  1. never in the field of human conflict has so much been given to so many by so few these guys were the whole reason why i joined up. you should get in touch with BBMF the battle of britain memorial flight at RAF Conningsby to see if they will do anything
  2. in the near future i am going to have to get some new tyres so i thought why not go the whole hog and get some alloys as well i have my eye on some konig holes 17" or morethan likely 18" now i have seen the offsets are acceptable from et35 to et45 does this change with the size of the alloy and is there any known problems with fitting 18s on the gs as in rubbing and so on cheers leg
  3. must be a common problem as i noticed on one of the receipts from when i bought the car was for a new amp although this says the amp is £287.80 + vat + fitting so your 400 odd sounds steep and that was at lexus sheffield
  4. to be honest even on the old palm handhelds you can get software that can grab infra red key signals that unlock your doors and once they are in its gone you have to be more and more careful and its a shame that having a nice car these days seems to put you in jeaopardy
  5. at least you got an audi i had to go for a metro for a while when my daughter was born cheaper to have expensive cars than kids congrats though they make up for it with all the smiles they give you
  6. and if you find a mk1 sports grille and alloys in the same place don't let em touch or the world will end ithink thats why you can't find em at all
  7. have a look on the us ebay too the filters are going to be useless but the actual induction piping will be the same as its obviously a carbon copy of the original just remember you will have to spend on a descent filter when you receive it
  8. hmm the eibach uk address is in leicester may give them a bell directly and try some charm see if i can get them from the factory :D bet i get told to buggr off
  9. aha interesting was looking for about 30 to 40 mm too thanks for that now any good links :D
  10. Hopefully next month i will be putting some lowering springs on the car and i have found the choices are really between tien and eibach so if anyone has had them fitted can you let me know what kind of drop you got with the springs and what the ride was like cheers
  11. auto glym restorative polish then super resin polish then hi gloss polish does the trick takes a while though
  12. on the other hand u could try to build up the charge and then claim it was spontaneous human combuastion and buy a new GS with the insurance payout always thinking me :D
  13. yeah but isn't it satisfying when someone starts going on about their new light clusters to say yeah i like em too but i bought the lexus attached to the other end :P
  14. mind u i change my oil every 5000 miles so its too scared to change colour in case it gets evicted :D
  15. cant u get a jeweller to lacquer them before u put them on to prevent any discolouration and u never seen the green rub off chavs get from their electro plated gold chains :D as for the chrome when its done it should go over a copper plate (or so i remember being told i think the copper prevents it flaking ) its the thickness of the final chroming that is the problem
  16. if the oil is black and half used it sounds like whoever is selling the car uses it for short journeys that has the effect of giving you dodgy coloured oil and will use oil if the engine never gets chance to get warm
  17. attacking this from another direction now going to incorporate the original mas and fitting into the induction kit One day i will do this the easy way but i am having so much fun taking things to bits its like lego for adults :D
  18. yep i have seen them i suggested them to someone who has ice problems as they improve clarity (this has been proved) i think the bhp rise is a wild claim ur ECU would have alot of voltage protection around it anyway so i cant see the use
  19. you can get some good deals on suspension stuff from the states just be wary of postage and import taxes which can make it more expensive than buying over here bet the guys who trade on here could sort you out though with some uprated stuff its the way forward :D
  20. funnily enough i was in halfords looking at oz rims on the way to the auto glym isle and lo and behold theres an 18" oz surretleggra wheels set for 484 quid. so after scratching around the price sticker to find the missing one from the front of the price tag i ask the assistant if its the right price "oh yes" the assistant cheerfully says smelling a sale .so there i go and spout off wheel sizes to him and go to pay for my goods thinking i am getting away with not just murder but possible serial killing too .as i hand over my credit card to the standard spotty halfords sale kiosk guy he goes to charge me 1700 quid. in the blinking of an eye my card is out of the chip and pin reader after much tantrums by me the manager comes out and says thats for the 15" version although it doesnt say that on the ticket needless to say i didn't get the rims for 400 odd notes . so the moral of the story is don't trust the buggrs at halford lol may be a bit but had to get that off my chest lol
  21. thanks morse but its actually a piece of the Mas that goes into the airflow (maybe) it looks like a dowel to me but i reckon i better make sure anyhow i just whittled myself an adaptor out of stainless so with a touch of technical magic and alot of prc we will see if it works If it does work out ok i will try to post a pattern for an adaptor on here if anyone else wants to take up the challenge lol
  22. got a bomz one off ebay chucking the filter in the bin though and getting a proper one even so with the price of the new filter it will be a hell of a saving
  23. ah i sit corrected then however if you find a sdcrew in one u know what to do now
  24. hello i'm austin i'm 28 and i'm an alcoholic oops wrong forum lol as i said i'm austin i have a 94 GS300 which i got about 7 months ago i'm an aircraft engineer in the airforce working with everything from engines to airframes ( we have a carbon fibre bay too) was a manufacture engineer before that first real mod is going on the car imminently and hopefully springs and tints next month
