  1. anyone got marcus mobile, his inbox is full.
  2. yes. the import soop has the same brakes as the IS, and the uk spec ones fit right on to that
  3. yes, colder air = denser air = better burn + fuel == bigger bang.
  4. nos lowers the temp in the combustion chamber so should work on all combustion engines.
  5. disclaimer from manufactures is they are intended for show use.

  7. i didnt know you had a stereo, did you show anyone
  8. "what makes one tyre better than another" the car its on. :)
  9. imsure halfords will have a cheaper battery, they also have a 5 year warranty.
  10. i used the wizards kit in my old IS300, had a 75shot with progressive controller. cant fault them, i would suggest going to there forum as you will find all the answers you need, and also can ask as much as you want. But deffo use a progressive to ensure your engine doesnt go bye bye.
  11. thought the issue was engine reliability with stage 1 upgrade and that you know of no stage 1 engines that have been professionally tuned that have had any reliability issues over the years. I named one that you had fitted and that has had issues, namely serious heat generation such that it caught fire.. and that was straight from the horse mouth, no heresay (or herasy lol) and was certainly a couple of years ago at the time of your instalation so is not something you had not heard of before cause you even agreed recompense for future labour..again from the horses nouth. Anyways, i dont want to bog down this thread in bashing Tdi, not my intention, just wanted to point out the above issues, as yemgi clearly has concerns about such an upgrade.. so i'll shut up now.
  12. lol i was only jesting mr Catchpole Didnt that have serious heat issues, even a few fires.
  13. OMG would you look at that Mark, youve gone and posted up a dyno chart, i do hope you had permission from the owner :) Yes, that is a valid concern but the very first stage 1 upgrade we did was on a standard engine. That was done years ago and is still going strong as faw as I know If i were considering the stage 1 my question would be "is this ok for the standard engine or not?" Unfortunately the answer isn't that simple. We have not seen any engine reliability issues with engines fitted with the stage 1 pulley upgrade, but we know of broken connecting rods on engines with less power. The only supercharged engine that we have actually seen that had broken rods, had the standard boost pressure but was seriously abused (to the degree that is unlikely to ever happen again). I have heard of other engines with broken rods but do not know the circumstances. Personally, I would take some comfort knowing that no stage 1 engines that have been professionally tuned have not had any reliability issues over the years, so would go for it Wasnt Kieron's a stage 1 s/c'd jobby..
  14. props to you for doing the work marcus, have you got dome details on them Jegs fittings,, been looking at getting some in my suup.
  15. mind you, thinking about it, wont need a dyno for a stock V8 surly, unless your tuning it i guess.
  16. i hope were gona see some dyno charts young man....
  17. thats fighting talk that,,,,, come on mike,, i'll back you up if gord makes you his biyatchhhh lol
  18. and your still on the same rubber you started on i guess
  19. LOL......discount for Fargo? the worlds rubber supply would run out the amount you buy You can get a tyre insurance if your prone to punctures(1 tyre a year i think)..... lol and youve driven how many miles in 2 years.. another suggestion:- an area that members can offer other members there services for a cheaper rate than norm...
