Yokohama Parada Spec 2`s, these are the buisness..used to get the power of the black beast down through these (well maybe the lsd helped) Phil

Owen Developments turbo :drool: had one of their turbos on my Rs:cool: They certainly know what they are doing Good luck with it Phil

Hi and welcome...to be honest drop the pipe off restud and use new nuts and gasket.Whilst off fit a nice new Milltek 200cel downpipe Enjoy Phil

I agree...NO FAIL its not even tested :eek: Your manual reference is for the fronts only. What they like hey:P Phil (mot tester)

Lol, Dont worry m8.... me and Steve both speak from experience, i used to own the black beast:cool: 370bhp:P Phil

Thought he was running a 6 speed though....?

The only weak point will be if its using the 5 speed gearbox..... a few members on here have had problems... Phil

Rsorions is a gt2871rs Ben, not sure on the other guys...

Defo risking internal damage with a Gt28 bolted on... The black beast was modded with a Gt2871rs all the internals done and was pushing a lot more than that.....Manual boost controller is a bit risky as well Phil

Milltek all the way.... HTH Phil

Servicing the Dv is a piece of cake...full details on Forge`s website,I run with the yellow spring which is stiffer than the standerd green one, but green should be ok for yours. I run with no engine cover as i got fed up with the 007 rattling against it. Toyed with idea of cold side kit but a lot of money for no gain other than cosmetic HTH Phil

Hi and welcome, good choice...

I always do emmisions first.... if it fails then you get to check the exhaust etc out....To be honest with those figures and the fact the engine temp only showed 12c your MOT tester is a bit over zelous im afraid. How far are you from Bicester? nudge nudge wink wink Phil

Get it their and leave it running so its piping hot, try and leave the aircon on so it has more load on the engine... Can you post up the figures? Phil (MOT tester)

Sorry Gerry used your line...:P Phil

With brake discs removed dont forget to clean up the hub faces with some emery cloth or wire wheel....so the hub face looks nice and shiny would be good...Helps eliminate any possibility of the disc not sitting correctly. HTH Phil

Just what i did to mine :eek: Phil:cool:

Dont talk to me about routers:mad: Won a Netgear DG834N on ebay and gues what its faulty...spent an hour on Netgears tech help and they said wireless transmission must be busted :thumbdwn: turns out the guy i got it from purchased it on the 10th Jan 09 off of ebay and could not get it working:mad: Now in the hands of Paypal Rant over though, told by mate who works for Misco that this one is generally a good buy...getting one new off him now:) Phil

Had mine repaired in October, very quick turnaround less than two weeks.. Free gold membership for a month as well Phil

No there isn`t mate... just sleeves onto the pipe and stays there with a nice big clamp Phil

Defo; go for sports cat...i have a 100cel one on mine, never have a problem come MOT time but then im a tester.....lol 200cel seems popular on here, no cat will put your CEL on HTH Phil

Hi and welcome....just down the road in Bicester Phil

:thumbup:Speaking as an MOT tester your attitude is spot on Good luck with sorting the advisories out..You would be surprised how many cars i see come back with items i advised on, failing Phil

Hi and welcome Phil

Can you not just put amber indicator bulbs in?? The laquer is prone to flake off of some of these type of bulbs over time ( Lucas 581 part number) Phil
