  1. My favourite cars are my two current cars. My Skoda octavia mk2 is my best daily by far out of all the other French unreliable skips I've owned. Very comfortable and cheap to run with a lot of gadgets and my favourite fun very fast car is my skyline 400hp of RWD fun. Handles and accelerates like a dream just not very practical or cheap what so ever to run hence why I have my octy --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?eu3ftn
  2. I had two honda preludes bb1 2.2 vtec's. The h22a1 engine is a brilliant engine and very well built. Out of both of them the only thing I had go wrong was a rear caliper seizing and cambelt tensioner breaking twice (my fault!!) the dash was like kit of knight rider and the handling was very responsive once you remove and lock off the 4 wheel steer. the problem is with honda being NA if you want to keep it NA tuning is very expensive for little gains and once you start vtec is never the same. I found this out when I updated the cams to skunk2 stage 2 high lift cams with skunk2 spring springs, top hats and valves and Greddy piggyback ECU. I gained 33hp taking it upto 235hp but vtec was near on lost after the remap and idle was 1200rpm. And due to the extra horses the cambelt tensioner failed on me twice and no one made an uprated one. Hondas are great till you start tuning them. I don't own a VRS petrol or diesel but but my daily is a 2.0 tdi PD140 elegance with a remap and a panel filter. It's very comfortable to drive. Very quick for a diesel and £250 for a 45hp gain you can't really say no. As much of a JDM fan I am the Germans/Czech's know how to build an all in one cars at reasonable price. Most of the skyline owners I know have a VAG/BMW/Merc as a daily simply for comfort.
  3. I've got aftermarket HID kit fitted to my non xenon headlights for a few months. They work perfectly with the projectors all I get "occasionally" is a amber bulb warning light turn on all I do is turn them on the off again then the warning light goes out. Hey presto no problems. Fingers crossed anyway --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?bnjo4b
  4. You will need an aerial adapter aswell as there different between the MFD2 and MFD3 units --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?y1ptte

  7. CORRECT 200 points Or trerulefoot aswell. Which is great as you have Route 38 diner there and the grub is awesome --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?zftbwa
  8. I tend to use tesco momentum most as its the best price and there's plenty of tesco's around me. Shell I tend to use less as they are 20 miles either way out of Plymouth so that's mainly used for special occasions lol. I'll be filling up with shell next weekend on the way to Japfest --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?3vm4ca
  9. The gain of higher RON is less det in the engine, cleaner combustion and better power delivery. As your fabia was built to run on 98 Ron, 95 Ron won't massively harm the engine unless put in high load under hard acceleration. if you had a Det gauge/meter you can see the difference. I've tried this with my Fun car as I have a LED screen as part of my ECU and I found that sainsburys premium and BP ultimate still give me high det. Where as Shell optimax and Tesco Momentum give me half the det number in total. This little box of tricks is a work of art. You can even map a car just using the controller even though plugging a laptop in is much easier. The screen tells you all parameters at a touch of a button --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?h5oqwz
  10. Sex wee experience!! The closest I ever got to my childhood wall poster was a Lambo Diablo. It was getting a new exhaust fitted down long life. I sat in it and that was it. Then I saw it again when I was out and about in my skyline about to join the A38 slip road at marsh mills I don't know whether he was playing with me but I managed to keep up till about 90 then he just seemed like I was standing still. Drool!! Love the F40. That was another wall poster. I've only seen one in the flesh while travelling through Switzerland on the way to Italy. I was only a puppy then. YOU ARE ONE LUCKY MAN!! To actually drive something any man can only dream about seeing let alone drive --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?utecsw
  11. I find with both Aldi and Lidl you can get some absolutely great food especially foreign food for a fraction of the price compared to sainsburys etc. it's just a shame they don't sell everything that you would want from a normal shop. When I first moved into my flat (left my rents house) we bought all the usual cupboards fillers like condiments, toilet roll, herb and spices with enough food to last two weeks. me and the wife spent £100 in there but we had nearly two trolleys worth. It may be 6 years ago now but you can't spend less than £70 a week on decent food on a big shop. I still shop there on a regular basis just to fill the cupboards up --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?ogul3g
  12. I wonder if they tested that design on that highly tuned street racer in a wind tunnel lol more grip than a F1 I reckon ha ha. I loved the Chrysler neon with the FMIC and the air filter?? Might need to add a tubby to that lol. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?lcfhrf
