    Odd rumble when exhaust gets drenched!

    Ok, so i have a Buddy Club Spec4 catback. Standard height suspension (for now), standard ARBs etc. The system has been issue free - during cold startups, and long hot runs. But i've noticed that when i've been driving the fully warmed up car on the motorway and there is a lot of standing...

    Different exhaust diameters?

    Chaps Is it a big No No to have a 2.5" centre pipe mated up to a 2" back box? The connecting flanges mate up, as does the donut gasket, and also the bolt holes. So fitting isn't a problem. I asked the garage doing the fitting and they said it shouldn't be a problem. For the sake of a 0.5"...

    NHB EP3 - what colour wheels suit it?

    Guys/girls I have a very difficult decision to make. Tonight I'm about to drop off my Rota GR-A for a refurb but I'm torn between what colour to choose! I thought I was 100% set on a metallic grey (or dull silver), to keep my NHB looking unblingy and not too Knight Rider if i kept the rims...

    So what happens when moisture gets past the filter? (not hydrolock)

    With all the shitty weather & rain we've been having lately, I've began to wonder. So many of us have direct ram-air intakes, cramming in air and everything else that goes into the bumper or grille mounted intake pipes/hoses/ducts. Over the years, with different cars & setups, I've noticed one...

    Tyre Grip spray - instant traction on snow & ice?

    Saw this on Amazon. I was quite sceptical of it at first, but a couple of reviews seem to claim that it works - with a bit of restraint & skill.... Anyone else tried it already? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tyre-Grip-Black-Ice-Protection/dp/B002WBEPRO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1293006929&sr=1-3

    DC2 DB8 DC5 DC5 foglamps

    Can a DC5 owner do a favour for me please? Just measure the front fog lamps; width across, and height. In centimetres. I'm trying to establish if DC5 fogs can replace my OE fogs in my EP3 (2005). Don't fancy paying over £90 each for the Honda replacements. :evil: thanks

    Alpine X300 series owners!

    I have an X301RR, the tech blurb claims it to have a built in clock, but I can't see it anywhere! Tried pressing various buttons while on and off but nuffin! What am I doing wrong? Also, I can flip between artists, albums and songs......but I can't flip between genres cos i can't see it...

    Kwik Fit - bunch of lying c s!

    My wife uses KwikFuk for servicing her Yaris. Simply cos its convenient for her, being close to her school etc. She still used them despite my advice of using a proper garage (even closer to her school). The previous £140 service by them brought up an additional cost of new shox and other bits...

    ImportR's 2005 NHB: picture blog

    So, after my dear old Evo5 gives up the ghost, the mrs moans at me to buy something more "refined". ie. something newer, quieter and less harsh. I tried to get a Focus ST2, but the emergency funds didn't allow. So I plumped for the next on the list, the EP3 :D Got this on July 2009, just...

    I saved £180 with Swiftcover!

    My renewal quote with Elephant for the year came to a very surprising £642 this time. :eek: Bear in mind that for my Evo5, it was a touch over £700! So, I went onto moneysupermarket.com and ran a search for quotes, the best deal was with Switcover. As with the Evo, I have my wife as a named...

    Guide to fit DC5 Recaro's to EP3!

    Right, so I've managed to fit these in my car. No great drama's, you just need to have the tools & parts available. Tools: round metalworking file drill & small cylindrical grinding bit (optional) - if filing is too strenuous....there is quite a bit of material to remove! socket set...

    Uniroyal RainSport2 - full set fitted...

    ...yesterday. I already noticed a difference in grip over the BS RE040's, especially launching in damp conditions this morning (7am-ish). They grip straight away unlike the BS's. I noticed that on a fast bend, there appeared to be a little bit more roll due to the softer sidewalls (but nothing...

    What have I done to my car?!

    Hi folks, a new forum user here. I recently acquired an 05 CTR which has been great. Its pretty standard, although I've been modding it almost on a daily basis! Today I was fitting an Omex Seq. Shift Lamp, and was trying to suss out the coil wiring: I was trying to see which of the spark plug...
