    Fitting Rear Roof mounted washer jet...

It appears to me that its going to be a headlining off job, has anyone done this and can give me a little guide on how the lining actually comes off, i dont...

    Test Drove FD2 JDM CTR today...

    It was a fantastic car guys, better than my teg in all respects id say. You dont notice the small amount of extra weight, the dash layout is very intuitive, the list goes on... Had to say straight off, the suspension std is v. stiff, bumpy but the levels of grip the car provides are leaps and...

    Buddy Club Exhausts, Spec 3 or Pro Spec?

    I met matt tonight, nice to meet you mate. He has the BC spec 3 exhaust and i must say that i loved it, but it was loud to have as a daily driver exhaust, noticably louder than my spoon N1. Also after comparing side by side i dont think the BC sits any lower than the spoon. So my question is ...

    Spoon N1 system vs BC Spec 3...

    How do these 2 systems compare? Both are meant to be light, not sure on the exact weights, and both are said to be fairly loud. Has anyone heard/ seen/ owned both and could do a little comparison for me, or anyone know anything about the specs (weight etc..) of them both? Also, which of the 2...

    Coilover damping adjustment advice...

    After my driver limits day, and some time spent with Tom from TGm in the car, wee came to the conclusion that the back end seemed to be set up too softly and that was part of my light back end handling woes! I have now had a look at the suspension settings, and basically all 4 struts were set...

    18's what tyres??

    What tyre size is ideal for DC5 when 18's are fitted, i know that 215/40/18 is closest match on rolling circumference, but not many tyres are made in that size. Other options are : 215/35 -- too small but common 225/40 -- slightly too big, and im worried about RUBBING on this size. So really...

    Does spoon 2-1 cause strange noise?

    I am thinking about swapping the std manifold to a spoon 2-1 section with decat straight after my MOT is done, but have heard people saying that with the spoon manifold fitted it creates a strange ticking noise? I wondered if this was only with the full manifold or will it do it with just the...

    I am thinking about getting one of these as a decat, to go with my spoon N1 exhaust system. What difference if any will changing it make, in respect to noise, power, will it make the car run lean etc...?? Adrian

    Parked next to a DC2 the other day....

    What do people think of the 2 types, were parked in naff spaces so no chance to get good pics but shows the differences between older and newer. I was thinking about getting a DC2 before the DC5, but now having owned the DC5 i just cant get on with the looks (especially of the back) of...

    Brakes feel a bit....

    Well spongy i suppose is a good word. They dont feel as tho they want to bite if you can tell what i mean, i have to push pretty damn hard before much happens and even then it feels as tho the brakes are not really wanting to stop the car lol. My old car felt a lot more responsive to pedal...
