    New EU Reg's for Tyres

    As some new EU regulations have recently come in to classify fuel efficency, wet braking and road noise for tyres, I thought it would be interesting to see some comparisons! Here are the rating for a few of our faves, "A" being good, "G" being bad with a few interesting results: 215-45 R17 -...

    Track Rod Ends

    Does anyone know if the RSX track rod end is the same (I'm assuming they are), as these seem like a very good price especially as it's for 2 with a year/20k mile warranty: http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649

    Ohlins coilover bushes

    I'm trying to find a pair of replacement bushes for the Ohlins coilovers below (not sure what model???). Ohlins UK (Aurok) don't keep anything on the shelf as they never released them, but surely another brand must have the same size bush. 26mm diameter is what I need. Any ideas guys?

    Looking at getting something a little more friendly for my head and the Tanabe Concept G is meant to come in under 93db (current Spec 3 with race header was showing 110db at 4k rpm on the meter!!). Does anyone have any experience of these as the price is quite reasonable from funky power at...

    I couldn't see that this had been covered before and thought it might help those of you that want to save money on getting your bulbs changed to spend on shiny bits!! First off, nice and easy, jack up the car and use axel stands on the side supports (or if you're dangerous and lazy like me...

    Right, I'm after a set of KW coilovers for the DC5, but they only make them for the EP3. Can someone confirm what needs to be done/modified to fit EP3 coilovers if anything as all I've found is conflicting information so far! :xconfused:

    TDI North & Tegiwa Manifold Test/Review

    Had a chat with Luke from Tegiwa at Japfest after seeing there latest manifold (Toda copy) for the K20 that has been produced to a much higher standard than the previous offering I decided to bite the bullet.

    Pollen Filter Replacement

    With all the talk on pollen filters recently I thought I'd do a little "how to" for the less mechanically minded out there as it's very simple!!! First off, open the glovebox and remove these tabs with a twist and a push (one on each side of the glovebox): look like this when out (will be...

    Headlight Restoration

    After having my car detailed a few weeks ago I was dissapointed with the look of the headlights always looking dirty after a wash due to the scatches/contamination from over the years. First off, I removed both headlights so I wouldn't have to mask up the car and end up getting polish all over...

    The baffles in the centre pipe silencer on my Buddyclub Spec4 rattle at certain revs, am I able to cut it open and re-weld them or.............as it's a bit too quiet for me, could I just remove the silencer altogether for a slightly beefier sound? :twisted:
