    Exhaust Quandary

    Yeah they have nothing but good feedback. Hopefully it wont be much different flow wise, it's looks pretty similar, just quieter. Really don't want to drive to tdi again! I'm in no rush, so probably see if Torque bring back there black Friday offer. I've also messaged Injection Imports as...

    Exhaust Quandary

    That on the silver or black one dave? Drift - when you say drone, do you mean like motorway speeds, or all the time. I've seen it said a lot, but not 100% what is meant by it. Maybe I'm just used to mine which is loud for the whole rev range! Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk

    Exhaust Quandary

    After some input / opinions on what to do with my exhaust. I don't want this to turn into a generic 3'' thread. I'm getting old! Mine is now too loud if I'm honest. Whilst it's rarely used, and I do still get a smile from it. It's loud, obnoxious, and gets filthy looks everywhere it goes...

    DC5 Prices 2021 & onwards

    Wow! Ive been inactive for years in here, still got my 5 though. Was chatting at work, people were asking about it. What's its worth etc. Came here looking for a Js brace, saw this thread. Had no idea they were selling this high! Not looking to sell, but interesting to see. Mines pretty tidy...

    Car covers

    I've used a cover on mine for years, both before and after a respray. Absolute worst I've suffered, it some small 'dirty' abrasions on the swage lines down the sides. That was after I didn't take it off for like 6 months! So completely my fault. Nothing that didn't come off with the lightest of...

    Thatcham Cat 1 Installation

    As said, no need to access motors themselves. Depending how involved you want to get with immobiliser circuits, you can do very little stripping or a lot if you like making life hard. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

    225s on 7.5?

    Watch out for sidewall stiffness. I ran 225 on oem, Eagle F1s. And the area would wobble when you shut a door etc. As the sidewall wasn't being held at its optimum angle, reducing stiffness. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Exhaust

    I run a Buddyclub spec 3 and Buddyclub header. It's savage loud. I'm starting to think of a quiter solution, but that means a remap. Wasn't a fan of the twin loop, came straight off almost. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Spoon Blue wide view mirror glass fitted, before and after picture

    Don't think it would attach with no original glass. The pads are designed specifically to mount on oem glass. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Squeak coming from the seat

    Should have some movement in the stalk to allow it to swivel. But obviously fixing should be tight. Does it do it buckled and unbuckled? Dint lube inside the buckle. But no harm in stripping down the stalk, and a thin smear of molykote or something around the washer etc. Sent from my SM-G928F...

    Dashboard Tweeter Covers

    Try Hendy or Steels, or even local dealer of you have a contact. You might find that the choice of 4, is removed when they search your vin. Failing that, I'd be trying the cheap ones first! Not sure if these help at all? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Fitting strut brace

    At the very least, they need to be done up with the car it's it's normal position. Or all the tension will be working against the idea behind the bar. And as said, you undo those 3 bolts with it jacked up, means the strut can drop out of the turret. Id 100% keep the oem if possible. Oem uses 4...

    Facelift factory alarm and immobliser and insurance

    The issue may be, being jdm, it's probably not Thatcham approved / recognised. That's not to say companies won't accept it. Greenlight didn't ask for my certificate, stating oem is enough. Despite mine being pfl [emoji848] Any Thatcham approved installer should be able to provide a certificate...
