Sorry to hear you are having problems again. I hope things work out...

Check the alternator is charging correctly and that there are no loose connections on the cable between the alternator and battery. Dash lighting up all the warning lights and not going out was an...

Hmmm which car? I last adjusted the ones on my old car July last year. Lubricant maybe?

They do offer quite a bit of adjustment. Full soft and it is actually quite a comfortably dampened ride. ...

I had a close friend kill himself by driving dangerously on a public road. He wasn't even racing anyone at the time. Stories like this should serve as warning, people may not be so lucky next...

bye bye rods, nice knowing you :wave23d: lol

Good stuff. I used to be a talkaudio regular for about 8 years, but don't visit very often any more as i haven't changed my setup and have stopped competing.

I never felt the need for a capacitor...

Looking good. What frequency is it tuned to?

Good work! I thought i recognised the DLS tweeters in your previous threads. Should be a very nice setup when complete. I used to be quite into car audio a few years ago, had many setups (both sq...

225s will scrub and require c70 bump stops. I think you'll have no chance with 255s.

I have been told by a reliable source that the gauge will sit at 3pm for a range of around 20-30 degrees, when the needle starts to climb, you'll know there is a definite problem. Under normal...

:) I think both Andy and myself have proven you can have a quick car without an mbc ;)

Ok, slide the seat forwards and upwards. You need to access the seat back from the rear passenger footwell. Use needle nose pilers to uncrimp the seat hide at the bottom and unhook the piece of...

I would look at changing the distributor cap and arm if they haven't been done recently.

My aux oil cooler has replaced the standard one on the side of the radiator. The top and bottom hoses that went into and came out of the standard cooler have been extended to fit to my aux cooler. ...

Is the temperature gauge reading normally? Does it rise from a cold start and settle at 3 o'clock position once warmed up? It could be that your thermostat and sender may be faulty.

If the ecu...

It never rains but it pours? I guess some of these things are to be expected from a 16 yr old car. Nevermind, i'm sure you'll be back on the road and quicker than ever.

I had my throttle body fitted and inlet manifold ported last weekend and the difference is certainly noticeable. The car feels more responsive, even when driving normally.

The current spec of...

If running an angled 16t. I would add ME7/R manifold, reverse intercooler piping, uprated fmic and possibly water injection to achieve 300bhp. It would probably be cheaper just going for the bigger...

Lots of pads to choose from. Depends on how much you want to spend. Genuine volvo are good for day to day and are cheapest option. Ferodo DS2500 are fast road/track pad and if you want to push the...

Yes the housings are interchangeable, but the angled housing is better flowing and gives better performance.

It lets the engine noise and vibration into the cabin. At around £25 for the polybush, its the cheapest way to get more noise. It makes a big difference.

I'm quite local to you and have had work...

An off the shelf stage 1 remap will be sufficient for most people. Rica/HLM, MTE seem the most popular. They have slightly different characteristics, rica is aggressive, mte is more progressive. ...

Cracking is a problem, unless it can be ported out. Not worth having otherwise.

Say hi to Martin for me at CCR. Angle flange turbo and downpipe flows the best ;)
