    New tyre decision or not?

    Bought the car , 4 years or so ago at 62k miles. Re-tyred it with at set of Goodyear F1, 40 section tyres. These have been excellent, (with some care on full lock).. However the time has come to prepare the car for sale, thus my thought to bring things back to standard. Newly MOT'd, at 71k miles...

    Refinishing road wheels and OEM+

    Phazer, Yes indeed, Figure of 244 was mentioned by "IlikeFishing" above and 244 was the highest of my 3 readings. Not familiar at all with "reading" a dyno printout, but bit of research has helped a lot. Evidently there is not a lot of comparability across dyno outputs for a wide number of...

    Refinishing road wheels and OEM+

    Evening all. Rolling road session done. Seems a brutal process but car fine and readings are:( an average of three runs: one in 5th and two in 4th. BHP: 241 Torque: 410 nm completed on a Dyno Dynamics kit, that has a local reputation (I am told) as a dream destroyer. I am advised that the...

    Refinishing road wheels and OEM+

    Thanks for the reply and the good wishes. My car maintenance regime is very similar to yours - early servicing and annual (2500 mile) oil change. You mention a different driving experience after engine modificaation - can you describe this in more detail? Car values not really an issue and...

    Refinishing road wheels and OEM+

    Hi, Been medically involved for a while, so apologies for late response. Intend to go ahead in the New Year. Unsure as to what's the sensible thing to do: so car is about to turn 70k miles. Taken some time to check mechanicals: recent plug change shows clean combustion and leakdown test...

    Wheel refinishing

    Thanks. My posting, or me, got a bit confused and I have since reposted. I have not had the machining completed. My concerns were really about materials used in the original wheels, as, hopefully is now a little clearer, in the second post. Thanks for your response.

    Refinishing road wheels and OEM+

    1. My "coke bottle 18 inch wheels are in original finish, have lasted 10 yrs or so. Now wish to refinish them to original manufacturer standard. Anyone know what that was: with respect to colour, matt, satin, gloss?, and materials: powder coat, lacquer? Originals have lasted well, and...

    upgrading discs and pads.

    Need new discs and pads all round. Want to upgrade a bit, but not into big brake conversions. Any recommendations, as personally tried and tested? Currently favouring the higher end Brembo kit. Thanks.

    rear wheel arch chip protection

    Thanks for the help. All being well I will be successful. Have the factory Quattro foils to apply as well. These came with detailed instruction, which I had found on the web before ordering. Pleasingly there is no contradiction. Again, thanks both. MikeD

    Navigation system update.

    Thanks, Phazer. Continued my hunt, post my post?? and looking at the Navman site, here thenavman.com/united-kingdom-uk-915-c.asp . At face value, this appears to be the answer to my needs, but I will seek their confirmation in the morning and if this should be the case, then £70 or so seems...

    DGA window trim removal

    Thanks, Phazer, yet again and apologies for the delay in responding. That issue has been resolved, kept the DGA after modification, as suggested and all is now well. Changed the front shock mounts, as mentioned in an earlier post. This has sharpened up things but the main noise source was...

    DGA window trim removal

    So, as purchased, my car has DGA wind deflector trims fitted. Problem is that the trims obstruct a smooth opening and closing of windows. With manual assistance, can lower both windows on the motors, but this is neither convenient, nor is it going to prolong the motor lifter life. Anyone...

    Boot luggage floor cargo net??

    Right again, Phazer!! Exhaust flap control mech. has been altered/changed to open the valve in all conditions, via a resistor that does not put up a fault reading on the dash. That said, the modification did not encourage a reversion to standard in the sense that the terminal on the flap...
