  1. It's only really a problem if you get an oiled induction kit it's been fine for about 8 years :D
  2. :D Only used wrong it is I know a few people who have had it and like matt said most complaints was it killed the clutch and gearbox because it couldn't deal with it. It will also shorten the life of the turbo used a lot but I've not seen anyone moan that it has killed one surprisingly, I thought it would have eaten them.
  3. Yeah you have to open a dispute with Ebay it's a ball ache will take nearly 2 weeks before they pay you back.
  4. I will move this to the sales section mate might get a better viewing there :(
  5. I'm toying with the idea of these next http://www.scoobyworx.com/fuel-systems-38-c.asp I'm also going to see if I can convince them to come here and offer us deals and group buys, so will have to see how it goes :)
  6. No it was fine mate no need to be sorry :) Unless you're doing rallying I doubt you would drive around with anyway it's only really for launching the car for the likes of me and you or to sit there firing it off whilst parked. Rally cars have it on for a full rally stage to keep the turbo spooled one of the reasons you hear the rally cars turbo chatter. But if you listen when they're driving to the start and around the towns that they do to promote the teams they don't have it on at all. It's just a cool thing to have but not necessarily needed. Main reason I guess with the engine braking is the amount of pressure that the engine will be under massive load so using the gears to slow the car down would increase it even more and likely to make it go pop. But you will always have a small amount of engine braking but don't use it to slow the car down.
  7. Gutted mate sorry to see you selling up that amazing car :(
  8. Ouch :( I feel for anyone who suffers with back pains. It was only a week or two ago I had my 1st real taste of how bad it was with a trapped nerve in my neck going down my back nearly a !Removed! week before it was ok again. Started to feel better after two days but I think I over did it and knackered it up again :( Just couldn't get comfy at all sitting laid down stood up. Driving was horrible too :(
  9. This is very true Pete ;)

    Oh nice you changed the design then, I liked the other one but much prefer the newer one :D And not to try big your car up any more but I'm not surprised at all your car is mighty impressive :)
  11. http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/audi-and-great-idiot-effect Before the A4 came along, Audi drivers were a friendly sort There’s a word. I won’t use it here because it’s rude. But at what point, my friend wondered, did all the <insert that word here> migrate from BMWs to Audis? Now, dear reader, please do not send letters, because it goes without saying that it is not the job of this blog to provide statistical analysis to prove this fact. Not when there’s hearsay, anecdotal evidence and blind prejudice on offer. My ‘evidence’ came the day after Allan McNish, nine-time Le Mans podiumist, announced his retirement from Audi’s racing team. The weather was lousy and the M4 eastbound was sufficiently blowy and wet that spray was hitting my windscreen from cars even on the opposite carriageway. I, like everyone around me, was having a slow, miserable journey. Except, that is, for a good half-dozen drivers of Audis (two genuine A6s, a real A7, an actual A4 Avant and two more I made up for good measure), who were auditioning for the vacant McNish seat and continuing at an unabated 90mph. It wasn’t always thus, was it? There was a time when Audis were like Saabs, bought by those who wore polo-necks and/or jackets with elbow patches to work, who slowed for inclement weather and didn’t feel obliged to fill any gap left in the outside lane larger than the length of their car plus two !Removed! papers. When did one of these states end and the other begin? That’s what my friend asked and is the point (such as it is) of this piece. The original 1994 A4 might have started it. Here was an athletic-looking Audi; the saloon even had a hint of spoiler shaped into the bootlid. Saucy. The 1997 A6’s bootlid was unadorned, but it was a design-led machine that could take on the 5-series. The TT followed and, if the supposed impact of halo models is true, made us believe that Audi built sports cars. As did its dominance of Le Mans. I wonder, too, if Chris Bangle could take his share of the blame. As Audis became more obvious and mainstream, so Bangle’s flame-surfacing styling made BMWs a little, well, weirder. You had to choose to like the look of one. Make an intellectual decision. Did people who thought more with emotion than mind migrate from BMWs towards Audis then? That might have been true if BMW’s sales declined to match Audi’s growth, but they haven’t. So is it, despite my intention to leave good sense and data out of this, mathematics? I suspect so. Audi has already announced plans to expand its model range from 49 to 60 models and increase sales to two million a year. More people in Audis will undoubtedly mean more chance you’ll see the odd one being driven daftly. Still, the anecdotes work, and we all need a fall guy. Carry on.
  12. Yeah they do unfortunately :( even 2nd hand can set you back around the £250 mark :(
  13. Was that the one on Saturday ? I see a bunch of guys going from Lincoln going. Surprised they don't use the forum actually.
  14. No it was just a 327 Bluetooth OBDII sender from ebay and the app. Was about £14 when I bought it their cheaper now :)
  15. matt might know someone that way on.
  16. I have baileys on both mine it is pretty quite off boost I don't mind it to be fair :D But if you can part with the cash HKS is the best one imo Just have to be careful a lot of fakes around on fleebay http://youtu.be/HblCEQXQ8Q4

  18. My Grandfather was in to his CB's and long range radios. messed about with them a little bit as a kid I used to love the Police scanner when you could listen to the emergency services. I used to sit in with the missus when my oldest was 1st born and have a few drinks play on the xbox or Playstation can't remember which one now :) on a Friday and Saturday night listening to it for hour's :)
  19. I hate people like that
