  1. Would they work with none canbus equipped cars ? Cant see anthing that says yes, suppose I'd have to email them,I guess they won't plug directltly into the loom ?
  2. I was getting about 25-28mpg out of the mazda subaru between 21 urban and 32 motorway so not much difference, I don't do a massive amount of milage a week so 25-30quids worth of vpower does me. Learning to stay off boost and be sensible helps alot too :-D Maintenance wise changed arb's shocks and various other bits o the mazda, I've not had the time to work on the subaruuas became a dad last year, but it's pretty much the same you can take it apart with a 10, 12, 14mm spanner and a couple of screwdrivers. Parts wise only major difference in costs has been a cambelt and accessories change, about 200 for the mazda double for the scoob.
  3. Do they self level ? Also I don't have washers for the headlamps so not sure ir would be ok for mot :O Ben looking at these and some night breaker or ring h4's http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-W5W-led-bulbs/?bulb_search=car&end=front
  4. David did you end up with the ones from the bay ? I'm going to replice mine this week but I reckin I'll have to get upgraded h4 mains to go with them may look a bit odd else
  5. Have you seen matts wagon ? Can hardly be described as sensible lol. Looks nice I had a 91 v spec until the subaru was needed,
  6. 5, get loads more stuff in 6, more sutble 7, look on peoples faces when they've just been put to shame by an estate ! Madza looks nice 1.6 or 1.8?
  7. That your blue 5 next to the terzo ? Maybe the sunroof has leaked in the past or it was a smokers car before ? Either wa a replacement shouldn't be too hard to come by. On the test drive did you give it the beans and all was ok on the temp gauge ? Imports will have a shorter vin number on a hpicheck, ovbious signs are better spec with more electrics, rear fog added on somewhere, small rear square number plate, and different badges unless they have been changed.
  8. http://www.planetcamping.co.uk/musucbag-lite-adults-charcoal.html One of these My have to be on the cards !
  9. Right sounds good, need to get sorted asap as need new sleeping bag lol
  10. Did he sell the bolt covers for the seats ? After a set for passenger and drivers seats
  11. Paid 85 for all for repalcing the other week
  12. Haha all I can think of now is that episode of the simpsons where homer's face is on the Japanese soap powder box
  13. Is it xamping by the car or in designated area ? Sorry for all random questions
  14. Can we have a headcount as to who's doing the weekend and what accomodation they are opting for ?
  15. Yep it will retart the timing if it thinks it's knocking or even put the car into safe mode to stop anything bad happening.
  16. I may be down for this, would be interesting on seeing how much mine puts out although thres a dyno at japshow, Don't even know whats happening next week let alone october, towards the end of oct begining of nov would be better for me
  17. Hello welcome, have you looked at any imports ? Generally the shells are in better condition.as they haven't been exposed to as many salty winters, obviously a good underseal is a must, they cost a little more to insure but come with a few more goodies and slightly more power. The rust is a pain but if your coming from mk1 mx5 ownership least you shouldn't have to worry about the sills, As for the fans on the car could be down to a loose wire or could be something more sinister, did any of the fans kick in at any point on he test drive ? As for a headliner missing it's a bit odd, has the car had a roll cage in at some point ? Loads of cars being broken so picking up a replacement shouldn't be too hard
  18. Done anecu eeset? Just unplug the battery for half hour and press the brake pedal for thirty seconds to discharge any electrical current, what fuel do you use ? Did you ever getround to cleaning the idle valve ?

    The dark side

    Seen one before although this one looks like it's been lowered a bit arent they badged as evo gt or something ? Still having to service every 4.5k is enough to put me off. Last evo I rode in was bone jaringly harsh
  20. Made it's way ip ftom the depths of Grimsby arrgh ! I take it thats a cv boot or whats left of one ?
  21. What kind of gain do you get with those mate ? Is it more based towards mpg/ economy or torque & performance? Often thought about them for our vans
  22. Yes 4 wheel alignment will be fine , I've just used chap who although he doesn't have the latest kit but he knows what he's doing his 4 wheel alignment does camber caster and toe etc charged the the grand total of 40 quid as long as you get someone who knows how to use the kit you'll be fine, Kwik fit near me have a hunter but they cant use it properly and they'll charge a ton for the privilege
  23. 50 quid for m.o.t max, did they3y charge a re test fee on top ?
  24. Or no honk in that case ! Still a cheap fix at least, is it dead or not loud enough ?
  25. Haha well, I've not used my tent for three years and in that time I've lent it out so god knows what state it will be in when I put it back up, I do however havr a kettle 3 ring gas stove and all the trappings for a good breakfast. Not sure if gas burners are allowed on site ? Only mentions no open fires. Eithet way I'll camp if theres a few of us if not I'll just meet you two in Sheffield on the sunday.
