    Hid's vs upgraded bulbs?

    Given that MOT stations are now actively looking for HID kits as they are illegal personally I wouldn't bother fitting them. Its too much hassle changing back to standard every year for fancy bulbs IMO. Stick with some uprated bulbs.

    SORN'ed

    Dont get me started on that I had a right game. It turned out my insurance wouldnt cover a SORN'd vehicle so the policy had to be cancelled. A specialist insurer wanted £150 for the year which I think is rediculous for a garaged vehicle. So instead I've made it very, very difficult to steal...

    Anyone had camms fitted and actually felt increase in power

    The important thing is that he's happy with how it goes and the service that he gets I agree. I would never criticise the work quality of KTec as I've never used them. I had people telling me I picked the wrong Cams for the 182 as I "only" gained 12bhp peak, but the car runs/idles as it did...

    Anyone had camms fitted and actually felt increase in power

    Personally I take all rr figure with a pinch of salt, the only way to measure power at the fly is to physically measure the power at the fly. You cant do it through the drivetrain and expect an accurate figure. Anyone that knows what they are doin with a rr will tell you they can make the...

    Anyone had camms fitted and actually felt increase in power

    I agree, for me its that one minute no ones 192/200 where making near stock power, now they are exceeding it?? This is also very true, I don't believe K Tecs figures from stock, or what they are producing after mods. But I would say/hope their rollers give a good indication of gains at...

    TopGear is back

    Twas a good episode imo, I just wish they had let the Stig drive the cars round Imola to see what he could do in them. The Mclaren would have done far better with him behind the wheel

    If he has never synced it to his own computer thats why it will have wiped a lot of the info, but it shouldn't have deleted things like game save data. Try a restore, or be the absolute best boyfriend you can be, I mean really suck up to the misses, you dont want her going out and finding...

    Anyone had camms fitted and actually felt increase in power

    This is very true, I had Catcam 428's fitted to the 182 and I got a 12bhp increase top end which I was a little disappointed with at first seeing what others had got. But when I saw the dyno graph and then drove it I didn't care, the power and torque increase mid range was amazing. The little...

    Springs - H&R or Eibach pro?

    For me its the ride you get with lowering springs that I hate. It never feel right to me when a cars on standard dampers and lowered with springs, very crashy. I'd always save up and get coil overs myself. But if its springs you want I'd be going down the H&R route, never heard and bad word...

    Cambelt service recommendation

    I can't see the short trips your doing making any difference to belts. And from what I'm hearing from people that have had them changed after 5 years there has been very little wear on them. The 200's are on a 6 year belt change.

    This I was under the impression you just remove all the stuff from the HID kit and plug your bulbs back in

    The economy

    I was talking to a bloke about work about UKIP, he didn't vote for them as he said it felt like a wasted vote and wanted Labour out lol TBH we've been talking about moving to either Australia or Newzeland for a while, with Gemma being a registered Nurse and a qualified teacher, and me being an...
