  1. Er, not quite. Even though the side wall ratio reduces when you up the wheel size, the 18s will have a bigger rolling radius than the standard 17 or 16s on the supes. I found a good website once that worked it all out for you. I wil try and find it again and post it.
  2. (245/100)x40 = 98mm (275/100) x 35 = 96.25mm There should be 1.75mm difference between the 2. They shouldnt be any difference ebtween the 2 really so its spot on (unless you want the drag car look)
  3. I would get then to come back and replace the screen with a new seal. I cant believe they would leave it like that. When they do it, make sure the lazy sods dry any moisture thats got in the gaps between now and the fitting date.
  4. Afgan hound and airdale terrier ?
  5. Ive got a space saver in the boot you can borrow . Only 3 more of them and you will have a genuine 50mph car. Even my N/A could waste you then
  6. Just cos its only got 4 gears doesnt mean it has a low top speed. Theoretical top speed on 6 speed manual and 4 speed auto are around 190-200mph depending on which diff you have. Obviously more than the standard power is required to get there and 175 may be max top speed as std but its way above 155 (if unlimited)
  7. Sorry mate cant offer any advice im afraid. You dont have a machine gun under the bonnet do you ? Hope it gets fixed cheaply
  8. That engine looks the business. The interior is fantastic too, but someones put your steering wheel on the wrong side
  9. Have nt got a clue why your lights flashing im afriad. How exactly did you polish it to get it like that ? What sort of equipment do you need to do it ?
  10. most HD TVs upscale a SD picture anyway, so the only differnece is between the quality of the upscaler in the TV or in the PS3.
  11. welcome if you want to add a turbo later, you will find that it is easily possible and big power is easy also. HOWEVER - ive lost count of the number of NA-T threads and all of them end with "sell the N/A and buy a TT". Its more financially econonical and easier.
  12. The usual size on an 8.5 is 235 width (unsure what the aspect ratio will be on an 18inch) For an 8inch wide alloy that should equate to roughly a 215 i think.
  13. God only knows. In reading, thyve been re-laying the gritty surface/coating that is before every pedestrian crossing (to improve grip/stopping power). But the damn contractors leave tons of loose stuff all over it as well. Suffice to say that all you hear as you drive over it is click click click as teh stones hit the inner wings. God knows how much damage these stones cost to cars in terms of chips etc. Theyve been doing it for weeks now and every route in and out of Reading is effected, there is no way of avoiding it. I say this stuff shouldnt be used and pedestrians should walk faster to cross the road and avoid being hit

  15. Why are people allowed to walk down your private road ? If its private and not a right of way, are they not tresspassing ? Hope you have some luck with the Police/extra patrols.
  16. I havent got a clue what the relevance of that was either. Yes good advice, but why ? and how does it relate to the racing hart bit of the title. My next thread is going to be entitled "3.4L Stroker kit advice required" and all im going to write about is how to make a good cup of tea !!!
  17. Better change the message at the bottom of your mesages then to NOS not TT
  18. Toyota in Reading wont service them, and with my previous experience of other main dealers i wouldnt take mine there anyway.
  19. I think you will find that you are not allowed to point CCTV cameras beyond teh boundary of your property. You can pnly film your own land, not pavement etc, unless the pavement or road somhow cant be avoided whilst filming your land. The best thing to do is ensure that everyone in your road report EVERY instance of this to the police. It is classed as criminal damage for which most Police and Local Authorities working in partnership have targets to reduce. If you keep reporting it, their figures rise which they dont like at all, and then they will be able to justify doing something about it permenantly, like full time CCTv cameras etc. In the mean time, you may of heard about something called neighborhood policing. Basically the policing are rolling out thousands of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and there role will be the front line in detering/catching these types of crimes. Each neighborhood policing area has to set up something called a NAG (neighborhood Action Group). Phone your local police station and ask to have information about your local NAG meetings, dates times etc and then attend. If you keep mentioning these issues at the meetings then they will ensure that additional patrols by the police and possibly your councils wardens (if you have them) occur more frequently to deter/catch people at it. Hope this info is of use.
  20. A 100Shot of Nitrous should be fine on an N/A with a progressive controller. At the end of the day, loads of people have Turbo`d N/As and they get 300 to 400BHP without modding other parts of the car. If the Nos boost comes in progressivly it should be fine. Rays the roof has a hundred shot on his N/A (dry kit though ) and his 1/4 mile was 13.7 which is better than a lot of TTs at the same power. I was quoted 1.5K for a full wet install with digital progressive controller and set up via the throttle pedal which seems much more expensive than many of the prices quoted earlier in the thread. I was informed that it was road legal though, so finding out its not is a shock. Go on be different !!
  21. 235/35/19s front Michelin Pilot Sports (seem good plently of grip) 295/35/19s Rear Michelin Pilot Sports (grip in dry is fine, but i think they re too wide for my alloy as a 265 or 275 would suit a 9.5inch rim better ,and basically handling is crap because of this (i think) and in the wet back end is loose.
  22. Thats a time for a good N/A and poor TTs ?
