  1. Any 1 any ideas what can cause a slight suspension knock on a type r. I have changed front drop links but now noticed rubber top mounts have slight cracks, could this be the problem and where can i buy these. Suspension setup is bilsteins with pink sti springs.

    If it is coming from front and rattles when over bumps it could also be the roll bar bushes. Also check bushes on wishbone and ball joint. It is unusual for the rubbers at the top of the strut to be faulty even if they look a bit tired.

  2. Just to say thanks to Alistair for remapping my blobeye today. Not only sorted the annoying slight hesitation I have always had but also gained 51 horses and the car drives far better than before. Can't believe the difference! It's the best £200 mod I have done yet! ;)

  3. Alistair you were right we struggled with the new filter, just a tad bigger than the norm. Frankie boy came up with the perfect solution. He's always been pretty radical with his thoughts!!!!!

    Check out the finished results.

    Nice 'Al-Capone' look there with the cigar poking out of the grimace :D

  4. Got stopped and fined(£60) for the spacing on my no plate.One letter then a slightly larger space then the rest of the characters (So be warned) The lettering is standard ,they also said i should have a post code on it stating where it was made and also He said "kite mark".

    "I am sorry but it does not fall into the category Where i give you a notice and for you to get it fixed and stamped at an MOT station"???????

    "I know it's not just the fine ,you will have to get a new plate made up" :crying:

    Get this "Are they as good as they say they are "Referring to the car my reply "Depends on what they say" :rotfl:

    Not once did they look around the car for anything else ,just seemed to me a quick pull and fine :P I was not doing anything out of the ordinary as i had my wife and son in the car going to his Gran's.

    How dumb can you be, the officer even agreed that it was easily readable and not made to look like something it was not......his words "it's a bit pedantic" :rotfl: You are telling me....

    So guy's watch out.

    How annoying. Surely these guys have more important things to be worrying about
