  1. When I changed mine I just bent the carpet up. Pain in the arse to work with, but it worked. Didn't damage the carpet or anything either. I couldnt see how to completely remove the carpet when i did mine, but I didn't spend too much time looking for it either.

    Watch out for the sticky black shit around the lights lol, it sticks to everything

  2. I'm just trying to confirm with them whether the gear knobs actually have a thread inside them or whether they are just a hollow shaft. Because I believe a lot of European cars don't have a thread on the end of the shifter, they are just a shaft.

    I know when my mate changed his gear knob on his E46, it wasn't threaded inside the knob. Just had to pop off the old one and slide the new one on.

  3. 180fan .... we must have nearly been standing next to each other. Check out how late he brakes after not backing off at the kink. Then you can hear him do a burnout just out of sight. Awesome.

    Tim.

    I'm the guy in the black tshirt at the start of your vid laugh.giflaugh.gif

    Was so pissed at myself, stopped recording just before he was doing the burnout. That heli pilot was doing some crazy shit on the last few laps of the day lol, was amusing how he struggled to keep up with the F1 car at the beginning as well. Didnt have any problems sticking with the commodore though

  4. sorry my mistake, i already have a front pipe - i meant a split dump pipe off the turbo.

    from what i've read its hard to a split dump that fits - the standard rb25 items foul on something?

    and stock pump appears to support 250kw easily, and seeing as the turbo will throw a wheel long before then - no real point in upgrading it if/until i upgrade the turbo.

    I have no idea if it will fit a Stagea, maybe give them a call / email / pm on here and see if they know?

    If it does fit, you might as well get it done before the car is tuned, although I doubt the dump pipe by itself would make a big difference enough difference to require retuning, if you installed it after the car was tuned.

  5. Thanks,

    Would you be able to tell me what would be the right offset and widths for s1, wanna get some bronze CR Kais

    18x9 all round is a good size imo (although 9.5's can easily fit), but it really all depends on what look you are going for. I am running 18x9+18 all round on mine, with 235/40 tyres. The rears sit pretty nice, but the fronts need to come out a little bit, I am going to use 15 or 20mm spacers at the front, whenever i get around to it. The C34 front guards can take pretty low offset wheels compared to the rear, especially when everything is stock.

    Remember, you can use different offset at the front and at the rear without a problem, it's only having different width wheels that messes the ATTESSA up. So you could go 18x9+15 rear, and 18x9 0 front if you wanted to. Just depends how aggressive you want to go.

    This is how mine looks (still needs more low dry.gif)

  6. can someone please tell me if these sizes 18x8.5 +32 18x9.5 +12 will fit my S1 auto? as i am hopeless when it comes to knowing what size will fit

    Cheers

    Assuming the 8.5's are front, and 9.5's are rear, I think they will fit (although front might hit on your shocks? Not sure on that) but it wont be worth it. Rears would need a bit of guardwork, lowness, and camber so that it didnt look mexican, and the front would be fairly sunken, wouldnt match the rears at all.

    You would also need to run different size tyres front and rear to maintain the same rolling diameter between front and rear, so that the ATTESSA system doesnt chuck a tantrum.
