I expect they got a bumper to go over it, I can see the mounting brackets. even so the amount of **** that would get in there would trash a turbo.. and the car is a RS4/6 if im not mistaken. I think so.

Hi all, First of all, apologies for the cross-post! It's gone to some car ngs aswell as electronics ones for both sides of the story :-) I'm just having a little play around with the idea of adding a circuit to my car's stock alarm that will create a total closure system (i.e if windows/sunroof are open they will be closed automatically). In theory, I guess this should be pretty simple... all...

Just reading some guy's post on the Audi forum, he is umming and ahhhing over what car to get, its a choice between a Audi S4 and a Nissan Infiniti G35.

Hi everyone I'm a newbie in the world of car modifications. I'm especially interested in the following car models: Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Lexus. Can anyone recommend some good books or websites about the topic? Thanks in advance.

First I'd like to say I'm sorry if this is totally wrong group for this message, but It's not easy for a Finn to browse UK ng's :-) At this point you should propably check out this link to see what I'm after: http://tinyurl.com/jsle It's a 5/76 built Fiesta 1.1S, and I need the yellow/black 'seat cover' for the left front seat.

I am just building a new website to help all you poor dummies build your own nitrous systems...

Well, it doesn't look like I'll be getting that Van Aaken tuning jobby as soon as I'd hoped fx sniffling, tears Noticed the coolant gradually turning a darker blue. There are also small spots of tacky black residue around the water line. I guess these are oily diesel combustion deposits which have entered the cooling system via a dicky head gasket. I did of course check the oil and coolant...
