And can please explain the advantages, if there are any of running two Forum names?
When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Cleaned this horrid EGR

Got that just gotta find the right center cap. Someone from here made them so it stays upright all the time cant find that thread.


Booked car at tune place to lower high boost around 16-18 psi want around 180kw as i really like the 5 speed feel.

It no longer wants to stall on initial start up after cleaning EGR and need to lower idle rpm a touch as it went a bit higher from cleaning the intake .

Agreed, stop thinking that right now or I may have to smack you around to your senses.

Green is one of the sexiest NA/NB colours available, especially with gold/bronze rims.

Why would you want to paint it matt black? Matt black will always look filthy unless you clean it constantly.

Gloss black would look really good if it wasn't for the heat i may have.

In all seriousness, saying that Black contracts more heat than a Dark Green is absurd since both are dark colours. There will be hardly any difference.

I personally think your car doesn't need a respray and is just fine the way it is. But in the end, it is your money and car...

only reason i brought up the paint post is because i can get it done fairly cheaply. My mate going to hire a booth so i figured it may be a good time to prep prime n fix the paint on the front bumper and maybe bonnet fairly cheaply.

Your on :P

Which track? Mt cotton, Lakeside or QR?

Don't let these guys give you a hard time, Novice sold you the car and some how his mates still feel like they have ownership of the car and think it should be left the way the car is.(they are nice blokes though)
There is plenty of people who would hate what I did to my mint NA6. I've pretty much wreaked it. Go your own way on it :D
Cheers Nigel.
