    Attaching things to the dash.... and making them stick!!

    Does anyone have any ideas for how I can get my Parrott CK3100 to stay stuck to the dash board?!! The sticky pads that came with it were next to useless so I used number plate pads which worked ok until the recent hot weather came along. I've done a search and found that some people have...

  9. Making a Cupra R Wishoooo from the Turbo!

    Anyone know of a way to make the dump valve on a turbo to really wishooooo when you release the gas pedal. I have heard that the Forge dump Vavle is quite good but still does'nt make the required noise loud enough. I would like it to sound something like a Supra or R34 that have been...
