as in, fit this into this [laugh] [laugh] i was watching Pimp my ride and they could frigging fit 40" TVs into estates. So why not a simple sound bar? Do you think it is plausible? what kinda stuff do we have to look out for if we want to DIY this kinda thing?

Video: http://www.razor.tv/video/535694 You have heard of dashboard cameras in cars. Now, it is the turn of the bicycle-cam. Bikes fitted with video-recording devices are becoming an increasingly common sight on Singapore's roads. Riders use them to gather evidence if they get into an accident

Hi, Anyone knows where to get the outdoor door cover. Its the form fitting one. My ride is BMW. I prefer the non-third party type. Thanks

How difficult is it to fit the side mirror of another car model to EP80 ah? I think the Euro Star side mirror from Picanto is very nice, especially the star blinker. Possible to fit it onto starlet?

Hi guys, 1. Recently, we have been talking about people buying expensive performance cars that have been fitted with CNG to enjoy rebate. As known, the saving from the rebate is quite significant given the high price tags of these cars. 2. Do you think this is a loop hole for people to buy expensive performance cars at cheaper price? Note that it is not compulsory to use CNG though fitted with one. You can always switch between CNG and Petrol on the fly too. If one still uses petrol despite fitting with a CNG, won't this defeats its original purpose? 3. Is there a way to distinguish a car that has been fitted with CNG? One can always easily remove the CNG tank after installation. Can TP or LTA tell whether a car's CNG has been removed from the exterior? Regards,

Jus ordered a set of HID from the group buy.. now have a qn... we shld understand that merc has this bulb sensor that will shows of the malfunction when the bulb is faulty. I heard from some workshops saying that there might be a possibility that the malfunction light would comes up when u install aftermarket HID as the wiring is connected to the opposite, where the current flows in the opposite direction. jus to verify that anyone got their merc fitted with after market HID, NOT those bi-xenon headlight, whether it works with after market HID or it doesn;t work. Another thot is the original bulb is still connected to the wiring, but the wiring is being cut open to tap the power from the switch of the lights for the HID and fitted it into the headlamp, and the original bulb will still be working, hidden inside the engine bay, would it work? Thanks.

Read this very informative article in the Technical Folder, can anyone advise which workshop here in S'pore is the best in providing this improvement? Thanks in advance!

I am thinking of changing my rim and tyres to a set larger than my original external diameter. However, was told that speedo will not be accurate anymore. Does anyone know if speedo can be re-calibrated and where to do this? Thanks.

Readers of enthusiast performance magazines will probably recall seeing advertisements for "oversized throttle bodies". The claims expound on improvements in engine breathing that follow from fitting a larger-than-stock throttle body to an automobile engine. What the sales pitches do not explain, however, is that the effective diameter of the intake system is only as large as its smallest opening -- generally the inlet of the intake manifold! IMPROVING WHAT YOU'VE GOT Although the size of the intake manifold inlet will eventually limit airflow, there are a number of simple throttle body modifications that will improve engine breathing at marginal cost. Two such methods are "knife edging the throttle plate" and "flush-fitting throttle plate screws". KNIFE EDGING The volume and velocity of air passing through the throttle body will be determined by the aerodynamic properties of the throttle plate. Performance engine builders know this all too well and often fit complicated sliding throttle mechanisms to regulate airflow into their competition motors. Mainstream automobile manufacturers, however, often overlook the humble throttle plate when tuning an engine for optimum power. Such is the case with Volvos where throttle plates are simply "punched" from thick brass sheet. Punched throttle plates are characterized by their blunt leading edges that promote airflow separation at high velocities. The result is a throttle plate that will effectively regulate airflow, but fails to promote maximum breathing as engine speed rises. By carefully removing the throttle plate and beveling its leading edge, airflow through the throttle body will more closely resemble the theoretical limit afforded by the bore. Note that a trailing edge bevel is not required as the throttle shaft introduces virtually unavoidable turbulence at the throttle plate's mid-point. Readers will note that the edge of the leading edge of the "after" picture is reduced, but not entirely eliminated as sufficient material will be required to effectively seal the throttle body at idle! Flow across the throttle plate will be improved after careful modification. The result is greater power -- particularly at high rpm when airflow is at its greatest! FLUSH FITTING SCREWS The next "quick and dirty" little trick to improving throttle body performance is to flush fit the screws that retain the throttle plate to the shaft. In most cases, this is very straight-forward with the elimination of the thread locking tabs that prevent the screws from backing out. In situations where button-head screws protrude above the throttle shaft, however, an appropriate flat-head screw in carefully beveled seat will be required. With the locking tabs removed, however, an appropriate thread sealer will be required to prevent the screws from vibrating free. One of the better products for this task is Loctite

wat is the adv of fitting a strut bar?how many places in the car can fit?where can i get 1 got n cheap 1?thanks
