    Dude get GT5 when it comes out........I CANT WAIT! Should be soon! They keep upgrading technology and then re-doing parts of the game as the new technology means they can evolve the gaming more.

    little problem with a member

    I'd name and shame personally. He/she obviously knew the condition of it prior to sending it to you, and poorly packaged it when he did send it resulting in damage in transit. Ok he could say its couriers fault but isnt he really to blame due to inept packaging of something that isnt very tough...

    Race Driver: Grid

    Not a bad game! Personally dont think its anywhere near close to GT5. Been hitting prologue pretty hard and its more realistic and ultimately harder to drift. I'd say Grid was the best car driving game ive played for drifting, until GT5 prologue was launched.

    charger cooler

    Chargecoolers themselves are more efficient that an intercooler, BUT - you will need to cool the water back down i.e via another radiator so you end up with two sets of inefficiencies; one for the CC one for the Rad. So your overall efficiency will be at BEST the same as an intercooler, and...

    Need a rad!

    I bought one from ebay for a N/A model. Same fitment. And works fine plus came with rad cap etc! Oh and half the price! Otherwise get a Civic Alu half size rad. Ebay again usually find em on there.

    very high idle help!!!

    Sounds like a boost leak. Had one not so long ago and was idling around 2000rpm. The BOV was mullered on mine. If you have a boost leak it will make a wicked whine through the leak as its sucking in air. You can cover the boost pipes with fairy liquid and check for bubbles in splits,holes or...

    Engine Removal

    From experience, you are best off removing as much as possible to gain the best access for fiddly bolts/pipes etc... Remove the front end of the car, bonnet and as many ancillaries as possible and go at it that way.

    BOV help

    Remove the standard BOV and the two pipes, get the breather filter as you said for the rocker cover hole, and remove and block off the other pipe coming from other side of the BOV.

    BOV help

    You should be able to just block it off. Are you not going to fit an aftemarket valve?

    idle prolem please help

    You may also have a boost leak. Common reason for high idle. Check all boost pipes, Intercooler pipes, dump valve etc. Do you hear a high pitched whine from anywhere in the engine compartment? A faulty ICV will make it erratic, but i doubt it would create high idle really. Worth cleaning it...

    Selling/Breaking

    £3500 seems quite a good price for your GT. Some tasty mods and decent mileage. My only reservations with breaking a car are: 1. The more broken GT's = One less GT on the road :( 2. You cant guarantee that all major components will be sold off, i.e you may be left with half a car and half...
