I've looked at the GTV manual and the diagram shows the spring going straight into the subframe, is...

Hey, So while I am aware fitting the rails is a BIG job, I am happy to undertake it, I can weld and I can paint & fabricate no problem here However what I would like to know is if anyone has any photos of inside (without headlining ) showing what bracing/structual reinforcements have to be...

Thinking of possible upgrades to my tourismo spec 159. Has anyone successfully retro fitted auto headlamps and an auto dimming interior view mirror? If so what work is involved? My car is an 07.

Hi, I would like to know if there should be any problems in putting a 3.2 Busso engine into a 159. ECU? Or any bugs? (Besides of the turbo gauge lol) I am not interested in the 3.2 JTS engine. I would rather stick to the Tbi engine. The Tbi engine is a great engine, but I have the beauty of...

Is it possible/ how difficult is it to retro fit a sat nav unit into a GT without? Is the wiring all there behind the dash? I realise that the system will be relatively out of date etc but still better than no sat nav.......2007 car if it makes any difference.

Just a tip for people who have the problem with the engine slow to drop rev's its similar to having a air leak in the system, but normally happens to turbo cars that have long vacuum hoses going to the turbo gauge . Fit a item called a turbo vacuum restrictor that's used for turbo gauge flutter...

Yesterday was listening to a CD and on arrival at destination switched off engine. On departure switched on engine and music restarted. Oddly on dash screen instead of CD icon I had a picture of a cassette and instead I'm of CD 2 it said Tape 2. I restarted engine and all went back to normal...
