The most powerful armrest in the world?

by jimxms, 01-08-2019, 03:07 PM

Although i'm quite happy with my current car-pc, I recently got offered this little box of tricks:



Its a Zotac Zbox that has a 1.6ghz AMD CPU, 2GB Ram, 320GB HDD, Wifi, Bluetooth, remote control...etc



Even better is that it fits perfectly underneath the arm rest. This means I could run all the cables for the screen and everythign else down the center console and neatly up to the unit.

The Dodo isn't dead after all...

Cracked out my pot of Dodo Juice Purple Haze wax yesterday after retiring it in favour of Autoglym HD....but now I'm wondering why:

NOS purge...

by jimxms, 01-08-2019, 10:02 AM

OK so I bought a NOS kit with all the purge bits the other day. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to plumb the NOS into the car or just use it for 'show' (if I ever make it to one :p).

Question is, where should I have it it purging from...

-Wheel arches
-Louvres beside the fog lights
-Intercooler
-Headlight washers
-Windscreen washers
-Other?


If I do decide to use it as an actual performance adder for the car, I may just spray a 25hp dry shot into the supercharger intake or something? Probably won't make much of a difference, but at least it can be for more than just 'show' then?

Well as those who went will know, Myself, Mattross, and Ormi entered the show and shine.

Congrats to Matt who won the section :thumbup:


However they didnt tell us the scores at the time and instead asked us to email Kleers and they would send us them.
I did that as soon as i got in yesterday and got the reply today:

Nopthing too bad here just some general dirt or bits left laying about

Well done a great score

Good tuners in Essex?

by jimxms, 01-08-2019, 07:08 AM

There's a couple of tuners down the road from me: Atspeed & Redlinetuning. I've not really heard any feedback about them, but regardless neither of them will tune my Emanage. What I'd have to do instead is hire the dyno for 1/2 day (~£400) and tune myself.

Obviously there's also TDI, but they seem to have mixed reviews among the Lexus crowd and I think will be quite expensive.

Am I missing any other companies?

Welcome Mikey Bean!
