Help me beat my friends at go-karting

Ok, so I've a go-karting night coming up with my friends in a few weeks, and the trash talking has started already. It is imperative that I win this 8-) I've been karting 5 times in the last few years and always loved it. When my mates and I are racing around the track, it tends to be a case of ever...

Wow, good job I read your post before making the journey to Halfords, Justin. I'll maybe hold off for a bit and check out some other options.

I saw the Alpine active subs in Halfords today, but their fitting guy had gone home for the day. Tomorrow I'm going to head back in and see if they will fit under the seats of a non-electric Z4 seat. If they do, I'll be buying two of them. Woohoo! Any comments on Halfords fitting service? I'd love t...

Good info here guys. I'm considering getting a couple of active subs for under my Z4 seats, and it's either the Pioneer or the Alpine ones. Both seem to get good reviews here, but are there any major differences between the two? They both look pretty similar from the website specs. I assume most car...

If you wire it in the stereo, it would go in the AUX port which means that you can only listen to your snooper and not to the radio at the same time. You do not mention if you have satnav, if not - you could investigate using pin 5 and 11 on the black socket at the radio, which is used for the satn...
