Not sure what bulbs are in it and as Im not at home I cant check now. What do you think would be the best bulbs to use?

Thanks for that. Do you think the additives such as "redex" etc which are supposed to reduce emissions are any good, or are they a waste of time and money?

Its a '94 GTO and I'd say UK limits are near enough the same as ours. I have a second hand cat and lambda sensor ordered so when I get them on I'll bring it for the test again and hopefully it will pass. Is servicing the injectors a big job? What is the procedure for doing it.

I got my lights opened up and cleaned, a little messy like you said but they turned out fine. I thought I'd have much better light from them afterwards but thats not the case, the lights are still very weak on it. Is this common or is it a problem with my lights and do you have any suggestions...

Dont know much about these readings or what they mean but this is whats on the printout CO 1.4 HC 250 Lambda 0.99 What do these mean Thanks

Brought the GTO in for the Irish equivalent of the mot today and it failed on the exhaust emisions. Im thinking my catalytic convertor is screwed but would there be any other reasons for this to happen as the warning light for the cat is not coming on in the dash. The emission readings were...

Does that stuff actually work or is it a waste of money considering how expensive it is

Thanks for that, do you reckon I am losing a lot of power running standard fuel?

Has anyone heard about mixing Maxol E5 and Maxol E85 at a ratio of 5 to 1 giving you nearly 100 octane petrol. We only have 95 octane in the pumps over here so this would be an ideal solution if it actually works Thanks

Im assuming the GTO twin turbo is mapped to run on 98 octane petrol, my problem is its not available anywhere over here. Would I be doing damage running it on 95 and could it be remapped to run on 95 octane? Ive been told that a mix of Maxol E5 and Maxol E85 at 5 to 1 ratio gives near 100 octane...

Normal spray paint is fine for the rocker cover and intake plenum etc. It will dull after time but its cheap to remedy. If the engine gets hot enough to affect the paint you will have bigger worries than the paint!!

Any one used the online shop www.camskill.co.uk Whats they're stuff like, they seem to have great prices Thanks

Found an online shop, its web address is www.camskill.co.uk Does anyone know of this supplier, they have great prices in GTO parts and Im wondering if anyone knows what the quality is like. They're tyre prices are very good I got quoted 490euro for a set of front brake discs today, camskill have...

Whats the best type of spark plugs and plug leads for the twin turbo, also would upgrading to a k and n cone filter be worth the money, does it actually improve performance or does it just increase the engine sound???? Would a aftermarket panel filter be better. Tanx

Cash flow isnt great at the minute, thats why Im looking at the cheapest options I can. Even considering converting it to a van so I'l get commercial tax on it. Car tax for a year is about 1400 euro....van tax is only 270 euro. We are being robbed over here with car tax!!!!!
