    Have S15's really dropped in value that much?

    I get a lot of people lately offering me silly amount for my car like 6k and 7k would you believe it! Trouble is there are a few S15's out there where people are advertising them for pennies even with a decent spec and are willing to say yes to 7k for a quick sale, now this might be a solution...

    Can someone check something for me on your own S15

    After going for a decent drive (30min plus) normal driving and braking, can you see how hot your rear hubs get? (Just hand touch the top of the hub through your wheel) My driver side has been getting rather hot lately and I don't know if its normal because of the weather and heat here in the UK...

    ABS Problem

    Hi Guys Yesterday I fitted new coilovers all round but when I was done the ABS light stays on. I thought I may have knocked a sensor or something so checked them but nothing, checked the fuses but they are all fine. With the bonnet open, when you turn ignition on the abs light comes on like...

    Apex Gen 2 comfys

    Looking for comments from people who actually run them and not just speculation.. Are they decent? Im trying to decide between these and paying the £200 odd extra for HSD Monopros.

    Selling you car abroad?

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Someone from Germany is interested in my car and I just want to make sure I do everything correct if its a genuine sale. What do you do about the tax? My tax runs out end of April so I will probably end up taxing it for nothing as it will be leaving...

    S15 rear abs speed sensor

    Sorry to do another thread but this is a different question. Does this sensor have any other role on performance other than the abs system? Today I took the abs fuse in the footwell out which dissabled the abs but also the speedo...now im 90% sure this has caused overfueling.. 1. more pops...

    Guide - How do change S15 cv boot (Move to useful threads please)

    Thought I would do a quick guide as although it is a straight forward job it is always good to have a reference. First you need to purchase a replacement boot kit, if you can get one with a fitting cone it will make it much easier to fit. (Also try and buy an S15 specific boot as if you...

    Has anyone ever replaced a cv boot on an S15?
