  1. imo silver calipers look horrible, looks like ones crappy cars come with. are you sure you want silver? Plus IMO if you could get away with powder coating it you would be better doing that Eeeek - each to their own but I'm with Dblock on this one - not Silver mate.........they'll blend in too much - silver car, discs, wheels calipers..............go lime green Or yellow with black decals
  2. This but is utter b*llocks. If the kid had looked before crossing the f***ing road, then he would have seen the f***ing car and not been run over in the first f***ing place!!! Sorry, but stuff like that boils my ****. Teach kids to use the road properly instead of assuming that every car driver is a menace (even if she clearly was stupidly speeding in this case). I see the point the instructor was making Husky but even if she wasn't speeding, she still may not of stopped on time if her reactions weren't good enough!!! I understand the logic but I think for the sake if the course they should have a better example as I think that one implies that road safety is only the duty of drivers and not the general public as a whole. Seven years or maybe longer ago when I owned a little 1.2 Clio I was driving down a 30 road from Carfin to New Stevenson. On my side of the road, cars were parallel parked along the length of the road. On the same side of the road was a convenience shop. Nice day/good weather and as I'm driving down a wee boy sprints straight out shop door (sweets in hand) onto the road as I approach. Not even a part of the road that has a zebra crossing or lights - I couldn't see him until he was in front of me due to the parked cars and his lack of height. Needless to say, time slowed down, my life flashed before me, my pants filled and I slammed the anchors on. Stopped, and I joke you not a bawhair away from him. He was like a rabbit in headlights and had almost certainly pi**ed his pants. When i realised I hadn't killed him, I honked the crap out my horn in which I'm sure he preceded to provide his spilled urine a brown friend........and off he ran with his sweeties. On reflection I shouldn't maybe got out and given him a few friendly words about road safety but I couldn't leave the car for sodden pants Hopefully that was enough to scare him. If I had hit him, I have no doubt that I would get the the blame. I'd be the maniac even though I wasn't speeding. I am a teacher and I put a big emphasis on road safety but ultimately it comes down to the person to make sure they are being safe. With some kids (thankfully only a minority) attitudes it's in one ear, out the other as they think it will never happen to them.
  3. Can I install one of these on my missus!
  4. It's perfectly natural mate - don't worry I'll let the helpful people continue now
  5. Cheeky little RNS issued for RRL this morning guys. Did you boys manage to transfer RMP onto AIM?
  6. Surely it'd be mighty tricky to cover those tiny letters without hiding other parts of the calipers? Or am I missing something? ...uuummm get a new brembo sticker...? Errrm yeah exactly what I was thinking. You can get the brembo decals on eBay in just about any colour you like mate - members on here can make them too. Calliper off, cover pistons etc, paint, apply stickers, calliper on and jobs a good un. Some members have may recommend that you strip the calipers down, paint with a thermal paint, replace seals etc but my painter did them and just covered them with tape. Haven't had any problems and I am just about 3 years down the line with them.

  17. That'll be a long day for you mate - you'll be tired! Put your foot down on the way home for a good nights kip!
  18. So what did you end up getting?
  19. What's funny is the Norway shootings post has had 5 replies whereas this has had 78. Remember my comment about who kept her in the media... True that it seems this thread has disproportionate replies compared to the Norway one in the context that this is about one person dying compared to 90 odd but there's not much debate to be had about the Oslo one unless anyone here is an extreme right wing neo Nazi. In which case they'd have a VW probably anyway so not be on a Nissan forum. Winehouse on the otherhand opens up the whole drugs policy topic which you're gonna get more differing views on I guess. And quite right too! The Norway thread could equally generate debates with members being right wing extremists. For example, are intelligence services in western society concentrating so hard on Islamic terrorism that they are oblivious to terror manifesting through other beliefs?
