Apologies Bullet - I've only just seen this (missed your post somehow) - yes it could have been me - but not 100% sure as so far back now... wishing you well... Mick

out of interest Gents what mileage are you having to replace rear bearings at ? I'm having to change my rear nearside unit at 50.5k - is that the same ball park as you ? If yes I may do off side as well as a precautionary measure. thanks...

If you're after the fastest possible lap times the technique is simple... you spend as short a time as possible on the brakes, and as long as possible on the power as each circuit/corner will allow... so you brake as late as possible (which means you are braking as hard as possible) this has advantage of loading the front to turn in... obviously if you haven't the brake set-up to allow this then you have to compensate - but your lap times will suffer.... which is only really important to you if you are racing, or wondering why the guy in front with an equivalent car is gradually pulling away from you.....

Looking good amongst all the standard fare en route to Omer from Tel Aviv.

Black '06' Coupe sea front & GM Coupe Vista Road... (I was cycling to Gym).

What I don't get is why the Top Gear team, who I had assumed were car enthusiasts, destroyed three very nice cars (two of which were quite rare and top notch specimens) just for a cheap laugh

absolutely Martin....

I would agree Beavis normally - but so mild in South East... just a light cut to smarten it up...

I'm considering this, so any tips appreciated... hotel, grandstand, carrier etc... I'd be staying up to a week after the race as well...

nice having a clean car this time of year... very mild... I even cut the grass (might be something in this climate change after all... (quickly putting it back in garage to avoid forum snow

Is it because there's normally a Halfords in their vicinity ? You have sub_conscious association

Subtle but makes a big [+ve] difference IMHO

spotted this AM on forecourt with sold sign.... anyone here ? if yes you can claim record first spot as not even taken ownership yet !!

many moons ago I had the same Volvo - 1965 P1800S with cow horn front bumpers as per photo - built by Jensen cars in UK. I bought her for £350 and sold for £380 !! that will give you some idea how long ago this was....

thanks chaps

well here's me and my R1 in Almeria last month... just back to biking after 10yr break and trying to find my way around... fantastic cct... will be going back next year... wasn't really looking for a R1 but a friend offered me a deal on his that I couldn't refuse...

some serious track day toys there hope to join you soon.... but have been mostly on track with two wheels this year....

so so sad, such a greater than life character... RIP and condolences to all his friends and family....

I was there Sunday - first time attendance. So much to see and do... didn't get around everywhere as watching the racing... you could have a good day just hanging around in the square near start/finish straight - so much going on and most making the effort in period dress

Stood out loud and proud parked in the sleepy village on Sunday 11th early PM

Many thanks Gents......

Tapping into the vast experience of 350Z owners Any recommendations ? thanks

A few years back I had the dropping clutch pedal when hot (journey time of 1.5 to 2 hrs). Fitted steel line and everything fine until now - problem probably returned due to garage using bog std fluid back then. Now replaced with high temp stuff. Now, bleeding the bleeding thing was a PITA then and again yesterday. We managed to sort ok three years back - eventually !! but yesterday no such luck. Pedal working ok but had an inch of free movement at top of travel Mechanic said try this and it worked Prop piece of wood or similar under steering wheel, which is long enough to fully depress clutch pedal over night - the theory is that it squeezes out any air (I also left master cylinder cap loose). Result is that my pedal has returned to its formal glory. Another tip to help the bleeding process is to keep pressure against slave cylinder piston when pushing pedal down inside car. Hope this helps and not re-post. I previously searched this and US site to find a bleeding technique without success.

just caught up with this thread and gone through top to bottom... Awesome

tragic... last corner of last lap as well (at least driver ok)
