Sorry guys, im afraid im gna have to drop out of this one

Some arse drove into the front of my car yesterday while i was at work, and i dont think its going to be cheap to repair. The damage isnt major, needs a front bumper respray and a new number plate holder, as long as theres no damage behind. pretty pi**ed off atm, but @*!# happens.

Was struggling to get the time off from work anyways, now with having to get the car repaired too, it wont be done before the trip and i could do with saving the cash from not going so i can get the car repaired

Surprise surprise the person that drove into it left no details as always

Yes im still coming, but i decided to stay in the village so i booked the Caledonian.

erm.... yes this is me, but I called her about a month ago to cancel this. Will sort it.

Cheers

Received today, cheers Tim. Now just need to wait for the weather to sort itself out!

Awesome, cheers Tim

Btw guys, i went with the Dodo Supernatural panel pot and a few pre wax bits, will post up results when ive had time to sort the car out.

The CSL pics looked good.

Tim, would you suggest the generic waxes over something like the light fantastic? I saw Ho got some very nice results using supernatural and then light fantastic over the top.

Hi all,

Ive been using Pete's '53 from CG, but my wax pot is starting to look a bit bare. So im now considering what to replace it with ^^

Choices are atm, CG 50/50 paste wax or something from the dodo juice range. Its a GM car so something that gives good results on the lighter cars would be good.

reccomendations....

Also, anyone used EZ creme or other pre wax glazes? views on these...

I normally use Jetseal 109 to seal it every so often, so im just after something between this and wax if its worth bothering with?

mmm, hopefully nothing will materialise........last time that happened to me i got a stone chip the size of a small volcano!

Was it worse than Andys(AK350)? His looked like someone shot at him!

Hi Daveyboy,

 

At the moment, the exhaust rates have improved, current price is £1195 on this item (website price is £1295).

Gaz

Am i right in thinking that if the speakers are changed, the amp must also be changed at the same time? Something to do with the 1Ohm resistance load? maybe i got this the wrong way round and its the speakers wont run with a different amp?

Good to hear you got a good deal... Seems very good although does it allow for mods? Flux have just come through nicely for me so won't hear a bad word said about them!

 

Yeah, Admiral allow for mods - all mine declared and they quoted £309 for this year (incl protected no claims, courtesy car and free European Green card). No-one else can get near to that price for me

How???

I'm chuffed to bits with Admiral; I'm only 24 and park it on a street - they covered me for £700... OK I know initially it seems heavy, but given I'm yound I'd say that's not bad at all!

 

I was paying £560 for a modded MKIV Golf GTI

 

God love moneysupermarket.com

 

 

That is good

 

I'm paying that and I've got 8 years no claims!

Im paying more than that with 5 yrs NCB, and it parked on the drive. But i am 23 altho ive got the old man as a named driver to stop it being thousands!

He had way more grunt than me coming up the hill on bridge straight! Caught me quite quickly when I was trying to pass some very slow car (it was a white something) ^^

Mine put out 314.5 at the fly a few weeks ago when I had it on there, completely stock. The guy who owns the rolling road said that cars that had been tested elsewhere (in the local-ish area) got lower results on this one, than others so they claim it not to overstate the measurements but well its more about how it feels than what it can measure on the rollers.

 

What year car ?

its a 58, so should have 309 hp anyways. The WHP figure is pretty poor at only 233, so maybe its crap at calculating transmission losses.

Chris, are these like normal track days where you can do as many laps as you like on each track (time permitting)?

Also, im gna need some reccomendations for tires that wont be shreded in 1 20 min session. The state of mine after Silverstone crappy bridgestones!

Ive lost all the small grooves on the inside of the tyre that are for clearing the water, but the main tread of the tyre still has loads left! Think maybe its a tracking issue, but anyways I had lumps of rubber coming off the tyre. Think it was just too hot for them

Yh, that was mark then (M350) cos he went out on track with Mick.

Now was it Rooner or Boomer that was the last to leave talking to that guy as we all left? Im surprised you managed to get away! He seemed intent on talking as he was still there when I got back from handing my helmet back.

 

Was nice meeting everyone too, and cheers Mick for being my tour guide to Silverstone National, also if you could send me a link to that place you mentioned about the helmets i would appreciate it!

 

It was me, I waited for Fiddy to give him back his Jumper then this guy started talking to me.

 

He just sold his Z3M coupe and likes 350z's....I think I sold him one I was last to leave pretty much.

 

You gave the jumper to 3FIDDY? It was MY350B's mates jumper.

Well i finally got home about 8 after my very slow drive back!

I am never going to make jokes about leaving the spare wheel at home to save weight again!

Cheers Rob for organising a great day, really enjoyed it!

Finally managed to get the Zed out on track and was very impressed. Shame the tires really couldn't cope with the heat completely shreded from just 1 20 min session out! I now need to dig all the rubber out of the grooves at somepoint this week ^^

I could be up for this, will have a chat at JTS. Need to check with work too

Yup, sounds like an FM transmitter. The factory fitted bose stereos have no additional connectors free to plug in add-on items and I didn't notice any free wires when I was replacing my HU. I seriously doubt they would be splicing into the factory loom (if that would even work!) so it will more than likely be an overpriced FM transmitter.

IMHO the best way to use your ipod is to change the HU from the crappy looking BOSE that looks like it came from the 80's!

My sister has a belkin FM transmitter and loves is, but you have to use the ipod to change tracks/playlists etc which i didn't like.

just remember i have 100hp less than you all, so dont go too mad

Guys, leave the spare wheels at home if you wish to lose Louis!

Were all a bit overweight compared to his lil civic!
