  1. Remind me not to do you any favors I want to keep all my limbs I was short of cash! Lol
  2. It was from a member on here that hardly ever came on, and i work with him, but sold his car, and he offered it to me for £100, so i tore his arm off!
  3. Fitted a new Z speed Undertray at the weeked, which I picked up for £100 brand new, it just didnt have any instructions, and I couldnt find any on the web. The one bit, or should I say 4, that I was unsure of, was the 4 plastic spacers. I put them where the front bit meets the back bit, but against the chassis to bring both bits down. Is this correct?
  4. Now on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121327945939?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
  5. Was in the Swift on Saturday, but saw a ginger coupe driven by what looked like a blonde chick in Aviator style sunglasses just coming into MK at Jnc 14 of the M1
  6. Yes,id still makesure the nuts are tight enough with a bar after, just to makesure, but must save loads of time when changing wheels over
  7. Its also worth noting that if you cut the top of the rubber handle out, the Halfords 1/4" rachet fits well in there, so you can use it as a breaker bar. Not that you are meant to use rachets for max torque....
  8. I quite like it, just feel the little triangle vents with mesh in them would look better filled, or maybe even with black mesh. Quite like the overall shape and style of it. As I said before, fair play
  9. Sorry i missed it, but hope you had a good day.
  10. Not so sure on the bottoms section, with the triangle cut outs, but love everything else about it. Looks good in that colour too. Fair play for being different and fitting it yourself.
  11. No barriers for the crossing? Cant see any smoke anywhere. Though they could be trying to flush a cat from a tree or something
  12. Ah wow! Ramps for trains! i love it when my train jumps up in the air, derails and kills a load of people!
  13. Brilliant! I miss Essex!
  14. Hate the interiors of the 996 Generation of Porsche, Boxster included. On a 30K Nissan, fair enough, but a 50-60K Porsche it is unacceptable.
  15. Saw a black 370Z parked up near the bus and train station, facing the main road. However, car had a few spaces either side, and a load of blokes from the council trimming the trees just infront of it, looked mighty close to me. Last bit of the plate was HHD or HDD.
  16. Hey Faye, welcome to the forum. The car looks clean and tidy, and mega decked, fair play. Couldnt get away with that where I live

    We touched on this when with the Rolls Royce programme thread. (Yes it turned to charity) To reiterate my thoughts again, i donate to Air Ambulance, and Cancer Research, as well as the occasional good cause that maybe a friend does to raise money. I refuse to donate to firms like Oxfam, but them in particular. They have a nice swanky office tower next to the law firm owned by Tim Henmans dad, my mother in law works there, just outside central Oxford. You will find alot of large charities make stupid amounts of money. I stick to the ones that mean something to me, and I feel is a worth while cause, I also help my sister out with things if needed, as she is always on the borderline. I dont donate 10% of my salary to charity, but I feel I do enough.
  18. Cheers for the advice Keyser. Im off to Whitstable in a month for an inlaw gathering, so thinking that maybe I can get all the work done at Kaiser, as they are not far from there, and I wont need the car, as my wife will be going down a few days before, so she will have her car there.
  19. Iv got the Eibach ARB's fitted, have done for over a year now, and looking seriously at getting the MeisterR Zeta S coilovers to compliment them. The car is over 10 years old now, and pretty sure the springs and dampers have seen better days, not to mention trying to be a compromise between comfort and sport. With the coilovers, atleast I can adjust them to be specific to how I want the car. When I do the odd track day, I can lower it a little more, and stiffen the dampers up a little to help. For road use, i can back them off and enjoy the comfort
  20. I got 4 MPSS's in 19's fitted for £900 from my local HiQ, which I thought was a good price, especially when you factor in getting the tyres delivered, then getting them to the tyre place etc etc. If you can stretch to them, then I would say you would not be disappointed, I coudnt believe how much more grip and feel they offered over the Falken 452's that I had on there previously.
  21. Cheers Keyser, thats what was done at Horsham, they pressed a bush out, and replaced it with a poly one of some sorts, but it does sound like I need new arms, which I sort of figuered anyway. Once the garden is sorted, (and paid for), I think il sort out the coilovers and lower arms, and if iv got enough botle, have a stab at fitting all of them on my drive. Whats the worst that can happen! lol Or maybe il book some time in with the Zed Shed and pick up a boot full of dohnuts on the way down there. Is there somewhere that can do the alignment fairly local to you?
  22. Sorry, i know im asking silly questions, but as these were replaced a few years back, does that mean that they potentially would not need replacing, or the bolts would be a little easier to undo?
  23. Cheers for the response Alex. Just done a Google and is the compression rod the piece tats fixes to the Bannana arm? I had these replaced a few years back with Poly bushes from Horsham Developements. Wondering if its just worth replacing the bush in the arm, rather than the whole arm. Would be mega peaved if replaced the bush, only to find that the other bit is the problem.
  24. Just wondered if it was possible to fit the lower control arms and coilovers on the drive way? Iv seen one or two people have done the coilovers, but havnt seen anyone attempt the control arms before, though maybe im wrong.
  25. Ah ok, blimey, you learn something new every day.
