  1. I found that with 19" wheels on, my car did tramline a little more, and the steering felt slighty beefier, and the ride slightly more fidgety. The upside is great traction, and looks, however, the 18" Rays are really light, and as said, if you were going to track it on a regular basis, then id stick with the 18". Tyres are cheaper for 18" too. You would need to spend serious money to get 19" wheels anywhere near as light as the Rays.
  2. Well not much tread on my rear 452's, and thinking that as its winter, it would be a good idea to get some new boots all round.
  3. Currently have Falken 452's, and always thought they were great, so looking forward to seeing what these are like
  4. Well i ripped both heat shields off, and still had the rattle, was only replacing them that got rid of the noise.
  5. Just taken the plunge on a full set of MPSS, to replace the Falken 452's currently on my car. Thought id try out what everyone raves about, and got a good price at Hi Q fully fitted for £910, Tyre Universe wanted £850, but then id need to get them to somewhere to be fitted, which is £15-20 a corner, so to save all the transport hassle etc, thought this was a good deal. Not ideal just before xmas, but nevermind. Will be interesting to see what they are like.
  6. Amazing job there, great effort! Just wondered, whats your technique for making sure you dress all the rubber trim, but dont get the product on the paint work? Or do you, and just wipe if off with QD?
  7. I had a strange rattle sound coming from what I thought was the dash, or at the back of the engine. Replaced the Y pipe and Cats, and the rattle has gone. Maybe its one/both of these, though I hope for your sake not.

    Knobs

    Looks good, subtle too
  12. I did a cycle proficancy test many many years ago, that taught me hand signals (not gestures) and the highway code. Im sure most people who ride push bikes never did this. I agree that lots of people on pushbikes act like idiots, I live in Milton Keynes, which has a brilliant cycle path system, yet see loads of people riding their bikes on the roads, or even worse, on the cycle paths without a bell, so you have no idea they are coming until its too late
  13. Iv dont a couple of track days, my first with standard discs and pads, and one where I thought my new DBA discs and DS2500 set up was crap. I got the disks skimmed by Disc Skimmers on the forum, and was amazed at the difference. Brakes felt like id expected them to,incredible. If your discs are not warped, id be amazed, as if the calipers are getting that hot, then the disc must be too. Iv only ever done one cool down lap on my track days, as I thought that was all that was needed to be honest, and mine have never had smoke billowing out of them or the calipers changing colour. Id contact Disc skimmers and see if they can help you out.
  14. Have you? Havnt got it yet..........lol

    CUBA

    Just packing now, cant wai, looking forward to getting away for some sun
  16. Will confirm when I get back from Cuba, but hopefully will be coming with another Zed, may camp too, depends on the facilities provided by the pub really. Guessing we can shower etc there.
  17. They are around £400 new, and then painting on top, its a not a cheap mod, but very nice. If you PM Clarke Motorsport, they will be able to sort you out.
  18. Flying out to Cuba tomorrow morning for our honeymoon! Will have limited access to emails etc if anyone tries to contact me, so dont expect a fast response. Cant wait to be honest, going down to Gatwick tonight, and staying there ready for the 8am check in.
  19. True, the 350 system looked and sounded pretty good, but the 370 one just doesn't seem to have the same build quality. Shame really as the one I had on my 350 went on so easy, perfect fit and finish all round, and if that and the looks had been carried over to the 370 version then I would have got one. I went to FOS a couple of years ago, and went to have a look at the Milltek stand they had there, with loads of exhausts on display. Was shocked my the quality of them all except the really expensive 911 Turbo, Ferrari etc ones. Looked like the apprentice had used them to practice their welding skills. Certainly would have sent it back if id got one and it had arrived looking like that.
  20. Got to ask the question, why is the show and shine on the Sunday, after all the driving etc, would it not be more logical to do it saturday morning or something, so that the cars are relatively clean?
  21. Anything aftermarket will be louder than the standard exhaust. No idea why they made the 350/370 so quiet. Iv just fitted Invidia high flow cats to my Scorpion exhaust,which i already loved, and now love it even more. The Cobra exhaust also sounds sweet,a friend of mine has one on his Zed with standard everything else. Unless your going big bucks, id get the Cobra or Scorpion and replace the Y pipe at the same time. These are the other weak link in the system along with the flange.
  22. Ah suppose the old Lambo V12's were transverse, and the gearbox was mounted in a weird way, which would make putting it in something like that abit more practical than a longitudinal engine and box
  23. Is that a Ferrari flat 12 from a 512 etc? Just looking at the width and the noise. Any build spec?
  24. Epic car control at the bus top chicane at the end of the lap! True legend. We worked out on average today that an F1 driver changes gear around 1.2-1.3 times per second over teh course of a season. Obviously at circuits like Monaco and Singapore you change more, and Monza etc you change less, but still an awesome stat.
  25. Thats pretty tasty that diffuser,is that a US only part?
