  1. It has 2 plenum spacers fitted! Maybe that is why it is so powerful! He does however say it has uprated cams and a few other bits, but maybe thats going abit ott, as if the engine is out the GT4, then that was a redesigned engine, so maybe he is getting abit carried away.
  2. Ian (Wasso) is the man!
  3. So what is the real reason Alonso is not racing in Australia then, has anyone found out? Im sorry, but i dont believe what we are being fed from McLaren, their press report is far too long and 'detailed' to be anything other than a cover up for something else. Why does Alonso not remember the accident? The whole high winds thing is pretty rubbish. There were reports of burn marks on the car bodywork that correspond with a rough location for something ERS related, which the team have been having problems with. Truth is, i doubt the team know exactly what happened, but I suspect there is something more going on. Id love to see Alonso on the grid for the season opener, I am genuinely gutted he is not going to be there, I think he is one, if not the best driver on the grid, and is always exciting to watch.
  4. Fair enough, so they do the same job as ones costing 2-3x the price, same adjustment etc?
  5. WOW, they are cheap! Are they good quality?
  6. Looking good! Top picture adjustable front arms?
  7. I still cant get over Matt going out without Matt, thought they went everywhere together! Pritchard-You will probably never heard back from the supplier, as they will not want to tell you its a pain to fit, and if they dont, and it is, then you will send it back to them and have words. So if they dont say anything, then you buy it, then its win win. I wonder if it is 'made to order' so not refundable.

    Lexus RC F

    Id like to see one in flesh, as I dont think photo's do it justice. I loved, and still do, the first Bangle 7 series he did, i thought it was a really interesting car to look at. Not the prettiest, but certainly different. Cars look better in the metal/flesh than they do in photo's
  9. Cant remember the exact reg, but it was something like Tiggs. Was parked round the corner from my mums house. Told my mum, and apparently she bashed into you at some point!!!!
  10. Spotted on the way home in some pretty shocking conditions, lots of rain and standing water. Didnt get a wave, but didnt know if they were on here. Was in my Azure
  11. LOL, its just how I roll
  12. Looks MEGA!
  13. I had Superpro Bannan arm bushes fitted a few years back, and they have been as good as gold.
  14. So are you saying the throttle controller is not really worth it?
  15. Thanks for supplying the graph Brillo, some insight into what is actually going on when you press the throttle
  16. Thing is, its nice to have them removable, so its easier to polish them up. However, if they are not there, then they are impossible to polish up! lol
  17. Both now sold pending payment
  18. Be interested in seeing what you think of that set up, sounds like a good route, will save you money over coilovers too. Only thing will be that you wont be able to adjust them if you wanted to do a track day or anything like that. But if your not bothered then thats fine.
  19. For sale is a Stillen Y pipe. Been on the car for less than a year, and was easy to fit and never gave any issues. Can supply it with the gasket too if required. Looking for £180 with collection from MK10, unless buyer arranges Next up a Scorpion Exhaust,non resonated. Been on the car a few years, and it had an inch added to the mid pipe to make it sit right, as i was not happy with it as standard. Welded by a pro, not me, and never gave any issues with leaks etc. In good but not perfect condition, though the bits you can see polish up nicely. There is a dent towards the front underside of the back box, though this is not visible once fitted. Looking for £180 with collection from MK10,unless buyer arranges.

  21. Be interested to see how that works out, were the Bilsteins expensive?
  22. Bottas and Vettel would be pretty awesome!
  23. Have I ? Sorry im too exhausted to try and work out what you are getting at. Abit of a placebo effect?
  24. Iv not driven the Zed for nearly 3 months, but it seems a little quieter to me after the non resonated Scorpion I had fitted before, plus the rasp from the HFC's has gone now. Im running Miester R Zeta S coilovers, with adjustable rear camber arms and toe bolts. Superpro Bannana arms bushes too. Though im wondering if i need to change to adjustable drop links, as only running standard ones at the moment.
  25. Did you go full kit all over? Did you change them becuase the others were worn, or just because you hoped they'd feel better? Nice vid Robboí ½í±. @ Stu; the front bushes are the ones that commonly fail but all OEM rubber bushes fail to various degrees over time. Shrinking, perishing/cracking, tearing and full blown separation are all degrees of bushing failure. Therefore depending on the degree of failure you may get minimal symptoms or knocking to outright diabolical handling! If you consider that most zeds are over 10yrs old there are a lot out there that would benefit with bushing changes. There is nothing wrong with the OEM bushes except they are to soft and allow excessive mov't which dulls handing and eventually they will fail again bring made of rubber. Secondly the compression arm design was poor which leads to premature compresion bush failure. This issues was addressed by Nissan on the HR and 370z I think. Urethane is better but as the vid shows you need to get well designed ones. I have used Superpro, whiteline and energy suspension. Superpro are up there, whiteline a close second and energy suspension third because some of their bushes are poorly designed. However if you swap those bushes for superpro or whiteline equivalent as I have done for the 2 chaps here you end up with a competent package and some significant savings. Monoball/spherical/rose jointed bushes are the ultimate because there is no bind or stiction and there supension geometry is always maintained optimally as there is no unwanted mov't. However they don't last forever as they are prone to salt corrosion and they are impractical for daily driving. I have been lucky to have been able to swap to full urethane bushes in the past and again to solid monoball bushes which are currently on the car. I have also done the full urethane swap for 2 members here. So I can attest to the fact that every single bush showed significant wear. One thing is for certain the handling is night and day and if you have other suspension mods like ARB, coilovers and adjustable arms it further enhances them. I will be offering a drive in bushing replacement and general suspension service soon and there will be various packages to suit all budgets and usage but in anycase priced very competitively. What is the rough cost of replacing all the bushes? I already have Powerflex banana arm bushes fitted. Just curious as to what sort of money you were looking at charging for a full replacement.
