Sorry,but got to ask what the goggles are for? Were you expecting it to spurt you in the eye or something? On a serious note, hope you get it sorted ok. If its a metal tank, I see no reason why it just cant be welded up and reused. Providing the welding is good.

Do you have one?

Well its been sat in my garage for a while now, and today thought it was a good idea to have a good look at it,and see what i was dealing with. Must say for something that is reasonably expensive,the actual quality of it is poor. The split lines from the mould on the component are very rough,and there is a slight moulding mismatch in some areas. Decided that having all this wasnt really good enough,so decided to get to work tidying up the split lines and improving the finish. I took a couple of pictures before I started working on it so you could see what I was talking about. This picture is of an area just as the air comes into the main chamber. And this is just after the throttle body As you can see,some pretty serious steps,and all this in an area where air flow is important. Also decided/agreed that the actual look of the plenum was pretty pants, so have decided to do something about that too,and to maybe make the plenum look abit more standard in appearance. Stayed after work tonight and removed one large area that already has improved the look,pictures to follow tomorrow. The plastic that this is made from is abit of a pig to work with, when you use any sort of power tool on it, it just melts,so you have to go slowly with it.

Amazing effort and patience,and im sure once they are all working as they should you will think it was worth it. Certainly look good on the car with the black wheels.

Iv got a throttle body for sale. Its had a clean up and looks pretty good,though may go abit further with it if i get a chance before it sells. Would obviously recommend doing a TB reset when this is fitted to make sure its all calibrated with the engine. Looking for £100 for it,but open to offers as these dont come up that often.

Im in MK,but know nothing about bleeding brakes im afraid.

I ran out of time very quickly! But went over the car with some Finesse It on a soft correction pad,and then put some DDJ Hard Candy wax on it. Was a great wax to use. Did a quick trial,and ended up waxing the whole car then going round it and buffing it off. It was so easy. Went round the car with IPA after the polishing to remove any residue.

Im sorry,but really dont agree that it was Grojean's fault,as Lewis should have seen that coming and either moved over onto the grass,or backed out of it. He was never going to pass Romain there. Im surprised Jenson won if im honest,but was a good race all the way back behind him. Vettel and Webber both did good from where they were on the first lap. Good effort to Hulkenberg too, good to see SFI getting some decent points.

I worked at the Singapore GP in 2009,not a great race for us. Lol Fantastic place to go,people are really nice,facilities are fantatsic and we stayed at the Swisshotel Stamford,and I had a view of half the track from my balcony. Watching and hearing the AMG's pound round was a fantastic site and the noise was awesome. Great race to go to,you will all have a fantastic time.

Iv got a lance and Magifoam,and have to say that its better than the previous foam i used. (was not Autobrite) I usually foam,then start to wash my wheels,by the time thats done,i blast the foam off,and find it does remove the dirt pretty well. Try leaving the foam to dwell abit longer,if its not scorching outside,you can leave it a good half hour

Looks like a nice car to me. Also looks lowered,though could be the angle the pictures are taken at. Rear parking sensors are good,and looks like the exhaust is reasonably shiny by the look of it. Points to having had some care at some point.

I actually like them. They make the car look more modern, and dare i say it, closer to the 370Z. (now running for cover)

What a nut job! Fair play if he does do it, but wouldnt he be more loved and appreciated if he gave that amount of money (or even half of it) to charity? Maybe he already does, who knows. Clearly has more money than he knows what to do with.

What an idiot! Glad that nobody else was seriously hurt,though thats no consolation to family of the guy who died. Obviously If he had been wearing his harness or seatbelt,then he would have had a much better chance of survival. What a waste of a great car too. Mr Pagani im sure will be devastated by the loss of life, as well as the loss of one of his creations.

I did all of my discs and pads last year. Took me a while,mainly because I faffed abit and the caliper bolts were abit of a pain. If you have an extendible wheel brace, I found if you cut the cap off the rubber handle, a rachet handle sits nicely in the there,so you have a breaker bar. Makesure the caliper bolts are done up tight too,maybe put a small amount of weak thread locker (loctite or similar) on the treads. Its well worth the small amount of hassle though,as the sense of achievement is huge.

Thats shocking whats happened to your wheel,im so sorry. If you can not source the wheel to replace the one that they ruined,then surely they need to sort you out a set of wheels. Thats what id push for anyway.

I didnt deem it worthy of £7 to see it at the cinema,so il get it on Love Film when its out on DVD. Looks very funny though. RED is also a very good action film.

Well im sad i know,but i was waiting for it to rain at home over night so i could see how the Swift was beading after its epic detail. Very well as it turns out.

Not a fan of the front or the rear to be honest,but certainly a rare car. Wheels look pants too.

Hello and

If you saw the state of the inside,it was the only way to go. Found old McDonalds chips and all sorts. Plus it was only 4 bolts that are easy to access for the front,and the rear back is clipped in place,with the base held by some plastic clips. Loads of room inside there which helps.

I got told off last night for spending time with her car instead of her!

Aslong as its clean itl be fine. I hate my postman at the minute,as he came the side to deliver something that was too big to post,and when I went in the house,found that he had posted a full set of steel wheel nuts through the door onto my wood flooring. Dont understand why he didnt just give me everything in one go. He has to walk past my house and gates (that were open) to get to the end of my road.

You could say that,spent 2.5 days on it. Its a great little car,really fun on the round abouts in MK when you just carry as much speed as you can and keep the engine above 5k.

Please excuse the dirty car and the wrong coloured bulbs. New bulbs on the way
