Iv noticed the inner edges of my front tyres are starting to wear abit more than the rest of the tyre. Is this normal? Horsham did a full alignment on the car when i had new banana arm bushes fitted, (and the 19's on) and all was good. Its pretty even LH-RH side wear wise. Is this just a characteristic of running 19's? Also been advised that my fron drop links need replacing,but cant imagine they would affect the inner edges of the tyres would they?

sell everything before raising it Dibs on the rear spoiler and front bumper! lol

Brilliant,though more of the woman would have been nice!

Bump for the day.

My commute is 30 miles each way,iv lived with my Datsun for 18 months and done alot of miles. I usually drive where ever we go at the weekend too,as i enjoy the experience so much. Gone through some consumables,but love it. Though must admit,looking forward to cutting down on the mileage when i move 3 miles from work. Means i can save money and get it looking as i want.

Well if the only car that can challenge Vettel is Webber,then il be happy.

Bugger,sorry guys,but thankyou for your leniency on this occasion. As for my work mates,well,i cant comment,if the car is a championship winner,there is nothing we can do about it.

Moving house in 5 weeks,and sorting out the garage found a few bits people may like. Specteral Blue Ph1 GSI Mk3 Astra spoiler with inner liner. Has 2 clips broken off,but will bond these back on with structural adhesive (3m 9323) looking for £50 ono. Have a set of 17" Kosei Double Racer alloys. These come with spigot rings for a mk3 Astra(4 stud) and went straight on,though they are multistud fitment. Looked pretty darn good. All wheels need a refurb due to damage and kerbing. Have 2 good tyres (Avon ZV3's) and 2 tyres that will need replacing pretty soon. Looking for £100 collected. These wheels are/were not cheap rubbish. A pair of Vauxhall Z18XE cam shafts,totally standard,great to get reprofiled for higher lift. In good condition,came off my mk4 Coupe. £30 Next up a VDO CDR500. Great head unit,was working fine when removed form the car. Good non blingy upgrade,comes with cage and code. £50. Not sure if they are of interest,but have some German Style metal number plates for show use on an Astra SE2 Mk4 coupe. Open to offers around £30 Please get in contact if you are interested in any bits,reasonable offers considered. Parts are located in Brackley Northants,but can take small stuff to Milton Keynes.

Cheers guys,should have got the new one out the garage and had a look,but was being lazy.

Iv searched the guides,and used the search function,but cant seem to find how to remove and replace the retractable cup holder just above the 12v socket on the passenger side. Can anyone help?

What the heck is that sticking out of the beam wing going to the area just under the air exit hole? Looks like some sort of duct,on the Sauber.

Scarbs F1 is a very good source of technical knowledge,and certainly explains what McLaren have gone for over everyone else. Be interesting to see what STR come up with,as i think their side pod idea last season was a pretty good one,and im sure they will be looking to develop on that. Im sorry that the RB8 is not a great looker,but if its as fast as it is ugly,we will be alright! lol

Gsd3 arent fantastic in the wet but the F1a2's are much better. Dry grip IMO couldnt have been better but sometimes different tyres suit different cars and driving styles. All depends on the drive and weight and handling of the car they are on. Thats why i was trying not to preach too,just give experience of what car i had them on. They maybe fine on a Zed,but i did find the wet weather grip alot lower than the Hankook Evo's and the 452's.

Always loved these cars! Id never own one,but what a fantastic car,looks as immaculate as you said too,fair play. Sounds pretty tasty also.

Im sure it wont be long before someone makes one to fit the Karcher,without the price. I agree,they are abit on the expensive side,but its not a huge expense for what it is,well i dont think so. Karcher equipment is never that cheap anyway.

Thought it was 007+009? Wanted to go this year,but moving house took priority. Prodrives effort last year was dire. They left it all too late to develop the car and engine. When during testing the steering wheel breaks due to getting abit wet,and engines blowing up on dynos after a few miles,it was never going to be anything but. Its such a shame,as Aston/Prodrive have a massive following,we both used to work there,so cheer them on when we can. We were in the garage when they decided to retire the 2nd car,and everyone was so frustrated.

Yep,thought it was pretty good,just what you need at this time of year,with all this salt and crap on the roads. Probably only need to use it a couple of times a year,but still good.

Saw in Evo this month that Karcher now do a little trolley thing for sliding under the car to clean it! Great little device,shall be getting one at some point. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Karcher-Backord ... 033&sr=8-1

Sorry,but going to throw a spanner here,i never rated the GSD3 on my Mk4 Astra,and i had a fair few tyres on that,the 452,s probably being the best. I found the GSD's were alright in the dry,but pretty poor in the wet conditions. Admittedly this was on a modest powered Astra Coupe,but found the Hankook Evo's better than the GSD's. Personally,id go for the Hankooks,but then id also trust that someone having had them on a powerful ish RWD car says they are alright,then they are alright.

Possible ABS sensor causing handbrake light etc.

Happy Birthday you McLaren loving dirt bag! Hope you have a great day.

Just wait till you see our version! The Ferrari cant possibly continue to look like that,they will come up with something better,i hope to god! Atleast the Force India has lumps on the outer edges,so you loose the large step look.

Fantastic effort chaps,well done. Bet you cant wait to assemble it all and get it on the road.
