  1. I know where to get some more now then There is a custom alarmsystem with my valve caps..........me with baseball bat in hand...waiting
  2. I went to a NDIC- National Driver Improvement Course, which cost me £190 and the date was imposed on me, so I had to take time off work. It was the aftermath of a car accident, even when all the insurance companys agreed it wasn't my fault. I was accused of possibly driving without due care or attention. It was either go on the course and avoid points and fine or not go on the course, go to court and see how it would go and then possibly pay a fine, court costs and get points on the license. Anyways, I went on the course and it was actually quite good. It was part classroom and part on the road. On the road bit was fun actually, the instructor gave us challenges, like driving through a village with no stopping and only one gear change allowed. Failure to comply would be punished by taking one item off my breakfast plate (yes the instructor bought me brekkie, lol) The course basically taught me more road awareness (had to drive whilst giving spoken commentary on everything I was doing and what I saw), taught me more about road positioning (position yourself in a manner that allows you the best view especially around corners), taught me how to manipulate traffic by way of positioning of the vehicle on the road. All in all I thought I took away some useful stuff.
  3. That's why my Volk/Rays valve caps don't go on the car, got some cheap alloy ones from my local tyre fitters for free. Volk/Rays valve caps will only go on for shows and meets
  4. I don't want to sound like a total dick, but I took a look at the pics you took pre-install viewtopic.php?f=27&t=22643 Personally, I was expecting most of the framework to be shaven or trimmed in some way. But, you have to think about why the cubby ends where it ends and why there is an overlap between the F500BT and the cubby frame. Parts are made to fit a certain space, hence why some modders are asking what size screen would best fit the cubby space. Also it was a cubby supplied by yourself and with that you asked them to fit the F500BT with your supplied cubby, and in doing so basically allowed them to try and fit by any means neccesary. They tried, failed and then fitted the F500BT the best way they saw fit without using your supplied cubby. Yes, you should have checked the cubbys condition before you left the premises, but I am guessing you didn't. Whatever happens with the cubby afterwards, whether you chuck it in the bin or try to sell it to recoup funds does not fall into the fitters responsibility once you left the shop. I'm not trying to take the mick, just saying what I think about what I see. I don't know hoe butchered the retractable cubby is, but if it was me, I'd have alook and see how the F500BT is currently fitted, then possibly cut the retainig section off and match the cut on the retractable cubbly, then plastic weld the two pars together and file smooth the joins. Like I said, I'm not trying to take the mick, merely trying to help make the best out of a bad situation.
  5. Damn, got dayshifts on that weekend...
  6. Oh, now there's an idea! So I'll need an inflatable pool, mud, attention seeking girl models, lots of photographers and SuperSoakers for bystanders. I will volunteer myself for the dangerous task of climbing into the mud filled pool with the girls...
  7. I thought we probably would, GTROC better get polishing then guys, make sure we outshine them I can bring a bucket of mud to reduce the shine on their cars...
  8. Well, if you consider that Nissan Dealers want £198 for a genuine 350Z gearknob.....
  9. I've heard these guys do good work Marine & Auto Electrics Elton Park Business Centre Hadleigh Rd Ipswich Suffolk IP2 0DD Tel: 01473 289107
  10. ROFL!!! Didn't think I was gonna get the whole thing. Just for those who are wondering MJP sell these genuine nets brand new for £40, so coop is selling cheap
  11. You might get lucky and they'll send you some 20" GT-R wheels instead
  12. I'm more interested in the "Chilli Sauce" recipe in the second pic 60g of Caster Sugar 3 peeled Garlic Cloves ...what else?!?!?!?!?
  13. Took a little video at the last Envy Mod Day (hope the Chillis don't mind me posting) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rVLjayMK30
  14. Looking good there coop, can we have some MORE pics?
  15. £75 can buy me at least the Nismo Gearknob CF version...
  16. Saw it in GAME for £75, was attracted, but then thought to myself how long would I actually play it for. Walked away.
  17. Go back and ask them what fascia they used. I'm sure alot of peeps on here would be grateful.
  18. ah.... still don't think it's the grounding kit points tho, because I used yours as a guide and I've not had a bleeping mishap yet...
  19. Still got my original 2G iPhone (which came from Hawaii due to eBay) and still happy with it. Does what I need it to do, don't need any new bells and whistles just yet.
  20. Nice that you have traced the root of your dilemma. Now with the lights working again, do you reckon that if you put the horn fuse back in, that it might work properly?
  21. Get yourself to the Modified Live show this Sunday at Brands Hatch, then you can see different exhausts and listen to them too. One of the traders, Chilli Red will be there also so you can pick her brains about stuff also. viewtopic.php?t=23867&f=57
  22. Yeah, but if Jerry is anything like me, then he'll not want anything other than a Takata harness
  23. There is CF, it's the centre caps. I must need batteries in my glasses, if I had glasses, so there is. I mean silly thinking that there wouldn't be any cf, considering it's you. The only reason he bought them was for the CF centre caps Damn right!!!, without CF caps they'd be plain ugly Washed car today and used some Rimwax on the Volks. Was very pleased how easy it was to apply and buff off (used Megs Foam Applicator and microfibre cloth)
  24. Fair enough, I was rather puzzeled whilst trying to help fitting the harnesses after fitting the bar.
