Yup, agreed, never slam the bonnet, always place on latch and press to close.

 

I may just be looking at it wrong, but it looks like I could get a Lamborghini Murcielago for £75K from over there as opposed to getting one over here for minimum £122K.

Well, I reckon the importing costs from Italy to the US is more compared to importing to the UK, distance and all that jazz....

Welcome to the club, damn I wish we could get away with no numberplates on the front like in the US...

Everybody knows "Sweet Home Alabama" tho (hope it's one of theirs...)

Oh right, nothing for me to see then....

So does this remove the limit of 151mph or what does this gizmo do? (sry if it's a silly question)

When the slip light comes on, it means your traction is 'sliping', when the ESP light comes on too, it means that the traction control has kicked in to help out

Thats the new estate version they're developing for Sarnie so he can get his extended family in the back.

...a family of Oompah-Loompahs?

Oh and whatever setup you go for, try to get a setup that has pillowball mounts, so you can adjust the camber according to your ride height.

Welcome to the forum.

Personally, I'd stay away from lowering springs only.

From my own experience, you'll only wear out the stock shocks faster, because they are manufactured to be used with the factory springs.

Sure they will work with lowering springs, but you'll have to change the stock items sooner rather than later due to the usage.

Save up your pennies and get either a full suspension setup or coilover system, Tein setups have my seal of approval, had a set of Tein coilovers on my previous car (Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC JDM)

Mine is due in March. My only worry is will it get on the brake tester as it's stinking low!

 

Wont need to go on the break tester

Had my MOT done this month and the MOT tester said thay don't use the brake tester on this car and have to brake test it on the road (forgot why...something about the LSD, not sure....)

Well all ended up ok at least.

Congrats on the new car btw.

If it was me, I'd have driven the car back to the dealer and tossed the carkeys onto the table demanding the money back, you should see how fast people work after that, lol

Top Secret, Greddy and VeilSide have the same gearknob design it seems....

I've had a Karcher for about 4 years with the vario lance and no problems.

Personally I celebrate both.

And most Hong Kong people celebrate both too, as well as the UK born ones

Sounds like a good idea and I'm not on shift that day either.

Also a good chance to go thru the Dartford Tunnel on the way back, hehe

Gung Hei fat choi, sun leen fai lock (Yup, chinese myself too)

well you see i've never modded a car before. so i think i should buy afew little bits and bobs for this one.

Famous last words, and of course we're not a bad influence.

Yup, my mate and I were washing our Zeds when I caught him saying

"I need a new front bumper..."

Hehe, yeah, it's like bragging rights in the US if you can say

"I can drive stick..."

Yeah, nice, keep us posted about what Hangar 111 have to say.

A bit about it on here.

So basically, it's a load of cobblers then, thanks martin

May have been me rtbiscuit, if you can confirm a chinese with a big grin behind the wheel, lol

My mate is gonna give Nissan in Bury St.Edmunds a try.

He too lives in Ipswich and has the dreaded axle clicking prob.

After calling Glyn Hopkins Ipswich, they gave him the "Oh, really....never heard of that....lemme check..." bullshit.

He then phoned up Nissan Bury St.Edmunds (he works in Bury) and they said

"Yeah, we've had one in before and we know what to do" and seemed more helpful in general.

I'll see how he gets on with them and might even consider using them myself for servicing if all goes well.

It seems quite believable, especially when people were watching "Gone In Sixty Seconds", (the Nicholas Cage version)

But I'm sure that since then, technology has advanced quite abit.

I have a Clifford CAT1 alarm on my Honda that was installed 7 years ago, and with every press of the button it changes the frequency it transmits (Clifford called "Anti-Grabbing Technology).

I'm pretty sure that nowadays, this sort of tech should be the norm, but of course I can be wrong.

Well, if Nissan fit it, it would be better for re-sale rather than having a non Nissan garage install an engine of unknown origin, whether low mileage or not

I resign myself to praying alot....
