  1. What's the condition of the Anti roll bar drop links ?
  2. hmmm .. kind of strange since you have power ... usually a blown fuse or bad earth would mean no / intermittent power ... are you sure the head unit was working properly prior to installation ?
  3. LoL .. I've seen one of these before .. there's a guy with one on his drive not too far from me ... Very unsightly!
  4. I've only just started doing legs workouts a few months now ... it's really difficult at first because you're not used to the pain .. but after a few weeks it's the same as every other muscle .. you can feel that you've worked them but they don't ache as much ... I was advised by a friend who is a long time bodybuilder that legs are VERY important to your overall muscle growth ... as they are the biggest muscle in your body they produce the most amount of growth hormones after a killer workout ... so working legs can actually make you bigger overall ... I started with light squats and it's amazing how quickly you can improve just by going regualrly and eating right ... I love working abs ... but don't really hammer them until about spring though ... There's no point for me anyway as during the winter months I mainly concentrate on adding weight .. I'm already looking forward to March so that I can introduce more cardio into my workout and getting rid of the excess weight ...
  5. I've been hitting the gym hard this week ... I wasn't able to go over Christmas and New Years due to illness but thankfully I'm feeling back to normal now ... I've been changing my workouts around a bit so that I keep my body guessing ... it's defintely working but takes a lot of time to notice any major improvements ... At the moment I'm splitting my days like: 1.Back & Tri's 2. Legs & Abs 3 Chest & Bi's 4. Day Off 5. Shoulders & Traps 6. Cardio 7. Day Off I used to do chest and tri's but always found that I wasn't able to get a proper work out on my tri's as they were slightly worked out from my chest exercises ... doing bi's means that the muscle is fresh and I can get a lot more out of it .. The main thing without a doubt though .. Is your diet! You can spend all the hours of the day in the gym but if you're not eating right, then you're not going to make the progress and gains you want ...
  6. Hahaha ...
  7. Powerballs are Great fun and also a good forearm workout
  8. I Feel sorry for that guy .. But why is he acelerating so much ? surely when there is no traction you'd want to be in a higher gear ..
  9. I haven't really been using them as I was worried that something like that might happen .... but still can't stop the window trying to go down when I open the door .... my mirrors wouldn't even fold out a few days ago ... I had to help them along a bit ...
  10. As a regular gym go'er I'm constantly looking for new exercises and ways to improve strength ... After spending a Long time searching on the net I found a really useful site with routines and exercises etc ... I've posted the link below for forearm workouts but they cover every muscle group in great detail ... Hope it helps http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exerci ... earms.html
  11. Sorry to hear that mate ... It's pretty damn dangerous on the raods at the moment even without diesel adding to the situation ... Hope it all works out for you ..
  12. Damn .. Sorry to hear that mate .. Hope you're able to repair them ..

    My Beauty!

    The car is looking great! I love the Pearl white colour ... looks like they've done an excellent job.
  14. My head light washers have also seized up due to the cold ... and also having problems with the windows not moving until the car is warmd up too ...
  15. I'm not sure about the double phone adapter but I had an old Nokia style cradle when I purchased my Zed .. After some messing around I found that there were 2 buttons on the sides which you push to remove it ... Once removed you can replace it with a bluetooth dongle as shown in the above post ... Worked a treat for me!
  16. Brilliant ... Love those sorts of videos

    Spacers vid

    Very informative gif ...
  18. LoL ... I had the same problem when I changed from my FTO to my Zed ... thought I would never get used to it as all my previous cars were imports .. but after a month or two i was alright ...
  19. My indicator stalks are on the left also .. and I have a UK Zed. In my experience imports have the indicator stalks on the right-hand side ... I wouldn't worry, just make sure that the insurers are aware that it's a UK Spec Zed ... you'll probably save some money too!
  20. I've had similar problems with online insurance quotes ... especially comparison websites ... Which side are the indicator stalks on your zed?
  21. Hahaha that's too funny!
  22. That rear diffuser looks brilliant! I too would be tempted were it not for the price ... but I understand good quality carbon parts aren't cheap ...
  23. I think he means a single spacer ...
