  1. ok, I have nought my stereo upgrade and every cable that JVC ever made to mate to the Bose and steering wheel and the bloody ariel. A thought is worrying at my excitement..... How do I plug the SAT NAV in ? That is for the voice instructions to come through the speakers. kinda hoping they go direct to the amp. Too much to ask I know..... Any advice ? Anyone installed a reversing camera ? is it worth it? Havent bought one but it's an option on the connections.
  2. Just drove from Bridgwater to Doncaster and not one of you were out ! thought I would have seen someone, ah well. Will keep an eye open tomorrow on the way back
  3. Ladies and Gentlemen may I present...... Biggles !

    Got a new camera

    Use the rpair tool on the flare in the clouds. Sample 'clean' cloud to repair the flare away. Use a faily small brush. As for the brake light, select using magic wand and decrease the brightness. Not too much or the surrounding area will go out of range. have fun :-)

    nothing to split Nikon and Canon realy. Nikon glass is very nice / canon focus is faster. NOTE variation between are bugger all. The most important thing is which fits you best. I use canon and used a1D when pro - a while a go now - but now use a 40D which, franly is almost as good. There has been 7 yrs development between purchases here.... Have fun, tune yourself then your kit. As a good cover all collection of lenses: 10 - 22 35 - 104 70 - 200 Thats what I use. The 70 - 200 is a f2:8 full frame model so x by 1.4. Even bigger !! Good way to save cash on a 300f2:8 that Did you HDR these shots ? Interested to know settings n stuff. Keep going, you have the eye

  8. I was backstage at the High Voltage festival couple of months back. Mike portnoys drum kit is very pretty close up A couple of pix of my fave Bass. It's a Warwick Streamer in custom finish. NICE. I have a Warwick $$ and a Washburn NT too but hardly touch them since getting the streamer
  9. The ZED is my only car, so I drive it every day. Aint that what they are for ? It does help I work 2 miles away........ But I agree, a silly smile every day. When I,m not driving it I'm thinking about driving it....might pop up to north wales this weekend love,ok?......
  10. I have a couple of BRIEL's. About £3 -400. Nicely weighted. Quite fancy a TAG but big bucks for the nice ones as you have found out.... Citezen ECO Drives are cool too. Depends on what style you like. A seamaster of course is the tops...... so is the price
  11. Does this integrate with the steering wheel controls too ?
  12. I chopped my insurance half way throught he year. Most expensive way but hey what can yer do ? I had paid 330 for the civic and had to pay a further 280 to cover the Z. I am mid forties with one year NCD. So not too bad for a rag top. Insurance companies get huffy about ease of theft from a car you can open with a knife.....
  13. But whats so special about it ? Why is it different ? What would happen if I used modelling clay? Would my Zed look like a 6th formers tea cup ? A relief map of Niagra falls ? Just curious thats all..........
  14. Clay bar......mmmmm...nothing like modelling clay then ?????? Super squidgy soft and CHEAP ?
  15. Shiny aint it ! Took us 14 man/hrs and a bucket of maguires to get that shine :-)
  16. some photo's would help....
  17. My Missus is selling her Nissan. We love the thing but she has bought a camper van and has gone hippy bonkers. I will post a photo, you wont believe what she's done... Anyway, heres the ad folks: 55,200 miles, Nissan Navara Aventura Double Cab in Metallic Storm Grey. I have had this vehicle since 6 months old and it was an ex demonstrator - so it has absolutely all the bells and whistles going. Heated leather seats (front) , electric seats (front) - Active Front Headrest system - Climate Control - Cruise Control - Full Airbag System - Leather rear seats (including jump seat) fully activated and voice activated sat nav (does traffic updates and re-routes - no subscription) -voice activated blue tooth, electric sunroof, electric door mirrors, front fog lamps - keyless entry with anti hijack function - Nissan Immobiliser - Privacy Glass - Side Steps - Trip Computer - pas, reversing sensors, alloy wheels, 6 cd changer, nissan rear load liner, covered back cab, compass, autodim rear view mirror. The only thing it does not have is a tow bar (it has never towed anything!). It has low mileage as has mainly been used for a little motorway commuting and dog transportation. It has not been used as a 'works vehicle' and has been driven by one lady owner. It has never been off road! Fuel economy is fantastic - I regularly get over 40mpg on motorway runs - the average is about 33mpg up into the hills. Bodywork has some surface scratches (not many). Full service history. Taxed until end Jan 2011. MOT good until June 2011. First registered July 2005 SO QUALIFIES FOR CHEAP ROAD TAX Genuine reason for sale (bought a camper van). Get ready for winter and buy this lovely 4-4! £11,000 No canvassers or agencies.
  18. soooo tempted but reading the mod posts it seems they need a mod into the engine management system to block out the failure light when using decats. I'm way out of pocket miney at the moment having just bought the Z so not at the moment, sorry. Thanks for the advice though. Hope you get a quick sale
  19. After fitting these, what's the next logical step ? Don't want to end up changing my mind as you did. What are you doing instead ? Do you take paypal ?
  20. The lambda just plugs straight into the threaded port on the side ?
  21. As a complete newbie: What diffences did you notice using these ? Will they fit my 06 face lift model? Will I need a grown up to fit them ?
  22. as a complete newbie. What gains did you see using these ? Will they fit my 06 face lift ? How much grief and screaming to get on? Will I need a grown up?
