Some impressive control skills there by urself and the pink s2k mate. I have a similar opinion of Jay, this doesnt push my buttons as much as proper racing but I can appreciate the buzz you get from it. Looks like a couple of your mates could do with some lessons in drifting and donuting though

No matter what decat or HFCs you use you will always get the hiss mate so no point in changing them

You'll get used to the hiss and learn to love it mate! Get a louder exhaust and you won't hear it as much.

I couldn't live without my piano! Perfect way to escape the world... Little bit of Chopin, Debussy and Liszt

If I hadn't just bought an m5 I would have snapped that up at that price. Need to wait till after crimbo now. I can still get a hold of one new for about 2300 dollars so a bit more once here by still not too bad! The 350 is sitting in pieces at the momet

Cheers Ian ... Drrrooooll that's the baby!

Well we have - 400 watt Amp running the front 2 Alpine speakers via a crossover so the tweeters as well 400 watt Amp running the rear 2 Alpine speakers 700 watt mono block Amp running the 10" Sony Explode Sub (filtered for base only) 600 watt Amp running the 2 Vibe 10" speakers filtered for midrange and base The head unit has seperate RCA output for Sub control and full balance and base frequency selection, take all that and the fact that from the back of the sub box to the front speakers is about 4' you can get it to sound how you want - It was built for Kim and she wanted loud clear music not "MAD" base it starts to hurt your ears above half volume and the sound quality is awesome Having said that I know nothing about ICE other than what I have been researching over the last week or 2 on the web and all the stuff was either eBay cheap local auctions or bits I had laying around or already fitted to the car I think it came out quite well At the end of the day she is very happy and it's louder than Bob's and that's all that matters You mean the dark Zed on the wall in the garage? Welcome down for an ICE Install mate Your supposed to sponsor me Bob I have two sony xplod 12" 1200w subs if you want them and a nice kenwood amp. I managed to give myself a nosebleed when I was younger with these Neil - Shut up! Bob - No Chris - I said No!! Sorry Netti Chris are you wanting yours to be louder than Bobs? I have two very nice 1200w subs sitting you could have at a friends price

LMAO

All the best big man! Hope u have had a great day !

Naughty book for u boys tonight!

I think that's quite cool but still a little ugly. I like it though

Paul, What happened to B? It goes a,c,d ? Lol

hahaha I love reading your work Paul! Once again- a sterling performance!

wee bump

Big +1. Ive realised that there is no longer a point in the day when im not online. If im watching TV, im on my laptop, If im on the toilet, im on the iPad If im in a queue waiting to buy something, im on my phone +1 +2 currently on the jon at the moment lol

Proud of you mate He's only doing it as I bought the m5, so he needs something quicker lmao

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you mate

+1 I very nearly got one of these instead of my 123d as they were cheaper! But figured I may as well have kept my zed if I was going to get another gas guzzler. Amazing cars for the money.. the engine noise, the power... esp when you think how much they cost new!!! yep you can get the older ones now for very cheap. Very fortunate as I probs paid less than the 123 as my bro took about a 15k hit on it to sell me it lol

Well Just a wee relight of this thread! The goliath labs protein was stinking.. couldnt drink it and tasted like milky mouldy strawberrys getting sucked through a sweaty workmans sock! I then went back to try and get my usual BSN syntha 6 but due to the disaster in american the shipments have been delayed so now i'm using Kinetica whey protein http://www.999supplements.com/protein/KS1009.html Details : Combining high-quality Whey Protein, essential peptides and amino acids, and the digestive enzyme Aminogen®, our Whey Protein supplements have been precisely developed to replenish your body’s amino acid levels and support lean muscle growth and recovery.

The Taste is pretty good to be honest. Its a very "clean " natural protein and very highly though of in the bodybuilding industry. I've cut back to 3 shakes a day as I'm currently eating alot more due to bulking for the winter. Bulking will last to April and then I will start cutting for the summer. Seeing massive gains in strength due to diet change. Basic weights I'm lifting now. Incline bench 44kg-46kg dumbells, flat 50kg dumbells, 26kg bicep curls, 30kg hammer curls, tricep push down 45-47.5kg angled bar 37.5 with ropes, 85-90kg close grip bench, dips (bodyweight plus 20kg dumbell) 120kg total, 95kg lat pull down- widegrip, 80kg closegrip, shrugs 130kg bar 50kg dumbells. I'm doing a lot more than these but this is just my main muscle workouts. Obviously this isnt in the one night. I train one muscle group per night. Each exercise is generally 5 sets all in(ie 4-5 exercises to cover different parts of the muscle group so say about 25 sets all in) , 2 warm up at a lighter weight 12 reps then 3 heavy sets for 7-9 reps. Very happy with my progress over the last few months In conclusion don't buy Goliath labs protein. Secondly the Hemo Rage pre-workout wasn't strong enough for me. I found myself using 3 scoops and then at the end of the workout I was having a very bad comedown and feeling very ill. I sold this to my friend who enjoys it and thinks its too strong for him @the recommended intake levels. I'm now back using Kronic Pump and find this is the best stuff for me at the moment.

Are you aware of just how little profit a garage makes from the petrol? It will generally cost more to fix a single pump than they'll lose in revenue over a month. supermarkets make a bit more profit than a privately owned station though. For me I use v-power as my new ecu was mapped on it and does not like anything less than 99. V-power is probably the cheapest 99ron fuel up here anyway so I'm happy to bash in with that. The closest tesco is miles away and bp and esso only provide 97ron

I'm sure you are right Neil....I'll see how I get on and if necessary pursue the ultimate option (Rays/MPSS). I ran out of budget this year and the 17s with nearly new tyres on only cost me £165...so it seems worth a try. yeah it all down to how you like the car at the end of the day. For me I've never tried 17's but the oem 18's felt terrible on her, but saying that it was with re040's on them. Personally my favourite wheels are the 19" nismo's for road. They feel almost the exact same as the 18" rays. On track though I like the little bit of roll the 40 profile on the r888's gives. Its a little bit of give before the tyres let go lol. At the end of the day its all down to personal preference and budget. I have cheaper tyres on my road wheels and i've been very impressed with them. I did months of research on other forums and found great reviews so went with them. I actually find them better than the re050a's and the p-zero rosso's I had which were double the price. Hope you get it all sorted out though and find a happy set up.

Good to know Stuart will keep them in mind when I pick up the M5. Whats the rough prices up there?

Re050's are a very hard tyre also. Maybe try rays with the likes of pilot supersports or something. I'm pretty sure you will this a much more pleasant drive and experience also.

Yawn. really? Do you not think for 400 quid rays would have been the better choice aesthetically and mechanically? Considering the rays I saw for £400 on this forum had 4mm left on the tyres, the paint was bubbling and had 3 different brand of tyres then no! If the 2 "wrong" size tyres cause a problem then they can be sold as almost new and spend a couple quid on the right size. Anything looks better than standard 17" wheels. If they look crap then I know not to sell them on here! The last set I bought cost 250 quid. Just because they're advertised at those prices doesnt mean that they are selling for that price.

Bad dinner? Personally don't like them and tyres are, well, not exactly the best. End of the day if you like them that's what counts. Nope had an awesome curry. I'm just struggling to see what makes these a bargain? The nearly new tyres are fantastic. But completely the wrong size. The TC light is going to be flickering like christmas tree lights. Not much of a bargain when you have to buy a new set of 19 inch tyres in the correct sizes. They don't look nice (imo) and probably weigh a tonne. Spot on my man! Same thinking as I
