  1. lol this wasnt a kitted car. Wasnt looking to healthy either. After 1 bash on a rear quarter, you'd think the owner would behave and not risk doing more damage to it lol
  2. did it have a japspeed k2 ? Whoever was driving it was lucky tcs was on as they accelerated ,in very wet conditions, very harshly. Maybe just to look cool but looked very uncontrollable until the tcs saved the day

    Regulator?

    i've never heard of the zeds having this issue. My reckoning is that its something that has been done with the stereo which has caused it. Drop Zmanalex a message as he will be able to give a very good diagnosis without even being in the same country
  4. Speak to sarnie, he's our in house mortgage guru. He may be able to help you keep both Don't LPG convert a zed lol

    Was the aftermarket stereo recently fitted? Stick an introduction up in the introductions section. Will help people get to know you and be more willing to help out.
  7. You have a txt in a minute Craig.
  8. OU05 **X Spotted with a damage left hand wing and then went sideways coming round a junction...then traction control saved the day. Loud exhaust too, probs japspeed k2 by sound of it.
  9. It would take you six months anyway Aye aye, I'm a once a day man. If i leave it more than two I start to look like Frankie Boyle What you talking bout Neily - you have barren cheeks. A walk in the wind is a shave for you Lmao listen old yin ! Where f*ck have you been hiding ????

  12. you need to run the cold pressures lower as the tyre heat up the pressure climbs and the tyres ballon in the middle. Running higher pressures for sidewall strength doesnt work as it will cause the tyre to ballon; if your only doing 3 laps runs knock around 2 psi from the rear around 1 psi from the front, any more laps than that may be 3/4 psi removed from cold tyre pressure's The tyre will only balloon at high speed. When cornering the weight shift exerts more strain on the sidewall as the loads and forces increase. 1st thing about pressure is that it exerts force evenly. If you increase the tyre pressure then to some degree will increase the stability of the side and stop it folding with the extra weight shifting onto it. 1psi more isn't going to cause ballooning when cornering at lower speeds. Why only remove 1psi from front and 2 from rear ? From my experience the fronts gain more pressure as they have a greater friction when cornering therefore more heat. Save all the hassle and fill with oxygen free nitrogen..... Kwik fit will do it for a quid a tyre if you don't have the equipment yourself.
  13. I can't as it's my birthday next week and my work won't allow me to walk around the sites looking like a paedo

    Side skirt issues

    Make sure you have confirmation of collection etc incase they come up with a story. Hopefully it gets sorted easily and the cash is back in your wallet before too long.
  16. Re040's are junk in cold and wet weather. I have set of re040 fronts for sale with 6mm or something(can't remember now and can't be bothered looking) for much much less.. Bit of a blunder there but live and learn. Don't put them on the rear. Well the fronts to someone and fit Fk452's. There was a reason you got a "good" deal I'm afraid. As I have learned previously. If you see a good deal, ask on here first as I have made a few blunders only to be corrected after forking out the cash.
  17. 452's are like t1r's melt very easy. Won't last long on track. Best dry track tyre is re040's. Very grippy once got and hard as hell to wear. 452's and t1r's are better suited to wet days. Are you running 18's or 19's mate. If 18's then as ekona said runner higher pressure as the sidewalls may get it bad. They're pretty soft in comparison to oem spec tyres They are 19" mate. Ideally looking at around 35psi warm pressure but depending how long your on track and how much heat your creating will reflect on how much you will need to deflate them and reinflate. Start at 35 cold and check them after a run. If they're too hard you will wear the centres quicker. Keeps the side getting the most abuse a little higher by 1 or 2 psi.
  18. epicepicepic!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong. " Enough to bring a tear to your eye my favourite film of all time... love the chewing tobacco on the fairground rides and also the baseball cap with the masssssivve skip on it haha... "The Great Bambino"
  19. Sandlot Kids (1st one) Young kids hit baseballs into a yard with a devil dog...
  20. your t1rs looked as if they had been through a fire by the end of that session..... mines only lasted 1 session and i killed them
