  5. I'm not planning on being in any state to drive haha. I now have 4 litres of jack d single barrel accompanying me haha. Depending how I feel in the morning I might have a spin to test out my new nitrous install
  6. I was there last year. It was the best holiday ive ever been on. Stayed in playa dorada in the bluebay villas. The staff are very very nice. The locals are pretty friendly. Go to paradise island, oceanworld (royal dolphin swim is amazing. It's a one on one with a dolphin and trainer) climbing the water falls was amazing(take coral shoes) coco bongos is pretty good and so is the casino. We done the trip into the mountains and it was amazing. Stopped of at local farms for food and the pasta, chicken and rice was amazing. The food was absolutely amazing. Not one complaint about it. I'll post a video up later of me watching lightning and it strikes the hotel. I was sitting with a towel round me after a shower on the balcony. Shat myself big time. Went blind with the flash and deaf with the noise. Very very scary but very amazing to see

  9. I think jetset and octet are Among my favourites. 1st place goes to chilli red
  10. It's very easy, wheel off, two clips that hold retaiining pins in, hold one side of the retaining spring plate and push one of the pins out, remove silver spring plate, other pin out. Open fluid reservoir with rags around to catch any fluid over-spill. Push pistons back if required to remove old pads, new pads with slither of copper grease on the back and edges, put them in, replace one pin, spring plate back in, other pin, put the two clips in and job done. That's is the basic procedure for the brembo's
  11. It takes about 1.5hours to change the lot if you don't know what you're doing. Cs does the yellowstuff for a very good price. Also brakes4u. Yellowstuff are great value for money

    What RPM?

    Alright stuarty. After speaking with you the other day a thread cam up by someone else with regards to something similar but more extreme. They were getting popping/knocking etc. Usually about 700rpm is perfect, most people find running the air con helps smooth it out. Mines idles at around 800-900rpm due to the decats etc I think.

    There is so many thing which contribute to the cars handling characteristics. I gave stuarty a shot of my car. Although my car is tuned etc the biggest difference was they feel of the drive he said. My car feels very nimble and agile whereas when I drove his it feels like a true grand tourer- very comfortable, very smooth and not a harsh ride. The steering felt a fair bit heavier also. My car feels the way it feels as I've changed the wheel alignment and ride height and dampening and compression of the shockers. Stuarty will be better at explaining the difference as his car is the first I've drove which is standard. His car is beautiful and so smooth, a perfect example whereas mines definately feels like it should be on a track somewhere.

    Would they fit onto the v1? Even if there's no improvement in handling I still love them a they look brilliant.
  21. I had this with my netgear virgin media super hub. I actually think it's the laptop network card as my phone still works but the laptop won't even pick up the router at all. I then have to reset the router before the laptop will pick up a signal. How easy is it to change the network card in the laptop ?

    lol I just seen I made a fatal spelling mistake due to iPhone predictive, it should I've said the splitter will make no difference. Lol Ian what canards did you have? Ive was hunting down some for the nismo v1 bumper but abbey advised I'd be wasting my time unless the suspension set up was very very hard so I got quite an aggressive toe set up and the turn in is very very sharp. Feels much better. Running 2.8 degree negative camber on front aswell. Very impressed with it.

    I think the quality of the road surface has a lot to do with it. The allotted will make no difference unless it has very aggressive huge canards attached to it. You would need to upgrade all suspension, antiroll bars and fit wings etc. Alex's car demonstrates exactly what could be done with the rag top. His car feels planted at any speed. I suspect that if you done that speed on track your car would feel smooth as the surfaces are very different to everyday "private roads"
  24. With a couple of changes to suspension and wheel alignment I reckon the 370z could be up top. When on track with George the 370z looks very very soft in corners which I think is it's only downfall to be honest.
