I would never buy an Alfa to put 100k on it. Friend of a Friend took delivery of one. Less than a mile of driving "catastrophic engine damage" was done. Plus that 1 series is pretty good looking. Alfas are also fwd.

You got a guide on how to do this?

Boo How come it was costing so much to run?

As above really. Rules : 1. Pop vids only 2. No chat with out a video 3. No moaning or oh this isnt music here is *whatever* If the mods could moderator this thread with the rules above that would be great, or turn the spam bot on them. So I'l just drop these 2 right here

^^ Couple of rang ane's. The NSX even the old ones are a thing of sheer beauty. That new one is vile.

650i with LPG. Hero spec right thurr.

Copied from another forum and not strictly relevant but its still true. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100... If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this... The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3. The seventh would pay £7.. The eighth would pay £12. The ninth would pay £18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay £59. So, that's what they decided to do.. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by £20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay. And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid £2 instead of £3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid £5 instead of £7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid £9 instead of £12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid £14 instead of £18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid £49 instead of £59 (16% saving). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a pound out of the £20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a pound too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!" "That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10 back, when I got only £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore.

Very nice mate, Just shows its worth traveling for the right car. Enjoy

much as I'm now 30 you've spent the last 2 weeks convincing me to get a merc with wood interior! A mercedes is different I actually had the chance to sell my car and take a merc, but I like driving both. When I cant be bothered driving or when its really cold and wet the 350z is a pain TBH. After a 16 hour shift I want to sit in a car and whisk me home. When its a cracker of a day I love the 350z But Merc and BMW over jag, volvo, saab or audi any day of the week IMO. WOOD FTW!

Dude why do you want a Jag when your under 25?

35% of how ever million of members they have. I'm not saying this is right but in India the second biggest employer in the world Indian railways dealt with a strike. They just fired everyone. Coldel are you looking at it from an employers view though. Public sector jobs should still be something people want to do but personally if I wasn't getting paid enough. I wouldn't strike I would just look for a better paid job?

Sorry officer I was playing angry birds and I got so angry trying to kill them stupid pigs

I think an iPod in between the spokes of the steering wheel at the top. I used to do this with my old phone and car to use the sat nav. Worked perfectly.

Alot sharper and the car is more nimble. IMO.

My car is lowered and I run rays. I have adjustable front and rear arms just so I can put everything into spec. My arms give 2.5degrees of movement I'm sure. There is also superpro bushes which can change your camber I think.

Is your car lowered?

Yes I know Installation is much easier on manuals. On an auto the whole front end needs taken off so you can get an impact wrench in there. Needed a puller too. But it wasn't that bad I suppose. Manuals can be cranked with a bar lodged in place and you can lock the crank by putting it in 6th. The pulleys also look great compared to the old ones and the feel like they are made to last.

Not sure you seen my last post,ive bought the kestral just waiting for delivery,but need pads,does it use the same as the g220? Thanks Yes, try the microfibre megs system if your new or check i4detailing for pads

I applaud your desire to be different, there can't be many Zed shoppers on the look-out for a car WITHOUT Rays I prefer the look of the standard wheels to the Rays tbh though of course Rays are lighter etc. Still think the standard look better though! +1 I think the rays look pretty rubbish. BUT when I put them on the benefits of the lightweight wheels really come out. So much so Im prepared to have an uglier car that drives better. I'd maybe only ever buy lightweight wheels now as they are worth it. Its a shame the normal wheels weren't forged though I think they suited the car.

I fitted the AMS pulleys to my car last week. Now I have an auto so it may differ from your car and installation was much harder than if you had a manual. The AMS kit comes with 3 pulleys. Crank, Alternator and Idler. So after ages of fitting them finally put everything back together and started it up. No belt squeal which I had before for about 3-4seconds. Blipped the throttle nothing really changed. Everything was the exact same. Alternator was charging how it should have been as it is only lightweight and not under driven. So got out of my drive way not expecting much but WOW! big difference! The throttle is so so so much lighter and responsive. Its like the engine just wants to rev now . The rev needle climbs very quickly now. Between 1-2krpm it takes away that sluggish and lethargic feeling. Now it feels perky and alive. It can catch you out if you aren't careful. Just driving normal there is still a difference less pedal pressure is needed to accelerate and it does it with less effort, making the car feel even more powerful and torquey. Because the throttle is much more responsive it makes the car feel lighter. I know it inst but it feels more sprightly it takes away that slight delay before the car goes. You also have more control over the throttle now as it feels less "all or nothing". I find it more enjoyable driving day to day. I don't really think this mod has a downside really. Decats give you more power but usually higher up the rev range and a spacer gives you more mid range but honestly I feel like this has made the biggest difference. Usually to feel mods you need to really drive the car so on a b road blast you can feel this or tell its doing that but with the pulleys they just work and from low rpm which is great. The old OEM stock pulley was very heavy compared to this one. Like 10-20 times the weight. The ALT pulley is tiny but the new pulley is slightly lighter. I also removed the top idler pulley as it does nothing and I run the same belt as a Rev up but my car is an 03. But with the kit you can change this to a lightweight pulley. So basically I really rate this mod. It makes a big difference even going 60-70mph but not accelerating hard. Day to day driving is nicer and it makes the car more responsive. I havent drove a 350 with a throttle controller but I have other cars and it feels similar to them but this is a real gain. About the same cost too if I remember right. Doesnt really come with any downsides TBH. One thing is I dont think you seem to gain anything above 4-4.5krpm though. Also "gain" is the wrong word as it cant really be measured on a dyno but the engine is spinning alot less weight and less drag and it feels great now. IMO I would put this next to plenum spacer.

+1 yes its nice, but if they keep doing what they do 1. they will tarnish or ruin that shape as we will be sick of it 2. it gives customers nothing to upgrade to unlike lets say a 911 which is refreshed every few years and has a solid upgrade base too

When I saw the title I was expecting something like all the big popular boys where smoking. I tried it due to peer pressure, it was pure boggin.

On eBay now LINK It is currently sitting at 99p and it has less than 17 hours to go. You most likely will get a bargain.
