I didn't look too closely as I was in a hurry, but it looked quite straight, paint needed some TLC. I will take a closer look when I pass there again.

Spotted this when filling up with gas today in Portsmouth, Eastern road Texaco. Scary how cheap they are getting

What about the other extreme? I think its been asked before but what's the lowest figure seen on the display?

I always know when MPG is slipping below 20, I get an annoying whining noise in my left ear followed short sharp pain in my left side .

Love you Kat x

I had 4 fitted a couple of months back and found grip very much improved, as a result I think that, when I'm in the mood, I actually push harder than before I and have felt some slight pogo-ing. As if there isn't enough rebound damping. I dont think its my suspension, I think its the tyres, but as I say, it could be because im loading the sidewalls more round the bends.

Overall though I'm very happy with them. They also make nice squealing noises

This could be interesting, it just depends if it fits around my silly shift pattern and moving house at some point in the next few weeks. Please count me as provisionally 'in'.

.....what if she points out a girl with a really nice mini?

Cheers, I think they dialled some toe out when they were doing tracking/alignment.

I finally found some cash to do a few things to the Z, last week i had a Scorpion pipe fitted at my Dads garage. While it was up on the ramp I noticed the inner side of the front nearside tyre was badly worn and when i looked closer there was an actual gash about an inch long . Needles to say I mostly used the bike this week whilst waiting for the tyres I ordered to turn up. Turned up yesterday and I got one of my Dads lads to fit them for me, 4 lovely looking Vredestien Ultrac Sessantas . They also checked and adjusted the tracking and alignment.

I havn't driven that far on them yet but I can report so far that turn in seems much more positive and rapid, and road noise seems reduced. I'm looking forward to a 'spirited' dive soon to asses grip.

Its a good thing to get the car up on a ramp or similar now and again i guess, 'cos id never have seen the damage to the tyre otherwise.

the damage...

New lovelyness...

awww arnt Ruskies lovely

So annoying I had to say it 3 times?

Yes, Americanisims can be tedious.....

Thanks BulletMagnet, do you know the name of the company or a supplier?

A while back i was filling up with gas when i heard screeching, an old fella had somehow wedged his foot fully down on the gas pedal in reverse gear and was swooping around in a big arc across the forecourt. I managed to step out of his way before he ploughed into some innocent womans car. Certainly woke me up a bit

Me next in the queue for spacers please

Sorry to hi-jack this thread, but what bumper is that in the pic?

Very sorry, cant get tonight off work now, so we wont make it. Have a good meet...

Welcome buddy, excellent name there...

Kat had a Hyundi 'Pony' X2 when i met her.....She was obviously ahead of the game with the '50 shades of grey' masochism thing

They must have a random word generator for their ebay ads Same theory as 'an infanite number of monkeys with an infinate number of typewriters......'

Remember this pile of shite? Suzuki X90, cunningly combining the dissadvantages of 2seaters (only one passanger) and small 4x4s (shite to drive on the road) with no advantages at all

I always imagined poished Rays would look completely trashy.......I was wrong! I really like them, I think they would look good on black cars too. Very SoCal.

And me! I left it to the last 10 secs, was outbid, then i couldn't press buttons quick enough to get another bid in...shazbut!!

Thanks for that , but what happens if you run standard links when car is lowered?

So, I need drop links i think, as i've been getting that creaking noise particulally when first setting off from cold. My question is- I intend to lower the car with Tein or Eibach springs, do i need to get adjustable drop links or will the standard type be ok?

I did spends ages with the search button but I couldnt get a definate answer to my question...

Cheers.
