The Bounty Bar Kid

For front bumper and skirts alone, >£2k, or at least that's what Chris got them for me a couple of months back. Still sitting in box waiting to be fitted though Are replicas available good fitting ones? Otherwise Nismo it is.

I've got no idea of the cost of one of these kits. What's the ball park figure I'm looking at???

Well food went well. I got stuffed. However I'm back to work today, but I'm off tomorrow! Woo hoo! Turkey was only for 11 people. Hence why so small.

So I've just woken up and I have a real urge to wash my zed. Do I? Lol.. Afterwards I've gotta cook for 22 people so it might be my only chance for some peace. Anyways, merry Christmas to you, your families and Zeds.

I'm cooking for 22 people. It's my brother's 30th birthday.

I'm on day off today. Just worked the weekend. Working tomorrow, boxing day and Saturday.

Awesome help from the zed shed as usual.

What tyres are you referring to? The ones I said? The Michelin pilot alpin pa4? they are cold weather / winter tyres They are just the new version of my Michelin pilot alpin pa3s

Holy thread revival!

I think the Michelin pilot alpin pa4 negates that issue by being available in two different tread patterns. Assymmetrical and directional.

He's always been the tyre Guru Not any more

My point with winter tyres are they are safer at cold temperatures. For me I have to get around so I want and need the safty of being able to get around safely. The car that my nieces are in to go nursey has winter tyres as again I want the safety for them. I don't NEED winter tyres but a few years ago we had that cold snap in april. I wished I had my winter tyres so much. With winter tyres you can potentially and thats the key word potentially save money on tyres since they swap when it gets cold and winters seem to wear quite well. Save you money as your car will have much much more control and therefore you won't slide into anything or another car. It's safer. Also it will save you time. A normal journey when snowing fairly heavily with winter tyres with double just so I'm being safe. That journey will become tiring, dangerous and take maybe 10x the time it would have taken normally. For me its a no brainer. BUT if you live in the SAAAAFFF you might not get it as bad or as cold as up here so it really is just a few days a year. That was my other point.

Just get some second hand Brembos!

Not sure but I think the title could be up for grabs soon Shotgun!

How did ekona become the tyre know all???

From cold, irrespective of what temperature it is around you, it takes roughly two miles for tyres to heat up to an improved/effective level. So on a cold day it'd take two miles for the mpss to warm up to make use of its improved grip. The alpins would take the same two miles but they'd still be safer from the get go. If its under 7°c outside air temp then the mpss would never have as much grip as the alpins. No matter how much or hard you drive it.

So what's the difference between summer and winter tyres? It's just rubber isn't it??? Cold Weather tyres not only improve safety, they also shorten braking distances and increase performance. Remember, Summer tyres are not designed to be used in cold weather. At cool temperatures, Summer tyres are less effective on all types of road surfaces. Cold Weather tyres are made of a special rubber compound suited to these low temperatures and unlike Summer tyres, they do not harden in the cold, which increases their performance and grip. My experience... So I have two sets. One set of rays alloys with Michelin pilot super sports (mpss) and one set of touring alloys with Michelin pilot alpin pa3 tyres. The winters have done About 6000 miles. Fronts are down to 7mm from 8mm. Rears still at 8mm. So I should get a few years use out of them. I guessing four years for the fronts. I bought mpss for the fronts in may 2012 and they are currently on the legal limit after having done about 13500 miles. The winters definitely provide more grip during the colder weather and I had no trouble in the snow. Yes you can also be fine with summer tyres if you drive carefully but winters are definitely safer. One bit of info I found was that apparently if braking on snow from 50kmph to a halt, it'll take 48m on average summer tyres with an average car. Its 24m with cold weather tyres.

Yep that'd be me!

Asm front support brace and arc titanium strut brace Oh and a titanium finish hr cooling panel

Most pointless thread ever???

A non existent one. Can't see anything.
