  1. Personally I make the 100 mile round trip to CS in Leicester. When you find good service you tend to stick with it!
  2. You cannot fault the guys. I travel over an hour each way to use them. Which, based on fuel prices today should serve as a testament to the quality of work and banter they provide I arrived late the other day and even though they had important plans they stayed behind and fitted some new drive belts to my car. Granted it's not a massive job but it shows that they do infact care about their customers!
  3. How much would the following package cost: Plenum Spacer (plus fitting) Berks HFC (plus fitting) UpRev Remap ?
  4. I just got back from a trip to Spain with my partner. Part of the trip involved going to San Firmines which is the festival in Pamplona where they run the bulls through the streets each morning. The atmosphere was mental. A real crazy place! Here are a few photos and videos.... Pints of Sangria Obviously you have to wear the uniform of the fiesta! People waiting to run with the bulls! Closest I was allowed to get A video I took from our balcony spot overlooking the run: If you get the chance to go to this then do it! It's a 10 day long 24 hour party, it seriously never stops! The Spanish know how to party!
  5. Where in East Mids are you mate? I am tempted. What are these worth?
  6. I have the same thing at the moment. I am going to pop to a garage to get it on the ramps and check her bum out for any bits that shouldn't be wobbling Any recomendations for the Swindon/Newbury/Oxford Area? Also how much do rear drop links cost? How much to uprated ones cost?
  7. Or you could collect from my house in Stratford-Upon-Avon (CV37)
  8. Hopefully the video will help people if they are making a choice about which system to go for. I know I spent hours on Youtube listening but couldn't find any decent videos so fingers crossed this is an accurate sound!
  9. Right I am going to pick up a leather cleaner tomorrow from Halfords and want to know which one to go for... Zymol Leather Cleaner: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165651 Or Mer Leather Cleaner: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165651 Or Auto Glym Leather Cleaner Spray: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165651 Heard fairly good things about top two products. Any first hand experience?

  11. Massive thanks to Andy and Mitz for fitting me in at the end of a busy day so I could get my car back on the road! Thanks to fakeindian for selling me his exhaust! Turned up standard and left with a Japspeed Y pipe and Scorpion exhaust! Few pictures: And we have proven that with some careful placement of cardboard for padding a complete OE Y pipe, mid section and backbox will fit in the boot of a 350! All these horror stories of having the Y pipe in the front were not true! To sum it up. Top guys, top service and good banter
  12. Firstly let me say that working on and cleaning cars in 0 degree weather is not fun but I guess it toughens you up! I went down to see Daryl first this Saturday morning after getting my MOT sorted We started off getting Daryl's lovely Azure Zed gleaming. We then moved on to uprating the pads in my Zed Issue with my existing rotors wearing unevenly so I got a really hot blue mark on both disks in the same place! Will sort itself out after a few miles I am sure. Daryl then took my Snow Foam cherry Shiny new Scorpion! Two gleaming Zeds! Can't beat a good day of banter, detailing, modding and Tesco's Finest burgers
  13. We are just in the process of changing the pads on my zed and we noticed that the disk was loose. Is this normal? I assumed that the disk would have a retaining screw to keep it tight but once the wheel was off the disk was a bit loose. Is this something to be concerned about?! Help! It seems to be relying on the wheel being bolted up to keep the disk tight.
  14. Scorpion system and a Japspeed Y pipe
  15. That's what I wanted to hear I will take plenty of sheets to wrap it and music to drown out the moans of the passenger as he is forced to hold the Y pipe the whole way home
  16. Will a standard backbox, mid section and Y pipe fit in a 350? Will I be able to have a passenger at the same time? Going on a road trip to fit new exhaust so will need to cart old one back with me!
  17. What sort of price can you get trackday cover for? As I am only planning on doing a couple days this year I might get some cover.
  18. Daryl, We (www.weekend-racer.co.uk) are doing Oulton Park in March! I think it is a Tuesday and the 29th rings a bell. I can get you better details closer to the time. But let me know if you fancy it We tend to get decent rates as we make block bookings as a site.
  19. Guys, Have any of you had any issues with after market exhausts and track days? I am looking to put the Scorpion and a Y pipe on but don't want to find out I don't meet the 105db rule!
  20. Can the steering wheel controls be popped out easily then? Do the silver plates come away from the unit? I don't fancy paying £50 when its just a 5mm bit of clear plastic that is missing
  21. Mine is going to Morleys Nissan in Warwick on Friday morning for a P2 and a MOT so I will report back on their service
  22. First off is it possible to replace the silver parts of the steering wheel around the radio controls? And is it possible to replace the ring on the fan speed dial? The very small translucent plastic part on the outer ring (that shows which fan speed you have selected) has some how fallen out of the black plastic. Very minor but annoying Is it possible to replace?
  23. In the snow when I had my ESP turned off I noticed a light would still flash up that looked like an ESP light. Are there a couple different systems at work all the time and you can only turn one off? '04 UK GT.
