  2. Hi and Check oput the link for advice on posting pictures. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55163
  3. Hi mate i will take the OEM droplinks ?rear £20 delivered Thanks Rothers. PM sent.
  4. Nice to hear I wouldnt like to be in you shoes when filling out an insurance quote with these stats. If i could give any advice to anyone who cares to listen, observation, awareness of your surrounding and antisipation is key to safe driving. Treat every other road user as an idiot who WILL do the unexpected.
  5. Does a crash make you a better driver? Only if you survive. I can only begin to asume that inexperience when driving a RWD has a lot to do with the majority of comments in this thread re, (Back end stepping out). Iv'e found that unless there is outside influences which cannot be foreseen it's almost impossible to get the back end slipping without being over zelous with the right foot. The Z is such a great car to drive it's all too easy to get carried away and fall to temptation to push the boundries. Im my experience drivers skill levels, fall far short of the levels of grip of modern day cars so when grip does give way it's generally at too higher speed thus normally no way back and the enevitable happend. Having said all of this, and to answer the original question. There is no substitute for expeirience so if you can walk away from any crash providing you learn from it then, yes crashing should make you a safer but not a better driver.
  6. Yesterdays episode was an absolute load of rubbish. 9 miniutes on a vauxhall Corsa then 51 minutes of even worse TV. What was the point?
  7. Interested to see Kurt Cobain didn't feature on your list..... .....that's because we all know Courtney Love had a wicked part to play in his death! Kurt Cobain Yet another the list is endless
  8. Drugs, alcohol abuse have their consequences. A life time of abuse will eventually finish you off. Lets not sensationalise the facts of drug/alchol abuse. I have never met anyone who doesnt know about the consequences. Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, Elvis, John Belushi, Marilyn Monroe, Paula Yates, Billie Holiday, Margaux Hemingway to name a few. Role models I think not.
  9. Here's Ryan again caught strutting his stuff outside a pub.
  10. Im all for supporting traders on here and not wishing to put anyone off from buying direct. I think they do a great job and without them it would be very difficult to source spares and upgrades. I hope you sell plenty of the Cobra systems as i think they are one of the best on the market. It's just made me chuckle with the above quotes.
  11. Its not obligitory to have a air bag but as far as the future implications. Obviously if the air bag has been deployed this will throw up a fault on the system. the below extract may help. On 1 January 2012, new rules were added to the current MOT by the Department for Transport (DfT) to comply with European testing procedures. It's a pretty substantial list, but there's one which could mean big bills for thousands of drivers. If your car has any illuminated warning lamps, whether it is the airbag, seatbelt, ESP, SRS, ABS or others, it will soon fail the MOT. It's not all bad news. If your car's MOT runs out before the 31 March 2012 and you have a warning light that needs addressing, the testers will treat it as an 'advisory', i.e. advice on what needs to be done for the next MOT. However, if your MOT is due after 1 April 2012, you better get your skates on and get the warning light (or other faults in the list below) fixed, otherwise you'll receive the dreaded fail sheet. The AA has kindly published a summary of the new rules. If you think your car needs attention on any of the points below but still has a long MOT left, we recommend getting it seen to sooner rather than later.
  12. Was at Exhaust Uk a couple of weeks ago (previously Used them) to get some advise on the Cobra system. The price was the same but fitted. I have used them before and couldnt fault their sevice. They even had my Z on their ramps and gave me a free exhaust check and fixed a slight leak without any charge. This is where i will be going when i need to replace the exhaust
  13. I thought last nights episode was going to be as entertaining as last weeks but turned out to be an episode of 3rd's. Part 1 Nascar, a fine insight to the sport and just how difficult to handle at speed . Some seemed to be on ice @ 190MPH. Part 2 Merc SLS another fine section and entertaining. But come on part 3, China and their crappy knock offs bored me to death and couldnt wait for the episode to end. In fact didnt turned it off.
  14. Welcome to the forum looks like a nice Zed.
