    LEGO!

    Man I used to have this too - it had moving seats (i think just fore and aft) and a 'working' engine and I think gearbox too My folks kept all my old 'proper' lego so I now have it all at my house, but they got rid of my technic On a brighter note, I'm at the inlaws now for pre-Christmas and I got the expert creator min cooper as a pressie :)

    Good man Kyle R Me and my Mrs are both massive Lego nerds, and since we moved in together a few years ago have been a very bad influence on each others plastic brick buying habits haha. I also have the sets in your original post - the racing truck that you can make from the F1 car set is awesome too. Can't wait for this to get final approval: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/60632 Have fun!
  8. Nismo GT500 titanium - not cheap but a great knob
  9. Deffo go lower OP Here's mine before and after. Lowered on KW v3 with (if I remember rightly) a 10mm drop from max height (which I think in itself is 20mm lower than standard). Just have to take care and go slow over speedbumps and not straddle the island type ones - hardly ever scrapes IMG_1706a by Sized, on Flickr Untitled by Sized, on Flickr
  10. Daryl on here used to make them buddy (genuine carbon too). Not sure if he still does but give him a shout.
  11. Nice Which dealership is this? Might have to pop down and have a perv
  12. Spotted around junction 8-10 at about 12.30 today. I was in my zed - gave thumbs up as you overtook and you waved Your car had a zed shed sticker in the back I think.......
  13. Another vote for chatting with Liam (Sarnie) - great guy, very helpful, and really knows his stuff about the whole process. I have no experience re: shared equity schemes, but good luck OP and hope you find a way onto the ladder that suits you

    Doing my nut in

    Yeah it's bloody weird Wasso! Maybe GT Spec changed the thickness of the mounts on their brace?! The 25mm bolts would have only needed to be 2-3mm shorter for me to have no issues (no plenum spacer on my car). Who knows but 20mm is the thread length of my OEM bolts so the new ones I've fitted should be equally ok

    Doing my nut in

    Quick belated update on this. Did another test with the 25mm bolts that I had. Carried on tightening a quarter turn or so after meeting with the resistance described above, then undid the bolt again to have a peer down the hole. The end of the bolt had started to score the paint on the wheel arch moulding It would have tightened up all the way but not without going down to the metal I don't think. Wasn't really happy with that so exchanged them for 20mm race spec bolts from pro-bolt, which fit like a charm and look great on Still can't really understand why others have had no issue with 25mm bolts, but this just my 2p Must say Pro-bolt have been great to deal with too

    Hmmm sounds like operator error on my part then - now I feel like a numpty! Will give it another go later on...................... Cheers Wasso

    Doing my nut in

    Crikey, scary stuff. Hopefully they'll be ok on the zed strut - torque setting is not mega high. Weird. I'm assuming all the bolts are the same length - I've just tried one of the outermost ones and even with the 25mm length bolts the end of the bolt reaches the top of the wheel arch moulding a good 3-4mm before the flange is flush with the strut brace. I'm running a GT Spec strut brace which I think is essentially the same as the cusco one too!

    Doing my nut in

    Afternoon all, Just wanted to offer a word of caution to anyone on the hunt for better looking replacements for the 6x bolts and 2x nuts that secure the front strut bar, and also ask for some advice on the subject. I ended up splashing out on a titanium set from pro-bolt, which is one of the specific kits they do. If anyone else is thinking of ordering one of these kits, please be aware that they will definitely not a fit a car with no plenum spacer, as the bolts in the kit are too long (35mm). Phoned up pro-bolt and arranged an exchange for 25mm length bolts (found the size quoted on here somewhere I think). However, these are also too long Measured one of the factory bolts on my car they are actually 20mm thread length. Pro-bolt do do M10 x 20 x 1.25 pitch bolt, but only in the race-spec range, which I'm not mad keen on, so I'd love to hear any recommendations for where they got replacement (titanium) bolts from. Thanks
  19. I can recommend the megs kit. My headlights were pretty cloudy, but a quick bit of polishing using the drill attachment and a quick buff with a microfibre and they look
  20. You can get one of the other cars in your list of recent drives for £40k now too (the R8) Hope you find the right motor though buddy.
  21. Hmmm it's pretty bad I'd say The one on here earlier was much worse though I'll give you that!
  22. Wonder if this is going to run to as many pages as that bleedin' Astra one......
  23. Car looks great but black lip and skirts all the way for me
