  1. A complete aside my dads played in the tattoo twice. It is well worth going if your close by etc.
  2. [A recurring annoyance for me are groups of cyclists riding in clusters upto 3 side by side ] you forgot to add them having a chin wag at the same time completly oblivious to everything around them . My biggest hate though is bikers with "THINK BIKE" tabards on overtaking me at well over the speed limit in stoooopid places..........and they wonder why they get sideswiped . One minute nobodys there and the second hes next to your wing mirror.
  3. Still considering the epr lip ourselves seeing as the varis one from the states is scary money. Anyone know where I can find a source for CF nismo jdm style skirts? Struggling to find a set of CF skirts.

    Non GT

    As i said before the whole GT non GT arguement is probably more valid if both cars are standard, in the same condition for the same price but if the non GT has extra's is lower mileage and is say 500 quid cheaper what then? Its a question that cant be answered easlily as you then bring in JDM and also say rev-up etc and it rolls on. In the end if your car is pukka, has some nice add-ons and is priced right itll sell. If it isnt then it wont. 1k more for what? Thats what you have to ask yourself at point of purchase if you bought the car for 1k less now then in a couple of yearsif you sell if for 1k ish less (proportional to the general depreciation/market value of GT cars it would still sell) so in essence the whole GT/Non GT arguement imho is a mute one. For example how many Chilli red cars exist in the UK ? Ours is a non GT so for someone to find a GT chilli/rosso car available say when we sell ours is unlikely so if someone was hung up on colour......its all about what the buyer actually wants etc.

    Non GT

    Ours is a non GT and anyone who knows our car do you really think that it aint going to sell because its not a GT model? In the end surely it comes down to condition, mileage, add-ons and what your asking for the car? We looked at GT's and choptop versions and do you know what swung it for us .......condition, colour, and the bits on the car....NOT the odd extra's that come with a GT. Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong but just my opinion though but I wouldnt be hung up with the whole GT and no GT thing more important would be UK versus JDM.
  6. Truly awful, heart goes out to his family and friends.Sounds like power plant or control system failure very much doubt it was pilot error bit strange he didnt bang out asume he was still trying to get control of the aircraft or keeping it away from people on the ground. either way RIP brave bloke.
  7. heres ours.........there will be some changes soon
  8. thx mate already got a simota breather from my impreza
  9. Exactly as the title says..........I'm after replacing my power steering, cooling overflow and washer top up with nice shiney bits.
  10. I'm after some carbon side skirts and don't want chargespeed ones, pref nismo jdm style, Varis perhaps or maybe some carbon underkskirt foot board type ones. Struggling to find any though so any ideas help etc appreciated. Dont need to be originals but they do need to be pucker so no cheapo copies please.
  11. I killed one's brakes travelling from rimini across the mountains to Florence got to the bottom of a 4 mile or so downward set of twisties and my foot was to the floor on the brake and nothing.......except a metallic burning smell had to use the gears for the last few hundred yards. Bit scary really, GF of the time didnt have a clue
  12. [Di-Noc is difficult but certainly not impossible, hardest bit is around the dials the rest is fairly simple really...] ..........see below Now NO copying.............................
  13. yeah its a motorgrade cf roof
  14. Any one got some recommendations for a decent body ship thats reasonably close to notts/derby. Looking for a new front end and spoiler so will need them fitting and spraying to match the current paintwork. thx

  18. Neo-many thanks mate
  19. couple of vids of my very first sprint :- Out of the car vid In car vid Im a proper noob to all things motorsport but got the bug. . The zed aint going near a track though shell would kill me
  20. i did sprint last couple of years but my impreza spat a rod at the back end of last year. Saving for a replacement. Would love to do the golf series but not sure i can afford it:p and wheel to wheel racing with my lack of talent.............. my old baby (now in pieces )
  21. Canning circus is only a mile from shells work. Its getting quite disturbing now. Enough is enough. The army need to be on the streets. Sad day for the uk. Thieving scum. The **** that was on sky just now "im not a law abiding citizen" isnt there an island that we can ship this lot to preferably in the arctic circle. One thing is for certain all our insurance premiums will go up. the sony distribution warehouse alone must have cost the insurers a fortune. Im afraid curfews and the army on the streets may be the only way to sort this out. Joked earlier about considering shifting the stuff out the garage to fit the zed in . You think you live in a safe area but it seems the usual rules dont seem to be applying anymore.
  22. worth pointing out if the flanges are in good nick you should be looking for around the 150 mark just for the back box and middle section.
  23. Andy that shipley view I can see in the background?
  24. Neo muchos Gracias
  25. Much as id love to see the scumbags doing this being shot at, the reality is it would be an innocent bystander that would prob end up being hurt. I've see quite a few people on different forums moan about cops being afraid of litigation citing the incident at the G8. That incident was a disgrace and isnt a valid example. The officer concerned over stepped the mark on what was clearly a non threatening person and tbh he got caught. Id say its fairly easy to spot a looter and a bystander in this.............Looter description balaclava, throwing bricks, pockets full of stolen stuff. Bystander description NO balaclava, not troing stuff etc pockets not bulging with stolen stuff. You get the picture. More bodies on the ground to contain and then arrest is the solution. Dont forget this is happening where innocent people live and work You cant go firing tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets around willy nilly. Its also to early to say if the shooting of Mr duggan was lawful or not but quite clearly that incident now has little or nothing to do with the situation on the streets. I saw 4 moria's and a couple of police cars screaming down the southbound m1 I would imagine to bolster numbers ( I live j26). There may be 33000 met officers but id imagine they do also have to police the rest of london and do need to sleep at some point ( I heard a rumour they are actually human ) When they do catch all responsible I just pray they dont get the usual slap on the wrist
