yes I agree Sagara... 100% you should not skimp or put mixed tyres on but it is not as critical or death wish devastating as its being made out to be should you not do so

Ekona you do spout some holier than thou tosh sometimes.... it is not CRITICAL that you have matching tyres on an axle.. it was not the most ridiculous thing he could have said.. the car wont explode if you don't.. if you pootle around town and never push the car in the wet or dry you wont crash and burn.... i agree it IS best practice and safest to have matching tyres on the axles and the general advise is to do just that its a good job you don't mind people thinking you are being condescending.............

the OP wants a V8..... kinda rules out the GTR from the outset

this is the same Clarkson that slates the 350z right... hmmmm

no not too sciency at all... been doing lots of reading and trying different things for a month at a time to see what works... my gym buddy will be pleased with the low intensity cardio idea as he hates it..... light cardio in the mornings eh... best get the Mrs on board!

"had the TCS off, i was in 3rd gear n pressed hard" I what looks like a 30 zone and with all that rain yesterday be thankful you didn't hit anyone else or hurt yourself......

TT350 thanks for the reply... Are you monitoring exactly how much you're eating? Even if it's all healthy stuff, if you're eating too much it will get stored. Use an online tool that includes your activity levels as well as your age weight and height etc to calculate how much you need. Then when you know how many you need to maintain your current weight then try and create a deficit of 1000cals a day. That should in theory equate to 2 pounds of fat a week. 7000cals. (No I don't monitor exactly what I eat.... I will give the online things a try and see how I go) Try an app with a food and nutrition database that you can log your food with. I use calorie counter by fatsecret. That'll make it easier. (Ok I will have a look at that one) High intensity cardio is good but straight after weights it'll eat your muscle. Rarely see bodybuilders doing HIIT but I always see them slowly walking on the treadmill on incline. Low intensity like walking directly after weights is good. Keep your heartrate about 120. (Me and my gym buddy tend to do the cardio at the start of the workout to both warm up and get it out of the way first) Fasted cardio IE when you first wake up is great for shifting lard. At my leanest and most muscular I was doing 45 mins walk in morning and 45 mins after weights in evening. (I really REALLY struggle with energy in the mornings. I have tried training first thing but boy do I struggle) What's your alcohol consumption like? (I gave up booze completely for three months then went on holiday and have only been having maybe 2 pints a week on a Friday night) They do say eat big to get big but over the years I've found I don't need to eat huge amounts. Also with regards to the carbs after training - do it the other way around. Carbs ONLY directly before training. They call it targeted ketogenic diet. Zero carbs all day apart from before training. (When you say directly before training do you mean as I walk in the gym or up to 30 mins before. Thanks for taking the time to reply)

So my story is a little different. im a pretty big fella.... 6ft 4 inch and fairly heavy build but have always struggled with weight (fat) I put on fat really easily. anyway about 18 months ago thought enough was enough and 22 stone was way too big and with my 40th birthday approaching I decided to do something. with mainly cutting back on the diet (no rubbish... cakes crisps, chips... the usual) and with a healthy dose of cardio I lost 4 stone in a year.... during that time I also started lifting weights and now go 5 times a week with 40 mins cardio and 1hr 20 weights each day....I am building as my waist hasn't changed but my weight has gone back up by a stone... I know its not all about size but I now have a 39 inch waist 50 inch chest 17.5 inch bicep 20.5 inch calf and 28.5 inch thigh. I am eating clean (oats, zero fat greek yogurt (protein) tuna, chicken breast, brown rice, broccoli... you get the idea) and training hard plus taking glutamine and creatine but I am stuggling to lose the fat that sits round my belly and to a lesser extent on my love handles... I am slowly getting better shape to my arms meaning I am losing the fat covering little by little but its really hard. I have tied no carbs... I have tried cheat days (I put fat on in a day!) I have tied all sorts.... currently trying low fat low carb high protein every day except on training days.... on those days I do low fat , low carb all day then after training smash loads of clean carbs (brown rice and sweet potatoes) something to do with spiking the natural insulin levels??? I know building muscle and losing fat at the same time is hard but I seem to have not lost anything in months......... eat big get big they say... if I do that I get fat even with all the training! anything you guys can suggest?

hopefully its a hair dryer to help heat up and remove the horrible decals all over it

I believe its Intelligent Power Distribution Module

long drive from Kent but seems to be the cheapest best option for the roof if a replacement is needed

"Whereabouts are you? Seen a blue 350z in Horley a couple of times but each time I've been in other cars" Redhill / Reigate Azure roadster with rota GTRs

check before you leave... tyre pressures, oil level, washer fluid....

cause my way of saying it was better

CAT B Because of blood? Must be a type O?

"I'm entitled to an opinion am i not?" yes.... and so is Gangzoom and he has chosen the correct place on the forum to express it.

police witch hunt.... hmmmm driving at 70 in a 30 and the wrong way round roundabouts whilst street racing... yes its soooo unfair that the police are picking on these poor lads and lasses.

"The Electric car propaganda is getting on my tits" then when you see a post by gangzoom don't read it...

either this is an open off topic forum or it isn't.... if each week the topic of a new development comes up and a new thread gets started so what? bringing in rules like you can only post about it in this thread and that thread killed another forum I was on elsewhere... I you don't like it you don't like it you don't have to read it

Richesio... just round the corner from me....

I drove 4k miles round Europe crossing 10 countries and saw at least 25 Teslas..... only saw 3 350s.... think I will stick with my out dated exclusivity

doesn't matter how many checks it has had and what letters he has saying its ok to drive a Cat B is a Cat B... Category B: body shell should be crushed. Signifies extensive damage, although some parts are salvageable. Should never re-appear on road, although reclaimed parts can be used in other road-going vehicles.
