Maybe we should have a new poll, which policy will Trump have a go at first - something sensible like infrastructure or something mental like blanket bans on people based on race or colour.
-
Ok maybe the words ruling class were wrong, but the politicians in charge (tories were not voted in twice, only once, prior to that was hung parliament) didn't do enough to heed the warning signs of voters who didn't feel they were on the same journey of success which politicians were announcing on the news everyday. It was in the end a protest vote for "someone else" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It takes years to create legislation and policy, even with reds in control anything daft from trump is likely to face opposition from his own party. Creating some of his ideas on trade are never going to be complete in his term in office, two years from now he is going to be 100% back into campaigning again. I said on the other page I find it scary, so not taking anything lightly, but for instance he cannot just rip up a bilateral agreement with Iran and replace it the following day with something else - it would take years to renegotiate by which time he will be out of office.

You will get individuals claim this and that, white people cannot be rappers etc. But its not the view of the whole, nor the majority. To assume it is and therefore its this completely misplaced assumption has driven people to vote for trump I feel it utterly ludicrous if I were to be quite frank. If anything its a complete cover for people to avoid the conversation that starts with 'you voted in someone who has obvious racists ideals and therefore you are associating with them'. Anyway, I think the vote as per brexit is more to do with widening class divides, an elite political class ignoring the cries of those doing badly when the country reports growth and rebelling. There is absolutely no denying some of the things Trump said and promised are based on outdated thinking that isn't political correctness gone mad, its racial profiling on a very simple basis. As I said if he wants to ban muslim's from the US because he sees them all as potential terrorists because the faith of the current opposing forces are of that type, then by that rule all American born people should be kicked out due to the hundreds, if not thousands of terror offences committed in schools and establishments across the US by Americans. The difference between this and brexit is that even if Trump chooses to attempt some of his more mental policies, he has little time to do it (extract from NATO, Iran agreement, etc) so unlikely to happen even if he tried and the democrats might think a bit harder about who they select to represent them next time. Brexit though is here to stay, so lets say I am not losing much sleep over Trump.

There is political correctness gone mad and then there is common bloody sense, some of the stuff he did and said is not political correctness gone mad. I don't gasp when he says 'blanket ban of muslims' because apparently its politically incorrect to label muslims like this, I gasp because of the utter stupidity of the assumption it will in some way solve something. Americans kill more Americans than any other nation on this earth, if we go with the stats he should start by deporting every American in America to make it safe once more.

Nope, read it again, the context of the statement was 'some' are not intelligent enough to genuinely think through some of the campaign promises that were made and come to a conclusion that they were highly unlikely and shouldn't be voting for him on the belief that they will be carried out in reality.

My point way back was that with the reds in play in all the important places the previous blocking of anything Obama tried will now be less prevalent, hence the scary comment. That said, I do wonder based on his winning speech whether all the quite vicious rhetoric he put forward as campaign 'promises' will either be held up by the republicans themselves of whom many have said in the lead up that they do not like Trump or they simply veto any of the ridiculous stuff like wasting time attempting to get Mexico to pay for a wall that American citizens will build. He has two years before he has to start campaigning for his second term, what he can realistically get done in that time is likely to be nowhere near what he promised. The interesting upshot is like the brexit issues, plenty of promises made which are so ridiculous but some people who lacked the IQ to realise it voted regardless based on those promises, how will they feel when none of it comes to pass? Does he focus on doing something constructive for the US like improving employment, infrastructure and energy building which is good for the country but not the anarchist approach millions bought into?

Somewhat ironically a dictatorship is what TM wants to force through Brexit plans without debate in parliament, something which Farage supports. Brexit was all about returning control to the UK parliament (or it was for a minority anyway) yet when that control is required to lawfully put through constitutional change, those that wanted that control wanted to skip it altogether. The scary thing about the US is that the Reds now control everything, whilst Obama was in he still had to contend with congress and the house - Trump doesnt have that problem.

The biggoted git was also a liar, and pretty corrupt also. But agree, it was a case of lesser of two evils

Budget of 10k used or buying a 370 new...one impossible and the other is going with quite a high repayment schedule.

Well it was the Floridonians that started the swing...I imagine they will be talking about how Trump is going to quadruple the military size with no money (despite claims he is not a war monger), clear half a trillion in debt in a few years, implement facist and racist policy. Or they will just grunt and say they wanted to shake it up a bit...consequences, what are those? Anyway I am off to an online trading company to buy shares in Mexican construction companies...

Ridiculous price on HKS exhaust copies (aka Japspeed K4)
coldel replied to Aashenfox's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
I think there are brands called things like 'infinity' on ebay that replicate japspeed stuff and it could be that those are really poor quality and break, which owners then associate with Japspeed. Dont get me wrong, Japspeed doesnt do premium high end exhausts, but shouldn't dismiss outright without any ownership experience or understanding of the build quality -
Ridiculous price on HKS exhaust copies (aka Japspeed K4)
coldel replied to Aashenfox's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
I think its hit and miss, have heard good and bad. Its also known in gen 6 celica circles that the expensive Blitz nur spec exhausts do snap regularly, throwing good money at stuff doesn't always necessarily mean its bullet proof. -
Ridiculous price on HKS exhaust copies (aka Japspeed K4)
coldel replied to Aashenfox's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
The Japspeed on my Celica has been on there since 2009 and is still immaculate. For the gen 6 Celica group you are much more restricted in whats on offer, HKS, Blitz, Japspeed and thats about your lot. A guy cut open a Japspeed exhaust and found for the money its great value, the bends were good, the interior flow no worse than the more expensive systems. There will always be an association around them, they are loud and low price therefore must be rubbish, however lots of older Celica's running them fine for years. In terms of fitment they almost never fit, but again when he cut one up found that you only had to reduce the mid pipe length by about 3-4 inches and the whole thing fitted perfect. -
Apparently there is a huge stash of energy available to the US worth hundreds of billions of dollars which he is going to 'free up' creating 500,000 new jobs. He is also going to bomb IS and take their oil - not sure how they do that, presume he has some very big trucks on standby. Most importantly though he is going to force Nabisco to make Oreos in the US again...

It is hilarious (although deeply troubling) reading through his campaign promises, ranging from introducing law that Americans born and bred should be offered jobs ahead of immigrants to allowing the US to use torture techniques on suspected terrorists and killing their families.

I can totally see why this and brexit happened (although the support for Trump was there way before the brexit vote so hard to say one drove the other). Hard for everyday people to accept when politicians say the country is thriving and millions are collecting their food from charities. What does great GDP mean if you cannot feed yourself? The class divide has never been bigger. That said, the public's willingness to believe the alternative be it £350m a week spent on the NHS or a wall being built by and paid for by Mexico really is quite something. The fallout of the US thing will be felt quicker as the change is pretty much instantaneous whereas brexit has yet to really have any impact so far. Somewhat ironically Trump is very much against free trade and prefers American protectionist policies so I would imagine any attempts by the UK to trade with the US have now become a whole lot more complicated...

If their car was a wreck I cannot imagine you got off scott free - only way is to have it inspected and the back of the car taken apart to look for structural damage I suspect.

Approved and increased the font size as original was too small to read.

Speak to rarerims, they got my spigot rings for the Rotas on my car.

It depends on the centre bore size of the wheels, as long as the centre bore matches the size on the zed you dont need them. If it doesn't then you can still put the wheels on but the weight of the car will be sat on the studs not the hub and is potentially hazardous. A quick google shows sites saying 350z bore is 66.1 so check your wheels for the centre bore size to match that.

If you can get both, good condition and good mileage is ideal, will make selling on a much easier job as the UK is well known as being a fickle lot when it comes to miles on cars. Although for 5-6k you are looking at the very bottom end of the range of cars available so likely to get only one or the other. Otherwise there are some great threads with buying guides on here, one thread on what happens at 100k miles and needs replacing. Have a dig through the site.
