  1. Indeed I do, very good sound, decent heat shield (in that it completely surrounds the filter cone) and it has a velocity stack for the extra 0.5% bhp or whatever that brings - I took off my stock intake with cosworth filter and velocity stack mod for the Stillen, not looked back It is a touch on the pricey side though, JWT do a cheaper version and there is a HKS one doing the rounds on ebay at the moment as other options.
  2. Worth getting a knob that matches your hand, brake.
  3. ...I quite like the look of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/03-06-NISSAN-350Z-Z-3-5L-VQ35DE-ENGINE-BILLET-OIL-CAP-/250614444561
  4. Success! We have somewhere to live, move in early May! In the end Savills came good, again (we used them for the place in Windsor) with a nice house in Richmond It has been a shockingly painful experience dealing with these estate agents, worse than I can ever remember, in summary: Foxtons, lots of rogue younger sales reps who couldn't give a jot about you or what you want and will speak down to you like an idiot Dexters, actually did listen to what you want, did a lot of follow up with places that were on our spec, although their automated email system is terrible after I specced Richmond/St Margarets I was being emailed places in Hammersmith and Kensington and I would get the same property emailed 6-7 times a day Chancellors, have to say worse than Foxtons, their approach to the rental market is to take people to see the property, then you say you will take it, they say ok and then proceed to tell you for two days all is ok, only then to find out you havent got it after 'all the bids were put to the landlord and he chose someone else' - I never realised the rental market worked like ebay... Chase Buchanan, seemed nice and helpful but then did a lot of faffing with properties coming in that were perfect for us and them forgetting to tell us All in all a really painful experience and one not keen to repeat anytime soon - generally they are staffed by wet behind the ears sales reps who think because they are renting out a half million pound property that makes them somewhat above the people renting it - I have never experienced such general poor levels of customer service be it in a pizza restaurant or when buying a car off a forecourt. They really are in a class of their own at the bottom of the scale there - to the point when you get a good one who actually listens to you its like Christmas come early. Anyways...onwards and upwards.
  5. Sorry only just seen the question - cant remember exactly but it was something like £20 here and there, nothing major.
  6. Just sitting back reading this...bizarre how it got to this really, we must look a right bunch from the outside in. Reading back, the original post was cryptic and bizarre in its own right and people tried to figure out what was going on with questions etc. Personally, I think people should be allowed to speak how they like - but at least spell it in someway correct, so if using 'know what I mean mate' try not writing 'no wat I meen mate' - computers have spell checkers nowadays people that start picking at the odd comma here and there really only say that as they really have nothing of any use to say. If you go to a meet I don't hear people speaking in perfect English so not sure why there is such drum banging about it on here. But from what I saw the OP launched in a swearing fit at a long term member who had good reason to be concerned about the apparent way the car was being driven, in fact I thought Neil was very reserved in his reply and didnt drop to the level of the OP....since then we have had a series of nit picking going on which has somehow gone over into five pages when in fact 80% of the answer, to me anyway, was in the very first reply from Zugara...
  7. Had a good day thanks chaps - nice and relaxing, took it easy - have this coming week off as well

  9. Thanks guys! Been out for pizza and beer for lunch yeeeeha.
  10. No worries mate - twas a pleasure. Thanks for curry and beers as well Car looks stunning, even by the time it was back in Windsor it still looked spotless ...oh and thanks for the ideas on the engine bay
  11. That looks like the fella - the housing pretty much encases the filter, and has a velocity stack built in
  12. Yep OEM plus velocity stack gives best bhp, although I suspect we are talking small numbers. I happily gave those couple of horses for a Stillen intake howl (the Stillen also has a velocity stack)
  13. Not that it isn't corrupt as hell - but its not like football stands alone Rugby is hardly clean cut either, players gouging attempting to blind other players for starters. As for out and out cheating... Cycling, drug cheats rife left right and centre. Athletics champions, again drug taking all over the shop. Cricket! Yet watch Ice Hockey and brawling is encouraged
  14. ...there really are more important things to debate guys "particularly at the end of a sentence...." FOUR dots, really, FOUR! Instead of THREE? What is the world coming to
  15. Not heard of this before...wouldnt risk it personally!
  16. I had the plastics for the rear fog but just sold them on here - decided not to in the end (I have flyeyes kit over them so they just look blacked out keeping it that way). Yeah the steps I got from Aero Kit - they also sell them on ebay but they are more expensive.
  17. I think the zunsport grille is horrible I am going to sound biased, but I agree, they do look 'tacked on' - prefer the one I have which you need to attach to the inside of the bumper - just looks a lot cleaner...
  18. Chuffed that being a useless handy man, I managed to drill and fit these. I tried one side, checking it against the bolts and the pre marked drill points - they were spot on very pleased Then I checked the other side, they were all completely off line and I had to mark my own drill points - bizarre really that they could mark one side spot on but not the other
  19. 1. Check other similar roles online to see the going rate 2. Value your unique attributes, what sets you apart from everyone else and what value you would put on that 3. Force them to make the offer, don't play your hand BUT, I would say, as much as money makes the world go round, a horrible job makes you forget the pay rise very quickly. Have you worked for a smaller company before? Bear in mind you will need to be more hands on, no HR, no IT, much less support, you might also experience more 'its my baby' from the owners. Jim made a good point, promises of high flying and the like are great, but any company big or small can claim that. Think about why you are moving, are you unhappy where you are? Money will follow if you are in a happy environment doing a job you are passionate about.
  20. Little update...front splitter from Stillen, and side steps And number plate back on the bumper. All it needs now is a proper good polish
  21. Bought it from the gtechnique site itself I think...pretty similar price all over the internet.
