  1. I still can't find a good reason for the French method of people joining the roundabout have priority, surely that just creates gridlock on the roundabout rather than keeping it flowing? Odd... I'm hoping that is sarcasm! haha. My worst encounter was with a French plate driver who was in front of me, started off to enter the roundabout, so I looked to the left to check oncoming traffic for me... only to look back (while rolling forward) to find this ***** has stopped again while 75% of his car is ON THE ROUNDABOUT. Rear-ended him and got screwed by insurance because it's legally "my fault" despite this utter tw@ abandoning his manoeuvre mid-way through it!
  2. I just reset it every time it pops up. Not too difficult Process is: 1. Turn key to contact position 2. Wait until airbag light turns off, then immediately turn key to "off" position Repeat process consecutively 3 times and at the end of the 3rd time when the airbag light disappears, turn the engine on. Make sure once key has been turned to off positon, flip it straight back to contact virtually immediately
  3. As Dan said. When mine started slipping, it starts in the higher gears first. So in 6th gear, I'd floor it and the revs would jump and no acceleration, then gradually 5th gear had the same symptoms and then a little in 4th gear. At that point, I managed to drive it all the way to Sly's in Rochester from Luxembourg (around 550 miles). Reason for that, Nissan dealership told me it would be around £2900 just for a new clutch and flywheel (not including labour costs)... got it all done at Sly's for less than £1000
  4. Yeah, you gotta get used to that over this side of the pond. Severe lack of: people who know how to use roundabouts properly, people who indicate, knowledge of who has priority, etc... If you see someone in a foreign plated car that indicates and uses roundabouts correctly, chances are that they are actually British driving a foreign plated car! Where else are you venturing to? I'm based in Luxembourg
  5. Absolutely stunning Zed! With the LMGT4 rims too! Love the colour... very tasteful!
  6. I just had the WORST night's sleep (or lack of) in a long time! Just came back from my holidays, to watch this absolute shambles of a final. Watching paint dry would have been far more interesting. Luxembourg's population = 543,000 - total amount of those that have Portuguese nationality = 83,000!. I don't know if any of you have witnessed Portuguese fans after winning a football game first hand, but it is horrific! The game finished, and then, out of nowhere... we have fireworks going off all over the place, flares being fired, car horns going off almost constantly with people out the sunroofs with airhorns... this continued until 3:30am roughly. Could not get a wink of sleep. Absolute nightmare! I swear, everytime Portugal have a football game, we all pray for them to lose, because if they win (no matter the circumstances) it is non-stop noise. On a side note, I did find it interesting how Ronaldo goes off injured and is visibly limping, then when the goal is scored... he is seen walking around normally and even JUMPING with joy on this apparently injured leg! Then, when collecting the trophy, the limp is magically back again! I think someone needs to eat some concrete and harden the f*** up! Portugal did not deserve to be in the final at all. Would have much rather seen Wales there. Wales vs Iceland final would have been awesome!
  7. Always preferred the BAR in COD... haha. Down to personal choice I guess Yeah I went up the World Trade Centre tower (I think it was the South Tower) back in 1997. I still remember those elevators! Ridiculously fast!
  8. With the Y pipe included it is indeed a full cat back system... yeah, no fitment issues
  9. Anyone have thoughts on that penalty though? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. As ioneabee says, I stopped playing and watching football because of all the unnecessary diving, faking injuries, crowding the ref with the intention of influencing his decision. So I switched to playing rugby. Never looked back, seems a much fairer game, more interesting to watch and more fun (for me at least). However you are right to a certain extent about "pretending to be tough and unaffected on camera" hahaha. I usually need help getting out of bed in the morning as my back, shoulders, neck etc are sore as ****. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Also the weekend before, we had these... anyone want to guess how many in the pic? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Three? Try 5... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Yeah,I'm down in southern Turkey on the hols, managed to find a TV showing it... hard to understand with commentators, but France really are showing the world how terrible our national football team really is! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Summary: People (Including ones that can afford a $75k car) = Idiots. Money doesn't buy sense! Or taste I know... just think how many Zeds he could've bought instead!
  15. How much louder do you think it is over stock?
  16. Just out of interest, just how much louder is this system than stock in your opinion?
  17. Yep, sorry to say this, but if you've already paid the bill, then it's going to be damn near impossible to get your money back on this one! Might be worth taking it to the Zed shed in future so you don't get messed about. They are based near Bournemouth I believe, and come very highly recommended
  18. What..... is...... that! :lol: This is a prime example of why I am so happy my girlfriend would never buy me any part for my car without talking to me first! But, I must say, you have to give her an A for effort... just an F for execution
  19. I think really your best bet is getting a new one from Tarmacsportz as I don't think I've seen an RDX stubby up or sale in a verrry long time. Effing hate it when jealous/mindless pricks damage someone else's property! I swear if I saw someone do anything to my car, I'd tear them a new one!

    Rims and Stuff

    This is the first I've read of chopping the rear bumper. That looks great! Is the Chargespeed rear bumper already like that though Payco?
