  1. is your clock just showing --|-- I also have a JDM with UK clocks but seem unable to locate what should be the clock. let us know how you get on, I had convinced myself something was missing for this feature!
  2. I went from standard 18's to some Rays forged wheels and the different was night and day to be honest!
  3. If you stick this in your browser http://www.annefrank.org/ImageVault/Ima ... ndler.aspx it should give you the option to download. its in FLV format which you can convert to your requirements. Not sure if you can put that straight into Powerpoint but if you need it converting to a format and struggling let me know I might be able to help! Kev
  4. would you consider standard non LED lights?
  5. Less than 2 weeks and I'll be back in my Zed....... boy its been a long break this year!
  6. and also how do the rears sit, are they even?
  7. I'm guessing its just the picture but the nearside wheel appears to be set further forward than the off side. Might be worth clarifying they are both in line to rule that out as part of the problem. If they are even then check to make sure you haven't got a broken spring on the off side before anything
  8. Offset is all important here so it might be worth listing that too!
  9. Not for me either I'm afraid! but its your mod so as long as you are happy that's all that matters!
  10. yeah I missed some really nice days to be fair.... I guess I've scored with the saving on fuel but just pricing up the insurance renewal, tax, MOT and other bits I need sorting its going to be at least a Grand just to get it back on the road!
  11. I'm afraid I'm one of those "put it away for winter types" these days and the tax ran out and the end of October so it went away a bit early really
  12. check this out then. I've been driving the missis's straight 3 68bhp Suzuki Alto since November! I'm expecting big things when I climb back into the Zed in March!
  13. Something very similar but I always find that driving while awake makes me a better driver. I went out for a spirited drift around my local car park motorway yesterday when I was asleep next week and I found that the weather made my tyres go wrong and I slid into a curb and crashed. it didn't happen when I was awake!
  14. Sorry, this is exactly the point. If I have a Zed (max NCD), premium £500 and buy a BMW 330D (no NCD) and then have an accident with the BMW, are you saying I don't have to declare it to the Zed insurers and my next year's premium will be unaffected assuming they're not mirrored? My company always asks if I've had any convictions or accidents in the last 5/3 years, full stop. Not which car it was in. Thats just what I was saying, sorry if it wasn't clear enough. In simplest terms. You wouldn't loose your no claims bonus on the Zed with the other policy but you WOULD have to declare you had a claim so they would put the premium up anyway. Hope thats clearer! In which case, it's the driver who earns the NCD and it should be applied to any car he owns no matter how many. Differences in premium would be the cost to repair and the potential for having an accident ie. horsepower and age of driver. The driver does earn the NCD and it can be assigned to any vehicle but you cant assign one lot of no claims to 2 or more vehicles at once unless the insurance company specifically allows it for whatever reason. and your insurance really has sod all to do with cost to repair of the vehicles nowadays. Its more about the millions in compensation someone could claim if you run into them!

  16. We need to remember that NCB is no claims bonus. If you claim on one policy you dont loose you NCB on your other policy because they each earn their own NCB (unless its a single policy with mirrored NCB in which case you would). What you would have to do is declare your claim to the other policy provider as they ask if you have had any claims and that status would change. Its all a total con and they will try any trick they can not to payout on a policy so you have to be really sharp! I always find it suprising that people think they can just use their NCB on a second policy, i bet there are loads of people who have done this and are none the wiser!
  17. Its a bit old so apologies if its a repost but this guy has some skills! http://jalopnik.com/5417482/man-builds- ... minum-cans
  18. Have you seen his other stuff? He has been doing these things for ages, the real life Super Mario stuff is brilliant too!
  19. Was the car cold or warmed up when you looked at it?
  20. Bose has tweeters in the doors. (my import) Non Bose does not. I presume the UK ones will be the same. as for quality, my non bose aftermarket headunit system sounds just as good to me as my brothers (occasionally skipping) Bose setup. but then I'm not a Bass head!
  21. Is that posted dude? if so I'll take it! cheers Kev
