Anyone planning on getting the iPhone 12 ?
ilogikal1 replied to ATTAK Z's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I don’t know about the Asda checkout, but it was ideal for all the ignorant knobbers on the Tube every day with their eyes constantly glued to their phones instead of looking where they’re going. Y’know, back when we were allowed to go places that is. Niche circumstance, perhaps, but there did seem to be thousands of those f**kers around. (I’m over it. Honestly...) -
Check the tracking/ alignment as a first point of call - changing the wheels can easily knock things out, especially when changing wheel sizes as well. It could well be the run-flat tyres anyway, but also bear in mind that a lower profile tyre would affect the feeling too (assuming you've gone from 19" to 20" wheels with lower profile tyres).

That'll be an interesting conversation to have with the insurance company... Also glad to see that social distancing was appropriately observed at all times. That's an awful lot of stupid in one video.

Isn't that what Nissan do with cars released under the Z badge though? The 350Z concept was announced in 1997 or 1998, didn't go into production until half a decade later. The 370Z took a billionty years to make it to production too

I’ve suggested it before and I’ll suggest it again, if you can’t cope with me “trolling” (read, offering an alternative opinion to) you, then just block me. Please. Nice of you to tell me what I practice, but as usual your comments have very little element of accuracy to them.

If the wheels are off and horizontal it’s easier to spread with a brush, but yes otherwise using a brush can be a bit messy.
-
It depends what product I'm using, but I always go with either a detailing brush (clicky) or kitchen roll wrapped around the finger to spread it evenly (usually on lower profile tyres where the brush doesn't work so well). Sponge based aplicatiors always fall apart sooner rather than later and open cell sponges will absorb more product than they spread, so I just don't use them at all any more. I have one brush that I've used for probably close to a 500 applications (complete guesstimate) now and it's still going strong, whereas sponges tend to last no more 2-3 dozen applications at best. Kitchen roll is usually a last resort for me though.

I don't know about spare leather for a smple, but I'm pretty certain Ricey will be able to point you in the right direction to get a good colour match - he's definitely done Alezan seats himself before, and I highly suspect that Buffalo et al will have something that's the right colour already, albeit named something else most likely.

You might see a troll, but you missed the point. £5 of kitchen roll is a lot of kitchen roll, thus a lot of applications. Granted you're unlikely to use a single sheet more than once, but it's still a lot uses before you spend any money on more. Even the branded stff you're looking at ~400 sheets for your £5, and even assuming you use 1 sheet per wheel per application, that's still 100 applications. At least. With £2 change from the sponge linked previously. So who's trolling exactly? I maintain £5 of kitchen roll will last just as long as the £7 sponge linked above. I guarantee a brush will outlast any sponge-type applicator. 14 sponges, making at least 168 "applicators" will also outlast one cut into 2.

Or kitchen roll, any brush or a 50p sponge from Halfords cut into a billionty applicators. But sure, spend a fiver on it having cheaped out in the product.

That's once more than I've cleaned my Z in the same time.

Nanolex is a good brand with a decent reputation. There's still a few products that they could use - if they're using Wheel Sealant, I'd save the cash and do it yourself. If they're using Si3D or better (SiShield, Si3D HD or Si3D Max) then it would be more worth it. Is the detailer accredited (https://nanolexstore.co.uk/pages/approved-centres)?
-
It is easy to use but not as durable as C5, which isn’t as intimidating as it may seem. This isn’t bad as an alternative but a couple of compromises between the two.
-
You're looking at £5 worth of product per wheel for the amateur stuff; Multiple layers of of a decent pro coating. Plus time, plus heat curing, plus disposables (applicators, cloths, etc). £25 per wheel isn't horrendous... depending on what they propose to use and how good they actually, of course. If you're doing them yourself, C5 is difficult to beat really. If you're paying someone else to do it, make sure you know what they're using and how good they are before you hand over your hard earned.

Fastest production car in the World (331mph)

Well, that didn't last long at all. -
Until the battery runs out, then you’ve got no Netflix or transport...

It's not the principal, it's the execution.
-
And a car that brags about taking styling cues from 40-60 years ago isn’t?!
-
Bilt Hamber Dynax is better, but I concur with the rest of that of tat post.

Complaining that Bugatti didn't actually set a record on technicality and therefore their benchmark is null and void... and then going out to beat it anyway sounds like top notch twattery to me. So; fitting. -

And Nissan will finally have released the ZP’s replacement. Another rebodied 370z with a decade old battery tech. Or something equally cutting edge. Again. -
