  1. You could always use Tapatalk on forums (Assuming you are using Phone / Tablet). It will let you upload a photo as standard. Or you could sign up for a Google+ account. More of a ball ache with tags and things, but it's what I've used to add photos before.
  2. I refuse to accept that I backed the wrong side. I think leaving the EU is on par as an idea with America building a wall across the Mexican border. Xenophobia and ignorance have won the day, yay for Great Britain. I'm as proud to be British today as I was English last week, when a few (Probably leave voters) were hurling bottles at French riot police. It's still to be seen what has actually been won by the leave voters, let's hope it's not a recession and higher prices for everything.

    Best MPSS prices

    Asda seem to have gone up considerably since I bought mine, so Tyre Leader or Love Tyres is a good shout.

    Asda, using the magic code you can find on the internet. Think I paid about £250 fitted a few months ago from them. I think the magic code is 1430 then any 7 digits of your choice and get's you 10% off - worth googling though rather than taking my word for it!
  5. OEM HR... although I am biased!
  6. or the MPSC2's...... http://www.michelin....lot-sport-cup-2 Was thinking the same and surprised a serial pedant like Dan didn't pick up on that!
  7. If its a carbon slam panel for a HR then it won't fit the DE. I can't 100% tell but just worth mentioning... I'm tempted by the Volks myself I'd take a wild guess that it is an HR slam panel, simply going on the number of panel filters for sale.
  8. If I wasn't getting married in 6 weeks, I'd have been all over those Volks! They are an absolute bargain for someone! GLWTS
  9. It wasn't terrible, but there is room for improvement. The old Top Gear took a while to seem natural too, you just have to look at the first few series where Clarkson is fairly wooden. They'll get used to the writing style and will be more relaxed in future shows.
  10. You should see the Facebook group, there's at least a post a fortnight about the same thing. I know it's a different culture and it's very hard for a gun-less society to understand... but I don't think a lot of the morons should be allowed access to vehicles, let alone automatic weapons. These are the same people that think increasing the number of guns owned would reduce gun related deaths too...
  11. Would love one of these. Interested to know how you get on with it over the coming weeks and months.
  12. You should write back and see if he can help you get your money out of Nigeria?
  13. Check on the US forums as well as there will probably be some people running this exact setup and you can see which offset / width works best for you. They look really nice btw!
  14. 2006 could be either a normal DE or a DE rev up (As 2006 was the year tthey switched to the facelift model). One of the ways to tell, without looking at the engine, is if yours has silver/metal aircon and heater controls? If it does it's a rev up, if not it's a DE.
  15. Don't be too hasty... there aren't many places that make the replica lips... A few factories in China. Although I'm sure Chris has the contacts and resources to get the better ones, there's no guarantee another one will fit better. Fitment is always likely to be an issue with a replica although that does look worse than a lot I've seen. I'm not trying to excuse the seller, but he may well believe that they did fit as he bought them in good faith. If you don't get people to test fit, then you end up in this situation. The guy may well be left with a load of stock that he now knows is basically worthless. At least you got your money back.
  16. I think you might be getting rev up and up rev confused. One is a 350z engine the other is the software used for remapping.
  17. Not to mention you'd save that in oil over a couple of years!
  18. Yes, mine unfortunately. That sucks mate. We were watching you go round the track and then you weren't anymore.
  19. Stiffer springs will mean that there is less suspension travel, although you always run the risk of a bit of rubbing with extreme lock when turning or going over big bumps. Teins are about the best for small drops (~18mm from memory) or you can get Eibachs which are around 30mm. At 30mm you may need to be looking at toe bolts and camber arms as well as the drop will put the wheels outside of Nissan camber tolerances. You also may need some camber to bring the wheels inside the arches with the lower ride height. There are also speed bumps etc. to think about!
  20. Google or http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350z_STILLEN_Power_Steering_Cooler_Kit/350Z-400735_.aspx
  21. We drove past that and also wondered what had happened. A lorry could be a good call as you'd think there would be another car parked up if it had rear ended a car. The damage was pretty significant, so must have hit reasonably hard.
  22. Was a really good day out. I arrived a bit late, so there was literally no one around on the stand. Managed to bump into Matt (Spatt) and I saw Grundy and some of the other #TeamTarmac guys, but no one else at all! Highlight for me was the v8 supercharged 370z BDC car... what a beast and the noise!!! Did anyone else see the poor black 350 that had an argument with a wall... and lost?
  23. Really? I can barely tell them from any other 3 series these days. I keep thinking this until I actually drive past one. Maybe it needs to be a striking colour, rather than grey or black, but the 4 exhausts and bonnet bulge really make it look far more aggressive than a normal 3 series (E92 anyway). I saw a Dakar edition the other day in the light yellow and it really was eye catching and sounded immense. Also, the fact you can pick a decent one up now for under £25k makes them a bit of a bargain really.
  24. Agree, that's not really what the Darwin awards are about. The poor kid was on a runway away from the public at least. Tragic that all too often, young, inexperienced drivers, find out the very hard way, why powerful cars (And very high speeds) should not be taken lightly. I grew up in the country and most of my friends has stuck a car into a tree or ditch by the time they were 18. Luckily, no one I knew was ever seriously hurt. I didn't pass my test until I was 28, but I know that if I'd had an M5 at 18, where I lived, I more than likely would have killed myself in it. Not because I'm a bad driver, but I was a lot less mature than I am now and the temptation to go stupidly fast would have been a lot harder to resist... although you could call that bad driving. A lot of the time people feel they are safe because they are in a big metal cage with belts and airbags. It's only when you see (And start to appreciate) the damage a 70mph impact can do and how hard it is to stop 1.5 tons of metal at high speed, that you start being more careful. I don't think a lot of people develop this until into their late 20's... hence why the insurance costs come down at this age.
  25. he normally has a set lying around waiting to be snapped up.
