  1. A really long thin seat? McLaren F1 central seat mod?
  2. Not and INGS... again, I could be wrong, but it looks like the Stillen front splitter minus the support things. Fairly sure Tarmac sells these? Edit: Linkage: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350z_STILLEN_Front_Splitter_OEM_Fascias/350Z-350zsplit.aspx
  3. We'll this escalated quickly.
  4. As Nissanman has said, that is a poverty spec 370z... nice colour though.
  5. Sadly, you'll be lucky to give it away. I changed mine to an HR version and couldn't get rid of my DE bonnet, so it's sat in my shed as I can't bear to just chuck it out!
  6. I'm guessing it's fast enough! Didn't the SS with 1200 hp do just over 270? I'd say it looks at least 10 mph faster, so probably 280+ ... utterly ridiculous.

    911 R

    Almost anything above the S models (Or GTS nowadays) seems to be aimed solely at millionaires who already own a few Porkers already. I know we don't complain about Lambo's or Ferrari's being out of "normal" people's price range, but a 911 seems like it should be more attainable somehow?

    911 R

    Yet another 911 I want but can't afford... What's the betting that these, like every other limited production run 911, are all bought by collectors and rarely see the light of day.
  9. What Stu said on both counts.
  10. Mask up, spray on a few thin layers... literally that simple. I am talentless and completely lacking patience and even I didn't manage to screw it up too much. You can even peel it off if you don't like it and start again. Not seen my car look like that for ages... or that clean..
  11. What I did... is probably very wrong... but worked... First I sprayed penetrating fluid on the bolts and then I used a large hammer/mallet to tap the spanner until it was loose enough to turn by hand.
  12. You only need one seat int he Zed surely?
  13. Basically, that he was the "Great Cornholio", that he came from lake Titicaca and needed TP for his "bunghole".
  14. I could be completely wrong, but I like to think that a windscreen isn't structurally integral?
  15. Parked right at the back, where I always go!
  16. I still don't think electric cars are the answer, at least not fully electric. Hydrogen is surely the answer, although a good few years behind the electric variants at the moment and the investment required to get hydrogen infrastructure in place for consumers.

    Ford Focus RS

    They do look nice on paper and in pictures (Especially the blue)... not seen one in the flesh though, but there is something about a 5 door hatch that is just so unappealing to me. 3 doors and may have put a deposit down already. 5 doors = parent mobile (Yes, I realise that the Lancia Delta had 5 doors - but think how much cooler it would have been with 3) 3 doors = hot hatch
  18. Put the old one back in... if it was replaced before it needed to be?
  19. Another nice article guys. Funnily enough I've been looking at e92 M3's today following reading another thread... now looking at 996's!
  20. Oooh! Does it involve fast spinny things?
  21. Needs a good clean, but getting there...
  22. Have you called and spoken to them? I did a quote last year for Gill's Beemer and they (Admiral) specifically asked about speed awareness courses. It was the reason I didn't renew with them the following year. The quote went up by about £40 as well which was a tad annoying, although it's to be expected. Just because it doesn't ask on the comparison website (or directly on the insurers website), doesn't mean it isn't in their small print... probably worth checking. It's unlikely to ever come out unless you had a serious accident, but as other's have said, you would have breached your insurance policy and lied to get insurance... not something you want to declare in later years when trying to get insurance as they generally take a much harsher view on people who've committed fraud over someone who's been on a naughty buy/girl course!
  23. No, binned it. To be fair it was nearly 4 years old and had started cracking a bit, so probably didn't have long left... I just like to be master of when I change and replace things. Jan is a bad month normally as tax and insurance were both due.
  24. Spotted out of the train window parked in a drive. Anyone on here?
