  1. Maybe you should test on someone with an aftermarket spoiler like the nismo etc as the "violent" spring maybe what is required to pop the heavy boot. I am having a GT spoiler installed so obviously concerned. Exactly what I was thinking
  2. So am I reading this right and it's possible with the engine in situ?
  3. Mishimoto do all the reservoir tanks
  4. Yup, bought a headlight from them, they sent the wrong side and didn't have the correct one. They did send me a GTR torch to make up for the mistake, though
  5. I'll have one early next week once I get the bumper back and can remove it
  6. You're 100% right, it's harder with black cars. I'm going the carbon route where pretty much everything I change will be made from it. I'm currently having a V2 front bumper with carbon lip and canards fitted, which should look pretty decent, but still not even close to how it would look on pretty much any other coloured Zed. Have a look at Wasso's, he has the V2 front with black painted canards and lip on his azure, looks amazing. then look at GT4ZED's. He has the same bumper as mine on a black zed. Still looks great, but doesn't stand out as easily as other lighter colours. I think the main trick to a black car is fitting a nice kit and working the paint until it reflects like a mirror. No other colour will have the reflection capabilities of black, except chrome maybe lol
  7. I can see where Ricey is coming from and I agree, but unfortunately or maybe fortunately, most of us will never have to eat the burger to find out if we get a spout of VD or not. Currently I'm with Admiral and I'm pretty happy, just because they provide the best price to allow me to drive on the road legally. Now a point will arrive with my car that Admiral will say no, due to the amount of modifications and I'll have to go on the long annoying hunt for a specialist insurer who will quote for Northern Ireland and not ass rape me at the same time. So of course I will go for the best/cheapest fully comp offer with the various add ons I may require and I'll be happy. But if either this year or in a year somewhere down the line something happens to the car and an insurance claim has to be made, only then will I really see what mettle either Admiral or another insurer is made of. You'll notice that I said I'm "pretty happy" with Admiral, as apposed to "happy". Well, thats because they don't actually insure your modifications. If I spashed out £3k on a set of Volks, declared them to Admiral, paid the extra premium and they got stolen, I wouldn't get jack squat except a set of OEM 18's to roll on, because thats what the car has as standard. It's crap, but thats how they work and how they provide low quotes. However if I went with a more specialised insurer, the quote would be higher that Admiral, but if the worst happened to my Volks, i'd get a new set, simples! So I agree with Ricey that shouting from the roof tops about a cheap insurance quote doesn't really mean much and is kind of like having an appreciation thread based on a 99p cheeseburger with not much content, compared to a £9.50 double decked 12oz fillet burger with cheese, jalapeños and salsa. But, as I said before, hopefully none of us get to find out how much mettle our insurance policies/underwriters have, but drive safely in the knowledge that if something does happen, they have our back, after all, thats what we're paying for.
  8. This is the reason I may do it also, but I'm looking into actual carbon fibre first.
  9. Great looking pictures, Neil Shame the calendar entry has closed.
  10. It'll look nearly invisible on a black car unlike a lighter car. Still something I may do as it's much cheaper than spraying.
  11. Not sure if it is or ifs taken a little soft or maybe photobucket compression didn't agree too well with it. Honestly can't say without seeing the original. As for number 2, who owns that car? I agree with LRF4N about the angle, it's also a little too close to the corner for my liking. Remember the Rule of Thirds!
  12. I hate that one. Looks overprocessed and the massive yellow haze on the LHS distracts the eye from the overall composition, which is actually very good. All IMHO, IANAP etc. I see your point, it is a little "Instagram" but I think the only other that comes close is number 9. It's composed very well, but for me would be better without people in it. But, yes, as you mentioned first, this is only my opinion, taking into account what I look for in a picture.
  13. I knew there was a 3 in there somewhere lol Roughly how much would a tweak cost if the uprev was already performed and someone changed something a few months later and wanted it dialed in?
  14. The ecu learns how the car is driven and adjusts accordingly, performing this reset sets it back to day one and it's now learning how you drive.
  15. To the best if my knowledge and what I've read here a few times, it only states that if you have washers, they must work
  16. If number 3 doesn't win this month, next years should definitely be composed entirely by the Rev!
  17. The gasket is a fine tinny metal, just be careful not to crease it.
  18. KyleR

    W brace?

    R35LEE has a few I think and also try ZMANALEX
  19. I wasn't aware the 350 had a master key, I thought it was just the 2 keys plus a valet one…?
  20. Where does it say is valid up to 3 remaps? No idea, it's just something that has stuck in my head for a while ago. Hopefully one of the Uprev dealers will be along shortly to correct me if I am wrong
