Fitted today - in the crappy rain - easy to do although gonna have to get those screws done properly that attach the heat shield to the air intake funnel when its not raining so heavy. Taking her for a run in a bit - just reving the engine i can hear a change in the note which sounds excellent :-) bring on a nice drive to test it out properly. Cheers Tarmac

that was quite a description of the japspeed lol thanks. dont worry got the jwt from tarmac. fitting it tomorrow so cannot wait to hear it

well he did the right thing. totally mad though.

Welcome Newport here

paranoia for me means always torquing rather than hand tightening. used to hand tighten the sump nut on my bike and very nearly stripped the thread the one day when I felt it wasn't right enough. cant get it wrong with a torque wrench now. Well hopefully not lol

I've not used kwik fit in a long long time because the one around here tried to rip me off. Not surprised to hear you had a similar experience. They do seem to like creating more work than actually needs doing. agree it's a fairly easy job but depends on your confidence to do it and having some tools.

cheers as well derz. will look into it tonight now. see if a mate in work wants to come along as well.

that sounds like good advice cheers mate. It's a cracking forum here. I've not been on long but there's tonnes of knowledge. will have a look around for that clip of your barrelled destroying

sounds good. Been looking around at some drifting info. I wouldn't have a clue myself since this is my first rwd car. It does look seriously good fun though. like the video as well. You've got some good skills as far as I'm concerned! so coilovers are a definite requirement you'd say? I'd guess that really just practicing with the standard car is sufficient to start. I'm guessing there's track days for this?

welcome Out of interest what kind of setup changes did you make to the zed for the drifting?

cool. Thanks mate. Blue is obviously the best colour then tarmac I'd def like to order one then if you still have them in Stock. would I need to order the oil for it now as well or can that wait.

hi decided to take the jump and get one of these. might be a daft question but do you have a choice over the colour of the filter cone. just wondered if there was a blue one.

personal experience have found motorcycle cops to be much more reasonable as opposed to the car based ones. depends on the copper though I guess.

stupid question possibly but they test the handbrake efficiency on the road for the mot test do they? Because I know I've read that they can't test the rear braking on the rollers due to the diff?

I want an LFA now! great car.

just Incase anyone ever searches for this I did all the reset procedures. been driving her around including given her a bit of gas at times and so far so good. No errors and no more eml.

true its up to both sides government and individual drivers. something like 2000 deaths last year on the roads in the UK which ain't bad though when you consider the number of drivers on the road and also the number that speed.

had to surrender my photo license when I renewed it all at the post office. to be honest works out the same cost plus it's all done there and then including new photos. had the new one back and the new paper part (which I'd lost) after about 7 days.

it should be a common sense thing but unfortunately like the previous example some local authorities have none.

brilliant win for Italy! fantastic. totally deserved it as well.

agree that I'd be worried about changing rural 60s down to slower speeds just for the sake of it. Most 30s I can think of I wouldn't mind being 20 however there are some that shouldn't even be 30 at the mo and would be more suited to 40 so a blanket 20 I don't think is right. better to assess roads individually. its the only way to do it properly but guess that means spending money and the government (local authorities) can't normally be bothered to do things right.

hugely lucky like you said. wierd what you said about them being on your bumper as well because I had a police car follow me last week. from a roundabout onto a dual carriage way up to 70 mph and at 70 they were no more than 2 car lengths behind me for about a mile. way to close in my opinion and if I'd had to slam the brakes on they would have been straight into the back of me. stupid really. But back to the point I can imagine how relieved you must have felt! The officer must have been feeling generous to say the least.

also just wondering worth doing the other pedal tricks to reset the accelerator, throttle position settings? bit confused on the one reset I think for the throttle position since it says about making sure the throttle position changes during the one 10 second gap but does that mean pushing the accelerator pedal?

ok done the pedal dance. good fun lol. I get two slow flashes - gap - one flash - gap - three fast flashes - gap - five fast flashes then repeats. according to codes I've seen that's a throttle position sensor. just wanted to check if people agree. cleared the code and so far it's not come back seems ok. but I reckon I'll need to check prices for one of these. They hard to replace?

the colour on that zed is horrible. why pick that colour
