  1. After thinking, that looks like an f'ing pile of sh%t - I wondered where that number came from
  2. Just thinking, I guess you can still have the OEM seats and still use harnesses right ? I know it might not be ideal but if you only do a few track days it'll be better with a harness to keep you locked in a bit more. (for myself, I'm going to roll with a CG Lock to start with)
  3. 11 is for manual with open diff 13 is for manual with vlsd Is that to do with the housing for the diff, rather than what the new one does ?
  4. Cheers mate, I've not checked them out yet but I'll post up a few pic's of whatever I discover. It's not a complaint or something I feel, just thought I'd mention this on it's own well deserved thread
  5. Yep will be buying one of these with them also. Was so annoyed when it snapped. Even if you do snap the cable, it would take 5 mins to just repair it rather than bin the headphone
  6. Whats the difference between 11 & 13 ?
  7. Having just fitted the Eibach ARB's on the weekend I thought I'd ask about this (Bennett, I know you're watching!!! ). So I didn't get a second to even look at them after torquing up and heading off for my MOT. I presume the ends should be parallel to the ground ? Some talk about it here which sounds about right to me: http://forum.miata.n...ad.php?t=451131 Note: I'll be doing this when the car is on a ramp
  8. I really want one of these Mines lips, they look like an OEM option, suit the car nicely without being OTT.
  9. I'm sure it'll go like stink but I personally don't like the design, their cars are all looking samey now. A lot like Lotus using the same platform for everything, they just don't differ enough except in power. The P1, if you've seen it is tiny, just seemed a bit underwhelming (well until you drive it of course ) to me as I could see it's a (extremely modified) 12C. Anyway, I'll shut up. http://sniffpetrol.com/2015/03/31/new-sports-car-boasts-f1-know-how/#.VRp1KPnF98G
  10. (oooh I can't stand portrait vidoes )
  11. Here are the links to the v10 though Sounds pretty nice eh.
  12. It could easily have those little holder things welded on like the photo's grundy popped up. Looks like it's nearly there, and more solid than those ones.
  13. Although not quite as awesome as that, a friend from some years ago popped the R32 engine in an Elise. I did some (crappy) vids but the noise comes out ok at least:
  14. spudy - just get it taken to a decent independent, Japex seem to have a good reputation and aren't far away from you: http://www.japexperformance.co.uk/servicesandrepairs.html Unit 3 Happy Valley Industrial Park Primrose Hill Kings Langley WD4 8HD
  15. If they were any good, a lot more people would use them... Just get a rotary or a DA
  16. Yeah just some guff in the wind to be honest. I personally think someone has accidentally deleted the edits, so just buying time whilst off air
  17. http://www.carsceneuk.com/?p=11553 I personally don't really care about what happens, sure it's a fun entertaining show but the best car stuff is on youtube now. The only annoying thing if it's on Sky... adverts
  18. I've just seen a thread that made me twitch and feel all weird. I had to bump this up.
  19. So that you don't brake the cable on the actual headphones/earphones (better on planes) - just buy a small extension cable or two.

    Tyres need to say MPSS though
  21. My very kind mother got me a Dodo Juice - Spin Doctor rotary one Christmas, I really like it !
  22. I remember this from a few years ago - I enjoy cleaning the car myself, wouldn't dream of using a car wash place, machine or underpaid chaps...
  23. I had the pleasure of driving a very, very nice NSX around my local roads yesterday and one of the many things which stood out to me was the beautifully short, precise gear shift. So yep, now I want a short shifter. I'm slightly unsure as to which one to go for, the Stillen one sounds like it's very well built and nearly 60% shorter throw ! Or, as a couple of you have had the B&M, this could be good but it's around 33% shorter (and I hear conflicting thoughts about how it rattles or generally a POS). However, I wonder if it was re-designed as a couple of you guys rated it ?
  24. That's cool - and the more I learn about working on cars the more logical most of it seems to be "just a bunch of bolts" but my understanding is mostly theoretical - I need to practice getting my hands dirty! Having the correct tools… that's the other area I'm lacking! Ho hum! Easter weekend coming up, so I shall certainly be back down, if you're free, we can meet up. I can show you the bits and pieces I've bought to work on the car but inevitably there are always things which are best left to the pro's
  25. Ahh I had assumed for some reason you had done tons of work on the car yourself, doh. No I've not done it before but it's just a bunch of bolts . I've got the tools to make it a cinch but if it's in the safe hands of Jez, I'd get him to do it as it would probably take us 5+ hours going slowly and carefully
