Yeah, that's where the state falls foul of its own altruistic intentions. "We don't want to ban things outright chaps, you know these fags/booze/unhealthy foods? They do chip in a few quid." Plus it's not like prohibiting anything popular has ever actually made consumers take a long, hard look at themselves and quit . It just drives prices up, activity goes out of the sight of the tax man and into organised crime. Prohibition was a good idea in the US for all of about 5 minutes, the war on drugs has been being lost for at least 30 years and prostitution has been around since currency was invented!

Whatever the insane thinking behind it, it's damn cowardly.

Thanks mate, love the wheel. I didn't polish or seal anything, they're dirty underneath things and made to be in the firing line I'm a regular CC user, so I was operating it as I have in the past. I have had it flash a couple of times on the dash in the past when I've tried to activate it, in the "I know you want it on, but something's not right" way, but not had that for ages. Today it didn't respond at all

Fitted Eibach ARBs and Whiteline drop links from Torqen today, friendly and speedy service, very helpful with my queries. Thanks!

Thanks for the Tein springs and Bilstein shocks which went on very nicely today, not to mention the handling of my incessant questions

Hope it's not as bad as it sounds and they catch the swine. Why can't everyone just get along

The AC is all good, unless you're commute is relatively short - 10/15 mins. I supported the AC with a similar sized silicone gel bag under the passenger seat (away from air bag leads) and rotated it with another one kept indoors. If the weather goes really grim pop the rotation bag in the boot for double end action.

So this lot has been a while getting on to The Shark, and I was so excited I forgot to take any decent pics during the install Cruised over to Grinspeed in Leyland to get: - Eibach ARBs and Whiteline Drop Links fitted (thank you Torqen) - Tein S Springs & Billstein B6 Dampers fitted (thank you Clark Motorsport) - re-trimmed wheel fitted (thank you Jack Royal) - some other stuff there wasn't time for today and will wait until my next Service. - one last thing, nailed the MOT as well, no advisories I also got see what happens on the inside oily bits when a Civic eats its own gearbox, which was both educational and very impressive (in a strange way) at the same time. Big thanks to Lee & Stevie at Grinspeed, for the service, bantz, education and brews - they are fantastic. If you're north west, go see them. All shiny and new and colourful at the back Sorry for the rubs pic, but it is was the only I could get with everything squeezed in, up front. Coincidentally, the road where I made my mind up to do the suspension mods was only a short detour on the way home, so I had a small chance to see what's what. Sadly it's a hurricane outside today so it was only a glimpse. Looking forward to a crisp, dry, cold day sometime soon for further testing. All was not lost though. The tricky repetitive stretch of B-road bumps which convinced me to make the changes were just as bumpy as before, but the car never felt like it was about to bounce off and waft away. It felt fresher, a little firmer and more positive. As I've broken all the rules and changed a number of handling components all at once, I couldn't possibly say with any scientifcness (it's a word, look it up) what has done what to what, but I'm guessing the Billis helped with the bumps and the ARBs with the going round bendy bits (stop me if my race track talk gets too technical ). It might simply be putting in new and getting rid of old OEM stuff (11 years) that makes the difference. The Shark has spent a bit of it's life (before me) just standing around, which I don't think helps these bits - it just felt newerer all round on the way home, even factoring in my thoughts on self-justifying the not insignificant outlay. Then another bit I've been looking forward to for some time now, the bit you use nearly every time you drive. The wheel is such a nice lift to the cockpit, it brings it a little more up-to-date and the extra girth is very pleasing in the palm - ooo err. Not having shiny flat leather is a real treat, as are the thumb holders. I'd urge anyone to get their wheel re-trimmed if they want a mod to appreciate every day - just got to keep it in this condition now. Very pleasing day all in all, nearly cured my Zeditus entirely. The only downside is that although the headunit controls are tickety boo, the Cruise Control has gone on strike, which I didn't notice until I was on the motorway home - any ideas anyone?

Bargain at £52 and twelvety pence!

It's crazy/ To think my first laptop only had a 9.5" screen It did kill all the aliens in Independence Day though

First one of their products for a while I've not been tempted by, but yet to see one in the flesh, they look huge! Done a MBP recently, so must try and be sensible to some degree

Cracking looking Zed, my DE wasn't much cheaper than this a couple of years ago. GLWTS.

Wooohooo new buttons! I'm going to press them all This place is amazing, great to have the chance to chip in, thanks Team

If it's Nismo it shouldn't cause you any pain. I think you'd be bonkers to get her opened up and pay all that labour and not do it at the same time

It's not, err chickens is it? Cluck cluck cluck

Got all my clutch and flywheel goodies from Ewen @ Clarks. Well worth a PM.

Does Matt have to be so surprised that a nicely modified Zed can be a great balance of fun, grunt, grip, balance and daily drive-ability? Cool vid. I wish that drive was my commute

I don't think it falls under political correctness gone mad but it is certainly nanny state gone mad. The increase in frequency of creating legislation has gone berserk in the last 30 years. Particularly the knee jerk stuff. A plane is flown into a moutain by a madman, new regulations are rushed out. Obesity is on the rise, new labelling and rules on advertising are dished out. Vaping expands exponentially, restrictions are dreamed up. To name a few of the most recent hot topics. It's not one particular party or another, it's a change in culture; partly IMO due to the explosion in instant, always on access to media and the associated opinions and also an abdication of responsiblity away from the person. "I did X, it was wrong, I knew it, but it was because of Y. I am a victim too, Where's my compo from Q?" Event A happens, initial outrage/concern, person/people group B are found to be responsbile, people in charge of regulating environment where Event A occurred are under enourmous pressure to react and/or legislate or be labelled "soft on A". The excitement around legal highs is a classic contemporary example, no one can just say no to them and be responsilbe for thier own decisions, it needs a law to be made for each new one that appears, or the government is "soft on drugs". Next time there's an election, watch out for the dramatic increase in "public service/awareness advertising", reminding people how good a job the government is doing. Between Q4 2014 and Q1 2015, advertising spending by some departments rocketed from £2m pcm to £10m pcm. That's not a dig at the Tory/Lib Dem coalition, because this is a cross-party issue and something that's sadly here to stay.

Cool. You'll be able to mill regular donuts into the weird ring ones!

Proppa sick DA skillz! Do you own a car boat? (See bottom pic reflection)

Nice Zed and nice mods

Great to see another mega update To think of the time I could save you though... Smells like ripe plums, fresh from the branch in a Japanese orchard. Cleans like a mutha.

Hope it wasn't this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A3S1RGU/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_1#productDetails I buffed my lights to near perfection and hoped it would do the trick, but they've started to go again Going for an expensive gtechniq effort next. Yeah it is, ok....my lights aren't that bad, hopefully it might work!? I'd suggest doing at least a couple of coats, with a suitable curing time in between - good luck
