Stutopia

I have this HU, I popped a DVD in to test it after the install, not used it for moving images since. If the video aspect is what you're after I'd recommend watching something on it before spending your cash, the quality is fine for a display, but I'm not tempted to start taking popcorn with me in the car in case there's traffic.

I know what you mean but I think the headlamps are something ridiculous in price so you'll need yet another set of nuts to go baking with! Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Don't do what I did and go for a silver reverse bulb, it looks beeter by day but discharges a weak, pinkish light. Not good when you want a fog to shine a bright red light!

Glad you like them. I bought mine off ebay in america, not this particular link, but I think they may well be the same. These look less expensive than I think I paid, but same product I reckon. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item58a3989ea3 Alternatively, you can crank up the oven (if you've got the minerals to cook your clusters). I didn't. http://www.350z-uk.c...-oem-fog-light/

Well you've certainly given me some reading to do gang, thanks for the suggestions. The MR2 & MX5 are extremely intriguing, as are Starlet & Pulsar. The Mini is an interesting shout H5, especially with Keyser's blueprint being just a few clicks away, classic got me thinking - I've occasionally thought there might be a bargain dry state Mustang out there somewhere with my name on it...

Think the problem is i never zoomed in enough... You can fix that with some strategic cropping. Assuming the original image resolution will stand up to it.

I'd sooner spend a grand and have a "development" budget, 3k would have to be something a bit spesh. What if was to throw in a curve ball here? 4 seats just in case two isn't enough one day...

Well you wouldn't want to be seen with either of them, but if it was in the dark, I bet they'd both feel decent, once you got inside.

Can't believe how little you can pick them up for, especially MR2s. I used to love them as a kid. Anyone owned a Celica GT4, another car I had thing for a while back.

They're much sportier than I was thinking, thanks fellas, I'll go looking....

To think they believe us men are swayed by such primitive instincts into spending our money. We're better than that, we're not animals. Er, anyone need a Yamaha XT350 white plastic mud guard flap? I have one on order I don't need...

When I got the Zed and saw all the cool mods members do, I had big ideas for getting a bit greasy. A combination of her being my daily driver and me being too scared to break the car I've come to love, I've only done little bits 'n' pieces. The stuff I'd like to learn is going to require a sandbox car, something that can sit around when I have no budget, with zero pressure to finish it. I'm hoping for some suggestions for something cheap to buy, but most importantly, relatively easy to get to grips with for a learner. I think an old beetle might be a good starting point but I'd really appreciate suggestions from people who actually know their shizzle, over my guesswork... Thanks anyone who has any ideas along the lines of; upto 3k to buy (cheaper is better), easy to work on, cheapish parts, not massive in size, I'm not a brand snob, could be anything at all with 4 wheels and an owner community as good as this one

Came from a not so hot stock 1.2 Clio (with a few years break in between), the Zed test drive was probably the most scared I'd ever been behind the wheel. I'm still learning the limits after 6 months and an early fright on a wet roundabout, but I do have form with RWD, used to go karting a lot as a kid

I'd love to be stalked by a cougar. I'm thinking Sharon Stone or Jennifer Aniston...

Next time my contract runs out...

Awesome first car, I had "access" to a Renault 5 at that age, didn't even own it. Built in straight lines, it was like an isometric projection.

Cool as. What kind of job? Test driver Nismo? How did you find it?

+1 admiral, they gave me decent deal with no NCB and my mods haven't been hugely unreasonably priced (eg upto 20% increase in bhp, £100)

Nice knob. Did she handle it for you to make up for the wheels?

Cool vid. I'd so love to give this a try but I know what I'm like for getting carried away. It looked much more controlled than I'd imagined though, nice skills.

good luck with The Search

I find that if mine drop off from 35 (to say 31) the car feels quite different. For whatever reason mine don't seem to hold 35 for very long (any ideas anyone?). I've recently gone up to 36 (assuming I can trust the digital readout on the machine) and it feels good. Sometimes when I accelerate on say a roundabout when they're low, my ass feels the car just shift a little over - not slide, just shift a bit. I put it down to pressures and maybe the Michelin's have softer tyre walls than the Bridgestones I had before. Happy to be corrected though.

Is that the shadow of Bigfoot in the picture?

Is it ok to PM when the new Mac Pro lands please? I don't think 10-15% off the new Mac Pro rrp is going to make much of a difference, cannot see it costing less than £3000 when it finally arrives...even than I'm going to find it very hard to resist. May even work out cheaper to buy it over in the states when on holiday and carrying back in the hand luggage...it does look like a dust bin after all I like your thinking, spend £2k on on a holiday to California to save £500 on a MacPro. Any excuse for going back to Cali, Cali, Cali. I think it's going to be a legitimate business expense.
