Stutopia

Pretty quiet on the modding front except I got shot of the battered OEM nuts and fitted some rather fetching blue ones. FIT! I also bought a couple of suede effect thongs, two Subaru key rings and got busy in my backseat.

I had a real soft spot for the 406 Coupe when I was a teenager.

I've removed your phone number because it's a publicly viewable page and bots crawl the internet looking for these things.

It's archived, I've had PM intercourse with the OP. Sorted

I'm not seeing this on Safari desktop or mobile. Could you pop up a screenshot please mate?

This should be their bread and butter, cleans up air in towns and no range anxiety, makes perfect sense when you've got an emergency/fun real car too.

Anyone fancy making this into two groups of 4? One slot available. Chance to drift the shizzle out of the CAT Caterham Dunno if you were serious or not @Keyser?

TBF it's a mint "classic" hot hatch, they've got a bit of following. It wouldn't take my £16k mind, it'd need to be an XR2i to tempt me.

They should put one of each of the top 4 on each corner and get the best of all worlds. Idiots.

My Driver Training last week was the first time I've given the MPS4's any stick and they were superb throughout. We had everything from bone dry mile straight threshold braking to monsoon rain drifting and I was amazed (particularly in the wet) how much flat out abuse you could give them before they gave up grip completely. They also performed well on the handling circuit, where it started dry, rained and left us with one sopping wet corner as all the others dried out. The varying conditions weren't a problem. Didn't even lose that much tread, maybe 1mm

The plenum spacer mod you see on here is an insert that raises the upper plenum approx 8mm, it deals with a perceived design short fall where one cylinder gets less than optimal air. It's one of the classic 350z breather mods (along with exhaust, high flow cats, de-cats) that are done prior to an up rev remap to squeeze a few more ponies out the engine. Here's an example - https://h-dev.co.uk/product/h-dev-350z-intake-plenum-spacer-kit-vq35de/?v=79cba1185463 - shop around the traders on here, there is bound to be a deal to be had somewhere. https://www.torqen.uk/118-plenum-spacers https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/nissan/nissan-350z/motordyne-nissan-350z-5-16-basic-plenum-spacer.html

Dont suppose these are 16mm x 1.5 are they?

@Wasso you were making eyes at the Nismo gas pedal when we chatted the other day

Bargain for that lot

@Mikevv you've got a temp sig whilst we look into why you were able to post such a massive image in your sig, way above the 500x100 limit

If I may be so bold, the trick to a half decent looking 500x100 signature is to have a photo which is naturally close to a 5:1 aspect ratio, yours (though a good pic) is more like 3:4. If you've got pics that are more landscape, post a couple up and I'll have a play if you want.

It's under investigation.

Is this the sort of size you're after? 75x100 100x75 No idea

I'm an IT contractor, LTD. Check out Jobserve for contract jobs and do get agencies working for you too, Capita, Hays, etc. The best bit of advice I can give you is get a good specialist accountant who knows about contracting. I find compared to employed work you're expected to be more flexible and do more hours when needed, but the rates are good and if you can do a good job there often extensions available, so you don't change as often as you expect. Although the headline rates are apppealing, you do need to factor in Corporation Tax, VAT and also self assessment, so it's good to stock pile cash early on in order to be prepared for any tax bills and periods without work. Also if you end up working away, renting flats or hotel bills can be a wedge of your daily rate. Also, at the minute the whole contract world seems to be failing over itself for Agile people, so a qualification is super useful. Shoot me a PM with any questions.

And still I don't have either a ******* jet pack or hoverboard.

It's exactly the same as the recent VED u-turn on "low emission" diesels, they've realised what a disaster that was financially (and on air quality) and decided perhaps exemption wasn't right after all
