  1. Like or not, quality of finish is superb Lee
  2. Ah i remember the rx7 veilside fortune kitted cars that would come up for sale, same as this, for absolutely ridiculous asking prices, usually one a year or so and month after month the price would come down and down. Sadly its just not cheap to do and owners reflect that in their price, which is odd when your putting on a kit that is pretty much universally disliked. Sorry Lee least you are doing the job properly P.s post up some pics of your Kazama kitted Rx
  3. The codes will tell you, would be complete guesswork without them.
  4. I admire your values Stu, i really do. It seems some people just dont want to let go of racism though, white and black, no matter what their achievements in life. I am not suggesting heads should be buried in sand, if racism is encountered it should be challenged but to look for it where it is not, is doing no favours to the healing process.
  5. Kevlar is usually pricey but i wont say no if its sub £200
  6. Apologies, your talking talking boot lid of course. So forget the plastic welding, again filler will work but may sag over time, otherwise its a couple of blobs of weld and grind flat/skim with filler.
  7. I would imagine the cost of £280 for what is effectively a flat piece of grp with some channels/ducts in and not zed specific probably put people off. I know some cad models were done but think it was priced in line with the Apr one and in reality you could achieve a similar results with a sheet of £15 ply as per what Ben has done, check out his build thread. Saying that i would have ordered one if the price was right
  8. Just come out with it if you want to say you think I am racist. The reason I repeat it is because its TRUE and FACT, as pointed out in the many sensible comments in this thread. So the application is received, what happens when they have to sit down for interview? Do you think its fair a person of colour gets a job over a better suited white applicant? Do you think its fair a person of colour gets a roof over their head than a more needy white person? You are very accurate in what you say, also correct, but in this instance of the ops thread you will always have people throwing around the race card, when perhaps race has zero to do with it, so hows that combated?
  9. And that is why the world cant be "equal" as it is no longer about the best person for the task (in whatever context) but all about the colour of your skin, which has no bearing on anything, except for the people who want it to be, racists and pc brigade alike. Its a viscous circle. Incidentally, its the same in social housing, a certain % must be allocated to minorities, not the ones most in need.
  10. Each to their own, but, the only way I could justify buying a new car is if I was in a position to comfortable loose the depreciation over however many years, regardless of whether the payments are affordable. In no way is it it going to be "cheap" motoring, if you sat down and worked out how much it will actually cost you and I am not talking about £350 per month, it would probably scare the sh*t out of you. Lets say you keep it 5 years, £21k of payments, £12k of deposit gone and possibly a defecit on the balloon. It wouldn't be for me thats for sure.
  11. Absolutely, but not when some daft bint is making accusations based on nothing more than her own issues with race and probably a lot do with hubby not being nominated
  12. And where is the evidence of rasicm? Or is automatically racist as it not equal?
  13. Did you come up with this on your own or read it on a t-shirt? Great attitude Something can't be made perfect, so it's pointless to try and improve it. If everyone thought like that we'd all still be living in caves, eating raw meat with a life expectancy of 23 All by myself thanks Its not an attitude, its just reality and whilst equality is a lovely thought, quite frankly, its bo$$cks, which you conviently avoided by not answering who she rather be, wealthy and black or white and living in a trailer park? Back to the topic at hand, has Jada or her husband for that matter suffered for the colour of their skin
  14. I think this was the ops (and others) point SS, where is the evidence there is clear and defined racism in the Oscar choices by means of the board? It was two prominent black actors having a pop. America have a black president ffs and STILL people seem to want to find places where things arent equal. As much as your points are valid, the world is not an equal place, it never has been and never will be. Ask Jada what she would prefer to be, a incredibly wealthy black woman or some white us female citizen living in a trailer park and what do you think the answer would be....and then where is the equality in that? Some people just want the moon on a stick
  15. It must be keep him awake at night thinking about how badly he has done for himself as a down trodden black man same for Jada as it happens
  16. Are you sure they are chrome and not polished ally? Not that it really makes any difference to cleaning, but if they are chrome it will be easier to polish them up with some autosol etc
  17. Good article, I am sure they are taking it very seriously, however, to post in simple terms, the met police are racist is no different to saying muslims are terrorists, whether its said tongue in cheek, sarcasm or any other way, its just not acceptable
  18. Slow progress but trying to get some minor bits complete. After not being happy with wrapping the steering wheel control inserts/fascias and instrument surround in the same brushed black style, they are just too small and with the varying holes i couldnt get a satisfactory finish. So, being they are actually metal i dropped them all off at the anodisers today to be stripped, rebrush finished and black anodised, all for the grand price of £20, so that will see an end to the aluminium highlights in the car. Hopefully some pics by the end of the week Imminent full wrap too
  19. Quite like the digicam one, didnt make it look quite so fugly Shame really both on the 350z and Gtr colour options were so very limited
  20. Sarcasm is usually followed by a and if a white person on here made similar comments (controversial), you can be sure as hell it would be reported
  21. Pretty much what I said earlier, nothing to do with skin colour, maybe they just isnt any decent black actors or in roles worthy of nomination. You also know what will happen next year, there will be some nominees regardless of talent and you can be sure a black actor will win soon or there will be more asperations cast. I think people just need to grow a backbone and in cases where racism really isnt the topic, they just need to be told straight, but everyone is just too scared, look at the flack CR took for her comments. Plus you also have bobby above who thinks whites are priviledged and gangzoom suggesting the met police are racist, so your doomed, its a perpetual circle that isnt going away.
  22. If you have the old stuff I would put it back on and put a few more £ towards your new car from selling the parts, although I wouldnt be at all worried about buying modified.
