  1. A mate of mine has had one of these diffusers for years and swears by it. It gives an audible warning if you are targeted and allows you to drop your speed.
  2. Interesting news from Phillip Island, apparently Stoner will be testing the current Honda, if he is on the pace, there just "may" be a return on the cards.
  3. About $5000 plus shipping, duty etc
  4. In a nutshell and desperately not trying to be sexist, tv Is geared towards the female audience. The conversations between my sister (god rest her soul) and mum about, strictly, dancing on ice, xfactor, britains got talent, celebrity, towie etc, let alone the chat about story lines of the myriad of soaps was enough to numb my brain, but they loved it, the scandal, the gossip, they revelled in it on a daily basis.
  5. I get the bag thing, on VIP rides, but not on a sports car
  6. Have a look through here, good 2nd hand selection of Japan Racing option if you fancy new: www.jdmdistro.com
  7. Very interested to see what the change of tyre manufacturer makes next year, i think they were testing on Monday if the typhoon stayed away, i guess with most single tyre make series it all depends who gets the tyre to work best, as Honda have this year! Its taken over half the season for Lorenzo to get his head or bike around them! Looking forward to seeing Suzuki back thats for sure and hoping the Ducatis manage to get the harder tyre to work
  8. Another season for broken records, youngest rider to win two consecutive world championships, since the legendary Hailwood., the boys got talent and we have witnessed history in a fashion!! Really hoping Danni gets 2nd actually, but Jorge has seemed to find some late season form like last year. Going to plumb for, Dani, Jorge & Valentino
  9. I dont really miss any of them, apart from maybe my first car for sentimental value. The only other reason would be the value some of them have reached now, for example, 2 bay window campers i had, worth a relative fortune now and ironically probably the worst things i have ever owned!! Unless it was something like that, which i just couldnt justify spending, i would just buy another if i missed it!
  10. But still average
  11. Cant see Vettel moving from one average car (this year) to another average car (Ferrari), so perhaps McLaren have something up their sleeves to have tempted him, unless of course its all about the ££££££??
  12. Pretty sure they are DoLuck Double Six, rare as hen teeth
  13. Funny that has electric and heated sports seats AND Sparco bucket seats, lol
  14. Miguel from Newera Imports managed to get his hands on all the cars from the first F&F, i remember them being up for sale, though they were no where near that sum, seem to vaguely remember figures of £20 - £25k upwards pending on which car. I also recall the green Touran out of Tokyo Drift being advertised a few years back. I think they have a number of cars that look identical but only one has the full monty, i.e engine work and all the spec.
  15. Save you the trouble, there is one hanging in my garage right now any more pictures ? Its all carbon including the mounts.
  16. I tried switching to a new converter and still did the same thing, the gauge pod followed the speedo by the way, so same as yours. I then took the converter out so it would just run in km's as a test for a week, speedo worked fine so presumed it was the chip, bought some UK clocks (£100 ish i think) and worked fine ever since, so if i was you, would try the same process to be sure.
  17. I know the 2jz is highly regarded as one of the most bullet proof engines out there but as said above, unless you have one lying around that is already running decent hp (that will cost a pretty packet if it isnt), i would just go down the forged route and fi the V6, unless of course its something you enjoy doing and fancy a project. I would also feel far more secure building up a V6 from scratch with new parts than buying a 2nd hand 2jz which you have no idea of its history, unless of course its a recent build itself.
  18. If you go to a decent sprayer/bodyshop they will do this for you, but would imagine the prices will be similar to the link but just in £'s, so expect anything from £250 - £400 pending on what you want done and i doubt there will be many that would want to pay that realistically.
  19. Awesome thing, so almost did this on mk1, but at that price you might has well have an Rx7 at half the cost imho, would also be dubious of 500+ hp on 880cc injectors all round, most guys run 1680cc secondaries minimum to get those sort of numbers
  20. no advisories is always worth a post mate Its all so new to me, haha, usually would be skulking back home with pretty much a hard backed copy of failings and some advisories thrown in for good measure Like the time i melted the exhaust probe tester into submission trying to get one of the B*****T things threw emissions, £95 later for a new probe and with the aid of a 2" piece of broom handle and an increasingly larger drilled diameter hole in the air pump tube we grabbed a green reading, and that was std twin turbo, at least with a single conversion you could use the trickery of the Apexi ecu to get it through, just
  21. Went in, passed: no advisories, no beads of sweat, no other cost, no worrying for weeks before! Whilst that may not seem worthy of a post, try owning a variety of Rx7's for a decade and you will know exactly how i feel
  22. Save you the trouble, there is one hanging in my garage right now
  23. because rota are replica? if so so are Axe Not at all, who rattled your cage?
  24. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=30900
  25. I say JC because he is the one coping the flack and your valid point is probably another good reason not to burn him at the stake
