  1. I find the abusive know all buyers quite amusing, i usually get the, whats your lowest you will take, give it to them and then you get, i can buy "whatever your selling for "x" £'s ", simply response, well stop wasting my time and yours and go and buy it then, or if you really want to play with them, just ask them to provide a link and if they do they can have it for the same price, never once got a link back. My absolute bug bear though is, what will you take for CASH, the reply how else do you want to pay bottle tops usually results in an angry comment or two! I am not a shop or dealer and nor do i pay VAT so whats with the whole CASH thing, like its some sort of unique bargaining tool!!!
  2. Whilst it makes every sense to let the insurance company know i would like to bet there isnt one insurance company who owns uprev software let alone the staff to tell if the map has been altered from standard (no offence to insurance companies or their staff intended) What about the 100's or possibly 1000's of Zeds out there that may have already been mapped and bought 2nd hand without the new owner being told, i have no idea if mine has!
  3. So long as it has Brembos is all that would concern me, I am not personally fussed about leather and for the amount of time I would use cruise control I can live without it, as others as have mentioned it comes down to condition & price.
  4. One of my rx7's did 20k running anywhere from 450 to 501 hp pending on boost since day one of a rebuild costing £2.5k inc engine out and back in, the only reason it died was water seals Steve Rivett is a quality builder, no one should have any concerns on this car
  5. An owner on the rx7 forums is a trimmer buddy, never used him but he comes highly recommended from there: http://www.edgeautomotive.co.uk/
  6. Are doing the campaign or online?
  7. Remember this for sale, was it Nathaptons (scotland way) or something like that? T51 should be good for a fair bit over 500 hp with some decent boost
  8. This is my concern, i thought it peaked at modern warfare 2.
  9. Sorry my post wasnt worded that well, i was more trying to say does Vettel find it boring to win by such a margin and not even have someone make even a small challenge towards him, someone to have a race with, more so over the last few races. Or as you say does he reveal in consistent and fastest lap times. Maybe he would like a race with someone, whilst i am sure he is not concerned by booing crowds etc i am more than sure he is aware of peoples views on his achievements and perhaps would relish a challenge and then still coming out on top to make his critics eat their words? Same sort of view a lot of people had on Seb Loeb, he was in the best car etc etc Strangely enough during my years of watching any form of domination in motorsport, the only person i can think of that the general masses warmed to is Rossi. I know no where near the same level obviously but if ever during any brief competitive motorsport i have done, its far more fun if you have someone to race against and beat, if your ever had the lead by any margin it always seemed less enjoyable, hollow even.
  10. I recently played The Last of Us, good game and great story, but did find it a little samey, levels, tasks, enemies etc
  11. Hardly a race anymore, I wouldnt even mind seeing Vettel win if he had at least had to "beat" someone. Genuine question, do you think Vettel would find it boring?
  12. Really tempted by ghosts but am getting a little bored of the same old same old with cod, anyone suggest thats it has some decent additions to the norm that make it worth buying? Battlefield 4 is supposed to be very good. I am more a campaign person that online so could anyone recommend the above 2? The Far Cry series have been my favourites, Far Cry 3 is just awesome imho, i really enjoy the fact you can pretty much go anywhere and are not restricted by a small map and boundaries. There is so much do to besides the main game story.
  13. Absolutely, just pointing out that it may be a very ironic opinion and asking amt a question, sure he can talk for himself
  14. The subject is legality and i am sure there is no one on this forum that is whiter than white when it comes to their cars or their driving
  15. How is it irrelevant, its a motoring offence, no different to illegal plates, tints, loud exhaust etc etc I am making no assumptions that because someone drives a fast car they religiously must drive fast but nor do I believe 100% of the popultion strictly adhere exactly to any given speed limit, particularly people on a performance car forum.
  16. I am guessing you never stray over the speed limit then?
  17. Seen these on driftworks, it does make me chuckle the whole, not interested in hearing what you think they are worth etc, i want £2500, a few days later, a grand off! Nice wheels but really dont fit much without extensive arch work
  18. I think I am right in saying its less of a fine to not display a front number plate than intentionally display one with incorrect spacing, size or font etc I havent had one on for 6 months on my z and 3 years on my 7, s and driven past quite a few police, its in the car should I get stopped as it has just fallen off officer and I am on my way to get some fixings never been stopped though. All depends on how bored the particular officers are and if you have given them any other reason to pull you imho.
  19. Because no one generally likes to touch it as chrome doesnt take well to ally, which is why yours are peeling/flaking. The process is lengthy and not many people will guarantee it.
  20. Choose very carefully who you use to re chrome, not many uk firms will do it
  21. I wonder just how much business is lost in the name of profit margin? Sure i saw a fan motor rrp is 800 odd quid, for a 12v motor
  22. Well unless we sign up to (maybe already have) Bt Sport we will struggle to enjoy next year. No mention of who their commentary will be but gather they will be devoting more time to it and a f1 style kind of show with a dedicated presenter or two, features etc etc Would actually love to go back to the days of Randy Mamola in pitlane and still Toby & Jules, would really enjoy hearing more from Neil Spalding, i find what he has to say about the bikes and their workings fascinating. Would also like to have Keith Huewen around. But please no Parish and Cox, i watched the BBC coverage once this year as was bored and didnt want to wait for Eurosport, never again.
  23. Any word on the shipping cost for the items i enquired about?
  24. Maybe just some stickies at the top as an option, track day prep/advise?
  25. Yes have posted in there, but just keep seeing regular questions regarding track days so thought a section might go down well, perhaps with some stickies, track day prep seems to be asked numerous times
