I'd just like to say, I've never been sure on the wing on Dan's car. On Sunday I saw it in the flesh and my God it looks good! Everyone there was taking pictures and on the way home he got several flashes and thumbs up too!

Hopefully he'll comment, I remember he did a post on here so maybe you can find it, but Ricey is a massive success story. Properly inspiring too!

Late reply I know, but I totalled my first Z on the M1, I was driving at about 50mph in the snow. Casually going along with no problems at all, next thing I know the car in the lane next to me pulls across into my lane to overtake the person in front of them. Their drivers door was about to hit my front wing so I instinctively swerved to the right onto the outside lane to avoid the collision. Unfortunately the sharp steering input mixed with budget tyres and the road conditions made the rear end snap out on me, I tried my hardest to catch it. The sudden snap of the rear end in the opposite direction was completely unexpected and I spiralled down the motorway and ended up front end in the armco next to the hard shoulder, that threw the car round and buried the rear end into it too. Would decent tyres have saved me? Probably not, but I'm certain the crash wouldn't have been as bad if I'd got a decent set on. I was driving with a safe distance to the car in front, I wasn't over tired, I wasn't driving erratically, someone scared me and I made a mistake under pressure.

RTFP.

Means I don't have to watch that dross in the cinema now, I know the story already Although, I do wonder what story of a skyscraper they'll manage to get that submarine into... I'm going to say 30!

I swear Nangkang have really bad quality control issues. I hear so many people with properly decent cars (who do track them!) saying the tyres are awesome, then so many people in EXACTLY the same situation saying they're so terrible. Federal tyres are the same. It's so bizarre because I see people who I trust giving each opinion and they're so polar opposite.

+1000 Driving the GMC in this weather must be fun mostly pulling off from a standstill really otherwise it's ok, had to be really careful pulling off when it was icy as it just liked to squat and spin the rears

No denying he's cool! He does a lot of driving in other peoples cars. He's done stuff in borrowed cars for Ken Block, Chris Forsberg, Vaughn Gittin Jr to name a few. Supposedly a really nice guy too!

Jesus Christ. Even a matching pair of linglong sportmaxx tyres would be better. THE FIRST thing you spend money on should be new tyres, even before eating.

It's pronounced like "Turk", and he never had a 370z, he's borrowed Chris Forsbergs 370 a couple of times for promotional stuff, but he's always in either an S13, Camaro or a GT86 competition wise.

You're clearly going to do whatever you want anyway, arguing with genuine, correct and helpful advice with idiotic logic you've pulled from your backside to justify a stupid idea. Why would you want to make it easier for someone to get into an accident with you? Or give your insurers a reason to not pay out if you are in an accident?! When you ring your insurers, please record the conversation.

If the value of the gift is greater than £34 you need to pay import tax. Value Value Value Value Value It doesn't matter if it's a gift from the lord God your saviour himself. If it's worth more than £34 you're liable to import tax. If you're going to mark it down, that's up to you, but don't pretend you're perfectly 100% in the clear. Just because you gave the money to your mate Joseph who sent it by bottle in the ocean to Jeremiah who rolled it down the hill to the seller doesn't change the value of the item.

If the value of the gift is greater than £34 you need to pay import tax. Those are significantly more expensive than £34. A formal customs declaration is required if the entire consignment is worth more than £750. If you bring in two at the same time you'll need to do that. Customs duty is due if the value of the parcel is over £135. Those are worth more than £135. If you're going to commit tax fraud, I probably wouldn't boast about it on a public forum...

Never seen it happen, you must be doing something wrong for so many people to think you're also pulling over. Indicator stuck on? Driving at 10mph in a 60?

Same, 1000% better than Guildford too :/

The numberplate goes in the mouth right?!

wow thats a big bulge! (ooer missis )

They're pretty ugly could be worth spending a couple of quid getting them tinted red with some film or spray, they'd look a millionty times better then

make sure its cast vinyl too, as it's less likely to lift

We've seen it done tens of times, it always looks terrible. Trust us all.

It looks like you bought a body kit and can't afford to spray it. Coming from someone who is in almost that exact position, it's not a great one to be in

Mark writes the map for the car, dials it in on the dyno for the cars parameters so you don't have any issues, so 1) It's his intellectual property yes 2) I'd be suprised if he would map the ECU without the car. I'm pretty sure he would fly out to you to map the car in Greece though. Expensive option, but cheaper than shipping the car to him I'd imagine.

When I got my truck, it had some exposed metal on the rear of the cab. I sanded all the rust off it, chucked some primer on it, waited a bit and then chucked some bright blue over that. 10 months later, I sanded back the paint, repaired the metal, filled etc it and then primered it all. I left it to dry and came back to something that looked like this: It took me half a day of sanding, primering, sanding, primering etc to get rid of all the reactants in the paints as all the sanding was bringing up more of the reactants Always use products which are designed to go together, otherwise you'll be cursing for a long time
