  1. Perhaps it needs to be in a more obvious position, as I personally wouldn't say that going on a track day in your Z is "off topic". I'd say it's more an integral part of owning and loving your Z.
  2. Needs a BGW!! Everything looks better with one of those It would finish off the already mean lines
  3. On the way home from Essex one day: On a drift day not too long after, I don't think that this was correct though
  4. No probs man, will be happy to help. Think I might have to buy a few more tools to help streamline the process for next time Cheers bud, yeah I hope so. Went for a lot light design to the one we did on the skyline. Definitely went back to my farming roots with those ones (made from 10mm plate and 2" box, very over kill) These ones are considerably lighter and should be just as strong I thought everyone in the drift world just used hockey pucks haha.
  5. I suspect if you can afford to pay nearly £1 million for a car then they will probably be looking at plates like "P1". I cant see them selling enough to warrant plates like that being in demand. Nice plate though just dont think the Mclaren will make any difference to its value. This made me think of you.....
  6. The inside of the door, ie the door card is different but you could swap your old one over or upgrade the other side too, otherwise I believe they're the same
  7. What's really good fun but hard work is doing rides around the slalom course in the Caterhams. (burning rubber and been a hooligan.!!) I'm speaking to the manager at the caterham events at the moment. Just waiting for him to get back to me with a driving interveiw date. Excited to get behind the wheel of one of them. Ive always wanted to be the guys doing it at Autosport lol. My mate Dino Zamparelli does the Autosport one. Mercedes Benz world did driving experiences at autosport a few years ago too
  8. Try the tyre shine! It smells of bubblegum and makes the tyres look like new, it's also an aerosol so it's not messy and dries quickly too
  9. If thats yours well done !! i wish it was, although them wheels are Spoiler is worse
  10. http://www.usgarage.co.uk/s-h-o-p/4576349056/CLEAN-AND-REPAIR/5787616 this Shining Monkey Clean and Repair is amazing, it has taken so many scratches out of my paintwork and even rescued my headlights. Highly recommend it And also, you don't need much at all. It goes a really long way.

    headlight tint

    That's the same as this: http://www.flyeyeskit.co.uk/ I have it on my rear indicators and it looks ok. It's been fitted for a couple of years now, I always forget it's on there but I'd never had an issue with it. When you buy from them they give you a booklet for if you get pulled over, it has all the laws and reasons why it doesn't break them listed. I wouldn't use it on a large light surface though, might look a bit naff
  12. Go whole hog and get a wide arch fibreglass kit!

    PM Billyzed, he has some used ones available which haven't been on the car for many miles. He's selling everything due to needing a house deposit.
  14. Guessing he didn't have rays, the non rays weigh the same as a small planet, so they probably would be lighter. I know they weigh a ton because I have 3 sets of the blighters
  15. FYI: I made a simple Tarmac Sportz logo on forza so if anyone wants to use it feel free
  16. How is it cutting corners? Do you not understand there is more choice, less weight, better turn in due to less sidewall etc etc. I'm running Pilot super sports I don't see how that is cutting corners? What tyres do you run? Because you are not buying the correct tyre size which was designed for the car? So the speedometer, mileage, traction control, torque and gearing settings are all based on the distance that the tyre travels over one complete revolution. A tyre with a different outside diameter will travel a different distance over that one revolution with a different amount of torque. For an extra £30 a corner why not put the correct size tyres on? It doesn't matter if they are bloody F1 tyres....if they are the wrong size its a waste of time.... I agree that it might not make 'that' much difference dropping the profile down by 5 but it is cutting corners So the speedometer - Use a sat nav for true speed as the car is out +/- 3% anyway, mileage - not exactly a huge concern as the effect will be tiny, traction control - If you really have an issue drive without it, if you rely on it you shouldn't be driving the car, torque - is produced by the engine and not the tyres, so the effect is miniscule and gearing settings - unless you're going from a 15" alloy to a 18" alloy the difference will again, tiny! are all based on the distance that the tyre travels over one complete revolution. - Over a mile the 45 profile will rotate 756.3 times, on the 40 profile the tyre will rotate 784.6 times. Not a huge difference! A tyre with a different outside diameter will travel a different distance over that one revolution with a different amount of torque. Speedo differences for you: 20 - 19.3 30 - 28.9 40 - 38.5 50 - 48.1 60 - 57.8 70 - 67.4 80 - 77 90 - 86.6
  17. He will yes what? Don't worry, I know you're using an iSomething and it's autocorrect Love the F-Type in either coupe or cab, but that is stunning. I'm so glad Tata took over JLR and saved them.
