  1. I admire you for brushing off those of us who have been quite rude! As for termites, not my cuppa tea.
  2. Makeover? That's debatable
  3. Hoping someone is going to explain the difference otherwise I've got to go research what synchromesh is and how it works lol Sent from my EndeavorU using Tapatalk
  4. Double declutching isn't something you need to do with modern gearboxes with synchromesh. Certainly it's not a technique I ever use, or have ever used for that matter. I guess I could train myself pretty quickly to do it, but a decent HaT (is there an acceptable shortened version of that?! I got pilloried on PH for saying heel/toe!) does all you'll ever need it to. I think I'm getting confused between double declutching and rev matching. I meant to say rev matching (for downshifts).
  5. After reading this thread yesterday I watched a few videos on youtube. I've been playing with left foot breaking and double clutching when changing down, both are going to require some practice! Played with heel-toe when stationary just to get the pedal feel, that's going to take a while!! I love all these advanced driving techniques but I do find it hard to remember what each one is for, I guess once I'm using them it'll make more sense.
  6. If you're considering a car, post the advert and we'll help with the extras. I'm not familiar with the 370 personally but plenty around here are!
  7. Dipping is obviously more expensive but imo looks a lot better. Prices vary but for smaller item's like the interior switch panel's maybe £50-£80 (est.) for the pair to be done. Depends on how much prep work is involved & how large the item is though tbh. They're usually Clear lacquered after dipping so very resilient. Here's an example below just to give you an idea. Nothing wrong with a carbon wrap instead though if you like it. Not usually a fan of carbon (unless it's real) but that looks amazing!
  8. I'm in Farnborough and there's plenty of us in Camberley. As others have said, sounds normal. Happy to help if I can
  9. Three of us are heading to the 'ring over the May bank holiday for a stag do. We might be leaving it a bit late but we still need to book 3 nights accommodation and I'm looking for recommendations as none of us have been before. As it's a stag, one evening is likely to entail consuming copious amounts of silly juice so should we look at being in a town close by with a choice of establishments rather than on the doorstep of the track? Is there a town close enough? As we won't be driving the day after, it would be handy to be somewhere we can spend a day not needing the cars. I literally have no idea what to expect so any information, if you have been before, is greatly received!
  10. Get some trophy wheels, get rid of the checker plate stickers and a dash of yellow in the bay (and the calipers), job done!
  11. We'll be there 2-5th May (we're expecting it to be busy!) It's fxn's stag do!
  12. Good thinking...by lids do you mean helmets??
  13. Great, I see the AA do one but I did think the bulb kit would be useless. Is there such a thing as a spare bulb kit for the 350? I've never had a car with HIDs before. Might be... I've done some more research, the French did drop the requirement for the breathalyzer and the fire extinguisher is only required in Belgium if the car is registered there.
  14. Myself, fxn and Lewish are off to Europe in May, whilst the route isn't set yet we'll be driving in France, Belgium and Germany. I'm compiling a list of @*!# we need to take and do before we go and I'm wondering if I have missed anything? The list so far: One reflective jacket in the vehicle Warning Triangle First Aid Kit Fire Extinguisher Spare bulb kit Breathalizer GB stickers (or badge on number plate) Headlight modifiers (any recommendations for these?) Driving licence (both bits) V5 Insurance certificate Passport We'll also need to check that tyre depths are more than 1.6mm although more than 3mm is recommended. Other than the above, the obvious car checks will be done such as fluids, tyre pressures and oil levels. I've ridden bikes in Europe before and not had much of the stuff listed above but not having driven a car (and being in three zeds potentially drawing more attention) we want to be totally legal. Thanks in advance!
  15. Oh hi Will! The next two roads I use are the cemetery pass and the remaining (freshly tarmac'd) 60mph part of the bends so not so bad
  16. Cheers Roscoe. What's odd is that it only started happening after it went for a P1 and the oil was changed despite the other thread on my350 suggesting oil has nothing to do with it.
  17. Someone in a 370 roadster gave me a wave as I was avoiding potholes in Brookwood at about 5.30pm this evening so didn't get a chance to wave back! Then at about 5.50pm I saw a 350 heading onto the BVR from Farnborough, didn't catch the plate but it had LED number plate bulbs.
  18. Sorry for the bump but this issue is really bugging me now. Has anyone had this issue and subsequently resolved it with an UpRev? Should I just contact Abbey?
  19. I got some of these from Clark Motorsport because my OEM items were identified as causing the 'bump' i was getting when changing gear quickly during 'fruity' acceleration. They did the trick and there is a positive overall improvement which I find it hard to describe. General driving just feels tighter is about the best I can manage. Oddly the exhaust note sounds slightly better inside the cabin but I'm not sure how that's possible, perhaps someone can explain? I should add, these are apparently a bitch to fit. I got mine fitted at TGM in Fleet and was told it was a horrible job. Glad I didn't attempt it on the drive!!
  20. I don't think the Nismo kit has them.
  21. Excellent, I'll keep an eye out for it. Good video of a resonated system here, so will be nice to compare:
  22. Cheers mate! The drop is subtle isn't it. I'm still undecided, how does it ride, is it any harder? I understood the difference between resonated and non res to basically be the volume, is that not the case?
