what speed do you think the law should allow?
wmr1980 replied to ddcboyle's topic in Off Topic Discussion
In France it's 80 when conditions are good and 70 when conditions are bad (i.e. raining / low visibility). I think a similar rule would be good. However, I'd prefer to see more police on the road judging and using their discretion for people's driving rather than cameras which don't tell the full picture. Though ultimately I know it costs more to have more police patrolling... -
I've just logged in via facebook - let me create a username... Hmm can't seem to see where you create a username other than being linked to Facebook - or am I missing something? My game centre ID is: froggywill if that's what you need.

I know I'm working on it!!
-
I'm addicted to the game! It's quite hard when you take all driver aids off though but it makes it more fun.

There's no need to drive like that on a public road. And if you're going to do it, at least be a man and take it on the chin, put your hands up and be respectful/remorseful to the law when you're caught. Unfortunately he'll undoubtedly keep driving irrespective of a ban - those sort of people will do

Love the pics in this thread! Hi Clown (it's Will/FF btw ).
-
hehe It's not that bad these days... but I may be biased :o
-
For a second I thought I was back on Overclockers forum!!
-
It's not even hot! It's warm at best! Anyway, we all have bad days, I'm sure a lot of whatever has transpired was done in the "heat" of the moment. I don't know what's occurred, but as a relative newbie to this forum this place seems fairly calm and pleasant. Once I get my 350Z I'll no doubt become a pain!

The aftermath of our 2013 European Road trip
wmr1980 replied to mattross1313's topic in 350Z General
Cool trip! Look forward to being able to share similar trip when I finally get my zed. Great pics too. What's the zed like for a long touring journey like that? I imagine it's rather a pleasant/comfortable experience, with some fun on the twisties? -
Cool thanks for the clarification.

A quick noob question, what's the advantage of a true dual exhaust over a y-pipe version? Or is it down to sound and personal preference? Presumably with a full exhaust system, I.e. new y pipe, high flow cats, and back box you'd get similar performance? Unless you changes the manifolds for for the true dual system? I'm sure it's been answered before, but some of the threads have dead links and I'd rather ask this forum than others.

As long as you're happy that's the most important thing.

It's worth watching, so much better than last week's atrocious episode.
-
I haven't got mine yet and I'm already thinking about what I want to do with it! Looks like a lovely example I'm personally a fan of very subtle exterior mods, and more of under the bonnet/handling mods. I'll keep an eye out and see how you get on - it'll probably prove to be even more inspiration for me (not that I need any more!).

I don't mind paying a little more for a better quality car. Even 80+k miles doesn't turn me off if the car has been well maintained and full serviced. The more you scrimp on now, the more you'll have to spend to "do it up" later. I'd rather buy a car and just enjoy it without having to worry about sorting it out.

To be honest, you can learn so much from video that you can't from just looking at the mirror - to be honest, you shouldn't be looking at the mirror when lifting, it doesn't actually help. Besides, in powerlifting and strongman comps, they don't have them! It's best to leave the ego at home and lift well, than snap yourself trying to do cocky stuff. I often do deload weeks when I've been lifting heavy for a few weeks, just to let my body recover, and to work on mobility and form. Hey, at least you're at the gym, and we all learn every day and from our peers. As long as you're getting better, stronger, more supple and fitter - what more could you want?!
-
Just read the whole thread - my heart broke when I saw the first post, and I was genuinely, clicking on next page with excitement to see the result! So happy for you (I know I'm new and not really established in the community - however I love cars, and know what they mean to people, especially when they put so much work into them).
-
I don't understand why people do that. Heck, my other half's car is bag of bolts, with dents and knocks, but people still bang open their doors into it, and one person keyed it?! WTF is wrong with people? When I get my Zed, I'll be pretty paranoid about people not taking care around it - fortunately, I can park it safely. However, people will be dicks and not take care around other people's property. However, that's pure wanton vandalism. Whilst it is £75 at least it's not worse - but you shouldn't HAVE To do fix sort of thing at all.

Also, form is so important. It's not about the weight. It's lifting the weight (no matter how much) with good form. Many people tend to suffer more from form in deadlifts and squats. Not keeping core braced, neutral spine, and not activating certain parts of the body. A lot of people have hip flexor and glute tightness. I suggest that you read (I can provide a pdf copy) "Become a supple leopard" - http://www.suppleleopard.com/ - it's published by Kelly Starrett who you may have seen from mobilityWOD on youtube. I've done a lot of mobility work for my shoulder (previous dislocation) and "bum tuck" at the bottom of squat, with my improved mobility, my squat posture is now so much better with less lower back pump etc... However this is a subject that I could go onto for pages - just like nutrition!

You'll find many conflicting arguments. Fact is there is no golden rule they are ALL approximations, from phd to anecdotes. Protein synthesis curves are all around the same so it makes little odds. There is only so much protein that is needed depending on your training and diet and current health, any excess is just used as calories to fuel the body and turned into glucose. If there were any conclusive facts where one way was better than the other there wouldn't be all this debate in the fitness world. It'll rage on ad infinitum. Obviously as you take gear protein synthesis increases and that skews all the theories as everyone's metabolism is different and reacts differently. Just do what works for you.

That looks amazing.... Shame about the cyclists though... Buzz test?
