That looks really nice. Suits the bay beautifully.

I just struggle to get the to play games the days. Generally I have to get my ten year old nephew over so that I can 'help him out'. 😀

Can you save GT halfway through a race now then? I haven't turned my PS3 on in well over a year. I left it here when me and the ex moved to a new house.

 

My xbox1 has been on for 4 days now lol.

Yep for the endurance races they added an update at some point which allowed you to "suspend" the race and save it. Only thing with it was that when you next turned on Gran Turismo the only race you could do was the one you'd already started.

 

 

 

I would say the most difficult part of the operation is having the right size screwdriver. Changing a plug is more challenging!

No worries then.

I have plenty of screwdrivers and screwdriver bits here to choose from at home. Might even use my TengTools miniature ratchet with a screwdriver bit just to be different.

Now that's pushing the boat out! Love the Tengs Tools, very nice pieces of kit.

 

I can't see any of these pics! Is it a browser thing? Using Chrome.

In fact take that back they are just taking ages to loads as high quality.

The 2 year old Yuasa battery in my wifes Prius failed today , wont hold a charge at all , assuming dead cell.

Hmmm thats making me think German again... I can get the Bosch for 80ish quid in stock 2 miles away from work...

OK thanks guys.

Cheers guys what's the reliability on these like? Is it wrong for me to put something German in my car? Would I be on the path to the dark side?

Well it looks like after 12 years of service it might well be time to look for a new battery to replace the stock one.

I'm looking at probably swapping it out for a Bosch S4: http://www.eurocarpa...3c834d78

Just before I do, does any one have any alternatives that they would recommend over this one? Lighter ones, different battery type, manufacturer, etc.

Cheers....

Did it on my PS3 and that was a piece of urine.

 

Had to get a HDD caddy but that was the only unusual piece of hardware or equipment I needed.

Seems easy to do on the PS4 too providing you stick within the limits of the size of the HDD you can fit, 9.5mm being the maximum.

 

Just waiting for my HDD to arrive.

Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday. If was great to see everybody and meet some new friends. Can't believe I needed​ the aftersun when I got in!

Great work organising everything Andy, a top day out!

That's all really good info guys and thanks very much for the help here, looks like I should buy a clay not next time, so will keep that in mind for future.

Hopefully see you all at Japfest!

Thanks guys I'll see how I get on. 😎👊
Ok so I'm looking to try and use a clay bar on my car for the very first time, but when looking on a few detailing suites they say match the clay lube to the clay.

Ive got a mixed set of these - Chemical Guys Clay Luber and Meguiars Clay Bar. Is it likely to cause any issues or should be ok together?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated..

Me too, tickets received. Bansai!!

Will they clear the Motordyne DE spacer upgrade and still close the bonnet correctly Adrian?

I bought my old 350 back last year

Superb idea!

Looking great, one tip I have is remember to polish it regularly or it will oxidise. Mine did as I didn't realise to start with.

Best thing for it is Mother's Billet polish, definitely worth getting some to keep it looking nice.

Just got home at 8:30 pm. I hit every bit of traffic in the uk so made my own route home and still hit it. I did call at cougar store for an hour on way back but still. Over 7hrs back to West Yorkshire!

Anyway. Great to meet everyone who was there when i turned up. My HR is now kicking out 313hp which ironically enough is how it came out of the nissan fillopean tubes. An increase of 10hp though from base run and much smoother torque now.

I couldnt realy experience the new map crawling in traffic at 10mph, so i think a country blast is order this weekend.

The snake pass is always fun!

Really enjoyed today and fantastic work as always from Jez and the guys. Thank you very much, I'm really pleased with my 21 extra horses over my last dyno!

Looking forward to tomorrow guys. Safe journeys down and see you all there bright and early! 😎

Personally I wouldn't drive on that, and have thrown tyres away with less damage. Think about the force you're putting on that area during cornering, and at what pressure. Plus what if you nick it again in the same spot?

 

You did the right thing by getting it checked out professionally, and of course they've seen it up close and have given their opinion, but for me that's just a little too much damage.

Hmm the guys at the tyre shop did it was just a nick and not anywhere near the coding and so hence we completely safe to drive on.

My next door neighbour is a service manager at a garage and said the same thing.

Do you really think it's that bad Dan?

Sorry guys here's some in the dark pics. Can you see enough or do I post some more tomorrow? Had guests over for a bit and not had time to get out even for this!

Pic? I don't want to say anything either way until seeing the damage, as my first thought is replace as if it's big enough to be cosmetically noticeable, then there is very likely to have structural damage.

 

They're too important to risk. That said, I do have the perfect solution for you, just want to see a pic first

Sorry for the delay thought I'd replied to this before. Will post a pic tomorrow when it's light again on what its looking like.
