    MPSS

    I'm no tyre expert and just wanted to see what other people have to say about this. I am potentially looking at getting MPSS all round on my 350z and have come across ones for the rear at a cheaper price. About £105 for 1x 245/45/18 although the seller has said its been in stock for a while, never used and been kept in dry storage.

     

    If it's been kept in storage and never used, would the tyre deteriorate or deteriorate at a quicker rate when they are eventually on the car?

  1. Not sure about elsewhere but locally to me, when filling up with petrol there's always signs on every pump to say that bikers must take their helmets off. Now personally I don't have an issue with this as I did it anyway when I was on my bike but a few other bikers I know get rather passionate about this and question, why do they need to take their helmet off when people with burkas can fill up and not get questioned?

     

    After all, they believe it's discrimination against bikers when people can simply put a burka on and not be questioned at all.

     

    Just wanted to see what other people think about this.

  2. If the biker wasn't doing those speeds, he more than likely wouldn't have hit the car or at least would have had time to slow down and maneuver around the car turning in. Watching this video does make me think about how I drive and I'm sure this video will spread awareness for both car drivers and bikers. RIP to the biker.

  3. I bought black diamond front discs and pads, fitted them myself, bedded in, all seemed fine. After putting a fair few miles on them, I started experiencing juddering at 60-70mph and gradually got worse and worse. I took the zed to Sly at Kaizers, found that the build up of crud on the hub transferred to the disc and put the alignment out. Options were to get disc skimmers out or to replace it all. As I needed the car and couldn't really wait around, Sly cleaned the hubs and fitted new discs and pads, all ok ever since then.

     

    I have black diamond discs and pads on the rear as well, no issues with them.

  4. Main post updated with interior pictures. It's a bit dirty as I have had my work gear in there but I will be getting it all cleaned out as I won't be using the car anymore. Now using my bmw as my daily.

     

    I also got the handbrake adjusted by Sly at Kaizer Motors today, it now holds even better than before.
