  1. Yeah boi looking sharp!! Glad the issues were sorted without too much bother. Good job you not lowered for that ramp eek PS I've read with the coated discs it's advised after so many miles to remove the pads and clean up the surfaces as they become contaimated.
  2. I'm in Brum too *Sheldon. For that bits and fitting I'd recommend Cougar Store 135 Queens Rd Leicester LE2 3FL Then for the mapping we have a group buy with HDev coming up you might be allowed to tag onto.

    Spacers

    To be fair most folks fit spacers and keep them on regardless of the possibility they've made their car handle worst. Again how a car handles is down to personal preference. Also have a look at the forum 'picture of the day' thread and tell me how many pictures you find of the interior......

    "Handling" for me is something very subjective. Ie some love the way a standard S2000 handles, some hate it. Slightly wider tracker can improve feel and grip, which promotes confidence and more enjoyment. Don't read into theory as one rule doesn't cover all vehicles, with different steering and suspension set ups. 99.9% of the time when we see our cars it's stationary and spacers help the look of the Zed no end, worth it for this alone imho.
  5. Park up in neutral, hold the brake and rev the engine to find out.
  6. Don't make me feel bad lol first day back to work, Z33 it is - the long way.

    ^ care to prove the car will handle worst? Many sports cars hot versions have increased track width to further improve grip and handling.
  8. Ahh I see, I gave a jump start this morning with the daily and yep loads of condensation in the engine bay too. Perfectly normal then.

    Fitting 20mm spacers to me is no different to selecting aftermarket rims with an offset ET15 to a ET35...... I have a 15/20mm setup, been on track twice this year with now issues.
  10. Had a quick search, but found nothing relating. Had some time over the holiday period to upgrade my pcv hoses and was surprised to find the engine bay dripping with water. Together with the underside of the bonnet dripping wet too. Granted I haven't used the car for a fortnight, but still wouldn't expect that. This didn't happen last winter, however it was nowhere near as cold here in the West Midlands. So apart from "drive the car more comments" is this common and anything to do with the ally bonnet?
  11. Haha Thoroughly enjoyed the lasted offering, didn't think I would from the trailer but it was very good.
  12. Front fogs these days are for extra light when turning now anyways. Correctly adjusted headlamps is all the light you'll need up front.
  13. Wasn't worth a new thread but I thought I'd share this on road tyre comparison of the MPSS vs Conti Sport Contact 6
  14. Or you bolted the wheel on square this time haha.......
  15. GT40 piece was mega a apart from when Clarkson said he had never driven an original..... Lies
  16. Looks to me like the oil chamber in the lower plenum (which normally see oil from the pcv valve) is expelling oil up the bolt via the treads, then pooling on the top of the plenum. Possibly the plenum itself hasn't been torqued down in the right sequence previously, leading to the centre sitting slightly proud and therefore the bolt not being able to tighten down correctly. PS the bolts themselves on the inside, aren't exposed to vacuum.
  17. cant wait for this, alien and aliens were awesome. as above 3 and Res were fab also tbf
  18. Do like these in blue and of course 3dr mk2.5 The brother in-law has a black 5dr 07 plate ST mk2 and I was shocked to see wind up rear windows. His motor the inside is just like any other focus of the same year with a few at badges, just not special enough for me to ever consider one.
  19. Maybe unevenly torqued wheel nuts
