  1. No tracking issues, sons, I run 2.5 degree camber :p

     

    :)

     

    Still plenty of tread in the middle; I bet if you reset the camber you could get another couple of thousand miles on them.... ;)

  2. They've both opted for the OEM type in 5", same as we used on the demo 370z... :)

     

    I'll be taking lots of photos when we fit them... :) Oh and sound clips too... :)

     

    Good stuff! :thumbs:

  3. I've resisted getting a Z logo on the key ring just in case I lost the keys or they were stolen, kinda identifies the car really...

     

    I hadn't thought of that. In that case , maybe I'll also write "NOT A" above the logo.... :)

  4. :lol:

     

    Even so, it does kind of look like they've missed out a "1" at the front of the price doesn't it?

     

    (For what it's worth I've used GY F1s on a previous, albeit FWD, car and they were excellent.)

  5. I've been stung a couple of times by esure's admin fees. No wonder so many people commit insurance fraud!

     

    Good to know they will cover the exhaust when I finally take the plunge though. :thumbs:

  6. Your not a massive corner king are you? Probably a bit over tyred for an Astra. Falkens/Kumho might save you some dough.

     

    I had both Kumhos and Falkens on my Focus ST; the Falkens were decent enough, but the Kumhos were borderline dangerous in the wet, even at sensible speeds. Goodyear Eagle F1s were the best I found.

  7. I thought that Title said SPECSAVERS...!

    I'll get my coat...!!!

    I went there last week and they took £490 off me...!!!

    I think maybe you should ask for a refund.... ;)

  8. Just had to go and check on mine as I`ve never used the key slot so never taken notice of it but no there is no light around the slot.

     

    Ok thx very much appreciate it... Strange as at night it's hard find find the hole! ������

    But why do you need to? It's an intelligent key, if you're talking 370.

     

    My car sometimes gives me the no key warning when driving and I have an electric gate at work and it's easier if I know where the key is each time to operate it and not in my pocket etc...

     

    Another bit of a side note, but if your electric gate opener is on the car's key fob it could be interfering with the key signal, which might explain the "no key" warning.

  9. Hiya,

     

    Try this; worked for me. You have to pair it as an audio device (as opposed to a headset).

    (Sorry, can't get the hyperlink to work on this silly tablet.)

  10. The first one I test-drove (2010, 15k miles) was a complete dog; not sure if the problems it had are common but it suffered from:

     

    Very noticeable transmission whine

    Sluggish acceleration

    Prematurely worn interior (cracked leather on seats and gear knob)

    Centre console cubby-hole didn't shut properly

    Lots of stone chips on the big ol' nose

     

    Definitely seemed to have had a hard life!

     

    I think they're also quite susceptible to rusting underneath too.

  11. They're 5" slash cut. Go big or go home :teeth:

     

    Here's the sound clip as promised - you'll need headphones and the volume turned up...

     

     

    Sounds awesome through my speakers at any rate - lovely deep growl!

     

    I prefer the roll-tips, which only seem to come in 5" diameter. I did wonder if they'd look a bit too big, but I have to say your car wears them well! Also like the fact they don't stick out too much from the bumper, unlike some others I've seen.

  12. Found this but it's not a very good quality video sound wise. I suspect the system sounds a lot better 'in the flesh'. From my own experiences of other exhausts it doesn't sound like an overly loud system (which is a good thing).

     

     

    Can I detect a bit of a "hiss" on that video? Any chance that car also has their HFCs fitted? Sounds pretty good to me in any case.

     

    Couldn't agree more on the volume; I just want something that sounds a bit more like a sports car. At the moment I have all the alluring sound of a Ford Transit without the added benefit of practicality....

  13. I'm guessing it's a fault on their database, rather than user input error; if I put my reg into their "Sell My Car" page, it comes up automatically as a 370 Z. Must be two possible categories for our cars for some (or possibly no) reason.
