Tillie dog in the back of the Z loving the panoramic view!

Have these on mine=no complaints The ratings are just as good as the top of the range tyres but there a lot cheaper. I've just got a discount of black circles because they were cheaper on tyre leader ( tyre leader had major difficulties finding my works address so cancelled my order) , not a full match but got some money off anyway

Kumho ecsta le sport KU39's I've ordered, had them on my previous civic type R, there really good value for money, especially in the wet.

Yep, it took a bit of adjustment and alignment but the hat fits

Drives beautifully now, not a noticeable amount of transmission noise like it warns you about in the box. It feels a lot smother and more responsive. I'm made up! Cheers Ewen!

Just arrived all boxed up and shiny, along with a free hat I will report back tomorrow afternoon after ive fitted it ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good reviews on here so I'll go for it. It looks like the Mrs will be getting a snickers bar for Christmas this year then haha! I'll send you a PM now Ewen, cheers í ½í±

280bhp! Don't know why I lost 100 then haha

It's a DE I think? 2002 import, 180bhp?

I've just changed the clutch fluid. It still only slips at low revs (between 2 and 4 thousand RMP) then kinds grips again and pulls away. Looks like it's new clutch time! Any recommendations for a kit suitable for fast road?

That's tomorrow's job them! I shall report back with (hopefully) good news.

The mighty car mods guys on youtube are worth a watch. They built a mad max style silvia with a v8 in it. Very entertaining. There supercharging an 80s mini at the moment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mines slips but only low revs, once it gets past about 3.5k it grips again? And its definitely not wheel spin haha Im thinking the previous owner had a cheap nasty clutch fitted? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Caterham?

Welcome! (291 now until my free sticker)

Because of the lack of sighnage? At the time I didn't argue because I wasn't 100% sure they were the only sighns and he was giving me a right bollocking. He even asked me where I was the previous Wednesday, trying to accuse me of causing a crash nearby in a similar car.

No it's not just you! I've lost count of the times I've argued with other testers about the fail criteria. There's a worrying amount of tested items that different testers can't agree on when it should be simple as they all have access to the manual.

This sounds exactly like the argument I had with my boss when this part of the test was added a few years ago, he was adamant that he had been told otherwise during his refresher course. The problem is the manager also whent on the same course at a later date and was told something different! I agree with you entirely and admit my post was misleading! Apologies, I was just trying to give some friendly advice as unfortunately the general consensus from other testers I've spoken to is that they need to be fitted. I don't know weather it's down to the old training scheme or just what. Luckily the VOSA are now the DVSA and the training scheme will be changing to a private firm (the last I heard)

the last time I got caught speeding it was 10:30pm on a dry dual carriage way at the end of the M 53 that had recently been reduced from a 50 to a 40 and the only sighnage that would have warned me was solar powered and obviously wasn't lit up as it was dark. Admittedly I was doing 56 so I was breaking the old limit but that's not my point. My point is at no point on that bit of road was I a risk to anyone other than myself and there was no need for a traffic officer to be hidden behind a Toyota dealers show hi-lux. Surely at 10:30pm on a Saturday there are other matters the office could be dealing with (drunks or people speeding around residential areas) I'm sure people (including the desk sergeant) will agree that this was a bit harsh. So.....I was asking if anyone knows of any decent radar systems that would have possibly prevented this situation?

Define "driving like a tit"

I've got a pioneer SPH DA 120 too, there brilliant for the money when linked to an I phone, and it's quite easy to have all the connections hidden away in the centre glove box or where ever you fancy.
