  1. Was it ackward taking that last photo on stilts?
  2. I can only speak for my HR but there isnt any change when i go above 5k revs which is everytime i take it out as only drive it every other weekend. Dont know what your issue may be, someone will be able to offer advice.
  3. with all respect Dan, he isnt a stranger, he has worked for the company several years and even used to have his own dedicated parking spot you know 👌ðŸ»
  4. Isnt there a way to find out who is on holiday each week (HR department) if that many people work in the building then surely there will be someone off most weeks on holiday, especially through the summer months and you just have to ask them if its ok to use their space whilst on hols?
  5. I feel your pain davey. I have had the zed a year now, only done the shopping in it once at Morrisons and came out to a dent in drivers door, not done weekly shop in it since, although saying that my daily Beamer, first 2 weeks at new work place parking in dedicated car park next to other staff, no fewer than 3 dents in doors in 2 weeks. So even your spot at work is no guarantee of a safe spot. How about asking someone you know fairly well who has a spot if they would alternate weeks with you then at least you get to use the zed half of each month? If you explained your position you may be suprised how accomodating snd sympathetic people can be. Of course they could slso tell you to shove it. 50/50 gamble

  8. More specifically the Green Hell, i know how some of you think! Me and the bro are booked in for weekend of 20th May and cannot wait although the thought of driving the zed with no insurance to fall back on is a little scary, the moto "you only live once" always makes my decisions. So, What i need from you good people is the essentials list or highly recommended for travel to/from and during the time on track. My Zed has already had a bit spent on it. I wont go into the full list as will do a build thread soon and i will hopefully be getting the uprev done in April. What i know i will need are better pads. Got the hawk ceramic standard type pads at minute which say strictly road use so what are the better option. I am not bothered about squeel but would prefer low dust although again rather have the performance than clean wheels as gonna be doing more track days in future. Also does the oil need upgrading? Mitz will be doing a service soon, heard that the titan race oil is a great option? I have already purchased a helmet. Any other safety related items needed? Then onto travel. Going from Hull on P&O ferries to Zeebrugge. The Zed is lowered by around 40mm. Any issue getting on/off ferry? What do i need for travel through Belgium to Germany? Do i realy need headlight stickers when all driving will be done in daylight, Is it ok to just have them in glovebox? Do i need a first aid kit? Again, people that have been, were you stopped anytime and asked to show A,B an C ? I will be getting Greenflag breakdown assistance for Europe before I go or is there a preffered option? My passport runs out in August but i dont think you need 6 months left on like outside EU Any other tips and advise welcome. Need to know how you pay for laps as i believe its all done on an app now, changed 2016 if someone could confirm Hopefully this will give great advise to others going for the first time this year and in the future.
  9. Sinnister. Get your name down for the April group buy. We need 2 more.
  10. Good to hear this. Were you the driver or passenger and hows the other chap?
  11. You can remove the front bumper and just rest it on the floor still leaving the headlight washer hoses attached. There is about a foot of play so if you get someone to help you can get to bottom of what issue is. Only one of mine works properly. The other like yours leaves a pool of screenwash on floor but like everyone else i dont actually use them or want to use them and at the minute i'd get more help out of the cat than the other half so will just leave it be.
  12. April would be great for me. I would be in. Want it doing before ring trip in May. Jez. Can you do the multiple maps and launch control. Its a HR with cruise control
  13. The filters area def smaller so the overall size will be smaller. They may fit in the gap on a de but prob wouldnt give the airflow required.
  14. Suprisingley house prices have shot up over last 2 years. I found that out last month when i remortgaged my house after our 2 year deal finished. I filled in all the paperwork online happy with the new deal based on my loan to value worked out at original purchase price. When the paperwork came back i was over the moon to find our halifax now valued my house 35k more and as a result my loan to value percentage was less and it meant the interest rate offered was lower and saves me £80 month. So sorry to dribble on but what i sm saying is house prices do seem to have increased by a decent amount over the last two years BUT every area will be different 1- the house you are looking at may well have gone up 50k 2- the owners are cheeckily trying to make a quick buck 3- maybe a bit of both and they arent in a rush to sell do price it 20k higher than market to see what offers they get Like everything. Do some research and check other properties for sale nearby at current time. Find out how long it has been up for sale for. Even with people struggling for mortgages there is still a shortfall of housing and its my understanding that "nice" house priced "right" will still be snapped up straight away while others either not looked after or priced too high will sit there for months/years 2 years ago. We had to sell our last house quick as it was only 2 bed and family on the way. I priced it around 5k lower than what the estate agents said, it sold in 4 days
  15. You could get a 20ltr jerry can or 3 and fill them up at same time as the zed so its not so much a waste of fuel as you will have a stock. Then when you get back to england you could sell them to get some money back or keep them in reserve for when the walking dead zombie apocalypse hits. From previous threads though. An additive is ok short term or running 95 ron is ok if you keep below 4/5k rpm ie normal driving
  16. Surely it would be more cost effective to just move Stonehenge
  17. Not a massive mod but just installed my silicone air intake hoses. Every little helps before my uprev. Now got k&n drop in filters, to go with above to get more air in and full cobra exhaust system including hiflow cats to get more gas out. Coupled with mishimoto rad and oil cooler to keep temps down.
  18. How family friendly is japfest? I want to come along but its looking like the only way i can get there is if my 6 year old daughter comes along. She does love the sound of the full cobra system on the zed though.
  19. Wow. Some serious work going in there. Will you need a pilots licence for that wing?
  20. Could someone please ask them if they would accept:
  21. Shezza, let me know which side of me your parking on so i can spend the whole week before DA polishing the sh1t out of that side ðŸ‘ðŸ»
