  1. trouble with that is if you've went to the expense of uprated over stock, which can be 100's of £'s dearer then you can't claim for them if your in a accident Hmm good point, I hadnt considered it from that angle. It has always been more about having a payout declined due to non disclosure

    .

    Hong Kong was the same, they were everywhere.
  3. True, mine was involved in a minor flooding incident where water was sucked into engine thanks to a winning combination on lowering springs, front splitter and induction kit. I declared everything and they paid out. Going back to you original question though its a tough one to call, on the vauxhalls, its literally the only functon of the sports button, shorter throttle response making it feel faster, but adding no real gains to power
  4. The reason being when I wrote off my celica, I'd had everything declared, but the garage only look at the obvious things, induction kit, body work wheel etc. I had black diamond d&p declared but they said they didnt matter as they were the same diamter etc of standard
  5. I wouldn't declare anything that is uprated oem stock, eg fitting standard sized set of performance d&p. If however Id increased the disc diameter and fitted bigger calipers, Id declare.
  6. Exactly, and i'd always try and buy standard, or a forum member that has done it properly.
  7. And its them that will probably hold value and help the 350z status, a bit like trying to find a reasonably priced s body that's never been drifted, you pay though the nose. Its what made me go for a Zed rather than a 200sx, and I'm so glad I did.
  8. Looking at history once a jdm car gets to a certain age and become eligible for u.s import, the price goes up. Although for big gains it needs to have the rarity that the zed doesn't have, ie the pulsar gtir.
  9. God yes. The GTO was pretty fast too.
  10. Bauhaus Nerves and in the flat fields. I do appreciate bands that put the time and effort in to learn an instrument. Which I why I hate that my daughters like little mix etc.
  11. Agree, the 1st GT with the skylines, supras and mitsi gto woke me up to j-tin well before F&F.
  12. Good recording. I liked the music too it was dark and moody. Kinda reminded me a bit of some Bauhaus tracks.
  13. Suggest a charity auction where employees can rent a parking space a month at a time. Proceeds go to charity so they look like a responsible giving company. Maybe it would encourage those that travel less distance to walk rather than pay out and you can bid on a spot.
  14. Not that crazy, it may help give closure knowing is still looming to be discussed.
  15. Like all things, if you rush and take short cuts it goes wrong. Rim protectors are there for a reason.
  16. I'd say carelessness. Its usually the old tyre removal that causes the damage as the bead has to be broken and the tyre barred off. If they cared they'd use a rim protector that stops the bar touching the rim. The problem is people that think they're ace tend to not use them.
  17. Nice. She needs a wash though

    Tyre Road Noise

    G/year do a BMW fitment on 350z 18"s that is 67db, everything else is around 68-70. The pants ones around 72. Thats a search based on my car though, the 370 is most likely different

    Tyre Road Noise

    If you go onto something like asda tyres and put in your size it'll give you all the mandatory EU tyre specs of rolling resistance, wet grip and noise in db. In my experience the dunlop range tends to be quite quiet.
  20. I live in derby but work in Burton which apparently is (just) staffs.
  21. nothing quite like forward planning. I had to hire an accountant before i bought mine just so I could prove to my better half how affordable it is. But forgot to mention that the tax was more than the insurance.
  22. Mines only just hanging on from before I discovered my car only goes onto my drive backwards, she scrapes going on forwards
