Eagle f1 supersports for me, very happy with them similar dry grip to a semi slick but far superior wet performance

I love the idea that lab grown is somehow worse than the filth you see on a farm

 

Wanna expand on that? What filth do you see on farms?

Sounds interesting? Tell us more?

My old neighbour is pretty famous he had an affair and it hit front page on most papers and I was quoted as "his closest neighbour" 

I was quoted in the daily mail and I never even spoke to anyone from the daily mail, also what the quoted me to say never happened, they truly are special at that "news" paper

Yea they are not cheap, especially as there is not much to it, but what is there is really nicely made

Quick Google bought this up:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WORKSBELL-CARBON-PADDLE-COLUMN-SHIFTER-KIT-FOR-NISSAN-350Z-G35-AT-STEERING-WHEEL-/291998055935?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

So looks like they are still about 

It looks like the night pager is if you remove a wheel that has paddle shifters integrated into it. 

 I have the works bell kit and love it, I never have the car in full auto anymore. £345 sounds expensive but I'd say its worth it

I've been using 99ron from a Tesco store in the North West (Blackpool Marton store) will this Esso fuel be superior to the Tesco stuff, I know they are with basic fuels, but is 99ron just 99ron wherever you go? cheers

Basic fuel will prob all be the same but different companies add different additives so chances are esso will be better than tesco 

I have an HKS sld on my v35 parts car if you are interested? 

Just in time, headunit arrived yesterday, harnesses will be here Tuesday, I'm like you and struggle with some online guides this makes it a lot simpler to decifer, cheers! 

I had a track specced bridgeported rx8 that on track was amazing, far more capable than the 350z buuuuut fuel economy was awful cooling was bad no matter what I did and just general maintanace was a bit much. The 350 is not as agile or as quick but I just drove to nur getting 30mpg on journey out, cooling temps never went over 99 (I have a bigger rad) and was still good on track, I wouldn't go back to an 8 now

Have you replaced the rear lower shock bushing as the oem ones can weld themselves to the bolt which is always a fun time

Absolutely nothing, Jez is one of the best

Is your mirrors switch on door card set to open? 

Is your mirrors switch on door card set to open? 

Mine was doing the same after my mot and pressing that sorted it, I will have a play around and see if its a specific sequence the buttons need to be in

Mine has a button by my right knee that  i press to turn that in

I'm a bit jealous, my s14 is my favourite car I have owned, only sold it as I got into skylines, really regret selling it now

Could be a reaction, always best to use same brand primer, colour and clear just in case

I'd be interested in the y pipe 

If you know Jez you know he won't sell anything just to get money. 

Our cars are getting on now and earth points and leads are getting on a bit, no harm in spending a few quid to make sure everything is right. 

I tend to earth the block, throttle body and alternator. You probably get more gains from re grounding everything than a £140 induction kit

Try re bedding them in, more often it's pad deposits rather than warping

Just put oil in till the dipstick says its full, depending how its mounted depends if it will drain out when you drain the sump

If they are comparable to a 100 threadwear tyre like the R888R's then that is super impressive.

 

Certainly isn't true for the Michelins which from my experience are amazing on the road but have too softer side wall for track, so much so that edges start to delaminate 

The sidewall is why I went for them over the mp4s, I like a stiff sidewall, that's basically what the choice comes down to according to most reviews, do you like a stiff sidewall or a weaker one...

Roughly how many miles have you done on them? What tyres did you have on previously? 

I'm on about 600 miles now, 250 off those is on track, for the last ten years or so I have always run semi slicks, either ad08r, r888/r or 595rsr, the f1s have nearly the same grip levels of a good semi slick in dry and when it rains they have an insane amount of grip
