  1. 5 max, otherwise the site blows up
  2. i'd go hfc's, mot regs are being tightened, which also means so are the VOSA. also decats aren't road legal so technically your insurance is void as well.
  3. you'd be shocked at whats in fashion at the moment, alot of my male students are back into knit wear, and its the kind of jumpers my nan used to knit for me and i was never that sure on. think sinatra at christmas infront of the tree stylee i am suprising down with the kids, being i work with them every day, they keep me upto date with most stuff.
  4. yeah i noticed i've lost my badges of honour, couple of others still have theres though
  5. sorry i write how i speak, what you get on the forum is the same as if i was down the pub with you. sadly typed sarcasm and humour or personality never come across on a forum. to me this looks bad but thats cos i'm not down with the kids. drifiting is what you do on a track by accident if you over cook a corner. as to me sliding is slower. and stretched tyres are what you do when you've bought the wrong sized wheels for your car or can;t afford proper fitting tyres. and cars with tons of camber look like the suspensions broken. but all this does not make me right; just out of touch. i'm just an old school traditionalist with a flat cap and a wippet, might even start sewing my own elbow pads on my tweed jackets.

    tyres?

    http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/5174-tyre-guide-post-your-tyre-review-here/ have a browse through that thread; pretty much answers all questions you have asked or are about to ask. short version of it is: for ultimate grip for the car r888's are the daddy but its a track tyre and only come sin 40 profile so next best step is michelin pilot sports preferabbly the PS2 but the new PSS are very good. or something like the bridgestone re050a's or goodyear eagle f1 assymetrics. but the down side is they are at the costly end of the scale. so if you don;t want to sink a grand into tyres the aim is to get the best grip and performance/value for money. at this point it gets down to personal preferences and everyone seems to have their own ideas but general consensus is: falken 452's toyo t1r's vredestein ultrac sessantas kuhmo ku31 these are what are deemed as the minimal tyre point, anything under this price bracket is deemed ditchfinder hedge missile. bear in mind the falken toyo and vreds are all being phased out and replaced. so the short answer is anything as cheap as a toyo up to something like the michelin PSS and anything in between.
  8. pm sent
  9. i voted nay, there is about 3 threads and about 5 people who track their cars on a regualr basis. works just fine in the offtopic area
  10. is this a zed related motorsport area, or an all encompassing anything goes motorsport board area?
  11. i think the stretched tyre is the way of the r-tard. but if needs must and you have to ruin the car, i think you are looking at about a 1" difference in wheel widths; between the old wheel and the new wheel. you'd need to go check a r-tard website to check what is do able with a tyre. I think it would probably work but it will change the rolling radius of the tyre so will put your speedo out, and may affect TCS.
  12. nice looking motor
  13. sell the tyres and buy ones that fit properly.
  14. i use a magnetic jobby, it sticks to the dash, and makes adding and removing the phone a doddle, and as its only stuck on it will come off later.
  15. i like the use of spoiler links makes the page far more readable
  16. have you asked riceys permission to convert to otterisms?
  17. sliced bread; husky invented that, the light bulb; that was husky too. internet porn; that was huskies idea first. masturbation; where do you think the term beating the dog comes from; that's right; husky. sharing things on the internet; apparently only husky is allowed to do it, and if you do it first he must be referenced into the post as the creator and interweb god. ill amend the op.
  18. an jag will rust in a sealed vat of preserving oil. its mission goal in life is to rust.
  19. am on my phone, hate typing on it.
  20. yes because you started the original post of course. oh no hangon you shared it from someone else. get over it you did not create the interweb. but yes you do spend a lot of time on it.
  21. not seen those wheels before, I like them, as for the car, sad state, but its only an 8. will clean up nicely for someone. other great advantage of a jag in Dubai, it will have no rust what so ever.
  22. hexis do a range of tinting films and I think a kit to apply with as well can check for you if you like. I did get some samples as I looked at supplying it. but never got round to it. I watched the guy do my jag. it is an art, but a lot is down to technique. they cut and shaped the film externally on the window first. used liquid to get rid of bubbles, and heated the film with a heat gun to shape the film on curves. I would say if you can wrap you'll pick up the tinting skill quiet quickly.
