as long as you can get the details of the person involved, then just put it through the insurance company. i.e. this person hit my car, here is the video evidence. and then your insurer should be able to do the rest from there.

i think you hit the limiter its not a vtec engine as for uploading pics, use something like photobucket to upload them to then copy and paste the IMG link under it once its on the system.

i'm over in ipswich, where are you?

higher mileage is often a safer bet, if it was going to show any major issues it should have done so already. downside is you might need to replace the odd consumable or susspension part if they are a little worn out. best bet is to go check it out. see if its sound if so then its not a bad bet.

sad face if it makes you feel better the jag failed 3 times in a row, each for different things over 3 weeks recently the joys of owning old cars. and the fun of fixing them. hope you get it all sorted soon i want a pax ride (admittedly my extra weight wont help performance but it'll be like the good old days!)

i watched it open mouthed horrific behaviour, and the anti semetic stuff was nasty.

chat to buster, he swears by the waterless system, and uses it on his zed. he was showing it off at the last grasshopper meet.

^^ agree with above but the SC is alot more linear, i think your right with the TT having that surge would make abigger difference. weight wise i'm only 100kg heavier than the zed. but the shear size does take the edge off the speed. agreed as stock i'm better set up for it as it has giant 6 pot brembos 355mm discs 20inch bbs wheels with 285 rubber on them. with that in mind what neil said is bang on any car being boosted needs other aspects bringing up to standard to match it. so better suspension and brakes is a must.

they also have a plastic polish as well plastx i think its called. if using this method, for best results i reckon a DA would do the best job, althogh doing it by hand can achieve the same finish if not with more elbow grease. other option is wet and dry and finish with something like aG3 polishing compound.

having made a jump from 276 to nearly 400 bhp i've not found it that different. nothing to do with my driving, just that i think sometimes there is this idea that the more bhp you have the deadlier the car becomes. yes there is noticably more power, but it hasn't become more of a handful if that makes sense. you adjust fairly quickly to the new power etc. i'm sure neil and anders and keyser and some of the other SC or TT boys know what i mean. i think with alexs TT setup his tyres make a big difference with the 888's the suspension and the brakes are all at the standard required to match the power.

if you have a tripod you could do some time lapse photography and then run it as a video. should cut the 3 hour video down to a 2 min clip.

from a google search thought it was quiet apt. if it helps my XKR apparently is capable of thats 4 litre V8 and a super charger on top and not alot more weight than the Zed, so if you wanted to push the zed down to the 4.5 sec then you'll need more than 400bhp i qould think the zed would need between 450-500 bhp for the 4.5 sec 0-60. depends in the torque provided etc. once keyser is up and running just liek anders both will have zeds that would probably do about a 4.6 maybe less. you'd need to speak to them.

around the 300 mark is about the max for a standard NA setup on the 276. alot depends on what you have to start with what you do and who maps it. the big thing is not to look at what the final figure is but what the overall gain is for your car. also NA setups don't gain tons, but it makes a noticable difference to the drive and feel of the car. berks are good, tarmac is a good source.

just mocking you, not dyslexia. "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" bit of education for you

wow mocking dyslexia nice

i think ill have to wait till the gcse students have gone. i currently have no life other than work at the mo

rule of thumb is white smoke usually means water blue smoke usually means oil.

Just thought I'd better add...I haven't actually tried the carbon wrap from them yet (it's garment vinyl that I get through the company), so I can't comment on the quality of the product but I can vouch for the business as a whole S. I use MDP for sign writing vinyl, they are an easy company to deal with.

Happy B'day you old codger welcome to the 30 something club

before people kick off, I have offered to put £5 in the club kitty if i put the order through for him. don;t want any more people falsely acusing me of something i haven't done and being sensored unfairly

I am currently not a paid trader on here, but i have links with hexis as a business; i can get it shipped out to you from them if thats any help.

i think this might be the same company http://www.touchedinburgh.com/business/list/bid/2630453

it makes more sense to tax for useage not engine size. i have a big 4 litre V8 but do less than 9000 miles a year. compared to a 2.0 eco car doing 25000 a year. just have a get out clause for lorry drivers to keep their costs down. and if they do that they should wack the tax right up, but scrap VAT on fuel. so those that use the roads most pay the most and those who don't pay less. seems fair to me. instead of taxing the crap out of everyone

well if it makes the team feel better i have not been actively seeking business behind the scenes. i've had a few people PM about stuff 2 of which were mates. another i did at cost. and all the VC stuff i've re directed to the manufacturer with out comission. i have too much on my plate at the moment, and those that have asked for stuff have waited weeks for it as i don't physically have the time. i'm in exam season at the moment and up to my eyeballs in assessment and marking. come july when i get close to the summer holidays i'll crank it up and bring some new stuff to the forum, but at the same time i'll pay the traders fee's. basically between jan and jun i rapidly start to go off the radar as the work piles up. easter to jun is the worst period.
