  1. their thinking probably was that people who race have money, so why not milk them for even more. that or they thought they could increase business by offering more. just looks like they arse raped the ring really.
  2. yeah some people were paying mental prices on 1m cables
  3. sounds like a major f*ck up at the ring, who decided that all that was a bright idea and let them go ahead with it
  4. just because everyone is allowed to sit a driving test doesnt' mean all those that pass it are actually safe to be on the road. i reckon 3 chances to pass and if you don't thats it, wait 10 years and then try again.
  5. i'm trying to work out if i keep paying for HD, it is good, but there aren't many channels with it, and i'm planning on scrapping the movie package as i'm bored of paying so much for all the flipping repeats. and if i don't have the movie channel whats the point of HD
  6. i think he was before the crash, when you watch the great retardedness that was the driving there.
  7. i'm yet to go as long as i'm teaching its unlikely i will b e able to go as it alwyas falls in term time
  8. thats in the states, but yes, reckelss kids in cars dont help in the UK either, nor do the cash for crash schemers or those who just dont bother insuring their cars at all.
  9. looking forward to seein ghtis on the Zed, i have one on my S2k, lovely piece of kit, and sounds amazing.
  10. don't go to nissan the prices are nasty
  11. they are from one of our sponsored traders on here so should be good, and if you speak to husky at akari designs nicely he might even be able to modify them to take LED's
  12. sub 8 minutes, thats going to be a tall order for most on that list
  13. good luck tomorrow, might i suggest taking a mate with you who maybe more subjective as they aren't buying it themselves. i know my cars and can spot a lemon but even i have suffered new buyers blindness so much so that a car i bought about 10 years ago didn't have the AC i though it did in the advert and i didn't check properly when browsing it. i have since learnt that lesson. as a few tips, when pulling away in it, have both windows wound down and listen out for any clicking, its a tell tale sign of clicky axles or tired drop links. neither are car killers but they will need sorting at some point and might give you some leverage. check the tyres, do they all have decent tread, are they all the same make and are they inflated properly. if the tyres are mismatched it would be something i would be looking at changing fairly quickly in this weather, especially if they are a crap make. the clutch when cold maybe sticky in 1st and 2nd; this is normal. but is it still doing it once the car has been warm for 25 minutes or more. lift the bonnet on tick over, does it sound tappety or not, whats the oil level like (check it before you drive it) has the engine already been warmed up for you; if so i'd be asking why? look at the wear on the seat, does it look heavily warn if so i'd be questioning the mileage. check the panel gaps round the car, and check the colour matches all the way round; will show if its had any prangs. if you can get it up on ramps have a look underneath, does it all look the same; are are some bits alot cleaner than other bits, if so are they new, and if so why? when test driving try some down shifts like 5th into 3rd, does it go nicely or crunch in to gear. check the rear back box flanges if you can they are renownd for blowing and needing a new exhaust. hope that helps by the way i'm a nobber too as i had my wheels on my old one powder coated black as well.
  14. its in comparison to the staggered setup. on a staggered setup regardless of tyre width the front always has less grip than the rear as its surface contact patch to the road is less. non staggered setup and the contact patches are identical. the car was given a staggered setup for a reason. and that was to give it the best handling charateristics as standard. i'm not saying non staggered is worse or better but it will change the handling characteristics of the car. an dpossibly make it less predictable than standard.
  15. thats a very well put togehter system, very tidy indeed, look slike it by passes the key transponder with the new sytem there fore negating the need for the key. this would also get rid of the horrible nissan key for something a little more sleek. cant see it causing any issues to insurance as its no different to any of the other keyless entry systems fitted as OEM to other cars. no keyfob no starting the car. no different to any other keyless or keyed system. pisses all over the s2k's push to start system me likey
  16. thats abbey for you; straight up honest service, if work doesnt need doing they won't charge you for it. as they know you'll come back once you do need it because their service is so good.
  17. that nissan one you found is good because it has the full oem finish to it. but i was just going to mount mine into the towing eye cover on the rear. some of the really cheap ones can have a nasty fish eye effect to them or just generally poor visibility. but alot of the ones on ebay most people on here use. that was just the first one i found on ebay, have a browse probably find something even better.
  18. non staggered setup will increase the grip at the front and increase the cars potential to oversteer, for a drifitng purpose this is probably beneficial. its fine to run non staggered setup but i'd get the cars geo set for the purpose you intend to use the car. if you plan to use it as an every day car, something like a fast road setup might be best and would hopefully be able to dial back the oversteer for more precise driving. or a track setup if you do alot of track work
  19. cant beat the roof down action in the winter. reminds me i should really take my hard top off
  20. lucy's hire car has a camera and i have to run my finger over it every few days so we can see out properly
  21. any pics with the guide lines up chris?
