  1. Yes mate, there is very little braking function from any caliper. Back to the garage i think. what mark said airlock, and a bad one by the sounds of it.
  2. i love th eblue, but after seeing aquagt4's car the yellow is stunning. go for banana man's car
  3. i love that increased shape plenum can't wait to get my one from scott (not quite the same but should still be good )
  4. its such a special car for nissan they gave it the key from a micra
  5. mines a 2006, but its a 2005 registered as a 2006, a 56 plate is usually a facelift car. differences can be seen inside, heater controls are different, transmission tunnel has some switches in different places etc. if its a facelift the engine is the same as the GT4, the GT4 basically got it early
  6. i am, and still waiting, hence why i haven't fitted it yet, as i am going to do the lot in 1 go. hopefully this thursday done, hoping it will be with me at the weekend. without it i can't go to abbey for a remap. scots doing his best to sort it all out, but the delay is at the other end,
  7. the road to my school looks like the main road of Baghdad after NATO had a go is it a case of reporting it to the council, if they get enough complaints they come out and fix it?
  8. i have got about 32 mpg out of mine, and on a long slow trip have managed 500 miles out of the tank. i'm doing france this summer in the zed for the first time, so will be interesting to see what i get. also will have had a remap by then, so will see if its better still
  9. love the HDR photo. what is HDR?
  10. lost the plot after 2.30min funny start, its a good looking mitsubishi nismo with a cevy short block
  11. Yep probably! But black or chrome would be better! You not got a fixings store near you? Got one just down the road and they have loads of stuff... as mine is off the car I can take one down and see what they have... Wont be till the weekend though there isn't one near me that i'm aware of, plus i like ordering over the net, so i don't have to go into town
  12. thanks ross, saw them, just wondered if they have to be threaded the whole length or not? not dismantled the throttle body yet so a bit unsure
  13. found some but they only sell them in sets of 200 or i can get them individually, but they are 10mm to long and the head isn't as good as the others anyone know of a good supplier? do you reckon the chillis' do them in anodised red?
  14. i find i drive lazy on long drives, its the great thing about the zed, leave it in sixth and it still pulls nicely for overtaking etc. but if you get your gears right they're very handy
  15. i would say 0.8 as well, but i'll wait for mark to clarify tomorrow
  16. its not a little white lie its a big one, i think they call it insurance fraud technically yes - and i would definitely NEVER EVER EVER do it but how they ever gonna know if someone was sooooo stupid enough to claim this?? i think as with most insurance companies, they have an investigation teams, to deal with fraud etc, don't know how they'd prove it, but they'll look for signs, like if the main driver has another car, or is insured on other insurance etc. i don't work in the industry so i'm only clutching at straws. all i do know is insurance companies don't like to pay out, they do it because they have to, but if there is good option out, some will take it, i'd rather be up front and honest, than invalidate it, and risk insurers not paying out in the event of a big crash. might save a couple of £100, but could cost you £1000's premiums are there for a reason, your job is to find the best while still staying legal
  17. just to clarify that length of 60mm is that just the thread or is that including the hex head? i'm guessing its just the thread, having fun trying to source M5x80mm socket head cap screws, so far the places only go up to 60mm or the one i've found jumps to 90. not a major problem as i can cut it down and re tap it.
  18. cheers for the offer of help, once i have the thread pitch, i'll get online and order some
