  1. do they make the goodyears in the right size, i know the eagle f1's could only be got for the rears i think, but you couldn't get them for the front. don't know if its the same for the asymetrics.
  2. Ahahhahahaha makes a change................have never asked for anyone to get banned - only time have spat the dummy was over the noob who arrived and straight away proposed a beauty contest spat the dummie out understatement of the year. more like hurled it acoss the room and indented it into a concrete wall
  3. without being there its difficult to diagnose a noise. if the car wasn't moving and you turned the wheel onto full lock it might have caused the sqweek, but how loud i don't know. without more info its not an easy guess. would need to know what the car was doing at the time when and where it happened etc. my advice, put the car back in the same place and redo the wheel turn manouver. if its the new tyres the their is the same conditions it should do it again. if it doesn't i tmight be something else. keep an eye on it and see if and when it comes back. might just be a one off.
  4. got one pre ordered in the store but won't have it till i collect it which would be the weekend. i have a gift card, but i don't think i can use it on the website to get it mailed to me.
  5. if it has a new tyre on it maybe that which squeeked, new tyres have a release agent on them and until they wear off it can make the wheels a bit squeeky, just like wet trainers on a school corridor floor.
  6. never heard of these before intesrested to see whats in your box. ooh err missus
  7. the old david and goliath setup
  8. its not a happy forum tonight, maybe its having its own digital time of the month
  9. glad you got a good service from nissan, as its a rare and uncommon occurance. most are completely useless.
  10. 2nd time today its done it
  11. not feeling it. but bet it drives like a beast.
  12. we could test it next time? i do love a good cider, always made me laugh a few years ago i got some proper scrumpy from the legless but smiling cider farm in cornawall. comes in a nice 4 pint jug. me and my mate cracked one open had 2 pints each, i was nicely rosey, but my mate ended up going to the loo to be ill, couldn't hack the booze in the scrumpy. made me laugh as he always talked the talk
  13. i used to be able to tuck away 7 or 8 pints of turbo diesel and still be able to walk home with out being sick these days i reckon 3 or 4 and i'll be pushing it
  14. thats really good going mate, glad to hear it kicking off. maybe my projections of 50 sales in the next 12 months mayt be a bit of an underestimation
  15. i think most people do, i just prefered to call it diesel as it looked like agricultural red diesel, and drinking either of them is never going to be good for you as for grape and grain. cider is classed as grape as it comes from a fruit where as beer is a grain.
  16. you own a pagani? and more shockingly it has pen control
  17. excellent job, there it gets a Mr T's A* grade
  18. to get the internal airflow dynamics right, you'd need to send it to a specialist to fine tune it. and we're talking about £1000's of pounds of testing to get it right. and all for a part that may or may not make about 10bhp. by fine tuning it you might gain 1 or 2 bhp. is all that financial investment for development really worth 2 bhp on an item that will probably only make about 50 sales( i could be wrong on this, but short term you've got us and the yank forums) will take a while to go further and take off.)
  19. best type of drinks are the ones that mix grape and grain. used to drink diesel (half cider,half lager, splash of blackcurrent)at uni, but my favourite was turbo diesel. (same as above but with a shot of vodka in it)
  20. shall we just dyno it and see what happens.
  21. my wife watches this, its bloody f*ckwit TV. britians got the sh1T factor. regardless of who wins their shelf life like most things will be very short. the only winners out of this are the music producers.
  22. i didn't need to go all day, so wouldn't know what the loos were like
  23. you wanna come spend ime in my workshops then, its like an aladdins cave of tools.
  24. not tried the asymetrics, but have previously used the eagle F1's the grip on them was good, but i found the side walls were horribly soft, and they seemed to pick up punctures far easier than other tyres, and they shredded on rough surfaces like gravel. i have the sessantas and have been very happy with them, nice stiff sidewalls like the bridgestones, excellent grip dry and wet. still very progressive breakaway. and alot harder to get the tyre to loose traction compared to the stones. this website has been very useful and also links to sevaral tyre review articles done in magazines internationally. and nationally. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/
  25. i'll put my plate through the bandsaw at work tomorrow
