  1. there were huge **** ups in 2007 with the MR2 groups, i remember the admin team doing their nut in over the organisation of JAE
  2. whats your location?
  3. i went to JAE in 2007 and wasn't that impressed. had been told how good it used to be when it was a billing areodrome. not sure what it was like last year at mersea, but it is just down the road for me. definatly want to try out zedfest. but might try jae again if other people are going.
  4. cracking tune, wonder if you can get it as a ring tone for your phone.
  5. welcome if your not used to rear wheel drive, and big engines, take it easy through the winter, the last thing you want to do is over cook it on a corner and become a ditch finding missle.
  6. i got some 4 years ago, mine have just gone, i konw how infuriating it is, i was absolutly fuming. but it was my fault. like you said, have to take it like a man.
  7. never had any contact with those tyres, but i would go with a more well known brand. but if money is tight and this is your only i suggest very little throttle until the sun shines and it aint wet.
  8. how exactly did they catch you? was this an un marked car following you? or a copper by the side of the road with a speed gun? either way they normally show you what you did, in the back of the "neon chessboard"
  9. for leather seats, i use poor boys leather care. its been excellent. helps nourish the leather, and gives it a new leather smell.
  10. ahh neons, i heard they had 5bhp easy to any car
  11. arse no probs, thanks for the heads up, i knew i should have jumped on this earlier as my students say "my bad!"
  12. i used the foliatec on my last car, good stuff. looked like new even after 2 years of solid use. just make sure you don't use it in temperatures under about 15 degrees as it never hardens. i did mine in the winter, and i had to set up 4 heaters in the garage, and use a heat lamp to help them dry. it worked but was a hassle. you could also find decals and add them to the calipers. i added TRD ones to my mr2
  13. ok that makes sense
  14. just looking at your cubby no pun intended. i have an 06 before the facelift interior changes. this should be a direct replacement? there weren't any cubby changes since 04-06 if it helps mine is a lift up door, not a lift up and push back. which yours seems to be the same. how much would the p+p be?
  15. is it me or is this thread confusing i can see a conversation, but the one vital key seems to be missing from the thread. what wheels are we talking about it feels like i have caught half a PM conversation
  16. fair point, would agree with the side wall issue, but for me it just took a short while to adjust my driving style to accomadate for it. if it helps my tyre choice for the 350z when my stones finally give up is going to be a set of vredestein sessanta i've not used them before, but from what i've seen i think they will offer better performance than the toyo's or falkens. but cheaper than the MPS. i have heard some members already use them, and swear by them. might be worth a go.
  17. is it alright on normal wheels like the rays? i haven't used it on my Zed yet, but used to use it on my old car.
  18. i put toyos on my ol d mr2, and for the first 400 miles they were god aweful, it was like driving on tyres omade of jelly. hated them, but once they were all worn in they were much better. and one of the best tyres for that price.
  19. I always thought T-cut was an abrasive, like brasso, it has tiney particles in it that polish out the larger scratches, bit like a liquid piece of wet and dry paper. as for cleaning i had good results from Meguairs wheel cleaner, spray on 1 wheel leave for 15 seconds wash with water, jobs a goodun. don't do all at the same time, as left it could discolour wheels. used sensibly, does no harm at all.
  20. Happy B'Day
  21. i'm pretty new to the forum, but in the short time here i can see how much of an integral cog Big phil is. i have never met the man or your family, but my sincerest apologies for the situation you all find yourself. i hope that Phil makes a speedy and full recovery.
  22. sarnie
  23. i wouldn't want to do that on a test drive, those excesses are very high
  24. domething i had done before was to have a universal sports cat grafted in on the original pipe work, not sure if its possible with the zed but jetex do a few nice units http://www.jetex.co.uk/website/catalysts.php
  25. ok now i'm interested again, looked in to it a while back got put off by the price. now i might get some before the exhaust. so many things i want and not enough money to get them
