  1. What a nightmare, still at least you realised what had happened. Good luck with fishing it out
  2. USPS use Parcelforce to handle UK deliveries. You're quite lucky in that Coventry is the UK hub for post/mail and parcels from outside the UK so it will be not far from you. Give the tracking number to your nearest depot, chances are they have it there
  3. I went with the nismos bud , pickin em up on Saturday Good choice Sir
  4. Unfortunately Shine, whilst being excellent quality, only offer the V2 kit so we can't supply the V1 in urethane at this point in time. You'd be limited to an FRP kit for the V1 as I don't know anyone who offers it in the urethane at the moment. We'll have uprated rear boot struts available shortly, have a supplier putting some kits together at the moment
  5. From: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsp ... 186319.stm Seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher has abandoned his comeback with Ferrari because of a neck injury. The 40-year-old, who retired at the end of 2006, was set to deputise for the injured Felipe Massa at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on 23 August. "Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck which occurred after the private F1-day in Mugello," Schumacher told his website. Schumacher suffered the neck injury in a bike accident in February. "The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident in February, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe," he added. "That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by F1 yet. These are the clear results of the examinations we did on the course of the past two weeks and the final examination on Monday afternoon. "As there were no improvements after the day in Mugello, I decided at short notice on Sunday to do that thorough examination on Monday." Schumacher won five championships with Ferrari and had been working as a consultant for the Italian team before his decision to come out of retirement to stand in for Massa. The German, who claimed his other two drivers' crowns with Benetton, has entered 250 grands prix, winning a record 91 of them. His return was eagerly anticipated but, despite trying everything 'medically or therapeutically' possible, he has had to admit defeat. "I am disappointed to the core," he said. "I am awfully sorry for the guys of Ferrari and for all the fans which crossed fingers for me. "I can only repeat that I tried everything that was within my power. All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races." Brazilian Massa is recovering from the serious head injuries suffered during qualifying for the Hungarian GP. And, while the rest of the F1 drivers were enjoying their mid-season break, Schumacher had embarked on a rigorous training regime, resulting in him losing more than six pounds in weight before calling off his return. "It's hugely disappointing," said David Croft, Radio 5 live's F1 commentator. "The F1 world was very much looking forward to seeing Michael Schumacher locking horns with Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso. "But it's hardly surprising. The g-forces that your neck muscles particularly are exposed to in a modern-day F1 car can take their toll and give you severe punishment during the course of a race. "If you are not 100% fit, there's no way you can think about driving one of these cars."
  6. Unfortunately I can't help with that as Racing Hart Japan have said they can't do anymore, need to find somewhere with one in stock...
  7. Do you happen to have any pics of these on a 'Z' Gaz ? and How much could you do them for with Falkens in 19" I'll try and dig some up, they would come in at less than your budget with Falkens on
  8. Few choices above, we could do you a Finichi package for less than your budget: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ory_ID=283
  9. Can you not check their gtr forum? Im guessing alot of people will upgrade so you could get them cheaper just like rays on here. Wouldn't say alot mind? Maybe in a future yeah but not for a while I would think.
  10. Bodyshop has done a nice job of that
  11. Wow, gotta love Nissan prices
  12. It is an expensive kit, but then it is very good quality. We use the current exchange rate for pricing up parts, its better now than it was. Plus there's the 7.5% discount at the moment It is, typo sorry!
  13. Nice one Mark, the HEL lines are sweet
  14. Yeah the Do-Luck is very nice Good stuff, give me a shout nearer the time I am sure we can help.
  15. No FI allowed!!! Do you want to propose an "Envy" car? Aww Good luck with guys
  16. It sure will, plenty customers have this as there only mod The noise is lovely over 4k revs, the power gains are marginal but you do get improved throttle response. Have fun! Gaz
  17. Barely rained here in over 2 weeks. Gotta love the North
  18. Yeah, until it goes over 200y to the £ again it won't be worth it. I've always had bargain in the past buying at 220-245Y to the £. Also, don't go to the big department stores, go to the duty free areas and into the independent specialists (even they are not so small!). Take your passport (for tax free), and finally HAGGLE. You can always get a deal (say a free memory card or case etc) with a camera, and then the tax off. It does make for a saving
  19. Most personal loans are better really, just depends if you get a deal by the dealer or manufacturer, which is unlikely. Gaz
  20. Hi Gibby, 1st car is stock with a Nismo Type 2 Spoiler and the Wheelmania wheels, 2nd is a full Do-Luck kit with Volk Racing GT-F wheels I'm not a big fan of the Vortex R's for many reasons. There's similar wheels out there by other manufacturers that are much better quality. Gaz
  21. I hear the Hilton is very nice. Its not always expensive, depends where you go like anywhere really. Central Tokyo to Narita in a taxi is never cheap "limobus" is what I normally use, its about £8.
  22. I should be collecting from the depot today. We'll get all the orders sorted out over the weekend be with you early next week
