  1. That late , i left work at 7 this morning. Your pimp kept you busy then last night? Be careful boy's or else i will abuse my power's
  2. Yeah i ll just do that. Full replacement it is Thanks!!!!! So you running on the Redstuff to? My rear pads have thin rubber pads that need sticking on back to reduce brake noise. So there need cutting into shape and stuck on. Problem is that its not an even surface therefore its going to be hard to shape them i.e there are round dips, do i need to cut a hole on the rubber?? 350matty There certainly shouldn't be any rubber to go on the back of the pads. With the pressure a brake cylinder will create on it, it will just go through rubber. The shims that go on the back of the pads are usually metal. BTW, I am running Redstuff all round.
  3. That was my plan just a towel or bluetac. Few clips nice, so i wont be needing any tool that ive not heard of? Thanks Yeah, you'll need a long piece of metal with a flat end and a handle thingy, to pop the whatchumacallits of the rear Zed bar thingy.

  5. Doesn't he employ about 5,000 people as well though, and have his enitre hareem living with him?!
  6. Looks good Kev - where is it on this windy little island?
  7. They've also go a gold plated Ferrari F40 and a fully chromed Audi A8.
  8. I think he's referring to Lampards first course for breakfast. Off his rocker though.....
  9. And I had the opposite experience a couple of years ago.
  10. It could be the switch itself. Have you got a circuit tester / multimeter? Find out which wire takes the power from the switch to the window and check to see if it's sending any signal.
  11. A very sad day, and taking two young children too. A legend gone, and another helicopter crach statistic (and in Scotland again!). Will be remembered for those Scooby days and being WRC.

    o my god!!!

    Have you driven any of the previous generation Zeds? Be interesting to hear your comparisons.... But regarding the interior quality, the 07 is said to be better than the previous ones. IMO it starts life fine, just doesn't age well. As I found out at the weekend though, this is nothing some OTT detailing can't deal with!!
  13. So does his and it doesn't sound great, in fact almost silent in the car. And no, they're not. But I think you're either a Scooby or and Evo person.

    o my god!!!

    Pleased to hear you liked it. Was it an 07 MY Roadster?
  15. Looking good Jamie! Who did the W6V2 install, looks a snug fit
  16. What's wrong with a Scooby. Mine was faster than a Zed and handled better on any average UK road.. I have this very dilemma - ugly as sin (Evo is much more Playstation Generation for me! ) but fast as hell. Built by hand fisted pygmies but handles like a dream. My mate has an 07 WRX STi Type UK (plus a few other badges I think) and we did a test Zed vs Scooby back to back. I wanted his for the 4 wheel drive, he wanted mine for the noise and ease of drive.
  17. You'd be surprised. My brother used to work for Prodrive and they were constantly redesigning bits all through the season, and the car that started rarely resembled the final one of the season (mainly aerodynamically). Any of you that have been past or into McLaren's site in Woking would know how much money and secrecy is in the sport. Their site is so large and well protected, you cannot see the buildings from outside the boundary. It is hyper high tech and contains simulations of all the stresses etc. of a racing circuit. Wind tunnels and local tests can give feedback if something is working as a change. In theory, McLaren could have benefitted hugely...... However, I think Ron Dennis is a victim of a stroppy driver and a devious pair of staff from both his organisation and Ferrari's. I used to work for one of McLaren's official professional advising companies, the work being done out of the office I was in. The clearance he expected to put people through before they went in makes UK Government clearance look like a walk in the park. Even when in, getting information was so hard, and they were obliged to give it to us! I think the reason he put the evidence forward is because he believed he had nothing to hide. Whether that is delusion or true, we will never really know. These designers move teams and there's every chance there could be similar technology between the cars, that is their own IP. THerefore they have the IPR and because of people ignoring the spirit and rules someone who has worked so hard finds himself with a $100m cheque to write. BTW, I don't necessarily blame Ferrari for calling it. Any of us would do the same, and it's the FIA at blame if they have unbalanced representation on the board. I hope the individuals get what they deserve.....
  18. ooh, I love it when you talk dirty Hands off!
  19. Ridiculous and all for one day too What else would you have to look forward to between November and February without it?! At least you can Plenty..... my life is not that dull to rely on a few days in December, and i eat and drink all year round. Cant do with all the chaos it cause's and to be honest not that many know the real meaning of christmas apart from spending huge sums of money they have not got. I agree with Beavis. Christmas is the furthest thing from my mind. I personally look forward to the Autosport show in January - fast cars, fast gals, no comparison Each to their own - I look forward to it, it seems to lift my family and friends so IMO that can only be a good thing

  21. Are you dropping hints for presents then?
  22. The car is in a bit of a state at the moment. If I can get it in a decent state later I'll see about heading down - otherwise it'll be embarrasing!!
