  1. Told you not to do it Jay! Best get someone like Tim come and give it a proper detail (correct any swirls etc), and finish it off with a nice wax. From then on give it a 2 bucket method wash one a fortnight (I know you wont do it weakly!) and top up the wax in a few months. Then after a year of that, get Tim to come back, asses the car and give it a good going over. At the end of the day, vs the running costs of an Aston, getting a pro come and keep it tip top once a year is more than worth the money!
  2. Wouldnt expect anything less around here. I'm starting to get worried about leaving my car outside for fear of it missing its exhaust by morning
  3. Good work Ho, once again I bet the owner is really happy with those results
  4. +1 - always assume you will have to stop, on a bike you might have to, and you wouldnt want to tag them on a bike. Ammount of idiots on the roads these days means I dont ride my bike any more as the only chance I get it stupidly early on a weekend morning, which just isnt economical
  5. Very nice, always loved custard
  6. Interesting find. I've only ever monitored the intake temp. Just goes to prove the std airbox is the best design going! Still love the noise of the popcharger over it though
  7. Nice work Jon, quite an achievement to help Alex out rather than the other way round
  8. Good luck mate, cant wait to see some piccies of it in race action
  9. +1 - playing NFS Shift back to back with Forza 2, NFS doesnt have a patch on the physics when playing with the wheel. FM3 will be awesome I'm sure
  10. Chris Moyles was saying it was ace this morning on the radio. Hopefully they will repeat it soon so I can watch it
  11. Its also mainly that the fans at a dyno cant move anywhere near the volume of air you get when really driving. This means the numbers are artificially high when on a dyno and using popcharger like intakes. So although Andy's temps were up on the dyno, they are probably no different to stock on the road
  12. Heavier clutch? Thought you had the new light as a feather 07 model Stan? Having had my clutch replaced, I am now enjoying the benefits of these new lighter clutches, although I do miss the meatiness of my old clutch sometimes. The real mans clutch is in the 03-05 models
  13. Sounds about the same temps I have seen with my popcharger (near enough the same as the Nismo in this case). On the road the temps drop massively. My inlet temps on the way to the dyno on the day I had mine done were about 17C but when on the dyno rocketed to more than 30C. When back on the road they dropped straight away to ~17C again. Should really break out the airbox and do a run with that and see what difference it makes. The popcharger does suffer from heatsoak when stationary, but when moving its about the same as the std airbox from what I've seen
  14. +1 - also not sure when the fuel filter is changed - if at all - but I guess it should be? Dont have my logbook with me to check
  15. Self inflicted, you get no sympathy around here for that
  16. Good job you dont have Recaros then Stan, they are even more difficult to get in and out of due to the high bolsters. Andy was not impressed with it when he did my clutch although he did say they were comfy when in. I dont have dodgy knees though, I guess thats old age setting in
  17. New clutch and lightweight flywheel time. Will reduce the pressure on your ankle too
  18. Is this repost number 3 or 4? Its definately been posted twice before, if not three times! To lock or not to lock, that is the question
  19. We did ask that at the Chilli's BBQ, he was a bit
  20. alot of the bumpers for the zed are GF, like the nismo But it is pants they are And yes, Andy's is the stealth Zed
  21. He did mention to me that my fog light wasn't very bright, I just replied "I don't think they are on 350Z'ds" Do you have one of these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2pcs-7440-7443-T2 ... 286.c0.m14 Took me a few bulbs to find this one that me and my mate thought would be bright enough to pass. Was cacking it the first time around
  22. Very sneaky, but one obvious way to see if you have been disconnected is to check your internet connection when they say you are disconnected as it will turn off too I can see how loads of people would be caught out by this though
  23. Always drive for what you can see. He was going too fast for someone to be able to pull out on him and not stop. Still, shows you how strong trees are going by one of those pics!
