  1. You can do on the road mapping you know, and arguably its better than on the rollers. A lot of the MLR boys map theirs on the road with the opensource software you can get to map Evos. Seen some amazing results, proven by proper dyno measurements. Personally I wouldnt map it myself though, I dont know what I'm doing.
  2. Then it'll not be genuine Nismo It'll be unique! Most certainly would be! But shock horror it would be "fake" Do it James, it will look excellent
  3. These are the men in the know apparenty .... Give them a call I guess!!
  4. I can ask Amanda's brother, he sources hard to find electonic parts. Granted its usually chips and not whole boards, but I can ask. You will most definately be better off buying a new laptop for £500 than replacing the board though
  5. I thought it was brilliant when Montoya came along and tried to take him out into one of the corners! Cant remember which race it was but it was so blatent he was just going after Schuey
  6. Keeping it outside at the moment gives a REAL wet look at the moment mate! Since using Dodojuice, I've dumped using EGP and I think the shine is better. Dodo is so much harder wearing than P21S was that I top it up just the same, but it never gets back to where the sealant used to be. As with all these products its a case of giving different combos a go and see what it does
  7. Much easier when you are on the Show and Shine stand just by the pits
  8. +1 - well worth long drives to them too! In my case at least a 1500mile round trip to Scotland in Sept
  9. BAD new owner! Glad you managed to make it all like new again Paul
  10. I'm sure the FXX he tests and drives all the time is quite similar to an F1 car in many ways. Wonder where he stands technically if he has his own F1 car and just so happens to do a track day at Maranello? Excatly...you don't have a dream job at Ferrari without any perks, right? Dont know what the official rules are around testing, but could they not just use last years car for training? Then its not testing of the car, but good enough to get his feel back.
  11. Once a day? Is that because you only leave to sleep

  13. 2cm wider tyres? They will just look bulgy and rubbish. Get spacers current tyre size rear on my yoke (JDM) = 235 20mm wider = 255 ... suppose that's wider in both directions (a bit I'd guess) so lets take another 20mm = 275... Where I would want to be in tyre width when I'm finished = 275 Bah just get new wheels and tyres, you know you will in the end
  14. We can see from the site stats Google Analytics makes interesting reading if you're a geek! there are site stats that tell you how often i hit that button brilliant. Well not you per se, but everybody Should we start to see a loss of interest in the site, we could use analytics to very good avantage, but as it is we have more than enough members to keep us busy

  16. Agree with the others, make sure its good. The Zed is short already and putting cheap crap on will only make it notchy and horrible to change. Alex will set you right, if correctly set its nice and smooth. I remember we had a thread on it a while back and it was recommended to take your time and test it out before reassembly so you can set it to feel how you like it, that was the number one mistake made when people moaned they didnt work properly.
  17. My laptop comes everywhere and I make sure I get free net at all hotels or B&Bs, as Amanda will detest, she hates it A requirement for all Hoon accomodation was free net access so we can post pics as we go
  18. Shows you how random it is
  19. 2cm wider tyres? They will just look bulgy and rubbish. Get spacers
  20. Yeah do it proper rally slag stylee all the way home!
  21. +1, do that and do it quick, before someone else does As the others have said you will never be original unless you go very extreme like Pauls green machine. I thought my Varis lip was quite rare until a container load landed for one of the traders then every bugger had one You just have to make nice little tweaks to make it look different.
  22. Forgot about that thread, well remembered
  23. It's a hard life. Can see you arm twisted behind your back. It has its benefits, like attending meets and seeing massive amounts of these glorious cars all lined up and sparkling and hooning around the finest roads this rock has to offer Quarantine and cold turkey is the only way. But no one has ever managed it without a ban yet
  24. 1. what are the purpose of spacers? To change the stance of the wheels, fill out the arches properly 2. do they make the car handle better or worst? Make near to sod all difference unless you are tracking it, even they you prob wont notice 3. what's the best size to go for? Depends on what wheels, but 20-25mm at a guess, see CS thread 4. does anything else need to be done when these are fitted? (alignment etc) Shouldnt need doing unless your car is lowered. But might be worth a check when you next get tyres 5. does anyone have good pics to show the difference in stock and with spacers fitted? See CS thread he PMd
