  1. Saturday 1st June.
  2. Pin maps isnt the same though.... i miss the old way too! I also really miss the join date as i think that was really useful as well - but i understand both were removed to limit the number od backend db calls that were required?
  3. How much were you quoted for the refurb? I would expect it to be only £40-60 per wheel? As for attacking it yourself, you could give the method i used on my Volk lips a try... i.e. use a polishing drill bit attachment and some metal polish, and try to restore the lips that way. However this corrosion looks quite bad so im not sure whether this would be successful at all. You might need to use a more abrasive polish/drill bit to return it to the bare metal before lacquering it yourself manually. Last option would be to spray it yourself using rattlecans, or even plastidip if you want an easier job and arent looking for a shiny finish.
  4. +13000k = still bright, but very yellow 4300k = brightest, OE HID color, white with a slight hint of yellow 5000k = still bright, white with a hint of blue 6000k = noticeably less bright, fairly blue 8000k+ = don't even think about it - way too dim and way too blue/purple I've had 4300k, 8000k and 10000k, and i would update the list with the following personally: 4300k = Yellow! 8000k = Perfect white similar light output to 4300k 10000k = White with a slight hint of blue. Less light output than 8000k, but not terrible.
  5. I think i have the same lip on my V1 so it raises the panel slightly towards the rear? I found that with the bonnet latch down, it held it into place really well. Also my 6 poppers are really tight so hold it in there very well... are yours a snug fit or are they a bit loose? Lastly i did adjust my bonnet catch, but even had to lower it slightly after first moving it as it was about 3mm too high.

    NISMO Body kit

    Exactly right. You'll definitely be able to find one that's already kitted for that price.
  7. An awful lot of zeds suffer from crunching gears (mine included). 1. Replace the gearbox oil and add Molyslip. (PM ZMANALEX for the correct fluids). 2. Double clutch gear change on the affected gears. i.e. on my car from 2nd to third, i press the clutch, change from 2nd to neutral, release the clutch and press it again, and change into third. You get used to it in no time (and from habit i now do it when driving other cars too!)
  8. PM Sent.
  9. If you dont want to pay full whack for a new one, then look for a 2 or a 3. iPad 1 is about 4 years old now isnt it so will be well out of date. In terms of space i wish i had a bigger one (dont we all ) At 16GB im constantly deleting apps and reinstalling them when i need space.
  10. Yep got mine from Tarmac above. Great service.
  11. Just get the bulbs off eBay - only about a tenner each. I've got 10000k in mine and they're a lovely colour... Go for them!
  12. Quality.
  13. So it would seem that the Xbox One has been announced today as the next generation of Xbox console. Bit of a crappy name if you ask me, seeing as the Xbox one came out about 10 years ago! I preferred the Xbox Infinity name that was being discussed for the last few weeks. Anyway i've just read all of the release info and im a bit underwhelmed at the moment. Set for release later this year it's going to be a fully integrated home entertainment system, or all in 'one' device, hence the name. It will have an integrated Blu-Ray Player and Kinect with a 1080p camera, and has been designed to watch your standard TV through it too (via HDMI-in port) to give you additional features on top of your standard TV - for example voice and motion controlled EPG, and realtime web browsing whilst not interfering with what you're watching. As of yet though i've not seen any specific innovations on the gaming front... just a few trailers for Forza 5 and the new CoD etc... but even the graphics dont seem to be much of a step up on the current generation so im not sure what the differences are going to be? I'd also be interested to see if the planned GTA 5 is going to be affected at all. This was originally due out in Q1 this year but has been pushed back until September... but are Rockstar really going to bring this out 1-2 months before the next gen consoles come out? I think i'll be disappointed if they do.... Fairly good release information here: http://www.pocket-li...ou-need-to-know [media] [/media] With regards to the PS4... i'd be interested to here other people's opinion's on it as i've not followed it's release at all... i briefly owned a PS3 but found the Xbox to be the better console. Is anyone here going to go for one of these over the Xbox?
  14. I was going to suggest Rocher as you should be able to get in there. I've been recommended to go to Rocher as you see much of the swimming pool area, the Ras Cas and the back of the Pits, and you also get a big TV screen infront of you. However it's just a grassy hill and you have to be there hours before the race and then not move for fear of losing your spot. I dont know if you can take fold up chairs but i would do. EDIT: I just looked on youtube and you seem to have a choice of view points from Rocher...
  15. It's hardly a scam though is it?? A mistake has been made... if the seller mis-represented the item and told you something which turned out to not be true then he should offer you a refund. But if he doesnt it's not the end of the world... just put it back up for sale! You shouldnt lose much, if any money on it.
  16. Cheers Ian.
  17. Picked up my cooling panel from Chris at Japfest and finally fitted it this weekend. Got to say i'm very happy with it - it's a great bit of kit. I needed to adjust the bonnet latch as per Chris' guide, but other than that it was a very easy fit. Also fitted my Rare JDM engine cover too before Japfest... although - is it supposed to have an extra piece which covers the front of the engine slightly?
  18. Very cool mate.
  19. Great, glad it was of use to you. Now get a video of it up!
  20. Been busy with my new Range Rover!
  21. Picked mine up from Chris at Japfest. I've not fitted it yet but it's definitely a quality bit of kit and im very happy with it. Much appreciated Chris! The pics dont show the colour at all, but it's a really nice shade of blue.
  22. That's totally badass man! Loving the rims on the Range. Not sure what to do with mine yet... will probably keep them standard for the time being. Not arranged the cars in anyway at all, just plonked on my drive, but here's some (filthy) pics.
  23. Have you still got your Zed too? Awesome. Im looking forward to taking a pic of mine on the drive actually.... with the Range behind and the Zed infront. Might be a bit hard to setup though, as we can only drive 1 car at a time :lol:
