  1. Yup, they made the two ends of the car more controllable at the limit although they haven't really been on long enough for me to give them a proper review. They were the final part in my suspension changes trying to make the car handle better but sticking with stock suspension, and for that they worked wonders. Sorry, you were just beaten to it.
  2. Sorry, completely forgot in the flurry of PMs! Unfortunately you've been beaten on the slam panel though. The Eibach ARBs will definitely fit the HR car, not sure about the strut brace though: It should do, but probably wants a couple of washers underneath at least. Anyone else have any idea on that?
  3. And the side step covers added, forgot about those too!
  4. Whoops, I knew I forgot something! Post updated, £85.
  5. They're medium compound (GG) which is the best balance between grip and wear I found on previous cars. Soft would give you a fraction more but you'd ruin them so quickly.
  6. Sadly it is time for me to move on, and as such everything on the car must go. Due to time restraints (i.e. the car is going by the end of the week!) I've had to ask the team for permission to put these items up for sale without photos for now, and they've very kindly allowed me to do so on the proviso I get pics up ASAP. All prices are minus shipping, but if you want to collect from Essex then that's fine too. If you wanted to meet half way if you're a bit further afield then I'm happy to travel, just ask! ***EDIT*** All now sold, thank you all!
  7. Pick a number, divide by 24, add your age and then put your phone number on the end. That's as close as you'll get to working out the customs charges. You will be liable, and it'll be roughly +10% of the value of the goods (including postage) and then 17.5% VAT on top of that, and then £20 handling fee max as well. That's only a guide, but it's not going to be far off that. Don't try and get around it by asking the sender to mark down the value of the package as then that's all you'll be insured for if it turns up damaged.
  8. Not in the slightest. Best mod you can do to the car is to sort the brakes, and the extra feel and stopping power a quality setup will give you is worth doing no matter where you're driving. 8-pot fronts would be a bit overkill for just the road, but a decent disc change to the best certainly isn't. All IMHO of course.
  9. Never ever going to fit anywhere near the cubby in a million years. Good luck picking that gauntlet back up!
  10. Insurance, insurance, insurance. That's what it's there for.

    Engine swap

    Swap the car. Far easier and cheaper.
  12. Just what I was thinking! Really can't see the appeal of any flavour of grey or silver in a fun car, it's like watching TV on a 7" black and white set: Technically the same experience, but your eyes deserve so much more.

    Black alloys

    If you can wait a week or two, I'll have my mint condition gloss black Rays with almost new R888s on them for sale.
  14. what is a head bonk??? something the RCPCA should know about You don't know what a head bonk is??!! You know when cats show affection by rubbing their head against you? That's called a head bonk!
  15. My two do, usually when giving me head bonks and it goes right down my collar
  16. I read Car and Evo, but Car is by far and away the best motoring magazine out they a country mile right now. The quality of both the writing and the photography is on another level to the others, and they get noticeably more exclusives recently. Evo is a shadow of what it used to be, however it has improved from the shambles it was 6 months ago.
  17. Sounds like vapourware to me.
  18. Nope, and thank God. It's ugly enough with the soft roof, let alone a big ol' bubble on there!
  19. I believe the magic speed is 40mph
  20. In that case, can you please tell them from me that next time they're going to make an F1 game can they drop the cheating AI please? I know they addressed a lot of the issues on their forum this week (which in fairness was pretty decent of them) and clarified the decision to use pre-determined times for P&Q, but IMHO it was a very poor choice to make and there's still too many issues that still screams of a game that was rushed to release instead of being given some more time and a definitive version released in time for the start of next season. Again, probably a management issue more than a coding one but it reflects very badly on Codies as a whole. /off_soapbox
  21. Absolutely cannot stand eggs in the slightest. Horrible, slimy things Big box of Tangfastics on the other hand...
  22. Head is unblocked Hallucinations have gone Achey pains everywhere Still, day off work so can't really complain I guess. But I will
  23. Just get bog standard legal plates: It's not worth the hassle getting anything else or trying to be clever IMHO. It's a numberplate, they're boring as anything and we've all got to have them.
