  1. It's free for one year and then you have to pay. I've just upgraded from the old 500 to an XL Europe, and that's the same content in the pack as that one. Speaking of which, unless you want it for the small size for the same price as that ONE you should be able to get an XL which has a much bigger screen. Honestly, don't use the included TT speed cams as they're utter rubbish. There's a good few missing and they don't include the mobile sites, which is what I find the PGPSW ones particularly good for. If you're going to spend £130 on something, another £19 isn't that much more on top at all.
  2. I use the TT for GPS speed cam locations, but I never bother with the official ones as they're slightly rubbish. Go to PocketGPSWorld and pay £19 per year for a fully speed-zoned and type set of the buggers. Far more accurate and dead cheap
  3. Is that literally all you want? No subs, better speakers, nothing? If that's the case, then read the pages on 350Z-tech.com and do it yourself, as it's really not that hard at all. Honest!
  4. Agreed. Right up there with the one just after Angus got caught playing with naughty ladies, absolutely hysterical! "GORDON'S ALIVE!" :lol:
  5. Not by much perhaps, but it will alter it for the worse. 45% of 255mm is more than 45% of 245mm. *EDIT* using this handy site, with 255 tyres on the speedo will read 1.3% too slow.

    Not unless you're driving at 100mph in the first 3 gears in a straight line it's not. @Sarnie: We're on about the 330D, not the 335D.
  7. Yup, the second number is the height of the sidewall expressed as a percentage of the width, which is in mm.

    0-whatever times are pretty irrelevant unless you're on the drag strip. In-gear acceleration and torque is what counts after you've started moving, and that's why the 330D is a fantastic cruising car. A well-driven Zed should happily keep up with it all day long, but if you get things wrong then the Beemer is going to walk away.

    330Ds are hugely quick when moving, look at the torque they put out. No shame there I reckon.
  10. Nice one, cheers Phil. And yes, this does mean that those bits I got from you are still sitting in a box in the lounge
  11. As per the title, really. Any ideas as to how long it should take a reasonably competent garage to do a pad change, fluid change, and fit a set of Goodridge lines on a Brembo'd Zed? Couple of hours tops? Thanks!
  12. Or you could use Photoshop Express Beta. Just say you're from the US when signing up, they don't check at all and you get access to all the shiny goodness that Adobe can offer. Whilst it's not exactly CS3, it is very good and the quick tools do work well.
  13. Stolen from Wiki: I'd be expecting to see the lower end of that scale for an OEM tune, but certainly not in the 11s.
  14. LM1 Terrific piece of kit.
  15. They're still sitting in the bags they came in, as a quick test of them in really didn't sound a whole lot different (admittedly this wasn't under load) so I'm going to leave them out for now. I plan to do a noise test just for the laughs really, so I'll get some video of the bungs in when I do that (hopefully next week).
  16. That's what the volume control on your PC is for ;) The only trouble with the videos of the K1 posted up (mine included) is that they don't convey the bass across properly. That's what really makes it a very special sound.
  17. Videos! Quite a difference, eh?!
  18. Not really worried about as a sniffer can only detect so much as it's post-cat, but assuming it's close enough to the true reading it's getting dangerously rich at the top end, possibly getting towards bore wash perhaps?
  19. Runs quite rich, doesn't it? 11-11.5 is what I'd expect an FI engine to run, not an NA one. How did they get the AFR? Sniffer at the exhaust tip, or have you had a separate hole for a proper wideband sensor added before the cats?
  20. In all fairness I wouldn't actually be that surprised: I know people have said it's loud on here but I didn't quite believe how loud! Great tone though, and exactly what I was after so no complaints here.
  21. Probably, but I left it round my mate's place as it's filthy and I didn't want to get the interior dirty I've got to refit it for a trackday next month anyway, so it might as well stay there for now. Managed to get the entire ESR exhaust in the Zed including Y-Pipe AND was still able to get the roof back up!
  22. It's on! Oh. My. Dear. God. It's as if there's a small thermonuclear device somewhere between the V6 and the end of the exhaust, and every time you stamp on the accelerator a small part of it is unleashed! It's loud, very loud, and yet it retains a beautiful tone that truly sings when you want it to (one of the the slip roads that joins the A10 is now a favourite of mine, as booting it down there and redlining in 1st and 2nd was simply amazing!). I'll be honest: It is a tad boomy on partial throttle at times, but then that's exactly what Phil said to expect and it should settle down nicely in a few hundred miles once there's a good build up of soot throughout the system. Bear in mind though that I'm running this sans inserts for now, as the tone when under load is just too nice to ignore. I also can no longer do subtle at all, as my return journey via Braintree town centre proved I love it. It's a real quality piece of kit and there were absolutely no fitment issues at all, which you rarely get from small suppliers/manufacturers. Pleasure doing business with you Phil, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this exhaust to the attention whores amongst us out there PS: For sh*ts and giggles, when we were halfway through the process with the stock backbox and mid-pipe removed and just the y-pipe and cats left on, we thought it'd be fun to fire it up in my mate's garage where we were doing the install, because we're childish like that Not only was it a glorious sound, but even putting the rest of the exhaust on didn't really sound like it was any quieter!
  23. Got mine today! Fitting it Saturday, so will be sure to get loads of before + after footage and sort some clips out. Beautiful piece of kit too, seriously impressed with the quality of it.
  24. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to drive it, just wouldn't own it
