  1. FFS I really must stop buying guitar stuff I always wanted one when I was a kid, and who cares how it plays when it looks like that! Plus it was only £30 so what the heck
  2. Last time I saw a heroin addict high? That'd be me the other week in hospital smashed off my nut on morphine then :lol:
  3. Totally agree, it is pointless, but this is a bit pot kettle black.
  4. Corbyn now refusing to do a TV debate without May. Apparently that makes her weak, but him strong. Yeah okay mate...
  5. You definitely want to check that the cut outs can support harnesses, I can't see a reclining seat being an issue as long as it's in a normal position. Obviously laid flat back would be dangerous, but then it would be with the normal seat belts too.
  6. 6 point is ideal, but 4 point is fine too as long as it's done up snugly. I run 4 points in my cars, put it that way. 6 points will require you to add additional mounting points for the crotch straps, which probably isn't something you want to do I think.
  7. It's not the anti-social side that bothers me, it's the hypocrisy of taxing something that is so bloody terrible for you. We keep other bad drugs illegal, why does tobacco get a free ride? Actually, I'd much rather see drugs legalised and taxed as well, extra revenue stream.
  8. No, harnesses must ALWAYS be done up tight enough so that they pin you to the seat. Otherwise you run the very real risk of slipping out in a crash (submarining) which can cause horrendous damage to the person. If you can move away from the seat, they're not tight enough. But they're perfectly comfortable anyway, they actually support you in the right places more so can be more comfortable than a seat belt which lets you slouch. Unless she's a GG cup (in which case pxplxz), she'll be absolutely fine. Rich is right, keep the stock belts as well and then she can wear those instead.
  9. Yup, in theory you just bolt the harness bar in, wrap the harnesses around that, then bolt the lower lap belts into the existing seat belt mounting points wherever they're located. You may need longer bolts though.
  10. Harness-styled seatbelt? Do you just mean harnesses? You can use regular harnesses on those seats, you just bring the lapbelts over where the existing lapbelt would go.
  11. HS2 is a good one actually, why Labour haven't gone after that given how unpopular it is I don't know.
  12. I really wish they'd just double (or triple) the tax on smoking really. Everyone agrees it's a crappy habit, has no benefits at all, so either tax the heck out of it or ban it altogether. And while we're there, let's start taxing vaping properly as well. Disgusting habit, I don't care if it's healthier or not, bloody great plumes of smoke being puffed in your face isn't pleasant.
  13. I use the Autosmart ones. Not much of their stuff is worth buying, but the clay cloths are excellent.
  14. Tell you what made me laugh this morning, Labour's announcement that all NHS staff will be given a pay rise and that tuition fees for training will be cancelled. What planet are they actually on? No-one disagrees with the fact that frontline NHS staff don't really get paid enough, or work too many hours for the pay they do get. No arguments at all. However, the country simply does not have the money to pay them any more, not without either sacrificing something else or increasing taxes to pay for it. This is basic KS1 maths, if you can't afford it you can't have it. Let's not forget we also have a thumping great Brexit bill to pay for in the next couple of years which we'll need to fund from somewhere. This is as blatant an empty promise to win votes from people who are too stupid to realise it cannot be done as easily as that as I've ever seen in an election. And yet, the Tory response was just to say that only they can guarantee a strong NHS by having a strong economy: Whilst I don't disagree with this, it's hardly going to make anyone suddenly vote for them. Why they haven't got someone out there to simply ask the obvious "How will you pay for this?" question to Corbyn, I've no idea. Really poor PR.
  15. You mean we don't already have plans for a dragon invasion?!
  16. You'd see fewer losses from the drivetrain, which on a dyno would likely show up as an increase in power.

    Needs more pink around to get away with that I reckon. Pink hoses/couplings would do the job nicely.
  18. Oh I wouldn't actually change at this point, but the threat might be enough to get them working properly.
  19. Anyone catch Corbyn's speech yesterday regarding Brexit? He says that Labour will immediately guarantee the rights of the 3M Europeans living in the UK, wants to stay in the Single Market but also wants to change migration rules, and bizarrely replace the Great Repeal Bill with their own EU Rights And Protections Bill. On the guarantee of the EU nationals' rights I can see why he'd want that, although as said elsewhere it's bonkers to go into an important negotiation giving away a trump card so soon, but each to his own. I agree it'll happen both ways regardless. Staying in the Single Market means accepting free movement of people. End of. These two are mutually exclusive as Cameron found out to his loss when he tried to negotiate his way out of dealing with a Brexit vote. To claim otherwise is simply a lie. And as for dropping the GRB, which let's not forget actually enshrines in UK law all those EU rights on workers that Corbyn desperately wants to keep (and tbh it's not like the Tories have said they want to get rid of any parts of it yet anyway) and then replace it with something that, on the face of it, sounds identical except it'll cherry pick the bits they want rather than keep it all. Is he utterly bonkers? Does he realise just how complex all these laws are? It's impossible to devise a usable law protecting worker's rights within the two year timescales that encompasses everything without either causing massive disruption and change to existing businesses, or without missing great big important bits out. The government know this, which is exactly why they've already said they'll just absorb the whole lot now and then sort out the bits they want to dump later. That's of course the sensible option, so why would JC want to do otherwise? It's change for the sake of change, and shows that he has zero grasp of how running a country actually works. And all that said, all we've heard in the last week has been from JC, TF and NS. It's about time TM actually spoke up and let us know what her policies are, I'm a little disappointed she's giving the limelight over so easily. It won't do her any favours, unless she's trying to give them enough rope to hang themselves with. Which isn't really working yet and is a dangerous tactic IMHO.
  20. Not very, if you're the guy the rubbernecker hit
  21. Been a while since I fitted mine, but I'm 99% sure that ain't a Popcharger you've got there. - They didn't come with alloy intake pipe - They didn't come with that style of alloy welded MAF adaptor - They didn't come with red filters The heatshield is genuine, at least! Looking good mate. Not sure I like that front lip with that kit, rest of it looks ace though
  22. Depends how often, and what the reason was. If once a month, probably not. Once a week, probably. Continuously just because I was a certain colour and driving a nice car, definitely.
  23. Speak to your solicitor and tell them if they don't comply within the next couple of days, you'll be instructing new ones to carry out the work instead. Old fashioned rocket up the arse.
  24. For that money I wouldn't worry, I just take it straight to Apex Rotary and have them rebuild it on the spot. Worry-free driving for probably the life of the car, assuming mileage will be low because track car.
