  1. Why? Surely you'd at least ask for a quote before writing them off.
  2. I'm not sure who's more mad, the current or first owner
  3. Erm, if you've never revved the car to the rev limiter then you really need to be doing that: Sitting at low rpms isn't a good thing for modern engines at all. They're designed to be used properly, so don't be afraid to bang the limiter every now and then.
  4. Look under the bonnet, if you have two air intakes then it's an HR. Looking at the bonnet hump that's very likely, but not impossible to swap. Also, if your car revs to 7500 it's definitely an HR.
  5. Indeed, if it's a HR don't worry about it.
  6. Absolutely impossible to say, as Rich says some engines differ the second they come out of the factory! Not to mention how different dynos on different days will give different readings.
  7. I don't know how Android phones work, but can you not just erase it and restore from a back up?
  8. In fairness, the ZZRs are aimed primarily at lighter cars, like Caterhams etc. It's a miracle they bother to make any 18"s at all!
  9. As in the PIN isn't accepted? Or the screen isn't responding?
  10. Usage I'm less concerned about, 2L and not even to the max mark on the dipstick shows the engine has been run far too low on oil. Now you're showing high oil usage, so I'd certainly be looking at getting a leakdown test done. Please tell me you told the dealer the oil was too low as soon as you discovered it after picking it up?
  11. If those levels are true, then your engine is pretty much goosed I'm afraid. You're going to need to drop the oil to find out exactly how much is in there really.

    Those designed-in crackles sound awful and cheap Looks much sharper though than the current one, beautiful colour too.
  13. Not feeling the blue stripes, looks very Ripspeed.
  14. All the cool kids run JR wheels
  15. Out of those, I'd pick the JR11 as well.

    Wrap the url in tags mate
  17. Jeez, I can't imagine what it's like just concentrating on your back for a workout. Mine was a bit squiffy after a herniated disc op a few years back so I try to avoid straining it if possible. How often are you hitting the gym these days?
  18. They're just a broker, be interesting to see who your actual policy is with when it comes through.
  19. Week 2 gone, 5lb down this week. Not squeezing into my work jeans quite as much now 6 weeks to go!

    New tyres time.

    Assuming RE050As (as per OEM) and 453s, then I'd say there's something seriously wrong there. No way in hell the 453 have better wet grip than the 050As.
