Any chance of getting a copy of the club logo please?

The fluttering sound you hear is the impeller stalling. Back in the old days of ceramic blades it did used to be a huge issue, but with metal ones I personally don't see it being a problem at all, I agree.

Sorry, I was referring to the stalling.

How so? Not doubting you at all, genuinely curious as I've never encountered that

No, not all seats will fit. The very vast majority will though, so I wouldn't worry about that. However, I would be far more concerned about comfort than anything else: Not all seats are equally comfortable, and price has very little to do with this. The good thing is you're already considering this In terms of places to go, I'm afraid you're going to have to travel. The two best places are Demon Tweeks in Wrexham or GSM Performance in Nottingham. Both are great, DT has a slightly bigger selection but they're all fixed down, GSM not quite as many but have some rarer models on display and you can move them around in-store so you can compare side by side. Either one will be fine, you'll definitely find something there for you. It might be a bit of a trek, but considering that you spend 100% of your time whilst driving sitting down you soon realise that a six hour drive is nothing in the grand scheme of things

Only with ceramic turbine blades. Metal blades running sensible amounts of boost will be fine. I didn't run a BOV on the MR2 (by Toyota's own design) and it ran so much better than on my older car where I had one. Different noise on lift off, more like a demented squirrel than the usual noise, but still cool. No harm in removing your BOV and trying it, you may see throttle response differences though: Could be better or worse, in theory it should be worse but I've driven cars that were improved by removing the dump valve.

Don't worry, when you get home you can get hold of some decent stuff

That just looks like you fell asleep on your keyboard

Cunnilingus? What's that then? Sounds made up to me.

It's like the birth of the Phoenix

He's right though. If they were quick enough then they'd get the top seats and the advertising, especially since it's very PC to have a woman driver right now, but no-one is. Wolff was never going to be good enough for the top level, and let's not even get started on blondie at Renault. We should also consider the fact that world in general, but particularly motorsport, is also still male-dominated in mindset. At the lower levels yes, girls are definitely as good as boys, but the physicality required for race cars mean they'll never be on an equal footing. In terms of technique sure they might well be as good as a man, but you need the whole package. It's no different to tennis in that regard, you'd never expect a woman player to beat a man at the top levels of the game, regardless of the skill she may possess. Will it ever change? Not in my lifetime.

Have you rung them?

You'll only lose 3 years most likely, so not all bad.

I agree, I'd use cheapy steel mounts, anything will do. If they have to slide then you'll obviously be a bit higher up, but I'd be looking at fabbing a couple of bits of steel to the floor pan and mounting from that.

That's not necessarily a good thing, that means that her car absorbed more energy than yours so is likely to have more damage. Tbh, £3k is not entirely unreasonable for a insurance job. Which insurer are you with?

Another good reason to take pics at the scene

Not if it was damaged by the accident, which isn't impossible. Doesn't matter now though really, it's all in their hands. Let them sort it out, that's what they're paid for

I liked the decals Worth every penny you're asking for it. Still my favourite Zed of all time on here.

Fragile? In what sense?

I got confused, it was you that had the Ford Maybe it rained and water ingress after the bodywork damage?

That's about right for OEM stuff. She's probably gone to a Ford dealer for the quote, I would.

Just so we're clear, staying in your lane isn't undertaking.

Which mounts is it you're using Phil?

Not a great surprise. Time to call the insurance.

It's the Internet, it's always a spelling test!
