Maserati Granturismo, Aston Vantage or ...... Decision P8
Ekona replied to Sam Mcgoo's topic in Other Cars
Sorry, but thats a ridiculous statement - even from the cars mentioned in this thread an M6, Maserati, 911 and a Mustang are all totally different experiences, even my current 4 seater is capable of performance very similar to a GTR but delivers it in a totally different way. You dont have to drive everywhere at 10/10ths either ......... which is where the GTR falls down for me, its doesnt feel special when doing 45 mph like a Maserati does. ^^^This, in bucketloads. Anyone who thinks that having driven a fast car makes other cars seem rubbish is talking bobbins. The F12 is about as fast a road car as you're likely to reasonably have a chance of driving, and I can promise you that in no way do I feel hard done by when I drive our 182 now. In fact, there's many times I'd rather take the 182 than either my 645 or my old 911, despite being nowhere near as fast. I know, that's not exactly what you were saying and I've exaggerated the point for effect so I apologise for that, but the point stands. The AMV8 just looks dated to me now. The Maser is still a head turner, and has a Ferrari V8. Given they're both fragile things, and neither are cutting edge in terms of dynamics, I couldn't look further than the Maser. -
Do you mean Sonos? As in the Play 1? Yes, it's very good, but really you want a couple of them to give you the stereo imaging, and at that point you're better off chucking another £100 at the solution and getting the new Play 5, which is a deeply impressive piece of kit at any price level. However, if you're happy with mono and that's where the budget is, then I wouldn't look any further. The wifi is pretty good on it too, so you shouldn't need to worry about range too much and the app itself is excellent.

There's no 'right' answer to this. The whole point of something like the KWv3s is that they give you the ability to tune the suspension how YOU want. What I would do is set your ride height as you want it but 5mm higher to account for settling, then stick all dampers in their middle positions. From there, you can then start adjusting the fronts as required, then move to the rears. As a general guide, you'll probably find you want the fronts approx 10% stiffer than the rears. Set compression first, then rebound.

Zeds aren't cheap, they're a bargain

Puffy kitty!

Does he actually do that? Can't say I've ever noticed. Then again, maybe he says it for a reason? But yeah, don't do grey.
-
*yawn* Grey is boring. Don't do it. Or I'll wee on your face.

No, your stuff is the gunk you put in the tank which I wouldn't bother with, but my stuff is what I mean when I refer to 10K Boost being amazing.

JEH, as in Jessica Ennis-Hill? She did win gold.
-
True, that would work, but then why would athletes bother training for competitions that they know they cannot enter? You'd kill athletics in Russia in one swoop. It's a horrible problem to have. I wouldn't like to be Seb right now, that's for sure.

Depends on the dealer. I've been very lucky and only ever had excellent relationships with main dealers, so I happily recommend Glyn Hopkin in Bishop's Stortford to people on here for Zed stuff as they were great with mine, and reasonably priced too. Same with Porsche, OPC Colchester were fantastic both in sales and servicing; and also Hills Toyota in Stortford for the MR2. I've yet to go near a BMW main dealer though, so can't comment on my local ones there. I think main dealer's are unfairly maligned for the most part: Sure, some are crap, but then so are some indys.
-
'Tis very good stuff, but it's not a petrol additive and I can't seem to get hold of it anywhere any more Run it through the intake and just make sure there's no-one standing behind the car, the crap that comes out of the exhausts is insane!
-
So how long should Russia be banned for then? A year? Two? Five? Ten? Needs to be a big one IMHO, but what's reasonable? How hard do you punish athletes who have done nothing wrong?
-
So your answer to my question is yes then, not no I said that we all prefer indys to main dealers, albeit for silly reasons. Also, indys do use apprentices too! Every one has got to start somewhere, and they're only cars. It's really not rocket science working on them once you have the basics.

MOAR UPDATES PLZKTHX

All it means is that she's been lucky, the engine was a particularly sturdy one, or th elife has been drastically shortened from 250k miles to much less. The DE cannot compensate for knock on 95 high up in the rev range, so it's a 100% guarantee that the engine has signs of damage. As for one lady owner, surely no-one stupid enough to fall for that as a sales line any more?
-
Lime green. Dare to be different, and it'll liven up your silver no end.
-
That's exactly the point I'm making, thanks Graham I wasn't saying that indys are using rubbish labour, my point was more the irony of car enthusiasts when it comes to things like this. We view main dealers as a risk, but we want those same people working at our indys. It's just odd, that's all.

TDC Off and Slip light, Car won't start? Need help!
Ekona replied to Davehasell's topic in 350Z General
Interesting, have you managed to fix it then? -
Just leave your car exactly as you would for the road, and make sure fluids are topped up. Literally, that's it. Oulton is a power circuit, like for like it'll be quicker than a 182. In the real world they'll walk all over you, Sod's law

Photobucket is the best way to do it Love to know what it was! -
Don't worry, it happens to everyone once in a blue moon Definitely the right call, I think it'll look so much better afterwards

Have you tried turning the braking force up? In 40mins, I'll be playing F4.
