  1. M3 exhaust tips are the same size, not staggered. 997.1 PSE cars, on the other hand, look like this: ...which happens to look ridiculous. Please don't do this! Also, the 458 barely manages to get away with the triple exhaust thing because it's so awesome otherwise. On a 350, that is going to be chav central and then some, I don't need a 'shop to know that.
  2. Easy to check if you have a claim, they'll just ask for the last MOT cert.

    Help please..

    You might get more help on your posts if you made the thread title more obvious, rather than just a generic help. Lots of people will skip past the latter, but will click a link if it's more detailed
  4. Stock is understeer city. I'd go with as much front camber as you can get, a couple of degrees on the rear camber, zero toe on the back and 3-5 deg of toe out on the front. Pointy but slidey, should feel lovely
  5. That's as good as any
  6. Are the Torqen brakes not just rebranded ARTs? Not that that's a bad thing, mind, I'm just not convinced there's a need for them from a performance POV on a non-tracked Zed. I'm the first person to say do the brakes first, but a solid Brembo setup with good pads, discs and fluid will be more than enough, which you've already done Kaveny
  7. It really, really won't. You can't even hear it inside the car, or at least I couldn't on mine.
  8. Come one, come all, post up and don't be shy! Who's off to LM this year for the race then, in a couple of weeks? I'll be there, going out via Tunnel on Weds and coming back on the Mon, staying in Blue Nord in the PH/1st Tickets section. I've nearly finished stickering the car up, I'll post a picture later.
  9. I'm going to start a new thread, we have too many fragmented here. Gimme a min.
  10. BBK is massive overkill. Unless you're having issues already where you're locking the brakes constantly or have issues with heat, then you don't need bigger brakes. You're also adding unsprung mass, which will affect handling to a small degree. Clutch and fly will make massive differences to your drive however, as you'll have an engine that revs more freely so will lose less power from the drivetrain. That plus the headers will give you a net gain of around 10bhp at a guess, but in terms of feeling it will feel a lot quicker. The rattle is nothing, it's only there when idling anyway and how often do you sit there at idle thinking how nice your car sounds? Mine was as bad a one as I've ever heard, and even then it was just an acknowledgement of how awesome I was for fitting something that cool.
  11. Well yeah, but it came across like it was front and back of a single design. It was only when I looked properly I realised it wasn't.
  12. Why is there two different 'shops in the original picture? Wheels on the second one look awful!
  13. Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
  14. Notice how Verstappen was still holding the steering wheel when he crashed: He'll only do that once, he could've broken his wrists quite easily. Lewis handled the whole thing very well, I thought. In public, anyway
  15. I wouldn't pay it either, certainly not on an 81K Nissan, but if you want FDSH then there's a price to be paid for that. What was the break down on it? That's where it gets really fun to see.
  16. Main dealer in expensive servicing shock. They have to pay for the nice uniforms and the posh showroom and the official name somehow. You can haggle them down though, so don't be put off by the first price.
  17. Chances are you might not need planning permission, (or building reg approval if under 30 square metres) This link might help: http://www.planningp...dings/miniguide The only issue I may have is that the house has already been extended once, so I need to be careful not to take it out too much further. Or do what everyone else does, and just make friends with the planning officer!
  18. Is that good? I have no idea who that is!
  19. Who is ever going to check? Not sure I'd even worry about it. Worst case scenario you fill it in before you sell, someone else's problem then
  20. Someone feed the hamster, quick!
  21. When even BMW go FWD, you know that the future of cheap RWD cars is in peril. I suspect the reason we haven't seen power versions of the Toyobaru is that the regular versions aren't selling enough to justify the niche market they'd enter at the price they will have to be. Be afraid for the 370 successor, be very afraid. Unless you really want 4WD and upwards of £40K, I guess.
  22. She's an absolute bundle of energy, pounces after everything until she exhausts herself then just collapses asleep
