Me? Sarcastic? Never. The very thought of it!

It's what your eyes get used to, but as a general rule I'd always say that a quality basic dial is easier to read than a fancy one: They just don't look as good! I did mean those Defis above, and yeah as long as there's a clear distinction between colours that's easy to read then that's just as good in my book. So you can go back to agreeing with me now I once ran the hellishly expensive Spa ones that had two digital readouts per dial: They looked fabulous, but were completely useless when you got moving as the eye can't read numbers as quickly as it can tell where a needle is pointing. Expensive mistake, that one.

This is also a case of "Do as I say, not as I do" here, as I have zero gauges in the MR2 despite it being a turbocharged monster!

I tend to agree, but you'll be able to see if it's making constant boost at the very least which can be just as helpful. That's the easiest one of the lot to run, too.

That's the second one of those someone has lost in the last few days.

Oil pressure, oil temp, and boost pressure are the ones you really want as gauges. You want them as simple and plain as possible: Defi ones look pretty, but are not particularly easy to glance over at and work out if there's anything wrong. The gauges shown in the R32 pic are perfect, as they're clean and clear. Plain background, plain font, big red needle. Things like AFR, EGT etc are nice to have, but really you just want them wired to a single red light that flashes if there is something wrong. In a perfect world of course, really no-one need bother.

Daft for road use, you massively restrict your vision at junctions. With any seat, try before you buy: They're definitely not all the same. DT is a great place to go for stuff like that, I did when choosing my seats.

Cost will depend on what needs adjusting, but lets assume everything. I would budget for £120, personally. Or £100 +VAT, if you prefer. Generic garages will probably be half that at least, but may not be able to give you the setup you want.

http://www.billgwynne.com/ I did a full experience day there in an Impreza. Utterly superb day, well run and managed, and with lots of seat time too.

This is why locking wheel nuts are generally a bad idea these days, unless you have £5k worth of wheel on. Even if you do, if someone really wants them...

That's incredibly short sighted. Letting people to go and join a terrorist organisation freely is only ever going to end in trouble for us. Even if they knew they couldn't return, they'd go anyway because they're loonies, that's the point of radicalisation.

It has everything to do with MI5. You don't really want mentals travelling abroad in the first place to learn how to be trained killers to pop back and slaughter a few Brits.

Understandable. Easier to blame everyone else rather than look at yourself.

Not the worst idea, tbh.

Let me guess, they're the cheapest? DPD FTW. You can track the couriers online, makes life so simple.

I enjoyed it so much, when I got stuck in the game and couldn't get any further, I googled the plot to see what happened and how it ended. If they could just fix the save system on the next one, I'd probably get a PS4 just for that.

Utter joke. I hope they fail miserably, and run out of cash after a couple of races.

Dude, if you consider Toblerone and Ferrero Rocher posh then we definitely hang round in different circles

Depends on condition.

I was only pootling round that bit at the time, as I'd boiled my brakes so was desperately trying to cool them down Glad I did though, as that meant he went past me at full bore and I had the roof down so could appreciate every last decibel from the exhaust.

ANOTHER ONE CONVERTED BWAHAHAHAHAAAA

There isn't a 350Z in the world that sounds better than a Ferrari or Lambo. Well, unless it has an engine swap: Some of the V8s are mega and pwn a CaliT, but other than that... Keith, if you truly do have the loudest Zed in the country, then that's far too loud for the road.
