Arse, that probably does scupper it then. Which insurer?

Have you asked your current insurer what their letter of NCB Proof says, exactly? You might find that it doesn't mention the 10 mth thing, in which case it may not matter. For example, I had an at-fault accident in 2013 but I've still got 10+ years of NCB, as stated on my letter. I don't know of any insurer that asks whether the NCB is 10mth or 12mth. If they don't ask, and it doesn't state on the letter, I don't think you'll have a problem.

Original clutch?! That's seriously impressive. I'd get the chain done sooner rather than later though, but even so that's really good going. Well done sir!

There aren't too many issues with the engine that bother me (a lot of the bits you'd do before putting it in, like the VANOS bits etc), it was mainly the SMG 'box in the original applications that had the most issues, hence me wanting to move to a manual one. That said, I would definitely go in eyes open and have a nice slush fund for the stuff that could go wrong!

Pfft, rubbish excuse Says the man being too lazy to go look it up himself

Don't suppose you have a link at all matey?

They did, but again it's the double standards on being able to offend an entire religion based on free speech, but not the individual. How does that work? Actually, I don't think outrage and attention were their aims: Sounds more like to me this was a planned attack on specific people. Once that was done, they scarpered.

Is it though? Sometimes yes, but not always. Sometimes it's there just to sell.

If I can get the extension to my garage done, then I could still consider this a goer. However, it would mean getting rid of the MR2 to make space, and I'm not really sure if I'm ready to do that just yet. Really, I need to find a Zed and take some measurements before I do anything else.

Nissan designed the perfect sports coupe for the mass market. They didn't design the perfect sports coupe for me.

On a slight tangent, but related to yesterday's attacks: How come we are so full of backing to media like Charlie Hebdo, where everyone without question is backing their right to freedom of the press despite the fact they knew it would upset Muslims, and yet the interweb buzzword of the last year is troll? What exactly is the difference between a magazine setting out specifically to do something they KNOW will insult people, and random chav tweeting minor celeb that he thinks shes a dumb slut? To me, this is exactly the kind of hypocrisy that these terrorists are sick and tired of. Now, I'm of the opinion of sticks and stones, but even I can see that we cannot preach freedom on one hand but strike it down with the other. I'm not saying that the attacks were right, rather than everyone should be a little more tolerant of mocking.

Will's absolutely right, it'll be here soon enough in the form of guns, not just just two nutters with a couple of knives. What bothers me most isn't the actual attacks, it's the fact that family and friends of these people must at least suspect them of being radicals but close ranks and say nothing.

Where the potholes as obvious then as they are in those pics?

And where do you live again? Y'know, just out of interest...

Horrible stuff. Goes p*ss thin when warm, gives about as much lubrication as a crusty old sock. So yeah, not keen.

Mixing oils for a top up isn't as bad as running low on oil, I wouldn't worry too much as long as it's a decent quality one i.e. not Magnatec. 5w-30, 5w-40, 0w-30, 0w-40, 10w-40, anything around there will be fine.

Now stop calling me Adam

As much as I hate to defend Stevo's position... Knock yourself out, there's plenty out there

Missed this earlier, but don't straddle those bumps: You're doing all sorts of damage to the suspension and your alignment, even if you 'barely clip it'. Think about it: Suspension is designed to go up and down, up and down, all day long. It's quite happy doing that. It's not meant to have any play pushing outwards, and that's how you get increased wear and tear, along with knocking your alignment out. Just drive over the bump with one side of the car, then alternate if there's room or if you feel like it. I never even thought about it until I spoke with Chris Franklin at Center Gravity, who schooled me on the error of my ways. He seriously knows his stuff, and charges enough for his knowledge too! Sucks about the body kit, I take it that it's a mile out?

Not just you. Like a bean can. I'm all for loud exhausts, but that sounds extreme and with no tone to it.

Perhaps, but I'm sure you did some measurements first to work out how far they'd stick out?

:lol: How can anyone find that anything other than hilarious?!

Which makes it funnier :lol: Admittedly as someone earlier said, if the victim is a baby or a very pregnant lady or a very old person then I don't think that would be funny in the slightest. Every one else is fair game.
