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.

Lol, sorry mate but that's quite funny

Stop making it look daft then, and I'll stop mentioning it There's being unique (I get that, as I've always gone for the non-obvious choice in cars in the past: VX vs Elise, MR2 vs MX5, convertible 350 vs coupe 350) and then there's just being stubborn and bodging things. Now, if you'd done the bodywork mods first with the principle that you'll get the wheels ASAP then I'd actually understand that, as although it would still look a bit silly with wheels that far under the arches it would've been what I would class as 'the right way round'. Being independent doesn't always mean you have to ignore common sense. But you're only a kid, so I guess you'll learn that in time. Anyways, you're probably right, there's no need to me to pass comment so often so I apologise for that. I wasn't being personal about it, I just struggle to see the logic in your approach is all. So what body mods are you going to do to accommodate those wheels? Will rolling alone do it, or are you going for some bolt-on extensions or a whole new wide-arch kit? The latter would look good, I think.

Which is fine, that's your choice. Personally I would spend more and get the correct ones, but whatever.

i disagree Senario 1 : i want this design/brand of wheel Senario 2 : i want 400bhp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fix 1: bolt something that wasn't designed to be there from factory Fix 2: bolt something that wasn't designed to be there from factory Nope. Scenario 1: i want this design/brand of wheel Scenario 2: I want 400bhp Fix 1: Buy wheels with the correct offset to fit. Fix 1.5: Buy wheels with dodgy offset and have to correct in other ways Fix 2: Buy Zed-specific turbo kit Fix 2.5: Buy non Zed-specific kit and have to correct in other ways

@Grundy: And when MCook's car looks like that, it'll be fine. Until then, it looks daft.

Not essential, but a majority of the time folks have to cut their old ones off to be able to fit the new ARBs,so I figure you might as well just budget for them in the first place. Sounds like you got lucky with yours
