  1. The car physics seem to be twitcher, but I suspect that's just where I've not played it in a year.
  2. That's what I was thinking, or even maybe someone local could grab them and deliver for beer money, or just meet you half way?
  3. DPD. They are the best courier out there by some margin, but I suspect they're not cheap. Where in Oxfordshire to where in Cambridgeshire?
  4. Yeah, £114 is taking the urine a bit, especially on a new car!
  5. Nah, I'd be absolutely astounded if that caused the issue at all. I mean, in theory the cats might not have warmed up and you could have made the engine run a bit rich at one point by accelerating too much too soon, but it's a very unlikely set of conditions and I've personally never heard of that happening on an NA car. Given they're smaller cats and heat up quicker than OEM, I'm even more prone to discard that idea. I'd leave them in and just fit the spacers, if you have further problems after that then possibly look at removing them but I don't see that happening. Last thing we want to do is make your 370ZN even quieter again!
  6. Delete code and see if it returns. It's not something to worry about at all, and will do zero harm to carry on driving with that code. However, that would then hide the presence of another code if you get a more serious problem, so not great for long term. i would check your HFCs, as they might be breaking down causing this code. Highly unlikely, but worth a check. Either way, a couple of spacers for £30 would get this problem done and dusted
  7. My thoughts: Option 1: One benefit you haven't mentioned is that this would enable you to charge your phone at the same time, ensuring you're never left without power. Now, granted that means you getting your phone out of your pocket to do so, but using it as a navigation device. If you have it mounted at the correct level, then you wouldn't need spoken directions (indeed, I find them irritating so always turn them off!). Data streaming maps would be a no-go, however you'd simply buy TomTom for iOS and use that instead for £35. I have the UK, Europe and US versions, and they're all superb. Pop a new head unit in and you've got your streaming as well, as you say. This has the added benefit that you always have your satnav with you, regardless of vehicle. Option 2: I don't see a massive benefit here over the above option. Sure, it will be a bigger screen, but it will also be further away than the iPhone so maybe negligible difference? That's where I had mine mounted when I had a Zed, and although it worked well it's not something I would use these days as satnav on phones is a much more realistic and usable proposition. Option 3: I personally wouldn't touch App Radio with a bargepole until a couple of generations down the line.
  8. Indeed: With the days on the NIMBYs well and truly ahead of us, it's vital that we all make a hugely concerted effort to reduce all our exhaust noises when on track as much as possible. No point having a nice sounding car when a helmet drowns out the noise anyway, and no point chasing every last bhp when it's not a race Always sucks to see someone get booted from a track, but I would suggest that your setup is louder than you think if it breached the limits: I ran there with a K1 with bungs in and had no issues, and even with the bungs it's not particularly quiet...! 95dB is really quite loud fella, you should be looking to reduce that significantly. I'd be looking to replace the backbox with an OEM one for track use, as that would be the easiest thing to swap out on a driveway.
  9. On the MPS3 it's not noticeable, so I maintain it's irrelevant Which tyres were those then? For the most part, it's quite difficult to tell the difference between regular and XL, so bravo on being able to do so, most folks can't!
  10. He's a bit like watching wrestling. You know it's fake, but it's still entertaining.
  11. So did you have them all running on low then? What gfx card you running again? AMD cards are significantly worse off with ACU.
  12. XL = Extra Load, irrelevant if it does or doesn't have this for the Zed MO = Merc specific AO = Audi specific You can fit MO, AO, or any other specific tyres to any vehicle, but you'll pay a premium. With those, just buy the cheapest ones.
  13. Aiming for 60fps won't be the issue, it'll be the graphics settings. There's loads in there: Environment/Shadow/Texture quality, occlusion, AA, bloom etc. Try turning those down, even on the lowest settings it should still look pretty.
  14. How bad? What settings are you using? What FPS are you getting? I thought FPS didn't matter Just wondering how far below 30 you were dropping, and on what settings. It doesn't seem very scaleable on the PC at all.
  15. How bad? What settings are you using? What FPS are you getting?
  16. Interesting, I cannot see any mention of that now either. It's not impossible that they've changed things recently, but that certainly used to be the case. Give it a go then matey, nothing to lose really
  17. That's different: You gave them a registration number to assign to it. I think AK350Z is trying to remove the original dated plate from the car (so AB55 CED), which the DVLA will no longer let you do.
  18. Wait, so you want to transfer off the original plate and keep that? You can't do that, I'm afraid.
  19. Yup, it's done automatically. You'll just get back the original plate 99/100.
