  1. I have no idea what any of you are talking about Anyone care to elaborate?
  2. Divorce. It's the only way to be sure. Aside from nuking from orbit, of course.
  3. Change it all as a first point, can't hurt and is the quick and easy option.
  4. Ah well, at least I know where they're from now, thanks chaps They're not powder coated, I sprayed and lacquered them myself. They came out really good in the end, just not for the right car
  5. As per the title, is it? I've got a bunch of these and I sprayed them all up nicely to match the MR2 wheels, and then I discovered they're not MR2 nuts If they're not Zed ones, I've no idea what they're from!
  6. Ironically if RB had complied and used the dodgy fuel sensor and been able to run more fuel and more power, they'd have been okay. That's what makes a mockery of the decision.
  7. Pretty much, yes. Same as with the 911 Turbo/S, you get two power figures and you always need to go on the lower one as the higher one is only ever available briefly. Until they launch a special edition and you can have it all the time

    Huracan

    The Huracan doesn't need to worry about the 458: It needs to worry about the new R8 and the 458 replacement due soon.
  9. I always wave, and sometimes get one back. Not often though, but then it has been four years since I owned a Zed
  10. You're all kind of right, more or less. Basically the car will have electronic boost control, so the waste gate will be set to open at say 1 bar under normal conditions. If certain conditions are met (sport mode on, engine oil at right temp, certain throttle threshold reached etc) then the controller will hold the waste gate closed until 1.2 bar, hence the term overboost.
  11. Lol, that letter is brilliant!
  12. Tough. They knew what they were getting from the very start, but they wanted to press ahead with fuel saving and other crap instead of letting race cars actually race.
  13. Get that in writing. It's not about what rules are in place, it's also about common sense. I don't drive the 911 around when at work, it's just not the right image.
  14. Don't feel too bad mate, you might not have done anything even with run off: Mate of mine who I sold the VXR220 almost came a-cropper at Anglesey, when he tried to take Turn 1 and the car kept going straight over the grass. Only the fact the track was clear the other side meant he had time to find grip and stop. I also know of one guy who managed to drive into a marshall's post at the same track...! It happens to the best of us, don't sweat it. Even if you were in a 500kg Caterham, you wouldn't have stopped it. Like you say, once you're on the green stuff you ain't stopping for anything.
  15. This man has taste, that's a pretty good list. Any reason why just normal GTB not GTO on the 599? Personally I'd have: Zonda F Roadster 2.7 RS replica 2-11 F12b Carrera GT Clio 200 Cup (yes, really!) Cayenne Turbo S That would do me. Covers everything from the snotter to use around town to the grand tourer to the classic that you can actually use to the trackday toy.
  16. Oil and battery I wouldn't worry about. Clutch pedal could be damage to the slave/master via shock from the crash, but again I'm not convinced I'd do anything to investigate if everything else seems okay. What I would do is be very concerned about the chassis being straight, but that's something you'll only find out after you've got everything fixed and tried to do an alignment. If you feel like it, it might be a good idea to post up exactly what you have to replace and the costs involved to give others an idea of repair costs should they find themselves in a similar place, or at least they could help determine whether someone felt like taking up trackday insurance for their own trip. Massive commiserations btw, and I genuinely mean that: Tbh, there but for the grace of God go I. I've been lucky so far, but luck doesn't last forever. Just glad you're okay mate, that's the main thing.
  17. None of which exactly give out the right image. You rock up to a meeting with a client in one of those and they're not going to be massively impressed, sadly. Alfa Brera is a good shout though, if not the last word in driving dynamics.
  18. E46 M3. It's first on your list for a reason 335d/i would be worth considering as well.
  19. I lost my phone the other day. Turns out I'd left it in airplane mode.
  20. I wouldn't be giving them a penny of my money if that's how they treat customers. Imagine what they'll be like when they've got your money...
  21. I just read a whole two posts up and got it straight away
  22. NA petrol is unlikely to see any worthwhile gains. LPG conversions are great if you're not the person paying for the original install, else it takes years to get your money back.

    Fuel type

    DEATH TO ENGINE Loads on this here already, but basically don't use 95 in a DE Zed. You'd never know if someone had unless you start taking the engine apart.
  24. Should've been ready for it then Happened to me on other cars too. Irritating, but not uncommon.
