  1. Just be careful chaps, these products 99 times out of 100 will cause massive swirlmarks on your paint that won't show up until next time you clean it. Not saying that it's not worth a try, but I'd only use it if your paintwork is shot anyway or at least try it on just the one area that could be repaired fairly easily (bonnet, for example).
  2. Two out of three for me, and in the right places
  3. I consider that to be the case with all insurance companies.
  4. Perhaps, but when teams ran at the 2psi extra the tyres were delaminating in the middle, just as you'd expect from an overinflated tyre. I believe that Pirelli have designed the current batch around the fact that most teams run them low anyway.
  5. What annoyed me most about the race was the last 8 laps. Best bit of racing we've seen all year, and purely down to the fact that most drivers didn't have to worry about their tyres! Just get rid of these silly things, run two compounds by all means but make either one capable of lasting 2/3 of a race.

    Wheels and Tyres

    If you run 225 all round, you're going to massively increase oversteer potential on the car, which is not something I'd recommend doing at all. As above, keep the stagger on those tyres and you'll be fine on those wheels.
  7. Got a box ticked wrong in the reply page?
  8. Utter farce. If I was Pirelli, I'd be pulling out of the sport ASAP to prevent further damage to the brand. Okay, so us enthusiasts know P Zeroes are crap, but the general public don't and may buy them on the strength of F1. Not any more.
  9. Not sure if you know this, but you can't just do that. If there is anything wrong, you have to give the supplying dealer a fair chance to fix it before you can even think about rejection. The SOGA does give you an incredible amount of protection, but you do have to go the right way about it. Get the code read ASAP, you can do the pedal dance to get it (there's a sticky on here on how to do that), and then one of us will hopefully be able to put your mind at ease.
  10. People expressing opinions on an internet forum? My lord, what is the world coming to!
  11. Looks like it has car AIDS.
  12. As above. Your current wheels look really good, and I don't really like aftermarket rims. Those others look cheap in comparison.

    Trial fit

    Are you replacing the caps too?
  14. Vettel Webber Alonso Hamilton and Rosberg will struggle for tyres as usual and end up well off the pace. Alcocko will do his usual banzai start then work his way up.
  15. Heh, you would hope so! When you use the spray, it will feel like the engine is going to stall but just give it a bit more throttle to keep the revs about 2k and it'll be fine. Oh, and make sure there's no-one behind the car wearing anything white...
  16. Where can I get 10K Boost from .? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item519cad4bb1 Thanks. Anybody tried this as well.. ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10K-BOOST-POWER-EMISSIONS-RESTORER-DE-COKER-FOR-PETROL-ENGINES-/300754349996?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item46065b2fac That's the stuff I meant, I didn't realise they did a liquid in-tank solution too. Also didn't realise the spray was £20 now! Definitely the spray, it's fantastic stuff.
  17. Also worth running a can of 10K Boost through the system, it's only about a tenner and you'd be amazed at the crap it will clean out
  18. Still isn't right though [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UotNe4FbkcQ[/media] Et voila
  19. I was only half kidding As a basic test, they'll do quite well.
  20. I got the yellow dot too
  21. I'm perfectly calm, but thanks for enquiring.
  22. 'Tis a good point. I've no idea why M and AMG keep their credibility but Nismo and VXR lose theirs. If anything, M and AMG are worse for it!
  23. Not regulars, because they know better. You and I both know there's been many posts on here over the years of people who have had issues with the TCS because they ran odd profile tyres, either on 18 or 19 inch wheels. Sadly I don't keep a list of their names to hand, so apologies for that.
  24. Not if you're running R888s
  25. That's not what you said though, is it? You added a statement that gave no extra value to the conversation whatsoever. There's enough on here about mixed tyres for people to make up their own mind. It's not even me that brings it up any more, notice that? Mixed tyres won't kill you, they just make for a more unstable car. How you feel about running a performance car like that is up to the individual.
