Just to clarify, every single auto ’box (and dual clutches) does this. If it didn’t, then it would make the car undriveable as it would snatch at every high rpm downshift. Nissan, BMW, VAG, Vauxhall, all the same.

Lol nope, have I missed something obvious then?!

You don’t need rev match on an automatic. It’s a torque converter, not a manual gearbox with regular clutches. Pull paddle, it’ll either let you change gear and match the revs to do so or it won’t let you change gear at all.

Something for the missus

I find the Eagle F1s to be great in the dry but sketchy as hell in the wet, and that was on a 4WD car too. I binned off a perfectly decent set of them to move back to RE070, which are bizarrely more consistent in the wet than the EF1s. But the answer is MPS4. Head and shoulders above everything right now, barring MPS4S but you can’t get those in 18”s. Massively worth the extra cash, but don’t bother with nitrogen filling unless it’s free.

I don’t know what you mean.

EBay would be my first port of call. Probably ten to a penny on there.

It's not to my taste, but personally I think you've done a cracking job there and that's a truly excellent guide for others to follow. Good job sir The only complaint I could make is that they do not fit very well at all at the bottom of the light cluster where arch, light and bumper all meet, as you can still see a massive amount of original arch there. That kinda ruins the effect, especially on the nearside where the stripes go right through it. Did you ever consider modifying that part to go right up to the join?

...and yet when people post up horrifically modified Zeds on here we all preach acceptance and individuality

Simplest answer is often the right one

Get a bunch of Mexicans to build a new wall?

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Amazon prime a dremel then, and pop to Travis etc to get some cement to fill it with. Or you could just use some resin tbh, they’re small enough.

Dremel down, fill the hole so you can’t see it. Job’s a carrot.

And you realise that’s the EXACT same info as the Autocar article? It’s like they just waited a few months, then copy + pasted it into their own format. So really, it’s not even remotely close to confirming anything.

I’ll believe it when I see it. 400bhp seems a massive power jump, unless it’s a much bigger and heavier car and needs the extra oomph... And 4WD in the Nismo version? Absolutely no chance

Any person still using the word Yo, and brave enough to open a thread with it as the title, is alright by me

FWIW I was always a bit unsure about the effectiveness of the TBM, until I cheaped out one day and used just the one bucket on my old car immediately prior to sale as someone was coming to look at it unannounced. The wrap went from still flawless to noticeable swirls in one sitting: I was gutted, and although no one normal would probably notice the difference, once you’re into making your car look good it stuck out like a sore thumb. Always, always, always TBM. It really does make a huge difference! Although I get that your back is stuffed and it’s awkward to do, if you can you’ll notice the difference. If you really can’t, then you need to be looking at getting a proper coating on there imho as at least that’ll be a bit harder to mark up, plus washing time is MASSIVELY reduced so the TBM takes a fraction of the time (like half, in my experience).

Stupid fusking rule. As always, the ACO trying their best to fix the racing. Still wish I was there though, not the same watching it at home

How are you converting to centrelock on the hub?

http://www.envycarcare.co.uk/shop/finishing/speed-gloss/ That’s all you need. Foam the car, wash the car, then whilst it’s still wet spray this stuff on using your foam lance. Leave for 5-10mins, then rinse off and walk away. No need to even touch the damn car, and it lasts for aaaaages too. Chuck it on the whole car, including wheels. One of the best products I’ve ever used both in terms of finish and I-can’t-be-arsed-today-ness

Move to MPS4, much better and more available.

You say it shouldn’t be the wheel balancing, have you had it checked?

Pfft peanuts Also we do it posh, you could well do it for much less, I just wouldn’t want to Although I’m not a plumber any more so can’t afford to go this year, not that I want to until they sort the mess that is LMP1 out.

Indeed, just ask your insurer. However, the answer is that no, the clock does not reset. Now fess up and tell us what speed you were doing!
