  1. Pixplz Good to hear from you again matey
  2. Buy anything other than Japspeed. They're not known as Crapspeed for nothing.

    BMW Z4

    Couldn't agree more Did the same with my MR2, still remember the day I picked it up so well.
  4. You got it fella, remind me to do it when the engine is still warm as it takes ages to warm 10l of Mobil's finest up otherwise!
  5. Cheers It's an expensive indulgence, for sure, but I'm just too attached emotionally to it now. Sad git I am Out of curiosity, what camera and settings have you used for those pics? They're almost jarring on the eye to view, which is an effect I love, makes even the most boring stuff eye catching.
  6. And the rad caps Looks good matey, nice one.
  7. Blimey, do they still make those?! I had one of those back in the day, sadly not as good in the real world as you would hope, nice to have in the tool kit though. I've no idea where it is now.
  8. Sod it, I'm keeping it now. I had a massive hoon last night on deserted roads and it was simply incredible, and nothing I have ever owned comes as close to motoring perfection for me. As such, consider this car now officially off the market. Now, when my warranty expires in October I think I may treat myself to an x-pipe to delete the second silencer box...
  9. 'Be Original', exclaims the page title. Being original doesn't mean your car has to look like a piece of arse. Total mess in every way, and I hate to think of the money spent on that abortion.
  10. Why not wax the lights? I do. Shiny shiny
  11. I didn't say I was the first to mention that idea
  12. Just go to Honda and buy a new one. Sorted. Actually buy two, then you won't get stuck again when you lose one
  13. Well sorry I spoke! I'm well aware of the difference, and one is clearly better than the other, no? Look, you want something decent for peanuts, which just isn't going to happen: You want quality, then you damn well better be prepared to pay for it. If you want cheapy cheapy noisy noisy then there's plenty out there.
  14. Well, what do you want? A proper true duel setup to allow gasses to flow more freely from the engine, or do you want a new exhaust that sounds a better? One is more expensive than the other, but ultimately worth it.
  15. Wouldn't even waste my time using SRP, def try the other two as Ilogikal1 says above.
  16. The April one is actually even better!
  17. Light cutting agent and a DA will probably sort that out. If you don't have that, I'd try something like Megs Ultimate Compound and some elbow grease, the worse that can happen is that it does nothing and then you need to replace/wrap anyway.
  18. New video plays as well ARGH I've adblocked it again, I guess I'll just have to keep doing that everytime the video change. Thanks for trying any way Mike
  19. Bike helmets are no good for trackdays. Made for different type of impact, and don't conform to the standards that TDOs require. They may never check (I've never been), but it would be gutting to be turned away from track because of that.
  20. Buy the one that fits the best. Go somewhere like GPR or DT and try loads on across the budget spectrum, and buy the one that's the comfiest. I wanted to spend £1000 on something awesome, but the best one for my head was a £300 jobby. You can get the uber cheapy ones that are around £100 and they're fine, but only if they fit your head. Bell and Arai don't for me, but Sparco are very comfy. For the amount of days you're talking of using it, I'd be setting my budget higher rather than lower, but as always get the one that fits. Did I mention to buy the one that fits the best yet?
  21. Both. I tried the panel first, and then the MF, and then back to the panel as it didn't seem to make any difference. I did put it over wax (both the included one on the bonnet and some DJ Blue Velvet on the rest of the car), so maybe it's better straight onto paint? It says it shouldn't matter, but I wanted to put it over the wax to get the sealing quality of it.
  22. If you've washed correctly, and that really is the key part, then you can be as aggressive with the towel as you dare. Within reason, of course!
  23. I do believe we have a winner! Calpol it is, the purple stuff. OM NOM NOM Not too impressed with this month so far. The wax is nigh-on unusable due to the lack of oils and excess carnauba in it (yes, I have read the card before anyone picks that up), and it makes it an absolute nightmare to put on much less buff off. I have no doubt that if you persevered with it then you'd get a good finish, but there's other products I've used that give an excellent shine without making your arms feel like you've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson. The sealant stuff is also nonsense, and I found it almost identical to the DJ Red Mist, but even more hopeless at doing anything other than leaving your paintwork streaky. Again, nightmare stuff to use and if you use it last, it'll kill all your hard work. On the upside, the shampoo is excellent. Doesn't seem to foam up as much as other stuff I've used, but the foam you do get seems to stick around for a much longer time. Great product, and I think I'll be purchasing the full version when I next need shampoo. I'm glad in a way I've had a bad month, as now I've seen both sides of the Waxybox as an idea. Will I stick with it? Yes I will, as I still think it offers value for money and even if you get a duff set, at least you know what not to buy,
