    I also wipe my arse with gold leaf
  2. Dropping a profile may mean you have TCS issues. Running the same size all round means you're going to get some intense oversteer, which means the back end is likely to want to overtake the front very easily, not something I'd recommend

    Put it this way, if you have the MPSS on you'll be about 5% quicker than if you put the Falkens on. Work out how much it would cost you put 5% more power in the car (call it 15bhp) and see if you think the extra couple of hundred quid is worth it then. Never mind they'll last you longer as well as stop you quicker and make the car more fun too...

    It wasn't one of the Recaros! Actually, I didn't look at that page fully, it looks like they've stopped going the one I bought now. It was under £100, I think.
  5. You don't have a cistern in the loft? In that case you must have a combi boiler doing your heating, and a direct cylinder running on the immersion heater? The bigger, the better. 50-70 gallons minimum, but if you leave it running for a while then you can drain that quickly. I reckon at least 140 gallons (2x70) one for hot and one for cold.
  6. Mine's here too, seriously impressed with this, definitely worth the money. If we can sort out making this £10 +p&p every month, I'm in for a year at least I reckon.

    I bought one of these. Cheap, poor stitching and quality of leather, great colours, seat is very comfy. For a cheapy office chair it's fine, no way would I put it anywhere posh or near a car though. Put it this way, I haven't bought a matching one for my office at home yet.
  8. Why would they? They only have to supply you with a certain pressure (IIRC it's 1 bar), anything else over that is a bonus. My guess is that they have a lot of leaks, and by turning down the pressure they're saving their own costs.
  9. Has it been reported? Have you reported it? That's the only way to make any headway towards compensation, although since you haven't suffered a loss I doubt you'll get very far.
  10. I played both BF3 and COD6. They're basically the same, I couldn't tell you which I preferred as they were much of a muchness. Same guns, same angry blokes shouting, same level styles. Just very similar. Only so much you can do with guns and modern day combat, I guess.

    Is this GPR? If you go, try and get some pics of the interior if you can, I've always wondered how it compares in size to DT and whether it would be worth me going there for a race suit and lid rather than Wrexham.
  12. You have got to be kidding me. *facepalm*

    Saturdays? Seriously, you're going to have to try some of these out before committing, I wouldn't dream of recommending a seat without it being tested first. Granted, I took a punt on the Sparco Sprint V but at the price I was paying for it and the usage of it in a track slag, I could take a gamble. If you're spending a good few hundred on something quality for the Zed, I'd definitely try before you buy Might be worth popping to a local trackday near you if you get a chance and see what people are running there, bound to be at least a couple of different options.
  14. What you're after is a holding tank and then you use a booster pump on that. Works in exactly the same principle as a power shower: Get as big a storage tank as you can in the loft, add a pump, then alter pipework to suit. The trouble you're going to have is that you need to keep it potable, which is invariably a tricky thing to do at the best of times. Tbh it's not something I've ever done at a domestic level, only at a commercial one, so what would be a reasonable solution for you I don't know. As for part 2, see above. Exactly the same principle, except that this time you've got a cylinder between the pump and the outlet.
  15. She left when she was 7 years old, so I'm guessing that wasn't her own choice. She then grew up in a different country and by the time she turned 18 she'd have called it home and been very used to it. She'd probably have stayed there all her life if circumstances hadn't dictated otherwise. She had absolutely nothing left, so why would she stay there when she could back here? At least she spent 7 years of her life here, rather than someone who has spent nothing at all.
  16. Yes. Half a brain cell to match the other half you've got.

    And you think the P Zeros that would get put on any normal car are the same variant as on the Zonda? Porsche put them on 911s for a bit, and they were still awful then.

    So? That's nothing for a good day out. Get over there first thing, sort your seats out, then head into Wales for some nice roads before heading home.

    Scary thing is it'll probably sell to old farts who don't know any better

    Bucket seats

    I bought my office chair bucket seat from them. Unless it's one of the proper seats i.e. Recaro, I wouldn't buy any of their knock offs. Just saying.

    No, they're not, they're shite. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what a decent tyre is supposed to feel like, sorry.

    Bucket seats

    Right, start from scratch. Not all buckets are the same, and if you're a bit chunky then you're going to struggle to fit into a lot of them. I don't mean superfat, just even a little podge can rule you out of the smaller ones: My Sparco Sprint V in the MX-5 is snug enough that when I had all my weight on I'd never have fit into it, and even at 5' 10" and 12st it's very snug. You need to have a good measure up, and even better you need to go and sit in a few. Demon Tweeks have plenty on display you can try out, so I'd suggest a road trip down there for the day as even if it costs you £50 in fuel it couls save you £1000 in buying the wrong seats. If you're anywhere near me you're welcome to try mine out for size. Failing that, go and get them to send you one of their red Motorsport catalogues, they've got them all in there and with all the dimensions you could ever need. You can do the same on the website, but it's far more awkward.

    Oh I dunno, P Zeros are spectacularly rubbish... However, I do doubt that these Evergreen tyres are anything other than shite. Just look at the tread patterns, they're meant for shopping trolley sheds not sports cars.
  24. Good, that Zed owner deserved it. *****.
