On the whole Ferrari/Shell thing, it'll be down to how much money Shell were prepared to pay Ferrari to have their name associated. nothing more. Ferrari would've put the fuel in their cars, made sure they didn't blow up, and then sat back and watched the millions roll in. It's exactly the same as Porsche do with Mobil and their oil at the moment: As long as it's not going to do any harm, then for the amount of money involved they'll quite happily endorse it. Rich is absolutely spot-on here.

:lol:

Possibly the creepiest post I've ever read. On the Internet. Ever.

If other outlets weren't so extortionate I wouldn't! But if they annoy you so much, and never have the product you need, then surely shopping elsewhere would be the best choice? No? You've only had to drive somewhere else costing you more money in fuel, so you might as well drive there in the first place

Hand on heart, I've never visited NFL.com.

Don't go there then?

I've argued for a while that if you're smart and don't click on silly links or visit dodgy websites, then you don't need AV software at all, just a firewall. That's another debate altogether though.

Ah, just re-read your post again, I see what you mean now. Can you take some pics for us? Take a sample out of the expansion bottle and the rad too as well if possible to see the colours side by side.

-50 Man Points for admitting to watching it!

I don't even want to know how much either those Nitrons or that exhaust are. Serious, serious cash. That said, I bet they're worth every penny. Beautiful stuff!

Double post.

If you can still lock the brakes, then they don't need to be bigger. You'll be fine.

Probably need some copper grease applying to the anti-squeal shims. Whip them out and given them a coating, see if that improves things.

Get the code read, either using the pedal dance method or with a proper reader. That will help pinpoint the issue.

Aha, I was right then! Deffo don't mix it mate, really going to cause you major grief that way. Stick with the green stuff, whether that's Nissan or Halfrauds.

I didn't find it that loud, certainly not as loud as some Skylines or Supras. That said, if you don't put any exhaust on from the cats back, there is no difference in volume from putting on a K1, only a tonal difference...!

Fugly, but then I'm not a fan of non-OEM wheels full stop so probably not the best judge I think the spokes are just too big for the Zed. What type and size tyres are on them, no guarantee that they'll be right for the Zed either y'see.

Yeah mines has them mate Well stone me, all that time I had mine and I never knew that! You learn something new every day!

There's heated mirrors availble on UK-spec cars? I thought that was one of those fancy-dancy JDM only options?

This. In a slightly more technical and helpful answer, think about what the wheel bolts/studs actually do and then think about it to the logical conclusion. That's not meant to sound patronising I promise, but it's a good way to work out whether any engineering thing is a good idea for yourself. The wheel bolts hold the wheels onto the car, and in real terms they hold the entire weight of the car equally over each corner and over each bolt. That's static, but if the car is accelerating/braking/turning, you will drastically alter the load per corner, and introduce massive stresses onto these items. If one should decide to give way for whatever reason, then that load is now distributed over even fewer points, causing more stress which in trun causes the liklihood of failure to increase dramatically. If this causes all of them to fail, and the wheel to fall off, this would be a Very Bad Thing Indeed. If a bolt is fixed, with no movement at all and everything is located centrally, then there can be no lateral movement causing extra stress. As soon as you try to use adaptors that allow any play at all, you can introduce stress ijn places where you wouldn't want it. Now, in practice you probably won't have any issue with using something like this, however is the risk you are taking worth it to save a few quid when you could risk your car or your life? That's up to the individual to decide I guess. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. There's thousands of wheels out there that will fit the Zed perfectly, and I'd be picking from something in that range or I'd go the extra mile and get a set of wheels made specifically if I couldn't find the style I wanted.

Back everything up and reinstall from scratch. If that doesn't work to your liking, then add some more RAM. If it's still not there, then I'd buy another one. Everyone will now come on and tell you that it's because you're running Vista, but they're wrong. It's just because of all the stuff you've added over the years, and even a defrag will only help so much. Happens to us all, and a reinstall is free way to speed everything up.

I loved mine on the ragtop. I think it's just the coupes that make it sound awful in the cabin. I guess it could grate if you were sat behind one for a while though

You spelt awesome wrong

The ESR K1 was a perfect fit. The Japspeed tat was bloody awful.

For just one year though, so not a great stat really.
