  1. You mean you cannot post in Announcements at all, or you can't start a new thread?
  2. Iz a bangin idea, blud.
  3. We don’t even know what tyres they’re are. If 453 then yeah they’re budget but okay, if 912 then they need binning as you’re starting from too low a baseline. JP is right though, take everything back to stock geo and pinpoint exactly what you don’t like. Ultimately you’re losing traction because you’re putting down too much power for the tyres to cope with, so either remove right foot or add more grip with better rubber.
  4. I hate change, but I think this is a very good idea. Well done to all for making a brave step forward by going back, IYSWIM. Genuinely, not being sarcastic.
  5. Or a Mini, everything has those headlights!
  6. Close! Bingo.
  7. And no, it's not a Porsche
  8. I'm a sad git Two secs, I'll go find a pic.
  9. My first thought, until I remembered that F1s only have two rear lights. Has to be an Ultima if it's three?

  11. Perhaps, but it's not like you can't do the exact same thing just flexing your ankle a bit less. Plus it's not like the throttle on the 350 is particularly snappy.

    Manfoot, I'm pinching that!
  13. It's fun for three minutes, then you realise you lose precise modulation of the throttle so the car actually becomes harder to control on the corners. I had one for a bit, then binned it when I realised the illusion was doing more harm than good. I really don't recommend them any more.
  14. I figured I’d let someone else mention tyres for a change
  15. Braided lines are definitely a plus (and cheap too), then I would change the pads for something you know to be decent. If the discs are okay then leave them be: My current preference is to use reasonably cheap discs and spend the cash on the pads instead. Obvs if you have the money then get some awesome discs as well, but personally I feel you see more benefit from pads than discs pound for pound. In terms of pads, I'd go for the Performance Friction 01 pads on the front and their Z-rated pads on the back. I've had personal experience with these and have found nothing better on road and track, although please check they've not updated their part codes in the last few years! And I really wouldn't worry about putting the 'closed roads' thing on here, no-one's fooled for a minute Just put 'repeated high speed stops' or something equally vague but informative, as at least that way you're not leaving yourself open for prosecution as well as a telling off from the mods
  16. If you want a fast car, follow the rules: First make it stop, then make it handle, then make it go. If you sort your brakes out then you can carry much more speed that you currently do, then do your suspension so you can corner quicker so waste less speed, then worry about power. The Zed has more than enough grunt as stock, you just need to maximise the weak points (brakes and suspension) to really make the most of it.
  17. Oi I liked that wing Got a couple of ideas for the next car, but I’m in no hurry so we’ll see what turns up.
  18. Now I know you’re trolling!
  19. Again, you’re proving science, not sky fairy magic. There’s science behind why washing with clean water is good, or why blood is kinda important.
  20. Why would you NOT want to go to Mars?! Interesting fact: Mars is the only planet we know of completely inhabited by robots.
  21. Actually to put it another way... New discovery proves existing science wrong: ”Oh wow, congrats guys, that’s a brilliant breakthrough! We can all learn from this and move on!” New discovery proves religion wrong: ”Oh erm, well we didn’t actually mean that originally, what we actually meant was...”
  22. But there’s no evidence for religion. At all. Absolutely nothing provable in the slightest. As @StevoD put it, it’s no more provable than Pokemon.
  23. Did you even read ilogikals’s post? It’s not a good video. At all.
  24. Also be aware that very few places stock NOS these days, and even fewer companies insure cars with it.
