Another good company is PC Specialist. Don't be put off by the rubbish name or by their rubbish adverts in the specialist press, I gave them a whirl and they were superb. Great prices, even better delivery times, and well packaged upon delivery too. As far as graphics cards go, just look at THG charts and you'll get an idea of how good stuff is relative to each other, then just pick one in your price range. I love my i7 with 12GB of RAM, but it doesn't get used for gaming at all and you'd be better off swapping CPU power for GPU power if it's a games machine. Don't get sucked in by pretty cases either, spend that extra money where it counts like RAM or a better PSU.

Yeah, I saw that over on PH. Did you see the episode?

Definitely 100% get decent ones if you're going to do it

Can't on the Porker, but I may give them a go on the MX-5 if I decide to move away from ultra cheapo rubber on it. Will probably need a new set after another trackday tbh I don't hate Falken tyres, and I don't even hate the 452s on the right application, I just don't feel they're a suitable tyre for a 1500kg 300bhp sports coupe. I've even used the MX-5 as an example of a car the 452 would be appropriate for in the past, long before I owned one. If the 453 is a significant improvement, then I'll be as happy as anyone.

It will remove the initial coat of dirt, but as you say you'll still need to TBM to do it properly. I have a very good snow foam lance (purchased from Tim @Envy, IIRC) and a good bottle of foam. I never use mine any more. Make of that what you will. Tbh I'd use it on a shed or a works vehicle and then use a mitt to scrub away at the foam, saving the need to wash properly afterwards, but never ever on a decent car.

If that video is representative of the actual product, then it's an absolute pile of sh*t.

You're putting weight at the worst possible place, so it will impact on your acceleration, your deceleration, and your handling. Whether you consider that a trade off worth having is up to the individual. If you've already got heavy wheels on your car (OEM 18s or aftermarket ones, anything other than the Rays or the very expensive wheels basically) then you'd probably not going to lose out that much. If you've spent hundreds of pounds on intake, exhaust and remaps to make your car go quicker, it would seem a bit daft to then add weight back in to make it slower. Each to their own.

Is that not just an OEM part? If that's the case, then any Nissan dealer can supply.

When is the 400Z getting released??!!

I still think you'll be surprised how little difference it makes to your premium, I really do.

You'll still have to notify them mate, as they ask if there's any pending convictions now

Basically, as long as the needle is between the lowest and highest marks, there's nothing to be concerned about.

That's what I thought, but a poster a few posts back says they're running out of stock now.

Paying the fine and taking the points are the same thing, you can't do one without the other.

Perfectly normal. As the oil gets hotter it gets thinner.

Cancel and send them back.

My Karcher mixes the product in the crappy bottle before it goes through the lance, the bottle is located atop the main unit. Only my snow foam attachment on the end of the lance works in the way your appears too. What pressure washer do you have?

I would never use that crappy wash bottle with a pressure washer. Mine is used only for rinsing, so the only product that goes through the machine is water. A decent foam lance will be fine on any pressure washer.

You'll still be able to get them then I reckon, could take a while to use all the stock up. Or you could buy a new set of rears now and put them somewhere safe.

Somewhere about now, BM. I suspect the 453 will be a significantly better tyre than the 452, much like the jump between 040 and 050A. Means I'll have to find another tyre to pick on now

Given the goodies on that car, and considering Cat D status, that's not actually too bad price-wise as long as it's straight.

Congrats, you're qualified!

Seriously, this. You can either touch them up after every single drive, slowly working your way into insanity, or you could just get the front bumper resprayed for a couple of hundred quid every year or so.

If it wasn't for the comedy arches, that would be a real sleeper.
