  1. You must have JLR on speed dial by now!
  2. Just because it's a drift car or a race car, doesn't mean it has to look like it was thrown together like a kiddy playing with Duplo bricks. It's a great feat of engineering, but instead of us sitting here and congratulating the guy about this we're moaning about the shut lines FFS! That's why we wear a suit and tie to job interviews, because first impressions count.

  4. All true, except he's on the RE050As which are a far, far superior tyre to the RE040s
  5. I know exactly what you're talking about, and you're right to hold off on the tyres for now. Get yourself a set of adjustable ARBS (Eibach are very good from experience) and then the full set of underbody bracing (IIRC there's two braces at the front, one giant one in the middle and another one at the rear) from GT Spec or Summit. The bracing alone will give you far more feedback and also sharper steering at the front end, whilst the back will give you a tighter rear end for more control when it does break loose. Also a good set of adjustable A-arms on the front suspension and camber arms for the rear will enable a more positive geo to be done on the car, allowing even more fine tuning. Do that, then do the suspension if you're still not happy. I suspect you will be though, as from your previous posts I can tell you're a man after my own heart where feel from the car is above all else.
  6. Sentences were fine, racism shouldn't make a difference in a murder trial, killing someone is killing someone regardless of because of race, for money, or any other reason. Life should mean life, not a minimum term of X years. We should be putting pressure on politicians to change that law, not picking holes on whether 14 years is too much or too little for the life of this particular guy.
  7. Rio needs putting down, lame old horse now sadly. For the neutral, it was a cracking game to watch, just a shame City couldn't get draw.
  8. I wouldn't say that, the 355 isn't that much worse in terms of chassis, but tech does move on and the 355 is starting to feel its age now sadly. Great looking cars, and even better sound, but ageing albeit gracefully.
  9. Exactly, under the gaitor attached to the shaft itself
  10. You'd be surprised, a 355 is old now and I'd expect a 350 to have a substantially better chassis, it's more the mid-enginedness of the Fezza that will make it feel more planted.
  11. Sounds about right as a trade in tbh. Dealer needs to make a profit somewhere, so they'll a grand and a half on that and be prepared to be haggled down the £500.
  12. Pop a cable tie underneath and trim it, it will hold the gaiter up
  13. Duct tape it is then, you can always peel that back off before you sell it
  14. Toyo (for example, easy website to navigate hence my use of them here for an example!) don't recommend anything over 255 on an 8.5" rim. I can't find the wheel size for OEM F355 rears, but if they're 10" then they'd be more than happy with 295 on the back. Did you try running the wheels with those tyres without the spacers? How much power are you putting down now? If you really need more grip from your tyres, you'll either need to consider larger wheels or moving to a better tyre: What tyres are you using now?
  15. Passed new MOTs in the last week? Fair enough, good for them.
  16. Time to open the dash and snip the LED I reckon
  17. VX220s don't and never had HIDs though, not a fair comparison.
  18. All RS Meganes now come with 265bhp as per the Trophy Still think it's not a bargain?
  19. Quick tap of the pipe with a screwdriver will give the game away
  20. Why would the Racelogic stuff not pass MOT? Has it been wired in dangerously?
  21. Why do it all on the same day? Drive up, test, do deal, leave £500 deposit, come back week later and pay the rest. That's what mst people do, surely? Gives you time to sort insurance and stuff out.
  22. Never done it myself as I've always bought from main dealers, but I would only ever do it via walking into a bank and doing the transfer there and then, too much to go wrong/get ripped off otherwise. If that meant taking a day off work, it would be worth it.

    And how much is it going to be? £100K? £150K?
  24. £55, the same it always does. They're not allowed to charge any more than that, clicky me for the proper list. D1 spec? Do you mean the accelerator pedal sensitivity adjuster thing? That'll be fine, or you could just unplug it for the hour if you're that worried.
  25. Brendon Barber is a c*nt of the highest order, up there with Dave Prentis and Uber-C*nt Bob Crow. To quote Ben Affleck in J&SBSB, "F*ck them. F*ck them in their stupid asses!".
