The whole striking thing boils my ****. Until anyone of them can give a credible alternative to the cuts, they can FRO and suck it up like the private sector have had to for the last few years.

No worries bud, always happy to help

R26 would be a good car to run, or a 330i for RWD. Chuck another grand and you're in V8 Cerb territory...

He's based at North Weald but does the odd day further north and further south on occasion, stick with the original though Aside from that a track day with someone like Bookatrack or Javelin with an instructor in the morning would be a good shout too, they're tightly run so have no time for idiots which makes them very safe.

Because that's what Subaru will eventually do with theirs, whereas Toyota will go with a hybrid option. Very pleased to see the weight down so low, however it's not exactly a looker (front is scowling and the rear is like a slab) so it'll need to be very special to drive.

Go see Walshy at Carlimits.com, he's a terrific bloke despite being Welsh ( ) and will teach you loads from the very basics to the very advanced. I really need to do my third day there soon...

As a Leeds fan I was gutted when the news first came through, as he remains the only pro footballer I've ever met many years ago outside Highbury after we beat the Gooners 3-1 at their place, and he signed my programme for me too. My first ever game as well, I was the happiest kid on earth back then! He was an absolute legend for us back in the day, worked so hard and had a great touch along with a strong tackle, perfect midfielder. I can't accept suicide as a way out though, his poor family will be distraught over this, especially his sons. No person should do that to the people they care about, there's always another way. No doubting the guy's talents as a footballer and he always came across as a nice bloke, but I can't help but feel let down by one of my childhood heroes today. I know that's not considered a very PC viewpoint and will no doubt stir some tough feelings, but it's something I feel strongly about.

Really? That's interesting, I'll have to make a note to change websites where I get my data from, thanks for the heads up!

I agree. So when are you getting a GTR? Wouldn't want to downgrade

I ran the RS14s on my old VXR220 and loved them, I'd also previously ran the 1144 on the car too but found them to be only mildly better than the OEM pads, and certainly not worth the halo praise that the VX community tended to give them. The RS14s on the other hand were (as I'm sure you know) utterly amazing, and I would definitely give them a go on the Zed. For a combination of track/fast road use the Performance Friction discs + pads were my favourite setup on my old 350, along with the Endless fluid and the ubiquitous Goodridge lines. Never saw any fade regardless of track or temperature, although I'm not a particularly heavy braker especially on track.

Not entirely sure how much they'd differ from a regular 050A, but those tyres are designed as OEM fit on a Mazda MPV (doesn't say which one) not a Zed. Probably not enough to make a huge difference, but worth bearing in mind and/or contacting Bridgestone for more detail on.

Porsches are rubbish. All of them.

Nissan stuff is very reasonable and comes in a concentrated form. I wouldn't worry about the hassle of putting anything else in when the proper stuff is so easily available.

C1S on the rear, but still running T1R on the front by any chance?

Too much awesome for one boat, I reckon.

That's buggered my theory that only Roadsters kept outside suffer from these issues then!

Sea air will definitely have an effect, how strong a one I wouldn't like to say though. Out of interest is your car garage overnight?

So if it doesn't pass an MOT its not road legal Not passing an MOT and not being road legal are 2 different things. if your car fails the MOT then its not classed as roadworthy. This doesn't make the decats illegal. There is no law that I know of that requires a road going car to have a cat fitted. Spot-on, and well put I'd be more worried about not declaring decats than I would be if I had an accident with them on after telling the insurer.

Aye

I'm no longer a mod, thought it was about time I stepped aside as I don't really have the time to commit to it anymore which isn't fair on anyone really.

Oh no wait, I dont. Sorry 'bout that.

I think they look awesome.

Perfectly normal, it's just the mounts taking up the slack as the engine makes all that lovely torque

Such an amazing band live, I saw them in '96 on their Mellon Collie tour, knocked my socks off

I never had a returned wave in the zed I did manage to get a wave off a Cayenne owner the other day though which surprised me hugely! I still wave to Lotus and Zed cars regardless of what I'm driving, always will I think.
