  1. Cheers dude that is true but brushing your teeth left handed is way harder than I expected
  2. Purchase from Tarmac Gains non without an UpRev as the ECU will just tune out the change Sorry cant help on last one.
  3. Count me in too +1
  4. Looks really good! I must say I was dubious!
  5. To be fair the pain has only really been really bad for about the last 9 months. Thanks dude. I hope you heal well and get to 100% pain free fitness.
  6. Get well soon man! Take care and definitely don't overdo it. I've had my fair share of muscular pain in my back and thats bad when overdoing things. One thing I have learnt after my many many injuries is to take things slow. Hope it all goes well and you can get back in the motor asap!
  7. Ha ha, you probably won't struggle to beat me. I'm useless, use Virgin internet which is very latent! In fact i'm on to Virgin at the moment to get it fixed I'm fed up of walking round a corner. Unloading a full clip into someone then I get killed. The replay then shows I haven't even fired! Useless latent Virgin!!! Too right Dan! Luckily I live on a quiet street thats at the end so no one can drive past and everyone else just has 'regular' cars. But I'm watching Le Man which isn't helping, just want to get out there and have a blast. Really looking forward to being able bodied again because I have so much to do and a car that needs driving. Jobs list.. 1 Fit New Front Bumper 2 Fill and smooth new front bumper 3 Fit side skirts 4 Take above parts for painting 5 Fit oil cooler 6 Fit oil temp gauge 7 Take car for MOT 8 Hexis Carbon Wrap various interior parts 9 Stop myself from buying Cragus' red Bride seats!!! <<<>>> My elbow has been a bit of a long termer. Back in 2004 I was in the gym and noticed I had a slight ache in my right elbow but it wasn't stopping me doing anything so ignored it. Well the ache never went away and I moved to Canada in 2006 for a year out after uni and thought I'll not go to the gym for the whole of this year and let all my various joints, namely the elbow joint, heal. Well came back in 2007 and went back to the gym, the pain was still there and in fact worse. So off I went to the docs. I was told it was likely to be tendon damage and to take Ibuprofen 4 times a day for two weeks. Two weeks later the elbow was exactly the same. So I was then referred to a 'Specialist' he decided it was a tricep tendonitis and that it was probably very accute so I was gonna be stuck with the pain. Anyway based upon this he gave me a load of exercises to do and said they should help. Anyway I carried on with those for a while but it made no difference. Then one day, about 8 months later, I was doing some big deadlifts in the gym and popped my back which trapped my sciatic nerve. So I went to the Physio at work and thought I'd ask if she could have a look at my 'Tricep Tendonitis' when she was doing my Sciatica. Turns out the specialist knew nothing and the physio said there is no way that the pain was a tricep tendonitis......go back to the docs. So back I went, this time I was sent for an X ray and they found bone spurrs growing on my forearm and into the elbow joint pushing it apart. The doc gave me a Cortisone injection which did help a lot and the pain more or less went for about 3 months. However then it came back I figured I'd ignore it and just carry on. However, then after about 6 - 9 more months it was getting ridiculous. I couldn't play squash, basketball or do any sort of weight lifting. Not Cool. So back to doctors and I got referred to a proper specialist who said surgery was the only fix after looking at the X Rays. Thats where I am now. Hoping the op has been successful, the spurrs won't come back and I can start throwing the weights around again. I haven't lifted in about 9 months now and lost best part of 3 stone so can't wait to get back in the gym and go for a drive
  8. Ha ha definitely high five. However your surgery sounds way more painful and serious than mine was! Get well soon fella. The boredom is the killer, I've been buying stuff constantly on eBay got a list of projects as long as my leg once my arm is ok! Lol
  9. Well I'm currently mid way through two weeks off work and it's one hell of a bore! Normally if I had this time off I'd be polishing, claying, messing about and knocking jobs off my long car to do list. Maybe even mowing the grass Lol and doing lots of driving. Sadly at the moment all I can do Is watch tv, text left handed and play MW3! Im not even allowed to drive :drive: Reason being I've just had elbow surgery and it's very painful I only have about ten degrees bend on the arm. Can't wait for the pain to go and go out for a spin!
  10. Lol we must all be a bit ham fisted
  11. And posted it three times just to be certain it had gone through.
  12. Agh, I didn't realise that. In that case I Think that's the most likely explanation.
  13. Or maybe the ribbon cable has been ragged off?
  14. It's very easy to damageq
  15. Yes if you remove the gear surround and heater controls behind there tucked away at the back is a white box with a ribbon cable coming out of it. This is the control unit.
  16. Bloody hell someone got a bit excited then! Lol

    New wheels :)

    The specific width you can run depends upon what offset the wheels are to begin with. You may notice you get some strange traction control issues running a square set up because the ECM expects to see the rear wheels rotating slower than the fronts because they are normally larger. On a square set up they'll all be at same speed so may cause a problem. Just have to see. Good luck!

    New wheels :)

    Love the style mate but as Stew says something doesn't look quite right on the rear one could be the picture of course. Profile looks a little odd. Most people go 275 or 285/35/19 at the back.
  19. Looks like its gonna be carbon wrap... Bought some Hexis vinyl yesterday. I feel a carbon addiction coming on...
  20. I'd love to see it too I had an ST185 before the 350z. Loved the old GT4, loads of mechanical grip was an awesome machine!
  21. Totally agree mate civilians tooling up with guns would make it a whole lot worse. Criminals would just do the same and the uk becomes little America where nowhere is 'safe'. I think gun laws should be tightened further but as you say criminals leave their rights at the door when the break in.
  22. It should be like it is in the US regarding intruders. Pretty much if someone is in your home without permission do what you want. The victim should be the one who gets the sympathy, the protagonist should get nothing!
  23. I'm either going to vinyl wrap or carbon skin mine I just can't decide which is the best of the two methods .....
  24. Pm sent
