They do indeed, any unsportsmanlike conduct is a disqualification. But due to all the fans who were there they should have allowed the match to continue and addressed after like in F1. They could still have DQ'd him and avoided all the fans being pisses off . Agree though totally uncalled for.

Hi wink did you get the resonated or non resonated variant? I'm thinking of getting a new exhaust due to the k1 doing my nut in.... Too loud even bunged!
-
It's a shame he wasn't allowed to play on purely for the fans who had paid good money to be there. They should have finished the game and then followed up afterwards.
-
nothing to see here
-
Yes I've seen that picture before, one bonus is its light weight ha ha I think the K1 already falls into the big bag of metal filings category!

Well, it depends, the biggest reason to take the car to a bodyshop is that the paint gets baked so is harder than you can achieve at home. You simply can't do this at home unless you have a garage sized oven. I did some painting of interior bits last year and as long as you take your time and rub down with 2000 grit wet and dry between coats, and ensure each coat is clean (harder than you think due to static) then its easy. However, for colour match and paint longevity I'd go to a bodyshop.

That is true Dave. Whilst my K1 fits really well in terms of alignment (novelty for Japspeed) you can just tell its not a great quality exhaust. When they try modding it the walls would probably just melt. They seem to be very thin.... I like exhausts where you can see the cans like the buddy club and K1 so aside from these two mega loud systems there isn't much choice because I'm not willing to spend over 1K. Custom is likely to be the best bet for me and I can then go true dual

Depends where you are mate in the country. I can recommend Exhausts UK in Sheffield for custom job (Used to be called Ascar) I'm pretty sure they are the chaps who make the Cobra systems. I'm considering going down there because I have a K1 which I love the look of but is too loud so may pop down to see if they can do anything to make it quieter.......However whilst I'm there I may just get a new system made up . . . .

Cheers dude that is true but brushing your teeth left handed is way harder than I expected

-
Count me in too +1
-
Looks really good! I must say I was dubious!
-
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.
-
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!

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
-
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
-
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!
-
Lol we must all be a bit ham fisted
-
And posted it three times just to be certain it had gone through.
-
Agh, I didn't realise that. In that case I Think that's the most likely explanation.
-
Or maybe the ribbon cable has been ragged off?
-
It's very easy to damageq
-
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.

Bloody hell someone got a bit excited then! Lol
