Now's your excuse to get an exhaust that freeeeees that V6 man!

I should think that the 20's will ruin the ride and handling, which would be a shame. Nissan designed the car to use wider tyres at the rear to provide grip for the grunt of the V6 - presumably they used a narrower front to make it easier to turn the front wheels and prevent tramlining. The tcs would probably be confused by the new weird geometry too....

Are you talking about the cheapo ebay stainless jobs for about 200 nicker?

yes are they any good? or just cheap n nasty?

Well, reading between the lines........

A few people have bought cheapo stainless exhausts on here and had to spend a bit of time adjusting/modifying them to gt them to fit properly. Basically if you're handy or have a friendly fitter it might be worth a punt.

I can't comment on this Infinity item although someone else might come along with experience of them.

CONGRATULATIONS!

If no one on here has a spare I'd try ebay. You could also try the old school way - call a few scrap yards or do an online parts search.

What tyre brand / spec do you need?

Also bear in mind that there are different specs of each processor - ie you can get crap i7's and great i7's.

i think it should be now that we point out how expensive it is to manufacture in ABS, the machine i had at my old place took ABS cartridges, they were very expensive, we had a student mock up a kids toy train at 1 foot long and 7" high it cost about £60 in materials.

 

these new powder based resin printers are cheaper to maintain but costs are still high.

£60 is cheap Materials don't cost much if you have the luxury of playing with a machine at work/school but it is expensive to out-source the models due to high equipment/maintenance costs, as I said.....

We use these at work a lot. Each model is pretty expensive - something 400x400x400mm is about a grand depending on complexity.

This is for the powder based models......

I say build one, if you have some basic know how. Just do your research to ensure the parts like each other. It's satisfying when it all works (it's a lot easier these days) and you will have a better spec machine at the end of it - in addition to having a better understanding to fix things if they go wrong.

I spent £600 5 or 6 years ago and ended up with a machine which would have cost around £1K already built.

A pocket rocket?

Parked up on East Street in Bromley this evening......

What's with the black bumper?

We use these at work a lot, in fact we're thinking about getting one for the studio.

Each model is

pretty expensive - something 400x400x400mm is about a grand depending on complexity. It's very cool when you get a model delivered that you only just sent for printing that day

These are nice versions for the home http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/makerbot/

Can I have a brace of Porsches from the Steve McQueen Le Mans film please

I couldn't resist putting this pic up - the car isn't all that clear (it's a 917K) but check out that race patina!

I just found this site with some cool Le Mans film images, in case anyone is interested....

I got into Vietnamese coffee when I was over there last year. It can be really chocolatey but the taste is from the bean itself and not added afterwards. I've tried a few coffees here that claim to be 'chocolatey' but they just don't cut it!

The Vietnamese use a 'phin' filter, here's a link http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/abou ... filter.php

It's quick and easy to use, in fact I use it every morning now.

Maybe not one to lust after but probably one of the best celeb cars to actually drive....

The comedown from a night spent on Redbull is as bad as any drug. DO NOT LIKE.

That must have been some special Red Bull

I had a couple of very minor accidents in my first 12 months of driving, went into a huge hole in the road.

Ees..... a ham bush...."

Brilliant, I actually laughed out loud at my desk

Sometimes when I'm really tired and drifting into the curb on the motorway I stop at the services and buy a can of Red Bull. It's amazing, afterwards I feel like I could drive for days and I'm really alert - it's like I can anticipate things before they happen.

Does anyone else think Red Bull makes you a better driver?

leeroy where did you ski axams? Havent been there since I was 7 lol.

We stayed in Igls, near Innsbruck and explored the nearby Patscherkofel ski area. We went up for a day on the Stubai Glacier too which was awesome.

Looking forward to checking Soll out in a couple of weeks

Schnitzels don't do it for me I'm afraid. The Gulasch has now been beaten, since my parents mOved to Hungary, The Hungarian Goulash absolutely kicks ass.

 

I'm sure. SkiZ trip could be organised. Even better how about a ski drive with the Zeds

For me unless I'm desperate for skiing I avoid the weekend trips as they are as expensive as a full week. I'll maybe throw some ideas into the pass.

I'm partial to the Gulasche still, been to Innsbruck twice (was there the weekend before last) and the Picante Gulasche is a nice slope lunch. With a Weizenbier of course

My latest trip was for a weekend and you're right it's an expensive way to do it, but it's hard to get a couple of trips in otherwise. Innsbruck can't be beaten for transfer times when you're pushed for time.

Awesome vid and some nice skiing

I'm off boarding in Soll at the end of the month, any top tips for slope spots and apres ski? Where's it easiest to get off-piste?

for three days running my old freelander was ploughing snow......An estate won't cut it here if you want to get about 365 days a year unfortuantely.

A perfect example of proper, non-ghey 4X4 use

There is some really useful info on there Coldel I posted a link to the suspension page awhile ago.

It's nicely written - even I can understand the technical stuff and I'm a bit sthpeshal

How rural are you going to be Rubber?

I'm in the '4x4's are ghey' club, unless the clearance is REALLY needed - ie for more than a handful of days a year. Otherwise they just obscure the view ahead for people in proper cars.

There are some nice 4WD estate options

To be fair, it isn't surprising that none of the blokes on here will admit to liking Whitney Housten's music. For the record I don't either

But like it or not she/her record company produced some tunes which hit all the right buttons for plenty of people who like that crap - and made a fortune for her and the company. That isn't her fault and I think that success should be celebrated. At least she had a talent, unlike most of the sheite we get drip-fed these days - step forward 'TOWIE'

I think it's a shame it ended for her that way, drugs or no drugs.....
