  1. OK makes more sense. Should equate to about 290-295WHP which is very strong. Was there a fudge factor used Bennet to get to fly numbers or was it left to run down drag to calculate it? Fly numbers have a habbit of being optimistic from what I understand. I wish power. at the wheels went up from 264 to 283bhp. It's the friction losses from the fly to the wheels. Then some say that power at the hubs is a bit more optimistic too. It's fly>hubs>wheels. I am confident that early April it will be 350 at the fly and 290 at the wheels with fresh plugs and standard boxes.
  2. hi flow cats, nismo cat back and nismo dual intakes. i am putting back the standard boxes with cosworth panel filters and apparently i should get a bit more. first run with the mods was 319 then paul fiddled with it and took it to 340.7 at the fly. people here say its a pessimistic dyno that one as well or smth i dont know. i dont really care about the numbers... and yes it was end of the day and the last few runs were very very hot! ps i got the car from new and run it in properly! drove from the dealership home and just admired it think what i could possibly change. then went for a 4 hour drive from 11 at night till 3 in the morning! and that was only the first day haha
  3. Ps for the op. No the parking sensors don't work like that although the electromagnetic ones I ve got (front ones anyway) can be activated at any time via a switch. You need a proper radar detector and jammer for what you wanna do. Google it they do work most of the time but they are not to promote speeding anywhere and everywhere you can still get done. All they donis give you a few seconds to react on a laser gun lock. The guns get at least 2 readings. It starts beeping at the first one (sometimes earlier but don't depend on it) but you have to slow down and give them a second or a third reading. Otherwise they ll suspect it and then you ll be in deeeeep sh@t
  4. The op asked a question. No need for all that. The mods would happily lock the thread due to its content but at the same time they allow spamming and unreasonable bullying. I really doubt most of the comments would take place on a face to face conversation and I really detest the pretentious behaviour of some of the zed members here. Same old story about who obeys the law etc etc. Rant over...sorry had a hard day at work and I am missing my zed which I actually took to the car audio shop today for a new dd head unit amps speakers and front and rear sensors! Oh yes sensors! Now the op can pm me if he wants any details. Sorry again if I upset anyone. Greekman
  5. Yes the remap does that too. It feels sharper and more urgent but it doesn't transform to a rocket
  6. Haha true. First run was 319 Keep us posted
  7. Nice Neil! On mine I ve got over 340 at the fly. Will soon try it on stock boxes with cosworth filters. Should get a few more ponies.
  8. Nice 1 mate. Can't wait to see them curves haha
  9. Its never the pets fault!!! They are only animals after all. I feel for you mate and I support the death penalty for reasons like this.
  10. I ve driven both roadsters and I bought a 313. Worth every penny. It's a different engine not just a few more bhp. I didn't think of the interior one bit. It's all about the grunt, flexibility and easier revving of the newer engine. Plus the lights are better and look way cooler.
  11. Ooops he has indeed!! I won't comment further but we ve got a policy for all patients to pay in advance for their treatment -not exams- and it's ok with the gdc and pct but we apply it to all patients. As for pinning kids down I can say all sorts as I am very old fashioned as a person...but I would rather keep my registration Remember giving metronidazole to a 17 year old once and saying to him "it probably doesn't apply to you dude as you are not old enough yet but you have to be very very careful with these tablets-no alcohol at all! Not a sip!" His mum went barmy saying my son doesn't drink and all the jazz when it was obvious the lad was too 'cool' for his age haha
  12. He has not been struck off yet...and I doubt he will unacceptable if you ask me...but at the same time I can't strike patients off for stinking etc... It should be the same both ways. Dentistry can very rewarding and so frustrating at the same time grrrrr
  13. I am off to Greece and back 12th of April till middle mate. In the Zed that is. France quieter motorways, german deristricted. italy autostrada tarmac smooth as a baby's ass. driving the stalvio pass on the way back middle of may. also from milan to monaco the route is fantastic and i ve driven round brittany too...Ace! but look for hidden gendam... some awesome roads in germany too if you head towards the black forest
  14. Super unleaded on the track was £1,40!!! they say they dont make any profit on it but high price is due to the fact that they are not ordering in large quantities. On 050As tyres overheated before the brakes. On 888s the brakes struggled. there is only 2 heavy braking points at cadwell (or 2 and a half). 1st after the long straight at the back where i am sure you wont have the bottocks to brake after the hill top (you ll know what i mean from the first lap haha....i saw 125mph on dry and 888s before i hit the brakes). if you take it easy there your brakes wont overheat! second is a downhill straight after a shichane end 2/3rds of the track. brake early and you ll be faster on the left corner coming as it needs early turn in with settled car. brake late and you ll meet the photographer....brake wrong and you ll clinb the hill on the left after the left corner ( seen 2 S2000s so far) its a long technical track and bites only wet. if dry go for it mate. if available ask for help at the desk...if you spend a few quid in advance you ll enjoy the rest of the day much much more
  15. was there on saturday again as its my local. if its wet no need to prep anything if its dry you ll have a fab time just beware of the hall bends...very very aware esp if damp! enjoy
  16. Really I like the sound of that! Greekman probably has no cats and 3" pipes straight through though! Lol hfc's and nismo exhaust i think! And K&N filters on air intakes. Everything else pretty standard Over 340 on the fly and that was a very very hot run as well, over 290 at the wheels. Mark says you can gain even more on standard boxes with drop in filters. Made a hell of a difference...worth every penny.
  17. i understand dude, i can be annoying sometimes reading reviews on the internet. they are more like opinions and opinions are like ars..oles...everybody has got one dont forget that the difference between the ps2 and ps3 may not be noticeable on every day driving...in fact the ps3s may be better for everyday driving. let us know what you think about them comparing to what you had before. on another note my 050As scuderia are not ageing well. currently about 5mm at the rear and 7mm at the front. rear set has been changed once which means fronts are twice as old as the rears since they went on the car. The car is understeering quite a bit from slightly over that was before. tyre pressures are spot on and set up hasnt been changed. didnt have the same issue when front and rears wore down the same. i can only assume that its ageing ? from September till January i had the rays on with the 888s and grip/balance was immense in the dry cold/freezing, good in the damp, average in the wet, scary in the freezing wet and ditch finding in the grit/ice
  18. According to Michelin they are not the replacement for ps2s but more like a more all weather sports tyre. ps2s are more of a summer performance tyre. Will be good to see your review anyway but that's why the ps3s are cheaper.
  19. 7 years of wrestling, 2 and half of judo, 1 year kick boxing and about 6 months of mma now. Still training at judo as well. I personally find everything a bit too much for my age and profession as in real life I d run and avoid or go for Adams apple However the sensation of throwing somebody big style can only be beaten by the tapping noise on the mat when he submits ... All the best with your training m8 and stay away from nasty joint locks
  20. bennet even with all the bushings changed there will still be a bit a wheel hopping. its about 90% better but not 100%. pound for pound its probably the worst mod. but i does make the car feel more accurate, stiff, immediate and flatter. at the same time more bouncy, snappy and abrupt. all the best with mod...i am sure you ll be posting loads of rants
  21. i just emailed him that alex. john attacked me with a spanner when i went round one day taking the ****...he was trying to remove one of the subframe's bushings at the time
  22. you are welcome here any time m8...hunting season is ongoing atm as for the 2 days make it 2 weeks!!! i said over 50 working hours. price i ll email you but you are looking at 4 figures m8 then again i had a few more things done to it at the same time but still i cant see it taking much less time and being considerably less expensive. job was top notch but whoever does it has to run the garage as well. cant close it down for 3-4 days just to deal with one car as for my set up its great...and you will love the stiffness of the suspension...but you will lose your friends!!! anybody with back problems or less that bullet proof stomach wont like it...esp town driving.
  23. I am not too concerned with NVH as i already live with a K1 I spoke to Adam a while back and he said it was not too bad. You mean, uprated engine, tranny and diff mounts would give mainly more direct transmision of power down the driveline and positive gearshift changes while the rear subframe solid urethane bushes will eliminate wheel hop (OEM ones are to soft and gelfilled ..... for the comfort loving masses ) Hey dude. hope you are doing well. as you know i ve had all of the above changed but the engine mounts. bugger of a job. rear subframe needs to come out. about 50!! working hours etc etc. doing it yourself you ll need the equipment of a fully stocked up garage and you ll have to do a lot of burning and sawing to get the old ones out. then good luck squeezing some of the new ones in (some of them are relatively easy to go in).
