  1. Right,got a list of stuff to do to the Datsun before Leman,as its now due its service. Was a P1 last year. Was thinking of doing Gearbox oil,and possible diff oil,engine oil and filter,brake fluid change and braided HEL hoses,serpentine belt to go with my new lightweight pullies,and change the spark plugs. Is there anything else that i may need to do,or is recommended? I was wondering about a coolant change,but this seems to cause more trouble than its worth.
  2. Me and the Mrs are going in Zed this year. Travelling down on the Thursday. Hope to see some fellow members there. Got abit of a mad rush to get the car sorted for then,but should be fine. Going with my mate on his mk5 888 Astra. Im looking forward to the tunnels!
  3. I have a carbon central front bumper cover if you are interested. Makes the car look alot meaner. PM me if your interested.

    I went for Falken 452's,and paid £560 delivered. Also got them fitted for free after the tyre place damaged my wheels. It works out alot cheaper to buy the tyres separate if you can be bothered with the hassle,as you save yourself a fair chuck of money.
  5. One of my favourites,not long after i got the car.
  6. They have these twisty screw fixings,4 i believe. Though it has been a while since iv looked

    Well i went 245 on the front,you could probably get away with 265max,and the rears you could probably get away with 305,but 295 would look good. Iv got 275,and they look abit stretched.

    That was without spacers chap. 9.5 front-10.5 rear. When i replace the rears,il be going for 295 instead of the 275,as not a huge fan of the stretched look.
  9. I must say i was very underwhelmed when i saw pics of the new car,as it was lauded to advertise loads of new features and designs etc. But looking at the Countach to Diablo change,then Diablo to Murci,and now the Murci to Aventador,you can see progressive evolution. You can see areas of the previous car in it yes,but evolved and moved on. The advert is great,really gripping and powerful. Just like the car.

    I have got ET12 front and ET22 rear. I bought them from Varrstoen direct. Hang on il find some pics
  11. Thanks for peoples thoughts about the dimples/ no dimples. Iv looked at the part this morning,and know how im going to make it now. Also stripped the badge and the vinyl wrap off so its ready for filling and prepping now. Hope to get the mould made this week,as shouldnt take too long to do.
  12. No many people using the poll,but the few that have seem to mostly want the cover with the dimples in. Its no issue,its just so i know what to make. Iv seen a few threads about people making carbon rear strut covers,but as these are wet laminate,there is always weave distortion and it never looks quite right. Mine will be pre preg carbon material,cured and bagged in an autoclave.
  13. I can supply a proper Carbon fibre front bumper cover if you so wish. That will be black and shiny. PM me if your interested.

  15. Looks good,but needs some tyre dressing to really finish it off.
  16. Right looking at getting the mould for these made next week. Im curious as to what to do with the dimples that are on the part,either side of the Z badge. Would people just want a flat over,or would the dimples be preferred? Iv decided to make them without the Z badge recess and holes,as i think most people would want them with either another badge or just without. Please let me know what you think.
  17. Yes i saw that. Thats Crunch,Marks No1 mechanic. I couldnt really believe it myself to be honest,was abit shocking. But hes entitled to his views and opinions.
  18. Certainly was a great race to watch,so much action going on. As for the finger boy comment,he is still No1......... Hamilton drove a great race,he certainly can overtake,he was a worthy victor. Mark drove an amazing race too,it was great to watch,as at the start he was not making progress at all,then it all came back to him. Shame Vettel was not on a 3stop,otherwise he would have won comfortably,but if you had said at the start of the race we would finish 2nd+3rd,i would have been more than happy,so was a good result.
  19. Il be developing a full real carbon dash kit very soon. But need to to do the rear strut cover first.
  20. Dont forget a few cans of Red Bull to help you pull an all nighter to fix your PC! lol
  21. Iv been the past 2 years,and to be honest its so mobbed that you dont get to see as much as you would like. Then by the same token,if your sat up in the grandstand,then your not walking around seeing all the other cars etc. Its a great day out,but dont expect to see everything in one day. Im also going to try to go to the Pageant of Power,which sounds like a similar thing,but shouldnt be as busy,and is up north near Chester. Maybe worth a look.
