  3. OMG!, And I've also recently noticed that his spam has gone! Usually when I come on and click "View New Posts", its normally full of Marks spam replies.
  4. Put all my cloths, microfibres and pads into a tub and soak in hot water and Fairy Liquid. Squeeze out all the wax or whatever out of the pads, then into the washing mashine, 40 degrees quick wash. If you have a whiff in the washing machine afterwards, just bung some soda crystals into the machine and run the machine on empty, should get rid of the smell.
  5. I wouldn't mind meeting at Birchanger, but that will mean hitting the road at 7am-ish and then going southwest, when Snett is north west from Ipswich. If people would rather meet at Birchanger, that's fine with me (and there is prolly a nice chance for some coffee and supplies to stock up on for the day too) If nobody else adds themself to this list by Wednesday, then we'll cancel the meet in Ipswich and all meet in Birchanger instead.
  6. Ah I was thinking more about using it instead of my Ipod in the car - connected to FM transmitter - IF it will do that?? I tried it for a laugh, and a FM transmiter will work on it. The connector is the same as any iPod.
  7. Yes, less strength needed to push the pedal down. As for acceleration, I don't know, because I am banned for life to drive any of Rays cars ever since..... But he did comment on that the revs climb easier and perhaps a little faster than before, which might have an increase of acceleration as a knock-on effect
  8. Anybody from Ipswich and the surrounding area, if you want to convoy together to Snetterton, I'll be at Burger King Copdock (next to the 24hrs Tescos) IP8 3TT I'll be there from 7am and plan to leave at 7:30 the latest. If you wanna convoy, then please put your name on the list. 1. BulletMagnet 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
  9. Oh yes the noise is noticable, but only when idleing and in the low gears, once you go beyond 3rd (I think) you don't really notice it. What I do know tho is that Rays clutch is alot lighter now compared to mine.
  10. shire, was that nurrish actually fitting one of his systems into your car? Glad to see he's learnt the tapedeck hack and can do it on the road too
  11. yes, but the iPhone usually comes with it's own docking station and cable included in the box
  12. Yeah, the Safari browser on the iPhone is ok, just doesn't support Flash, thus you'll won't be able to play certain online browser games...
  13. my idea would be to paint the chrome vents too....
  14. You do know that Orange are getting the iPhone, right? And vodafone too, but prolly in 2010.
  15. It does actually, lol Spirit level, ruler and some other bits all in one app
  16. But isn't yours from the inside? Oh no, that was in the livingroom...
  17. Ray (SilentKK8) and I popped over to Leicester to have some work done to our Zeds. CS and Andy were there to do the jobs in hand. First up was Ray. His was clutch basically at the end of its life, so he decided to have a Exedy Uprated clutch and a Fidanza flywheel fitted. Rays car going on the ramps first Andy then proceeded to remove the y-pipe and the prop shaft Which left us with this Then Andy and CS removed the gearbox With nothing else to do, Ray decided it was a good time for some "Gearbox Rodeo" This is the old clutch after gearbox removal Old clutch and fly removed Time to get the new clutch ready... Exedy vs OEM Cleaned up New Fidanza fly fitted first New bearing on the 'box new clutch in place New bright yellow HEL clutch cable fitted also Job done. It was amazing then picking up the Fidanza fly and then picking up the OEM fly, what a difference!!! The OEM clutch was really really worn too. Only issue we had with Rays work was on the way back, as he has mentioned in his thread. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27315 Then it was my turn As of recent, I noticed some grinding noises coming from the driverside rear. I suspected that the inner pad had worn down severely. Since I was also still running OEM pads on my front Dixcel discs, I opted to have all the pads and the rear discs replaced. These were the items of choice: DBA 4000 Series slotted rear discs and Endless SSS pads all round Replaced the front pads first. I watched Andy to one side and then did the other side myself. I was amazed how easy it was to do. Here's one I done earlier Then onto the rears. The driver side was done first and upon removal of the disc and pads, my suspicions were proven right. The inner pad had worn down to the metal and the disc was scored badly from the grinding New disc and pads fitted Everything was put back together and the handbrake was adjusted. I'm very happy with my brakes now, no more grinding and stopping power has increased. Again, I'd like to thank CS and Andy for the work done today. Great guys and highly recommended
  18. Prolly depending on braking techniques used too...
  19. only arseing about.... I'll be at BK at 8am, leaving at 8:30am. Anybody from Ipswich and area is welcome to meet me there. If this is too early, then let me know (Thinking we'd be there for 10am and so not to miss anybody or anyting)
  20. sod it then.....see you at yours Sarah the day before.....
  21. I think Rich's recent spell of swine flu has eradicated some of his memory cells, otherwise he'd remember that Ipswich people are meeting up at Burger King Copdock and convoying up there together.....
