    accelera tyres

    Neither Camskill nor Blackcircles have either T1rs or VUS 245/45/18s in at the moment - Blackcircles won't/can't even give a lead time on the Toyos and were trying to assure me I could put the Uniroyals on the rear instead because the tread pattern's the same...when I asked them if the compound was the same there was stunned silence on the end of the line
  2. Yeah Dave listen to the voice of experience!
  3. I've gone 2...just to be different Rich maybe worth changing title of thread to indicate how many opinions you need - I take it your student has a minimum sample size in mind for this if he wants to be able to claim any validity to his findings...or is he asking other forums too?
  4. Welcome to the forum Barnaby NJOY Just pay that service history some attention - it has missed at least one service - at 58k it should've had five services and the advert is claiming service interval is 18k miles - which is misleading - service interval is 9k
  5. That's why they need blended I had my rear bumper done last year by very reputable bodyshop - they removed it and didn't blend - still not completely happy with the match- they blamed 'plastics'. Had front bumper done this year by another bodyshop - they blended onto wings and (I found out tonight ) spent a long time colour matching -simply mixing B17 did not work - it is now as near as dammit perfect match

    Toyo Proxes T1rs Good luck mate - I've been searching for them UK wide Edit: having seen Ekona's comment I'd add I rate the T1rs as good all rounder that don't break the bank - I've just got 15k miles and six track days out of them - granted they are now completely gubbed but coming from the RE040s huge difference in road noise and grip. I certainly don't think the Falkens would've lasted like that! Haven't yet been able to track down any VUS yet- they seem as rare as the T1rs at present Must admit if could afford it would love to try the MPS2s.

    don't get Rich started on the Vredesteins
  8. Having been there with my Azure its a hard colour to match- especially on the bumpers. Hope it goes well for you
  9. WTF is the purpose of that site?!! Is it realy just girlies stuck in their cars ? ROFL if that sort of thing gets you lads going then why not just watch Penelope Pitstop? "oooooo Hey-yelp" Who said chivalry was dead ? now I know where I go wrong - I don't act helpless enough!!
  10. That's a very good price actually - I'd be asking questions about the process they're going to use and getting 'testimonials' from friends before I went ahead at that price
  11. My only real experience of road rage was when I did that to an Audi TT a few years back on the A9 - he'd basically been in my boot for about 5 miles and I had nowhere to go as we were stuck in a line of traffic When he finally got past me he stayed alongside me for a good few seconds gesticulating until another car came the other way and he had to get in - was a bit

    nissan juke

    I've always thought its cute - ever since they unveiled the concept - its quirky in the same way as the Figaro
  13. Most of the active Scots members have met Athol by now - so am sure you'll want to wish him many happy returns HAPPY BIRTHDAY gorg - have a good one!!
  14. Have a good one Matt Hopefully you'll have some good news about your insurance settlement as a nice BDay present
  15. 276 version is currently in special band K which is £245. Not sure for how long though. How do you tell the difference between a M and K band car? Thanks for all the messages so far. Wish I could be making a purchase sooner! Is the flappy paddle gear box good on the Zed? Welcome to the forum Happy shopping Keep doing your research - I have yet to see a 350 with a flappy paddle gearbox

    Squeaky brakes??

    News to me ...surely correctly applied copper slip is a must when fitting new pads?
  17. Four hour open pit Hot Marques at Knockhill this Sunday 11am-3pm http://trackdays.knockhill.com/trackday.php - still places available
  18. Before Milltek I averaged 26mpg on daily driving and since it was fitted its usually 25mpg - does it really matter when you're driving around with a HUGE all the time
