  1. I just snorted my coffee when I clicked through to that! Jay ... next time you want a photoshop on the zed send it to these guys and see what happens
  2. A big whooshy turbo Ach John - I have a turbo now - a whistling derv one
  3. I know what you mean Stuart - I'm still crying myself to sleep most nights
  4. I don't like it!! Tail pipes are hideous - do we know if they are going to make the honeycombed ones again?
  5. to the forum Paul. Happy zedding Whaddya mean 'live on the right side of the Tyne' My Mum's side of the family are all from SShields
  6. using v max unleaded and that is as far as my mechanical skills go so got no hope of checking my intake pipes !! . It's a little difficult to judge on the detail given. If it's a brief hesitation that could be because of the way the standard car is programmed to have a lazy throttle response in the first 3 gears and an uprev re-map would help that (the car doesn't use a throttle cable - you pushing the throttle simply send a signal and the ECU then tells the engine/fuelling what to do). Equally, if you have some sort of after-market air filter, which is open to the elements inside the engine bay (ie. not inside a box)you can get some heat soak which can make the car hesitate when you put your foot down (that can be particularly noticeable in hot weather). If it's a really noticeable coughing and spluttering that would need to be looked into more. Good luck. It's pretty uncomfortable trying to drive it around town in heavy traffic at slow speeds due to the sparodic coughing and spluttering . But as soon as you are going more than about 25 mph then it's smooth as you like!!! Welcome to the forum You'll find it is probably just you getting used to the high biting point they are not happy cars at slow speeds if you're adamant there is something 'wrong' find your nearest independent specialist and get them to take it for a road test
  7. and thats the most worrying thing The voices tell me that too No it was those naughty codeine fairies - they are very cheeky
  8. Yeah they do tend to get a bit over-excited when another female joins Sarah to the forum - happy zedding Vicky
  9. That's where he's going wrong, he doesn't drink I'M SORRY THAT REPLY DOES NOT COMPUTE That explains everything!
  10. GLWTS - you've priced the car well - it should shift rapidly
  11. hopefully not too many years until you can get something nice again
  12. I think you scared her away Happy Birthday girrrl if you're still lurking
  13. Durrrrh - I dunno maybe go have a wee look at the longest thread on the forum?
  14. Ooooh Sarah have fun! Which zed are you taking on?
  15. Will bet you were kicking yourself! If you can't just match the one that's been kerbed - I'd agree with the others and simply go a slight shade darker - the pic Jim has produced looks good
  16. I Have't bne out since this time last year. I used to go à couple of times à month but that is what broke the bank is a fantastic hobby if you can afford it.
  17. The one day track insurance isn't worth the paper its written on - its only for impact - i.e. if someone hits you - you're more likely to go off on your own Competition car insurance do a standard annual cover that includes up to five track days a year - most folks seem to think they're good. You did look a bit green when you got out the R35 though not as green as Neil last year You're sensible to leave the TC on for your first couple of sessions - you'd kick yourself if you ended up in the barriers - you would've only seen it kick in at Clarks and the hairpin if you were really pushing on anyway First time I took mine off I did a perfect 360 coming out of the chicane when I hit the netting on the grass (with Mr T in the car )
  18. Some pics from tonight for you Gary - sorry didn't get a chance to speak - you certainly weren't wasting any of that track time! It looked like you enjoyed yourself and Mr T at Warp factor one millionty
  19. and he met the beast that is Fergus
