  1. Ahem. That's my line, bro. I'm pretty sure you have to pay me to use that line.
  2. And perhaps, just perhaps it is the case because unlike USA they're not in the line of fire as much and therefore cant react as well under the same pressure? Maybe. I don't mean to say the po po are malicious but training means diddly squat if you under extreme pressure, flooded with adrenaline and the assume someone has a gun or is a terrorist. Making a mistake normally means you might pepper spray them of tackle them. Make a mistake with a gun well someone going to die.
  3. Square cam profile is very interesting. obviously you can't have a square cam but it opens quick stays open and closes quick.
  4. +1. I trust the the police but the ones with guns are pretty unreliable. They make excuses or change the truth so they don't get in trouble. A guy shot a guy because he was trigger happy. You think he would say yeah Im a straight up cold blooded killer. No. He will change the story and some people will beleive it.

    Invidia vs Milltek

    but if you wanted the militek louder you could decat, not ideal but an option. True duels are cool though.

    It's harder to make an exhaust quieter than louder IMO. Is there anyone near you with either?
  7. D911 are very competitive, for most parts. Compare them with Porscheparts if you like. I've bought from both, as well as direct from OPCs and local indies. I don't believe I ever said they were the cheapest, it was more to use as a guide. If you would like to be helpful enough to share a source that's as comprehensive and easy to browse as the D911 website, then that would be great: I'm sure a chump with too much money like myself would find it a valuable resource. Maybe I was overstating that there are no carry over parts from the earlier cars to the 996, but any parts there are are inconsequential and I've yet to come across any. However, if you'd like to produce a concise list of the interchangeable parts then feel free to share them. Bearing in mind that the 993 was essentially the same car as the original produced 50 years ago, the 996 is the same as the 997, and the 991 is only the third true 'new' 911 ever made. Look that up if you like. Also, try reading my posts correctly next time: RMS is a couple of hundred quid, as that's the Rear Main Seal between block and 'box. The IMS is the InterMediate Shaft, which connects the two halves of the engine together and it's the bearing on this that fails. That's what costs mega bucks if it does. You can change it to the later ones if you wish, but there's still no guarantee it will not fail due to the design. This is why Porsche engineered it out of the 9A1 engines, and why a gen2 is a safe bet long term. Thats the thing. Design911 can charge that since its website is slick and easy to use. Pelicanparts from the US is great, porsch-apart, mr auto I think?, Fraiserpart and for brake discs, pads etc ECP's rule. But they aren't as easy to use as d911. You have got more money than me I'm the first to admit it hence why I use cheaper places that are harder to use. I have no shame in that. Got a few others if you want? Also marzman get the ones with the aero kit. They looks cool.
  8. exactly its a weird predator prey situation with no winner really. They are just sad loser really.
  9. I've long thought cams are very old tech and something should replace them but I never knew what lol.
  10. That's the thing. A little slagging here and there is funny. Those guys are just jobsworths you can tell. Also it should be that they have to take out the persons number plate too. I actually wish he had the crap kicked out of him to show that if your billy big balls on the net and insult other people in that way you got to pay for it.
  11. I actually agree with the focus owner. I actually agree with you. You agree with me all the time. It's ok, don't fight it.
  12. Alright calm down. Ok but its much much much reduced though? It only affected 5-8% of cars and yes spending £1500 might stop it happening might not but most likely will. It's like buying a 350z that has had 2 owners one had it for 7 years and ran it on 95ron and the other for 1 year and ran it on 98ron. You don't know that the damage has been done. It's a risk either way. I'll change my post since you got all rag on me True but IMS failure can POTENTIALLY BE REDUCED for Under £1500. Which isn't cheap but once done you have a pretty solid car and it will be easier to sell than other boxsters. AS THE UPGRADE IS DESIRABLE. That better?
  13. I actually agree with the focus owner.
  14. She was seeing 23mpg out of it, and that's on long motorway commutes. I managed to eke 27mpg out of it on the way back from Spa last year, but that was a struggle! IMS failure is possible on every Boxster in your price range. Any 986 and 987.1 car has this estimated 5% risk of IMS and engine failure. If you have a slush fund of about £7K then they're a bargain, but if not it's a big risk. True but IMS can be fixed for Under £1500. Which isn't cheap but once done you have a pretty solid car and it will be easier to sell than other boxsters.
  15. It's very very nice. But 14k nice? I dunno.
  16. That's the thing. It started off good but typically that are like look that skyline with a 4" exhaust what a chav. As they drive their fiesta filled with eBay specials lol. Plus each to their own too.
  17. I hope the guys who have been here ages will know what I'm on about
  18. Boo! Was expect some Russians!
  19. What was up with theminel. He posted on here and the other one and remember that one some guy joined here and then made his own one he was the only poster on there. Why does he hate you guys and vice versa?
  20. Some people where selling iphone 5's for £400 etc and then only sending a box as the phone wasn't in the description.,
  21. The 350z is. Thats the cost. Just sell it I wouldn't bother with spending more on it.

    Why is it

    Audi drivers here need shot. They don't use their indicators here and take two lanes on roundabouts! On a big roundabout if people don't indicate it slows everyone down.
  23. I also find that watches mean nothing. They rarely bid. Also you can't leave negative feedback as a seller now. So stupid.
