  1. It won't make your car faster but it reduces the time it takes you to plant your foot. It's strange but you notice a massive difference between the settings. Eco mode is great in the snow as it makes it easier to apply power slowly.

     

    Great product for little money. :thumbs:

  2. Anyone got photos and info where they fixed the throttle controller to. I have tried but a big fail with sticky strips and glue dots.!!!! :bang:

     

     

    I have mine just infront to the right of the gear shift, below the air con adjustment. Just purchase some better sticky pads as the ones provided arent the best. :thumbs:

  3. Loads of info on here mate, the offsets you have stated are fine but it all depends on how far you want them to stick out.

     

    Best people to speak to are Rarerims or Envy who you can find links for on the portal, send them a pm they will have loads of info and pictures.

     

    Tyres you need to have matching makes and as long as the profiles are kept the same e.g 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. Good makes are Vredestein Sessanta, Bridgestone RE050, Michelin Pilot Sport 2.

     

    As long as these guidelines are kept your TC will be fine.

     

    Your Rays will go between £350-£500 but all depends on condition and if the demand is there.

     

    Hope this helps :thumbs:

  4. Hey mate, went to Cancun last Feb and my parents are getting back today! The place is awesome fun, loads of shops, bars and restaurants right on the sea front.

     

    I went to the Riu Cancun which is 4* and all inclusive ;) and my parents went to the Riu Palace which is 5* and right next door.

    If you look on a map where these hotels are you will find this is ideal as its not too close to the bars and clubs that you cant sleep but easily within crawling distance of Coco Bongos, Hard Rock and Senior Frogs. Its also only a 15/20 min walk to the nearest shopping centres, or only a 2 minute bus ride which run very frequently. Plus these hotels have their own private beaches.

     

    If you look at were the Hilton is you dont want to be staying too close as its right next to the sewage works and in the heat it can really stink, especially as when we went there was a water shortage. :thumbdown:

     

    If you let me know the name of the hotel your looking into i can give you a good idea of how far things are from it and what they actually looked like. :thumbs:

     

    Also if your a scuba diver i know a great club out there too.

  5. so did anyone set up a 350z clan on xbox in the end? [350z-uk] maybe ??

     

    I've not even touched it since late november :blush:

     

     

    :ban::lol:

     

    I know, i hate myself for it, i wish i could get into it, but the multiplayer levels are so crap compared to CoD4. Its all just random heights and you can be shot from 360 degrees at all times. Dont like it.

     

     

    Yea i know what your saying, on cod 4 to be a good player you just needed to know the maps and be stealthy. Getting to know the maps on MW2 is taking forever because of all the different levels like you say. Im really hating the added attachments like Heart beat sensor that make being stealthy just about impossible! And the fact you can be knifed from 10 metres away is geting on my nerves too :thumbdown:

     

    Was watching my mate on cod 4 yesterday and realised i still think its awesome even after 2 years of playing it.

  6. Wel after speaking with Ben at Rare Rims for over a month i am now the happy owner of 19" Rota GTR in GUN METAL :yahoo:

     

    Having previously ordered the silver and polished rims option i decided that powder coating would be the only way to get them in gun metal as it wasnt avilable OEM.

    After discussing the options of powder coating, which i would have been fine with had the wheels been second hand, i decided the void in warranty was a little bit much.

     

    Luckily Rare Rims got in touch with me even though the original purchase was made from another company and changed the wheels over for basically only the shipping costs!! :thumbs: They even trusted me enough to have both sets of wheels for a few days as the couriers wouldnt over lap and they wanted me to have the wheels ASAP.

     

    Cant thank Rare Rims enough for this, as i cant think of many companies who would be willing to do this for next to nothing even if my original wheels were still brand new in their box.

     

    Contact has been maintained over xmas holidays through out the process and cant praise their service highly enough.

     

    Much appreicated

  7. I saw a porsche trying to get up a slight incline today and it was hilarious, back end all over the place, in the end she gave up and parked on the side :lol: The cars arent made for snow, if your happy risking it then make sure you got the best tyres for the job and take it easy. If not get an old 4x4 :p

  8. At the end of the day your getting a car for free. :shrug: You have emails to prove you have won and if you know them personally its all to your advantage, they cant just take it away from you.

    The garage sounds like there being a pain but im guessing they would have a reason and you will only have to look as far as the magaZine IMO :thumbdown:

     

    Just sit back and chill knowing you will have a car that most people would have had to pay 10k+ for. :snack:

  9. I picked up a low mileage 2004 for that price and i was looking for a good 6 months. I was 22 when i puirchased in August, best quote was through admiral for £908 but you have to pay upfront if not its around £1200. The rest of the info your looking for is already on here, just have a search. Hope this helps :thumbs:

     

    Welcome to the forum!

  10. Cable and Wireless are technically the same company as Virgin as far as im aware. :thumbs:

     

    Ummm not exactly. c&w don't sell to domestic users, they provide data connectivity for big corporate companies. when i tell people where i work they often assume i mean virgin or ntl but we have nothing to do with the. c&w sold its tv services to ntl and stripped all its domestic services when it nearly went backrupt in 2003ish. since rebuilt as the best alternative to BT for big corporate businesses.

     

    if you have virgin in your area go with them. if they say they can give you 50Mb then you'll get 50Mb. Internet over the telephone lines always sell as upto 8Mb etc because it is heavily dependant on your distance from the exchange. They'll tell you what you will potentially get but it is still just an educated guess.

     

     

    My mistake, when I worked for talktalk they told me that cable and wireless became NTL then NTL was taken over my virgin. Talktalk isn't the best company though :lol:

  11. The responses are a bit harsh, but the thought of a dog in the zed is epically stupid.

     

    Im not going to post the picture your talking about for the simple fact its irresponsible to put a dog in the zed, and this would encourage someone to do it.

     

    Good luck with your sale though. :thumbs:

  12. What gaming concole are you using mate? They all have settings that arent compatible for some routers. For example my gf xbox works really well with the net gear router but my PS3 hated it. Ive now got a Belkin router that works really well as long as you use a single IP address. Cant really explain how to do that on here but if you do a search for google using games console and static address it should solve the problem.
