    A rocky road you are on there my friend - I went wrap crazy this week, a little sneak preview... ...and I didnt stop there!
  2. ...it was more that they scoffed that new lines would improve breaking which I found concerning.
  3. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-350z-veilside-spoiler-rear-wing-n-03-08-/230815353717
  4. You still got that aerial to sort out
  5. Mechanics that dont understand what braided brake lines do...be afraid
  6. aaaah, yeah my HKS came with the clips. Simple job of attaching them then jobs a good 'un.
  7. ...just a note on the subject, generally, its people that are ditch finders, not tyres
  8. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=46884 and some pictures on this post http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=57512&hilit=brake+lines&start=15 and a post I started up when putting on my HKS lines (same as HEL)
  9. Loads of people on here have fitted HKS and HEL brake lines no problem. The garage needs to use the clips that came with the brake lines to secure them to the inside of the wheel brackets out the way of the wheels. Also, the OEM lines have screw in both ends, the HEL have a screw in one end and a loop and bolt the other end which attaches to the caliper. They will need to sand down the caliper area to make sure it is flat and flush against the bolt (you might have some corrosion there) so there is no leakage.
  10. ...I dont generally look on the Zeds for Sale section - and too lazy to go trawling through it now - but how many cars for sale generally are sold stock vs lots of upgrades? Do people generally buy them stripped back to stock or are they selling up with upgrades on when selling privately?
  11. Hey mate, hope things are well I would ask yourself the question, if someone hadn't approached you would you have considered Sales as a career route yourself? Have you been thinking about it? Is it something you have thought of in the past as something you reckon you would be good at? Might help you understand if you really want to do it or not. Its all good though, as someone said previously effectively being head hunted for a job role is great for your confidence and shows you are doing well in your current job. Clearly though, even if you didnt know it, you have wanted a move out and this has awakened that thought. Have you looked at all types of work around the company? Having great customer relationship skills isn't something which is only applicable to sales...
  12. Z badges on ebay Quick word of advice though, even though they arrive black, they will quickly discolour, so grab yourself a can of primer and black paint and do them again before you put them on to save the hassle of taking them off and doing it in 3 months time.
  13. I carbon vinyl wrapped the front grille on a previous car and within a day a stone ripped a 5mm hole right through it so had to have it patched up. Problem was that it was a chrome grille so stuck out a mile.
  14. ..I would think you would have to clear vinyl wrap the front though - the amount of holes that would tear through the vinyl on the front...
  15. ...I cant believe this thread has made 5 pages
  16. I think there is an element of intelligence when a manager can properly identify his players strengths and weaknesses and play to those strengths to succeed.
  17. I got HKS from Alex, Goodridge I have seen, have screw in options at each end of the line whereas the HKS ones I had to smooth off the caliper and rely on a bolt and loop to attach. Personally would have felt better with the screw in type but wasnt going to fork out nigh on £200.
  18. Not sure Ox, Walcott and Young are in the best attacking talent pool to be honest. When you look at Ibrahimovic, Ribery, most the German side, most Spainish side, oh god the list goes on - I would have all them in front of Ox, Walcott and Young.
  19. + 1 It's not like it takes long either, the comentators generally manage to watch the replays, argue and decided in a matter of moments! And as with the other sports it adds a bit of tension/excitement whilst staring at the big sreen waiting for the verdict!! Pull your finger out FIFA Blatter announces that ball line technology will be introduced now for sure - obviously when it happened to England two years ago he couldnt give two hoots. But now its happened to a nation that paid him lots of money to choose them as the host nation things must change... ...oh, did I just say something slanderous there?
  20. Small players can hold the ball up just as well as big players - the amount of times I watch Carlton Cole have a ball up to him, he shoves the defender out the way and ball bounces off him is ridiculous. Rooney for instance isn't a big player but is excellent at holding the ball up. Defoe, cannot hold the ball up not because of height but because he isn't strong enough and its not in his make up to do that. He feeds on scraps, runs at centre backs and in the channels. Sorry Dave but Johnson is not a frustrated winger and never was, if you look at his history he grew up playing centre back as he was quite tall for his age when he was younger. But he was very much in the mould or Rio which Tony Carr was pushing on the centre backs at that time. Which is why Johnson is actually pretty good on the ball. When he went to Chelsea he was forced to play right back, which if you ask any central defender isn't easy as it involves a whole new method of playing (ie not facing up attackers) which is why it took so long for him to get into the groove for that position. Parker can pass, and in fact I would argue is probably the most technically accomplished player in the team very rarely wasting possession only playing the hollywood pass when it really is on. Lescott would be an utter joke at right back, sorry captain, thats a shocking call. If you don't like Johnson then play Kelly who would be a better bet than a 6'3'' guy trying to adjust 20 years of his game playing down the middle where 50% of his touches are clearing headers. A midfield of 5 with Walcott, Ox, Young, Gerrard and Parker. I reckon on the latter two could do that - the others couldnt cope with the confined spaces and quick thinking and passing required.
  21. Yes plenty of ads with the wrong spec on them - also watch out for ads where the owners add an air intake which takes their Zed up to 330bhp or something...because quite frankly, thats boll0xs For that money it will be a 276bhp (if you go for a model with reasonable mileage) so the things you are looking for as bonuses are Rays alloys GT spec (so leather seats, BOSE, cruise) Also check the exhausts, seen quite a few new owners buy cars with great aftermarket exhausts as the older cars do tend to have exhaust failure by now
  22. a big +1 10mph per gear, why have a car that revs to 6500rpm and never use 80% of it
  23. 7000 post of aggression therapy!
