  1. I would love to have a driveway, but then would be living miles out of London which makes commuting much worse - my time is more important than a driveway, and to be honest where I live is absolutely perfect with a great network and wouldn't want to swap that for the sake of a driveway!
  2. Wonderful if you can charge the cars on your driveway but what if they are parked down the road because you dont have the luxury. Remove the home charging element and they are not as convenient - so stand by my previous comment, to say that they are just as convenient is simply not true and exactly what the guy in the video pointed out that not having done the home charge first found himself making extra stops. How would the motorway hike have been if started with 30 miles in the batteries. Driveway charging is essential otherwise it adds potentially hours to a trip depending on its length - what if you drive 500 miles a week on a commute, you will also need to go off and stop at a charge point for an hour and just sit around. I guess it depends what your personal circumstances are - if you have a big driveway fine, if you dont, its inconvenient, by quite some margin.
  3. Just a completely left field idea, but the fans are spinning in the right direction? Without looking it up and from memory if they are disconnected and the wires put back on the wrong way around they spin the wrong way. Disclaimer I could be making this up but sure I read it on here somewhere!
  4. Yes do get the colour lined up properly. Not for me either, seems a bit flat? Whatever that means! But as martin said, its your car as long as you are happy dont worry about getting a high 'like' count for it!
  5. Im sure an EV if you have a driveway to charge up on each evening and do little around town stuff is perfect. People that say they tour the country in it and use it all the time and there is no difference to petrol cars in terms of convenience are just making stuff up to justify the car in my humble opinion. I am not going to waste money now on an EV which I cant charge at home and have insufficient infrastructure for to charge it anyway so will stick to the ICE until they become practical.
  6. Thats no mean feat, wrapping is definitely an art, well done! Be interesting to see how long they hold up.
  7. Must admit was looking forwards to seeing what they looked like on. Whiteline are popular for ARBs on the Celica community and a must have for the GT4s. Never realised they did springs though.
  8. Although appreciate you have already bought something else and booked in fitting!
  9. I think you need to ignore the measurements and look at photos of the cars on the actual springs, Teins are widely regarded as a great drop and ride.
  10. Grabbed a random pic off the internet of a 350z lowered on Tein S Tech springs on 19 inch wheels, looks perfect drop in my humble opinion
  11. You could get tugged for doing 15mph in a 30 zone
  12. Saw you reversing tentatively into a parking space just off the high street - did rumble by in the the VX but you looked very focused on not kerbing it!
  13. I dont remember seeing anyone mention whiteline, plenty of good reviews for teins on here though. I would google 350z whiteline springs and read what comes up
  14. Feedback is collated for them here
  15. I never really got hostility but certainly if you think boy racers wanting to race you in a 350z is bad you haven't even lived! My white R33 Skyline with bodykit attracted them like maggots to a carcass! Funny enough my Celica GT4 didnt at all. The VX220 gets no bother as everyone thinks its a Ferrari
  16. Any reason you are interested in them? Tried and tested routes are Tein and Eibach for a bigger drop.
  17. Never had any problems when owning my zed, or my R33, VX220 etc. all been fine. Maybe move to a nicer area
  18. Tarmac Sportz are in Derby and a trader on here (look in the pro trader section) about an hour from you by the looks of things @Tarmac@TarmacSportz @buster
  19. Terrible really, the residents literally had minutes to grab what they could and leave and not allowed back. I can imagine their property prices are dirt cheap, which was the incentive to buy houses there.
  20. Cheers Chris, enjoyed losing my Zed Shed II BBQ cherry. And @buster ...Arrack?
  21. It was all part of the game plan...82 points on the last weekend of the season
  22. Humpertron! Looking forwards to getting a full service done on the VX whilst I am there too!
  23. Remember thats peak BHP which is a relatively useless measure. What you are aiming for is area under the curve increases across the range as a better measure of power increase, as well as removal of flat spots and a smoother drive.
  24. I do have a team set up in another league - is it the same league code?
