  2. Nope even they're not safe. My mums worked for DWP in many guises over the years (30+ years) and they are trying to downsize her dept and doing the same with many others. Yep, a lot of councils and places are chopping things about a bit, but 30 years in a job is still very good and shows it was reasonably secure for a long time. What puzzles me about councils is that they will happily make an employee redundant, then recruit them back as a contractor for more money! Well in all fairness Nokia was right. When the iphone came out it had phone related features which were akin to a 10 year old nokia. You couldnt set your own mp3 ring tone, couldnt send MMS, didnt have 3g, the camera was something like 2mb compared to the 5mb which nokias had, no memory card, no front camera, couldnt change the battery, bluetooth would only work on some accessories etc. etc... the list was endless. The only thing the iphone had going for it was that you could link it up to the itunes store. I remember I had a nokia at the time and I just copied my mp3`s straight to its memory card and played music that way as I had converted all my music collection to mp3`s years earlier - but if you were an ipod user and had invested a lot of time & money in buying tunes in itunes it was easier to just get an iphone and just sync it all. The conversation then went on about how the future wasn't in smartphones and that Nokia would never be knocked off its perch. He said it was like a bunch of guys just gloating and laughing at other companies attempts to innovate, he was scared to even raise the point that the research he had conducted had shown a willingness by consumers at that time to try something new and take a big step forward and that they were tiring of the Nokia styling and features that had stagnated... Now all Nokia are good for from a handset perspective are cheap plastic ones in third world countries
  3. A colleague of mine (am a consumer researcher) at an old company was at a meeting years back with Nokia a day after Apple launched iPhone. They were mocking it, saying that they know nothing about telecoms etc.
  4. Guess I am only going the exhaust+hfc+uprev route and stopping there, a spacer would add a fair bit to that?
  5. Would it help if I unbolted the intake pipe and throttle body too? Actually I might just have the plenum off altogether and give it a good clean and polish whilst im at it...?
  6. Sure its not those dodgy belts you sold me Alex Only kidding, will get them checked as well.
  7. I hope it is an easy install...I am going to try it myself
  8. I thought they were dyno proven to add something with an uprev?

    Z burger badges

    +1 on spraying yourself, mine went green after a month or so, got the wet dry, primer and satin black paint out and 6 months later they were still looking spot on
  10. Changed my belts a couple of months back, got them proper tightened, but yeah the weather suddenly is colder and for a few minutes in the morning you get intermittent squealing - goes after a short time though so just assume it is damp or something.
  11. Not seen one of these around for a bit... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apexi-Radiator-Cap-Nissan-Skyline-200sx-300zx-350z-1-3Kg-cm3-/180761860420
  12. You mean this one http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=55211 Yep, thats it! I like the way you didn't even comment on that thread, just slipped under the radar with your purchase. The funny thing is he had to outbid Dave for it
  13. Powder coated orange though...
  14. Yeah the 'fuel button in the dash' situ has affected many an owner Good stuff though, many hours of driving pleasure coming your way soon
  15. ..actually, I might put it on ebay, you never know there might be some jokers on a Zed forum who would buy it
  16. ...what are my chances? As you can see if has taken pride of place next to our wedding photos...although Becks not too impressed... ...and Jim is now officially a cheeky sod for buying it for me and it being given to me in the Christmas competition as a 'Special Prize' - expect to see an appearance at the South East christmas meal
  17. Because any numpty is allowed to buy a bike and ride it on a road which has speed limits up to 50mph without knowing jack all about how to cycle, how to maintain a bike or what the laws are or hell even what light goes on the front and what one goes on the back... ...as the number of cyclists increase, there is a larger proportion of these imbeciles on the road.
  18. Carbon wrapped roof and Nismo carbon spolier with carbon seibon bonnet with vents
  19. ebay is failing me somewhat on this part!
  20. Just showed Rebecca, she is howling, absolutely howling out loud
  21. Well may have just sorted the exhaust problem
  22. ...okay, Im not a chav and I am not buying those back lights. I do though want to upgrade a few bits of the car, namely an exhaust, berks HFC, plenum spacer and uprev. I just cannot decide on an exhaust at the moment and I thought about just getting the rest done and figuring out the exhaust next year sometime. Has anyone slung on Berks onto a stock exhaust yet? Sound? Performance? With the uprev and spacer? I know is the arse-about way of doing it but it seems like a good start...views?
