It may be in the highly code but, hell, I domt even know some of the signs I see, most people dont properly read the highway code and ill admit im one of them. I think alot of it is down to experience. When I have a car behind me, aslong as its not a range rover right up my ass, ill pull to the side, the same as for motorbikes. Driving tests and theory only teach you how to drive a car, not be a proficient driver I.m.o. everyone on the road can drive, even billy with no liscence. But then you get people like my mum who are scared of motorways and do 50 in the fast lane. After your initial test, there should be lessons on how to drive on motorways. Theres courses out there but their not compulsory, they should be. In regards to a black box, everyone seems to think its bad idea apart from a few. I dont see whats bad about it? First 6monthsyou get a black box, its not to stop you speeding, its to make you learn the roads and become ezperienced before you do start to speed

Its not really to find out my own mods, its more if I think car is losing power or just me being a dafty. One day the cars rapid and the next im wondering if someone stole my engine

To be honest, I think the o.p. would be looking at the Siamp Diaphragm Washer For Siamp Float Valve at 2.98. Its a mid range but has 5 stars with most reviews commenting on how well it flushes compared to higher costing valves. http://www.diy.com/search/toilet%20valves/Siamp-Diaphragm-Washer-For-Siamp-Float-Valve-11477981 in addition, the o.p seems concerned about fitting costs but theyve marked fitting as "easy" and you also get a 1year warranty Edit: o.p what year is your car? If its got the dual air intakes you wont want the dual valve at 22.98 as theres not alot of room in the 313 engine bay http://www.diy.com/search/toilet%20valves/Fluidmaster-Dual-Flush-Valve-Top-Front-Or-Side-Fitted-Flush-Button-11477951

Loving the boot spoiler Is it me or is the front bumper slightly different colour than the car?

Shocking reading statistics. Not sure if theres a way to counter drugs and alcohol more than their doing right now.

I wish I could take good photos with sun etc. I just end up taking a shaky photo of my car and a carpark haha

I think theres only 3 companys that can do it. Costs around 400 I believe. I havent had any mods youve read here, but maybe look at throttle controller first if you dont have 400pound to spare. Remember to take esp off, or get some1 to drive ur car and sit as passenger then you will feel the power

Dump valve is for turbo mate so if its n/a your out of luck. What you can get is a fake one which gives a sound, but not exactly mod of the year when every car enthusiast asks you about your turbo If your looking for that tone like what the imprezas have, your not gonna get it on n/a. Possibly look at a ptb valve on the exhaust(someone correct me I know thats not right)

Sent u a pm

Yeah to get a grade 10 car you need to do a certain liscence. Since justin bieber had a lambo before he even drove. Same with fines, people saying 1k fine... if your driving a lambo whats 1k gna do. Thats 30pound to us poor people. I think in summary, theres various things that could be done to cause less traffic and faster safer driving. But involves more police, better police equipment, better road usage and more tests etc. It can work, easily, but highly doubt the government would invest in itm they would rather give 900million to pakistan to spend on ak47's and bbuythemselfs a 3rd house. Ideally, the 1 to 10 system sounds good. Almost like a bike liscence. Cbt etc to get over 125. Only issue there is u get a 350z and stick twin turbo. Whos gonna know?

Thats a goos idea, but would need to have more police on roads instead of cameras. If 2 cars are doing 50mph in inside and middle lane, gns have to overtake. Personally, I think there should be a personal numberplate for individual drivers in the uk. One a cop car can scan. So when you drive somewhere the police know who is meant to be driving that car and experience. Not a big plate, just like one for those who pass advanced driving courses. 1000 might be excessive though but yeah a nice big 500 should do the trick. Police just need proper computers in their cars so they can mark down notes on registrations so other police can view. I.e. "pulled for doing 40 in 30, warning given, 1st july 2013"

Is that stuff accurate or is there a delay? I know it wont be pinpoint, but if I do 0 to 60 in 6.1, I want it atleast 6.2 not 7.5 You had one before?

Speed cameras. The cause of most accidents supposedly. And not because people are speeding. But becausr they panic when they go round a bend. Youll find 60% of cameras dont actually work (except mobile) due to the government handing over all responsibilities to councils to cover admin and fees of running them. Most councils just chinned them off. The automatic no film ones are majority that work, along with non flash and the red light cameras. As much as I do... em... have fun on roads, I do believe speed cameras should be there, within reason. Not on a bend in the road, stupid government what were they thinking. Places like 20mph etx areas are good. As for signs on the road. Why not have a speed limit sign that is controlled. I.e. when its wet, it says "50mph be careful", or snowing "40mph black ice risk" and then if its like 4am in morning just have a little logo with <100 drive within capabilities. And if the police see a gee wiz going 100, or even 90, pull that man over, cus those things cant cope at 5mph. And more undercover police. Those guys are cool, can do 85 without them getting fussy but they actually do pull over idiots on the road

Thats my next mod. It doesnt make car add any bhp etc, but it supposedly makes the car a bit more jumpy. As if there was no inbetween for the accelerator pedal, just pure footdown power. Edit: does your car have any mods? Things like cheap intakes etc can slow the car. And where are you located?

Anyone know if your able to buy a 0 to 60 timer? Something that maybe plugs into car computer? Closest thing is having to press that button on trip computer. Would be a good way of setting a base standard to work with when looking for mods.

Anyone actually know if speed limit is going to 80/85 as their talking about in parliament? I know it got rejected a while back but got put back on the boards recently

Give it 10years and average car will get 0 to 60 in 9secs. Zeds will be 4seconds and performance 2seconds. End of the day, theres going to be a barrier they hit where the car actually cant get faster otherwise it will be te speed of light or breaking sound barriers lol. Be like.. 0 to 60 in 1.42338379 seconds

I know what you mean, but surely thats going to get them better at readinf roads being safe for 6months then boot the car buthaving some experience. Rather than doing crap test, booting the car unsafely and then do another test whixh youll pass because you have examiner there?

Different tests seems like good idea. I.e advanced driving course which the police and mmilitary do, things like how to take over correctly, regain control after a slide etx. However, cant do plate colours. If my missus ddrivesmy car, ill need to change plates every morning. But I get what you mean. Issue I have is.. police sit there on roads pulling over people doing 50 in a 40. Like, really? Not that bad an offence if the road should be a 50. They should be on motorways pulling over some of the idiots. Had to call police about 5 times on other motorists because they cant stay in their lane, probably due to them being drunk or doing some makeup.

I cant see why a tracker wouldnt be an appropriate tester to see how they drive. So the process would be; Driving theory Driving lessons Driving test Car with tracker for 6months If serious, you can lose liscence, if not Point out your flaws in driving at the end of the 6months, and retest on key points. If they pass that, the tracker is removed. People wont forget about some smelly old man sitting next to them with clipboard. But youll forget that box when your mates are like "aw theres some fit girls in that car follow them". And yeah, nobody right now will say to their mates "sorry lads im being safe" cus you domt want to be the wimp. But a tracker installed, theres your get out of jail free card.

With the child, it just works the same as buying booze. If im 18 and have i.d and with my friend who doesnt have i.d., they wont sell it. If i have a 4year old, that wont stop me buying. So yes, if your 21 or under when you get your first years insurance, there should be a limitation. Certain reasons i.e your wife is 18, if you have child together then yes thats allowed. But if your 18 year old with no child, you dont need passengers. You got along for 18years using the bus, your friends can do the same for 6months. I, like every person on here, when i got my liscence it was all about showing off your car instead of learning how to drive properly first. Retests wont fix the driving capability. If their able to pass the test they can pass it again. The thing is, all these cautious safety proned drivers are the ones crashing and causing crashes. Slowing down when theres no cars in fromt. Experienced drivers who read ahead of the road can see its clear, yet miss.daisy is slowing from 70 to 30 in a second because her sliproad is comng up in 2miles. They pay attention during the test because, its a test. As soon as they pass their sticking on their makeup in the car, texting, muckin around with mates in the car trying to drift their front wheel drive saxo thinking its a wrx because they put a ripspeed air intake in.

I think it looks awesome

Pioneer hu will just have adapter behind it. No mods to steering wheel

Pair of oakleys make you safer?
