  1. If I were going for high mileage sports car id be checking the most common faults and see how they have been fixed. Most recognisable if the service checks, then id look at thinfs like exhaust. If the exhaust is just a tin of beans cellotaped onto the exhaust to stop it blowing, then you know the rest of the car is like that.
  2. So after nearly 6 years in the infantry, I need to get out and do a job change. Sick of the ideology in the military and the mess about with family life, when you cant get time off when family member is dying (happened to best mate not me). So, I now need some new ideas. Currently on 1,4k a month after tax, so im looking to make roughly 2k-2,5k after tax. I know its a big hope, but since I am used to being deployed on operations for 7months at a time and not seeing family in scotland for 3months at a time when in the UK, im not too fussed about socially friendly job. I was looking at a job in the same category as mine, in the way that we do tours. So oil rigs were going through my mind as a possible job. Ive got 4 a levels, 10 gcse's and nvq. No degree and dont really want to go to university as I do enjoy working and learning in my own time. Im very hands on, couldnt do a 9-5 sitting at a desk clicking a keyboard. Understandably this is where the money is, but its just not for me. I dont mind it being part of the job, but I want to be outside the office. Happy to work 8-12hours a day aslong as I get the pay to accept it. Any ideas? Anyone here earning 2,5k doing similar jobs such as close protection/cpa, oil rig etc. Need some more ideas and some personal experiance. As ive found with my job, what the recruitment office tell you, isnt what the job is.
  3. I think alot if it is down to age. If your a young man, sexual ideas and hormones are high. You can be friends with an ugly girl, putting it bluntly, but you eont show any intrest when you have a good looking female friend that has your intrest. As soon as you get along with a girl whos good looking, ur hormones kick in. They say males lose sex drive and by 45 you arent that fussed about your blacklisf of numbers. Females have a higher sex drive when 40 or more. I have female friends, but even with a girlfriend you do need to still restrain yourself from being stupid. I have other unattractive girl mates who I do speak to and have no intentions of sleeping with or flirtimg, but they try flirting with me. I think its all about having categories. By this I mean.. if im an 8 out of 10. If im talking to a hirl 9 or 10 out of 10, u dnt want to let go an opportunity to "tap that where as if im friends with a girl 4 out of 10, theres no attraction. However, if she thinks shes a 4 and im an 8, she wont want to miss an opportunity. With age comes sensibility, im still 24 so lack the maturity which I can admit
  4. Best thing to do is go to 350z meet somewhere, and listen to each individual noise. It may differ if they have decata or high flows though. Same as if they have turbo or supercharged, chances are its out ur budget and will sound different. Descent exhaust is probs 4-600? But second hand probably pick up one for 300 to 400 that isnt terrible quality
  5. I never used to rate halfords sets, but I got advanced toolset and their awesome
  6. I just like something different, and swapping means bank balance isn't destroyed
  7. Hey guya, looking to trade my invidia gemini true dual for the ark true dual exhaust. If anyones intrested let me know and can discuss a deal
  8. Worst thing about a coupe is the oem bumper. Worst thing about roadster is it looks like mg with roof down
  9. Jeez seems alot of people losing alot of money. Any ideas on a better way for fun with possible money gain. Looked into bookies but no1 ever made money from going to bookies, some people just got lucky and won 300quid
  10. That's why im looking to have 50pound and no more, If I lose 50pound I couldn't care. but if I put a months wages on it, id end up struggling trying to get it back. ill have a look
  11. I don't get all the technical words etc, that's why I just wanna play around with some low notes. Did you do yours online?
  12. same as what im looking for, but don't want to buy a random brand from ebay. Any alternatives to the Eibach that don't have the heavy price tag?
  13. Hey guys, looking at investing little amounts into stock exchange, more of just a hobby than anything else. So it will be <£50, obviously not a lot to play with but im intrigued into how it works and is like a game (in a way) and £50 isn't going to affect me financially if I lost out. Question is, ive been watching videos online how it all works etc, but each time I look into going online, the questionnaire always states that I don't have enough experience to do it online. For the sake of a few quid, should I just lie and give it a go? Be nice to get involved in it just so I can actually see how everything operates and gives an idea of why prices change everyday (i.e. fuel, currency etc) Anyone here do these sort of markets?
  14. I think it was like 86pound and 4 pound fittint. Only reason I bought from halfords is because the car broke down outside it while I was buying cleaning stuff
  15. Ill go have a look tonight but I dont think my setup looks like that. Thanks for pics
  16. Ill take photo of mine tonight, might be easier to point out whats wrong. Left tip is melting exhaust area of bumper and the blue tip has came off :/
  17. Ill have a look tonight at mine if its different ill setup like yours and see if it straightens the tips. Thanks
  18. Hey ggus, anyone with invidia gemini exhaust have any photos of underneath the car. My exhaust tip on left touches bumper, on the right theres gap. Sk im prrsumimg the mid pipes are the wrong way around?? But in searches im not sure if its US or UK setup (not sure if it would be different)
  19. I just went for halfrauds phillips battery. Got them to fit it for like 3pound. Took the guy abiut an hour
  20. Mines aint bad, its just I can see the imperfections. If you get like an inch away, u can see the dirt on vinyl that hasnt come on with shampoo. But from normal distance its shiny and clean. I just want it even shinier
  21. If its the price they have to sell. However, halfords havnt taken any card details so they could just refuse
  22. Presuming their normal size wheels for a 350z? 18 inch oem. Ive out thread in money advice forum to ask how much power we have to argue with 16inch....
  23. Booked girlfriends mazda 2 and my 350z in for full set
