  1. Ok, not quite sure how that's relevant Andy... Anyway, back on topic, SMD definitely did something with his wood or got someone else to do it for him.
  2. Nice numbers, but what's next to make the most of the built engine and gearbox? I think we can all assume that whatever happened or is happening with Abbey is still not resolved, hence H-Dev... Anyway, looking forward to more build and hopefully seeing it in the metal!
  3. Nice Ian! If you don't need these until after the engine swap, then I don't mind looking after them for a while? Anyone wanting to know what they might look like fitted:
  4. For a full colour change respray, I reckon it'd be about £3-4k unless you know someone who does that kind of work?
  5. What kind of egotistical narcissist would want an action figure of themselves? Now where are they selling them again?
  6. This whole thread literally makes me want to cry. It seems as though a decent guy has been totally screwed over with no possible recourse. The only option being, spend around 50% of what he paid for the car in order to get it fixed.
  7. It's stories like this that remind you that you have to be so careful when parting with your hard earned cash. Feel bad for the OP, but this looks like it's going the be a costly lesson!
  8. Kind of like a model with Ebola... Looks great... About to die...
  9. So glad Lewis won. I'd been dreading a double points travesty all season, but the right result in the end.
  10. I've not heard of a conversion. I'm not sure the Zed engine would take to it long term... Besides, if fuel cost is an issue, then you probably have the wrong car? You could get a cheap run-around for the price of a decent conversion.
  11. Americans seem to think that this is the epitome of driving and automotive excellence. The 350z Facebook page is full of videos like this... along with endless retarded threads about mustangs and civics...
  12. Only messing mate, I have friends in Earls Barton and my GF went to Uni in Northampton.
  13. No way, I was watching a slow mo of the Red Bull during qualifying and was thinking that the wing was flexing quite a lot! I'm sure there was rumour they were doing this a few seasons ago! To be fair all the teams will be pushing the rules to the absolute limit. In the old days they were even worse, like rolling weights into the exhaust to make scrutineering.
  14. That's what I thought. Are you anywhere near Corby? Is Northants near Corby? I see you've fully read the OP with the questions you've asked!
  15. Yeah, they're both almost the same power (As claimed by the YouTube info), but the GTR must weigh a couple of hundred kgs more with the extra passenger.
  16. Bargain for someone! These are £80 new in the UK.
  17. Any decent exhaust place should be able to do that. Where are you based as I'm sure someone can recommend a place near you?
  18. Duck tape as a temp fix to stop any water ? I don't know if that would damage the fabric though, but would give some breathing space whilst you found somewhere to repair it.
  19. PM Spatt. We had a meet a few months ago and one of the guys rocked up in a mini cooper. I'm sure he was one of Spatt's mates and he works at a Mini specialist. He might know where to source such things?
  20. Just an option available. The cobra setup would also be good.
  21. Are these de cats? Yes, which is why you need the xyz y pipe with the cat in it. Those are the ones I mentioned in my post. Great setup if you have the cash and those 2nd hand would make it about the same price as the cobra kit.

    Charlotte Mears, but no one cares about that either... Edit: I only know because I was there with Tinchy Stryder and the rest of the crew. Massive!
  23. Expensive, but you could go motordyne art pipes and xyz. The cat is in tne y pipe then and the art pipes will minimise rasp and hiss whilst still being able tompass an MOT. Probably around £200-300 more than the cobra setup, buy would sound awesome!
  24. I know what you're saying but you wouldn't buy any M car thinking it was going to be cheap to run.
  25. Awesome, absolutely love it! It's not too showy either... right, off to check Auto trader then.
