  1. Bargain at £52 and twelvety pence!
  2. It's crazy/ To think my first laptop only had a 9.5" screen It did kill all the aliens in Independence Day though
  3. First one of their products for a while I've not been tempted by, but yet to see one in the flesh, they look huge! Done a MBP recently, so must try and be sensible to some degree
  4. Cracking looking Zed, my DE wasn't much cheaper than this a couple of years ago. GLWTS.
  5. Wooohooo new buttons! I'm going to press them all This place is amazing, great to have the chance to chip in, thanks Team
  6. If it's Nismo it shouldn't cause you any pain. I think you'd be bonkers to get her opened up and pay all that labour and not do it at the same time
  7. Got all my clutch and flywheel goodies from Ewen @ Clarks. Well worth a PM.
  8. Does Matt have to be so surprised that a nicely modified Zed can be a great balance of fun, grunt, grip, balance and daily drive-ability? Cool vid. I wish that drive was my commute
  9. I don't think it falls under political correctness gone mad but it is certainly nanny state gone mad. The increase in frequency of creating legislation has gone berserk in the last 30 years. Particularly the knee jerk stuff. A plane is flown into a moutain by a madman, new regulations are rushed out. Obesity is on the rise, new labelling and rules on advertising are dished out. Vaping expands exponentially, restrictions are dreamed up. To name a few of the most recent hot topics. It's not one particular party or another, it's a change in culture; partly IMO due to the explosion in instant, always on access to media and the associated opinions and also an abdication of responsiblity away from the person. "I did X, it was wrong, I knew it, but it was because of Y. I am a victim too, Where's my compo from Q?" Event A happens, initial outrage/concern, person/people group B are found to be responsbile, people in charge of regulating environment where Event A occurred are under enourmous pressure to react and/or legislate or be labelled "soft on A". The excitement around legal highs is a classic contemporary example, no one can just say no to them and be responsilbe for thier own decisions, it needs a law to be made for each new one that appears, or the government is "soft on drugs". Next time there's an election, watch out for the dramatic increase in "public service/awareness advertising", reminding people how good a job the government is doing. Between Q4 2014 and Q1 2015, advertising spending by some departments rocketed from £2m pcm to £10m pcm. That's not a dig at the Tory/Lib Dem coalition, because this is a cross-party issue and something that's sadly here to stay.
  10. Cool. You'll be able to mill regular donuts into the weird ring ones!
  11. Proppa sick DA skillz! Do you own a car boat? (See bottom pic reflection)
  12. Great to see another mega update To think of the time I could save you though... Smells like ripe plums, fresh from the branch in a Japanese orchard. Cleans like a mutha.
  13. Hope it wasn't this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A3S1RGU/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_1#productDetails I buffed my lights to near perfection and hoped it would do the trick, but they've started to go again Going for an expensive gtechniq effort next. Yeah it is, ok....my lights aren't that bad, hopefully it might work!? I'd suggest doing at least a couple of coats, with a suitable curing time in between - good luck
  14. Edit: checked my reciepts can't have been the marine one I went for in the end Hope it wasn't this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A3S1RGU/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_1#productDetails I buffed my lights to near perfection and hoped it would do the trick, but they've started to go again Going for an expensive gtechniq effort next.
  15. It does say to put it in the petrol tank not the intake, or have I been drastically misusing it "Hi I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such fuel additives as, "Turbo Jizz, 50bhp in just one squirt" and my self help programme, "Get confident stupid!". It is so easy to use, just pour 1 bottle into your fuel tank before filling up with petrol. 1 bottle will treat 40 - 60 litres of petrol. Recommended dosage is one bottle every 2000 miles to keep your fuel system at its best. A week before your MOT, use a bottle of Catalytic Converter Cleaner to help your car pass the emissions test."
  16. Not this one? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRANVILLE-1428A-10K-BOOST-CATALYTIC-CONVERTER-CLEANER-BRAND-NEW-FAST-DISPATCH-/350520953777
  17. Isn't 10k Boost the forum "approved" cleaner of choice?
  18. If you can't afford to buy a new one, get insurance!
  19. I think the obvious answer is it's easier to hide in a big organisation than a little one. If an Indy owner is more likely to have eyes on his business then there's no place for a slacker to hide, whether that slacker has loads/no experience. I don't think anyone is carpet stating literally everyone at a stealer is rubbs, there's a few good comments on here about dealers, just on balance Indy's seem to have the right spirit and can't be complacent that the middle class mafia will keep coming back time after time after time just simply because it's a main dealer - regardless of price and customer service. The other element in my mind is that your average Nissan dealer (non performance place) probably sees one 350/370/GTR for every 500 micras, so they just don't enough trigger time on the big muscle.
  20. along. Nice pics and fastest colour too
