  1. Nice upgrades, car looks spot on
  2. Does it rev match? Alternator whine through the stereo?
  3. Stutopia

    GT-Four

    That's @*!#, unlucky mate. WTF is wrong with people?
  4. I'd say it's probably your only shot given the damage, so you may as well give it a go, but obviously be careful soldering as you don't want to upset anything nearby.
  5. Mate, I'm just letting you know what I saw the locals do in a country that is probably even keener on EVs than you are, and they don't bother in the countryside, make of that what you will I have literally never driven anywhere else where the road just stops, with no warning, and turns into a 10 foot wall of snow and you have a 5 hr detour.
  6. Before you set off for Norway, on my recent road trip I couldn't move for EVs around the cities, but they dried up pretty quick after Bergen and further north. In one place up North on the border between Norway/Sweden, I asked a local (at a petrol station ironically) for the nearest cash point, it was nearly a 4 hour round trip. I bet they have more cash points than superchargers
  7. I meant more for any big jobs you might need, not just modding fun. If I see any Mugen goodies lying around I'll just keep it to myself
  8. The drag must be insane
  9. Just trying to be helpful mate They come from all over to see him, last time I was there a guy had come up from Norwich and one from Northern Ireland, if you ever need a specialist - http://www.grinspeed.co.uk
  10. My tech is a Honda specialist and he's just expanded into carrying more uprated goodies...
  11. You don't use software to do it "properly"? How do you move the ones and zeros?
  12. I love these pieces. "Shock as password protected, remotely wipeable device is not secure, unlike traditional wallet cash card combo" the other day was it, "driverless cars hacked in shocker", as if car jacking or people simply driving into stuff as per Glasgow bin men isn't already a thing
  13. There's a couple of ways. A quick google will reveal any amount of recovery software you can download (take usual precautions downloading off the web), install and attempt recovery, which you may want to try first. That said, given how important your proposal photos will be to you, if that doesn't work, I'd be tempted to do another google for Data Recovery Specialist and then get them to do it for you, assuming you don't mind them seeing what's on there. http://www.alphr.com/blogs/2013/10/16/how-to-recover-photos-from-a-corrupted-memory-card
  14. Trip wires hooked up to paint bombs? At least they'll be easy to spot
  15. Yeah, they always bump the prices for these things. Helpfully my mum's got a place out there with a gite on the side, so it won't put a big dent in funds. Though, if I get my way, as we've got a week between games, I'll be pushing for a trip through Monaco down to Modena for the super car factories which might change that
  16. I'm a Barclays man too, so I just set it up with my Amex instead. Again I really cannot see the advantage of using your watch over your phone, it might save a second, or two. My life is really not so busy I cant get my phone out. Or the advantage over a contactless credit/debit/Oyster card for that matter. Especially in the example of the London Underground... I just don't "get" it either. I used apple pay on the tube last weekend, it was amazeballz. BUT I'm not a London regular, so it only saved me queuing behind 300 chinese students at the ticket machine. This scenario is obviously a very limited use case However, the oyster thing is on the right, and I wear my watch on the left, so I just used my phone and thumbprint to applepay. It worked quickly and felt futuristic. If I was a London regular I wouldn't bother with an oyster card now, the phone was dead easy to use and one less thing in my wallet and never needs topping up. However, using it on my left handed watch would be a minor exercise in contortion You can just use your contactless debit card too - I go into london all the time and just use that - no extra or less hassle than using a phone. Contactless is good, but I do find it easier to get my phone out than a contactless card as they're in my wallet, also my Amex isn't contactless and I use it the most because it has the best benefits. Obviously that's not the same for everyone though. I wouldn't suggest for a minute that it's best for everyone, but it's a very quick and easy way for me to pay. Given the absence of security on contactless cards, I would now prefer none of mine to be contactless and simply use my phone which requires my fingerprint.
  17. Any quicker and it's more or less teleportation
  18. I had to do some filing to make mine fit too. They've not come loose in 2 and a bit years

  20. I already knew what did, but now I have metrics!
  21. Thanks Stu. I'd always fancied an FN2 at some point and now is the perfect time. Won't be doing much to it really more just enjoying it as is, tidying up any bits that set my OCD off and maintaining it. You have to appreciate different cars for their different attributes. Sure I miss the Zed and especially it's power but the Civics not all bad & essentially does the same thing which is get me around. Not tempted by a Teg?
  22. LM happens all the time, the Euros are special!
  23. I find the Mugen Type Rs to be rather saucy. Glag you're not too disappointed after your cracking Z.
