I know we've been down this path before http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87482-pictures-not-moving-across/ but are you just trying to add a photo into the body of your text - As per GIXXERUK above.? Or is there some other scheme afoot? If that's all it is, all you need to do is paste the copied link (make sure you have all the text selected) from the IMG field it into the space you want the photo to appear in your text. Like This

Thanks both. I prefer the CF too GMB

Stagnant smell from aircon for a few seconds

Drop an air con bomb in there and run off http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIR-CON-BOMB-AIR-CONDITIONING-CLEANER-200ml-ONE-SHOT-SGAC2-/320893151748?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ab6b8ea04 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Autoglym-Air-Con-Sanitizer/dp/B003ULXB0W -
Squeezed in a quick maintenance wash and happened to have the camera handy

As I was filling up yesterday saw this nice looking motor (after a lady came over to admire my Zed instead ). Don't now these much, so I through with the badge and plate it was a GTR, but is it a GTT dressed up as one? I even asked the guy if I could take a snap and he still couldn't resist picking his nose in shot

Saw this on amazon the other day, couldn't resist, takes me back...

Just a teeny update, progress has been slow this last few months waiting for my project to get going. Whilst I always liked the look of the red slam panel (and stickers ) it's always made the bonnet sit a little high, just a few mill, but enough for my eye. So I've been on the look out for a new one for a while. Not that easy to find at okay money, particualry as I prefer the ones which go full from end to end, not just the mid section. Took a chance on this one off fleabay, direct from Hong Kong. When I offered it up, it looked to be even higher than the previous but the recesses are just right and the bonnet now sits perfectly Very pleased with the quality too, weave looks fine, but I must admit I'm not really a carbon junkie, so defect free is fine for me. I also had some carbon vinyl from a previous fail lying around, so took an old waxy box and made a funky emergency detailing and bird **** kit for the boot. Over 10 minutes work this bad boy, can't you tell

You can only hope they wake up this morning infertile and save us from thier genes going forward.

Hello! Manchester based new member.

along, shows us snaps and have a little look here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/87808-drive-out-yorkshire-dales/ -
It's not legal now? Has no one told the Saxo owners clubs all over the UK?

I hear you, I wasn't expecting them to chuck CEL but I always had an uprev in the back of my mind anyway. Cheapest solutions is to get really good at the pedal dance or a reader to grab the codes and disable them, I keep a paper copy of this in the glove box in case I'm in a not spot. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81962-350z-fault-codes-in-pdf/

Floydbax is indeed right, the uprev doesn't disable them, it's just something they can do when they're working on the ECU at the same time. If you don't want it coming on, don't want to spend any more cash and don't want the hassle with checking and clearing codes. Pop the OEM cats back on and flog the Berks, someone will most likely snap your hand off.

The remap alone is a great mod. Increased BHP and torques, improved driveability, (best to check with your insurer first mind to see what it does to premium). Whilst they're in the "brains" and doing your new map, they just switch the sensors off. I understand (sure someone who knows will correct) these are purely diagnostic and it is "safe" to disable them - providing the code you're getting is for the sensors on the cats and not elsewhere. If I were you and want reassurance I'd contact your nearest remap garage (one of Abbey, TDI north, Horsham, RS) and get them to talk you through it. They'll give you free advice if they think you're likely to put the business their way. They will also advise other mods it is possible to do before an uprev which will improve things. You can just live with the CEL, but suggest getting a code reader so you can easily read and disable it, and also check that there's nothing else triggering it.

Deal, Luis Suarez their hand off.

That sucks, can't you sell an organ or something and keep the Zed?

Best looking Beemer on here Nice job, looks swell.

Nice choice Edinburgh, was there for a good few years, liked it a lot. Lots of decent pubs and plenty of culture to drink in too. Good luck with it BBK and the nut.

Another one here. The CEL would go away for some time, sometimes days, sometimes weeks. Tried spacers, no effect. Remap and sensors disabled - no more CEL.

This thread's gone freaky...

Holy sh!tb@llz :scare: I saw one delaminate on the motorway on a lorry recently, had to emergency stick the foot in to get passed and dodge the flying rubber chunks. Loads of drivers were flashing and waving, lorry driver didn't seem to notice.

I'm involved with software production and licensing from time to time at work. Take a little thing like an RSA token (security things, look like a USB stick, got a small LCD display on them, probably about £3 to manufacture) cost like £35 each and the licence is another £70 (both depending on how many you buy) and ALL your 1000 roaming staff need one each. Then to top it off these babies come with an enforced limited lifespan. So even if they still work in say 3 years time, you need to spend again. Feeling ripped off much? However, some genius came up with the secret algorithm that goes inside the token and on the RSA server and it makes for a nice secure authentication process that people can use to stop the Russian Mafia stealing their stuff, and said genius now drives a Ferrari and winters in Monaco. Good luck to him/her, they solved a real problem and reap the benefit. I may be a money grabbing swine, but I wouldn't give it away for free when loads of people are willing to pay - and lets be clear, uprev isn't the same as some faceless evil mega corp charging people for a disease cure, it's something that is totally not necessary to your survival/existence as a human, you elect to spend the cash or not. I know these tokens I'm on about aren't directly uprev relevant, but the sheer number of hours that go into producing quality and RESILIENT software is insane!!!! I know people think it's a sweaty warhammer geek in a dark room thumbing a softie whilst watching Miley Cyrus videos but it so isn't. Once you have the requirements (that bit isn't cheap BTW), then there's the kit, the coding, the environments for testing, the testing, the bug fixes, more testing, more bug fixes, more testing, more bug fixes, a load of new requirements and starting again, then going live anyway, then dot releases - then on top of all of that there's the project support and the admin support and an HR department, and having a building that the people work in and utilities and PAYE and NI and all the varieties of insurance and business rates and so on - there's probably loads more. People flip out when something crashes or is expensive but no one bats an eyelid at the millions and millions of instructions that complete successfully over and over and over again - like the magic that is all of the internet hardware and software making this discussion possible - 4 hours without a mobile network functioning and people are ready to grab pitchforks and start looting Just my two pennies.

Tackleberry's fairlady - Wrapping finished!
Stutopia replied to Tackleberry's topic in Member Build Projects
You did a much better job on the other pieces you wrapped. I'm not sure I like the new cling film wrap you're going for The black bits you mentioned make more sense with the roof, mirrors and handles all in black too. -
Dogs were too but their **** is legislated for? Get some dog crap and put it in your left eye, then put some horse crap in your right eye. Then tell me which eye you lose sight from. I just re-read the posts, I'm not certain where I disagree with dog **** being dangerous. Which one was it?

There's no reason at all that horses shouldn't be mandated to have those cr@p catchers when on public land. I'm a country lad and have been up to my eyeballs in it, it's not a squeamish thing, it's just not on. Saying that it's a fertiliser and goes on your food has no bearing, they spread cow **** on fields too, doesn't mean I want it layered on my bacon sarnie. The middle class mafia ride horses, they set the political agenda via the Daily Mail, therefore it's not something that's likely to be addressed by legislation.
