  1. Cradle for Bluetooth receiver to hook it up to the stereo.
  2. Sold - thread locked
  3. Heard all kinds of things from a 2400cc unit to an AWD platform. Be interesting to see what they chuck out, hope it’s not just another boosted 4 pot like all the rest.
  4. I had to clean an awful lot of 1980s cigarette smoke off the turntable and also paint strip and rattle can the heat sync lid off the amp!
  5. All that work going to FI and back for MOT
  6. Nice touch with the handles! Are we just hi-fi pic whoring now? If so... Bought this second hand for my 18th birthday (Spring 1999) for £100 off my 6th form teacher. If there’s a better way to spend £100, I’d like to know about it! It went in storage in 2009 when I went to South America for a year. Then it came back out again in 2019 because I bought a house and also inherited this from my Great Uncle... The amp still sounded ok but had some issues (this model is prone to them due to its insane operating temp of 65C, being 30 years old and 10 years of no use) and went away for service and overhaul (all electrolytic capacitors replaced for high temperature audio grade components, much cleaning, re-soldering and many other small things). I absolutely love it.
  7. Love the valve amp. Have you lifted another design or just gone for it yourself? How big are the speakers? Can’t tell if they are 3ft or 3 metres!
  8. After some input from you guys on helmets and gloves for track days, perhaps a little motorsport in future too. So far my shopping list includes: - HANS posts - FIA certification - Looks cool Probably a bit over the top for common or garden trackdays but it’s where I keep most of my thinking gear and I’m too beautiful to risk this mush Obviously it’s a go to a shop and try them on sort of purchase. - Can anyone recommend a physical shop in the North (that’s above Derby, not Watford!)? - Full face or chinless? - Any other tips? Regarding gloves, I’m assuming that fireproof, comfy and well fitting are the only important things, but any other suggestions welcome. Budget is in the region of £500. Ta.
  9. Haha. No problem mate. I got the aerial from Fensport, but can’t see it on their site these days. It’s the beatsonic one. To be honest, it’s shocking as an aerial. If you use the radio at all, rethink this mod!!!! Valentis regularly come up on the GT86 forum I frequent - gt86.org.uk However, I ordered mine from https://www.ctautoparts.com.au/ because I only wanted the red ones
  10. I’d definitely be totally honest with them. Was there a genuine reason why your normal routine of parking on the drive was disrupted? If so, then it shouldn’t really be a problem.
  11. Everyone is welcome. Ask questions, chip in on advice, have opinions. Play nicely and all will be well.
  12. @Ridz Please can you add a price.
  13. Maybe try a gentle warm with a hairdryer?
  14. Hubba hubba. Not cheap but looks fun. https://www.motorsportauctions.com/category/331/National-Category-Rally-Cars/listings/38914/Nissan-350Z-(35l-V6).html
  15. Show car taking a kicking! Looks like you’re loving it though
  16. Three layers of C5, same as the wheels and also the exhaust now.
  17. Cheers mate. Thanks for supplying the rear discs too. Spot on service, as usual.
