  1. A few teams (Brazil, Spain) are doing what they need, and no more, in my opinion. We'll see a different side to them in the knockouts. Belgium were my tip pre-tournament, and nothing I've seen has changed that (although, Brazil do look a little better than I thought they would). Agree about Colombia, sadly... far more creative than us. Have to disagree about Portugal though, I don't think they've looked very cohesive.
  2. Now sold. Lock/Delete thread as you see fit. Thanks for being a great forum during my Z ownership. Cheerio. Gary
  3. Hi guys, my 350Z is now up for sale. Simply hardly being used, and I need a large family car. 2005/05, 47800 miles, FSH, Rays albeit refurbished in anthracite, Pioneer AVHX8500DAB head unit with USB input in arm rest cubby and full steering wheel integration (original supplied). Billet weighted gear knob from this forum (original supplied). Clear front reflectors (original orange ones supplied). 5/16th plenum spacer fitted. Clutch line replaced with braided version, and full bleed using RBF660. Great condition, apart from usual front-end stone chips. Open to reasonable offers.
  4. I've experienced something similar, although mine stayed past 2800rpm. Its happened maybe 10 times. Come off gas and it goes... back on and it usually doesn't return. Only happened when I've been driving "spiritedly" so i think its heat-dependent... maybe a weird intermittent exhaust blow.
  5. You're probably right... but as it is, they're sat there doing nothing, taking up space, and I'm facing having to take them to the local scrappy (which will be two trips as I don't want to risk cramming all 4 in the Zed!) So, if someone wanted to swing by and pick them up, it'll be a win-win for us both.
  6. I realise no one wants these, but worth a shot. I have 4 touring alloys recently removed from my car. 2 are in excellent condition, 2 are very lightly kerbed most of the way around the rim. They have tyres, 4 x Bridgestones, they have tread left (2 have plenty) but 2 are looking perished and were advisories on my last MOT. Free to collect, 10 mins from J20 of M5. If anyone is seriously considering these, then I will get pics and measure the tread depths.
  7. I think everyone should try a bit of coding, in my experience most people get a bit of a kick out of it. I've been a developer for nearly 20 years, most of that as a senior/team lead. Almost entirely using Microsoft IDEs... and the ubiquitous HTML/CSS/Javascript obviously. Never tried Python though.
  8. In all serious, his first contradiction is to state that "He" controls the constellations, whilst in actual fact the whole reason we "know" this will happen on the 27th is because we know the constellations/planets follow an entirely predictably and unwavering path. Sort of shot down his own argument there
  9. That'll be my dad's 67th birthday... he'll enjoy welcoming the rapture whilst savouring his birthday whisky!
  10. Agreed, I think you've gone too dark. They look like part of the bumper, which is daft as why would there be such a chunky recess there? Lovely shine on your paintwork though
  11. Marvellous... probably being thick, but how should I supply my details and pay?
  12. Next up, to fit the refurbished Rays that have been sat in the back of the shed for the last year
  13. Having completed an oil change, new air filter, and replacement of clutch slave cylinder (including new braided line and full bleed) I finally got round to fitting some bits I've had for a while. So, new clear reflectors and silvatec indicator bulbs. Then polished the headlights with the DA, and sealed with Megs headlight protector/sealant. Very happy with the results, although the Megs stuff has left some hard-to-shift residue on the headlights. The eagle-eyed might just spot the new stubby aerial too!
