What colour is that? Also, as it's missing the buttons on the steering wheel it will be the base spec.

Do love that cover. Heard this recently and it reminded me of it. (skip to 1:42) And, something a little different....

If it works for you then it's all good. I don't squat often enough to justify it and with DLs I'd much rather be flat.

Problem is getting your macros. It's so much cheaper and easier to have a protein shake than, say, chicken. If chicken was the same price, then maybe, but I don't fancy doubling my shopping bill. It's also pretty hard to get enough creatine from food. Usually just plimsolls. I like a thin sole, I really don't need the extra height and I feel more planted, so it's the next best thing to no shoes.

Yeh, for the sake of a tenner and 30 mins, you may as well just change it. Either that or cut it if you don't need your AC.

I average about 31 mpg on my commute. Mainly city driving and A roads. However there's speed cameras most of the way limiting me to 30/40/50. I avoid flooring it unless I know that the road ahead is clear. No point mashing the throttle just to stomp on the brakes in a few seconds. In fact, I hardly ever use my brakes at all, I just coast when I need to slow down / stop. On motorways I get 40-50 mpg. Generally, acceleration and twisties are fun, not speed, so unless I'm gonna blast about at 130+, I'm happy to stick to the speed limit on motorways. So yeh, my driving overall is pretty conservative, but it just makes the times I do put my foot down and have some fun all the more special.

It is a fast car with a big engine and it can use a lot of fuel

What flavours are you trying? If you stick to unflavoured and mix it with a decent ratio of milk it pretty much just tastes like milk (maybe with a hint of porridge). It's great for me, cos I love milk, though I can see why you'd be finicky if you don't like milk...

^+1 this. Only takes a minute to give em a poke.

Don't see why not, but you'll have to check the current / voltage and it may require a resistor.

Does that budget need to cover peripherls (monitors, kb, mouse, speakers)

I kinda like unflavoured whey. Just mix it with milk and it kinda tastes like... milk.

Unflavoured Whey Concentrate, don't see the point spending more on isolate unless you have to.

Would recommend bit-tech over Overclockers, but it's just personal preference.

Best advice would be to buy used - either individual components or a full system. Unless you need the very latest spec cos you're running 4k or VR, you will save so much and still get excellent performance. I would avoid ebay, but if you try the marketplace section of a dedicated forum, you can find some really good deals. Don't be afraid to build it yourself either, it only takes 5 minutes. You just stick things where they fit - you can't really go wrong. (Though even the best of us forget to plug stuff in and have a mini panic attack when we press the power switch and it doesn't boot.)

Bought my last few lots from Protein Dynamix. Was hesitant at first cos it was so cheap, but it seems alright.

I am somewhat amazed as it looks like noone else read this. But pictures please!! One day I plan to rebuild one of these. I am just lacking money, a garage, some tools and a clue of what to do! Oh wow, no I didn't. It's a dream to own one of those. Definitely put some pics up.

That silver Z proving it's boot still opens

Should probably check in here. Drive between Wakey and Hud most days. Saw a black Z with a Cobra sticker parked outside Lidl the other day which I'm gonna assume to be raysw20.

Welcome. 5k is better, but it's still gonna be a low tier early model. You might be alright, just make sure you carry out a really thorough inspection.

Welcome.

I'm finding this too. Most of my classes give no time for lunch. I'm mostly in 11:30-1:30/2 as a second session. Come 1pm I'm starving. I think I just need to get back into the habit of making a packed lunch or my peanut butter "flapjacks" and having a munch during lectures.

Sticking to my M/T/Th/F, working round uni. Diet is getting sloppy though. Was going really well while I was working, but now I'm back at uni I keep missing lunch. Trying to get back up to my previous 95Kg, but if past years are anything to go by I'll lose weight over xmas...

Did they ever work for you? I believe they're run off separate pumps, so it would be strange if both pumps failed at the same time. Can you hear anything when you try use them? Also just to make sure, you are pushing the stick forward to use the rear washers and pulling it for the front? Also check your headlight washers with the button if you have them. Edit: Wow, fixed that spelling - didn't realise how bad it came out on my phone.
