Forum issues, they're on it (same thing happens when you pres 'link' too). In the meantime, when you're looking at the 'My bucket' type view with all your pics as tiles, each one has three links underneath. You're only interested in the lower two, IMG and IMG thumb. If you want the picture to appear normal page size you click the IMG one and copy, then come into the fast reply box and paste (it will show as a llnk but when you submit the post, it will be shown as an image, not a link). If you want a small image that gets bigger when clicked (useful if you're posting a lot), then do the same thing with the lower link (IMG thumb). It's a good technique to learn as it's almost completely universal for all forums, regardless what other image posting services they provide, it's usually a safe bet this will work.

I think I'll get a few silica gel packs and tape them up inside the old covers and fit them (I haven't even checked condition of the old covers tbh), maybe with a bead of silicone as well. I have also heard that the sealing around the indicator bulb socket and wiring can be the problem, but I don't have details.

Just in case you think its too hot here!

I thought year low temperature was about 9C, oh, okay, comparable winters then, maybe ours is just a touch colder, hardly something to shout about loool. -
He said he's changed them, and when my car had these symptoms (from the previous owner, who also assumed it was an ABS sensor), it was because the tyres were the wrong size. I never changed any ABS sensors, but I did put stock tyres on stock wheels and the problem went away instantly. Now, if he'd said that this suddenly happened out of nowhere, of course it wouldn't be a logical suggestion, but since he's changed everything under the car, logical to assume tyres, too, no?
-
Did you change tyres at the same time? If so, what sizes did you put?

Wow, that's nuts. Occasionally it reaches 45 here, a couple of times in my 15 years, most summers we'll get a day or 2 at 40. The funny thing is, unlike Arizona it frequently hits zero degrees in winter! It once snowed three feet outside my house in the suburbs of Athens -
There's nothing for it, you're just gonna have to beat her. Seriously though, if I had a quid for every time I told the wife 'I told you that would happen, didn't I?" I'd have.... about 20 quid probably.

You can get all 4 as dimpled, grooved or cross drilled for 369 quid before forum discount, from MTEC. I see no reason whatsoeever to pay after market prices for a solid disc of metal. http://www.mtecbrake...0-03-01-10.html

Sargara, I believe the Depo supplied ones were used in mine. I'm having a very very minor condensation issue, is this the reason? I also fitted brand new ballasts with brand new o-rings. Re: Blue wire, I think it is the actuator/servo signal for auto levelling function for when you have a heavy load in the boot, but I could be wrong.

Yeh alright, I got a bit carried away.

Blackvue are the go to brand currently.

Dude, please! The 350Z is a purpose built NA Japanese GT drift machine with a certain intangible exoticness about it, plus it's the best sounding 6cyl ever made probably, the Z4M is a fashion accessory. Put the cost difference (about 10 grand, no?) into forced induction for the Z, then tellme which is the more exciting car. Someone's gotta tell it like it is! Speed is just a number kids. By the way, that's not bias you're hearing there, the Z might be my 40th car in my life (lost count), my fave brand is Honda and my last car was an AWD e92 335 with 400hp.

350z Rocket bunny - Fierce Fuscia - Hedge end
Aashenfox replied to Humpy's topic in Spotted or Flyered
Whether it is or isn't the same car, audience disappointment has been addressed! Cheers for that. What a great choice of wheel dish colour, major kudos. -
He's a brave man for cutting up the loom just on my say-so! I think THAT might be the biggest compliment I've got outta this. It's one of those things you just don't know unless you've done it, peculiarity specific to these Depo lights. I keep hearing they'll be discontinued soon, if not already, shame cos they are the most beautiful lights on our cars, and for Taiwan stuff are decent quality.

Epic disappointment upon entering a thusly titled thread and finding no image of any kind. You sir, are a tease! -
If you want to trade crypto, the one to get onto is btc-e.com Follow prices with bitcoinwisdom.com I too would be a millionaire now if I'd held every piece of crypto that ever came my way (I was into litecoin and dogecoin as well, had large holdings of both). I didn't keep the faith despite encouraging others to do so, more fool me.

The Predator also has a prettier face. :/

Wasnt my mate I had never met the chap , he was basically trying to race me , I was pottering up to Silverstone at a very gentle pace as it was around 6 degrees and wet and my car was spinning up on gentle gearshifts , I didnt go over about 60mph but he passed me well into 3 figures and then slowed down before passing me again , he floored it off the roundabout and you can see the results His car is heavily damaged and probably a write off but he hopes to rebuild it , he is a nice lad and we have all made mistakes . I split the money with him for the video so he could take his missus out for a meal as she was in the car at the time Nice, cheers for sharing. I'd say the driving lesson he got that day was worth more than the damage to his car.

All done, delivery and customs, and bearing in mind I had to go through 2 hours of dealing with assholes at the airport to get it out of customs (and bringing it home myself from there, after paying 130 bucks delivery or something was a pain in my arse, but I think that's a greek thing, I would expect your customs to be more orgamised and more cooperative, as well as cheaper). I digress...about 420 euro is the answer. It sounds exactly like the K4 videos you can see, but I will get a clip up soon. It's particularly fruity at the 4k rpm sweet spot where our engine sounds like a big dog gargling while howling. lol. It's a bit flat up top, turns into more of a roar, but at low rpm it's quiet as a mouse.

Yeh, I came 'from' a faster, newer BMW as well. 911 or bust.

@*!#! Sorry I didn't see this before bro. this is well documented everywhere by people who have done this swap. Just snip the blue wire. Done. You do need the right bulbs of course, I made that mistake too, but to stop the indicators being on all the time, it's just that blue wire, nothing else.

Needs spacers and a drop.

Do you want bug reports in here at all, Lexx? Sorry if not wanted, here I go anyway...I expect it's related to the other links problem you're having, but just in case... Browser: Chrome Resolution: 2K When using the fast reply box and selecting text, then pressing the link button, the screen greys for the popup, but the popup never appears. I was then unable to cancel the action, requiring me to hit back and lose the post. It was only a short one. The same behaviour is evident in the full editor. Thanks!

A Nikon D5200 is easily attainable with a fantastic pair of VR (vibration reduction) lenses bundled in, which will make you a photography GOD on their own, and can grow with you until your skills require something better (unlikely, with the best of intent, unless you take up photography as a serious hobby ). It's the DSLR I can easily recommend to anyone that wants a 'good camera' without investing in something they may not use to its potential. In automatic mode with the VR lens, you'll be very, very happy, and if you want to go further with it you can. I consider myself a decent amateur and I haven't outgrown mine yet.
