  1. Fair enough. A friend once used M and T transmissions in Sheffield to rebuild a Corvette box. So far as I know it's still going strong. No idea what it cost though. GRGB in Bristol (or Bath - somewhere round there) are supposed to be ok too.
  2. For the cost of a second hand box on a car that's probably not worth all that much versus the cost of reconditioning a box you may as well get a used one.

    Which HID

    Most of the kits are the same. Produced in the same factory in China but packaged in a different box. I have a Viper kit in my z32. Cost £20 off eBay and does the job fine. Just make sure you get the right bulb fitment and the correct colour (4300k or 5000k)
  4. Main concern I would have is the size of the screen. S2/3 aren't big screens, and if you're gonna be faffing around trying to start a music app or change a track whilst driving it's going to be a hazard.
  5. The finance will flag on HPI check. You can sell privately thoug . But the buyer needs to pay directly to the finance company.
  6. Current Official offers: http://www.nissan-offers.co.uk/new-vehicles/370z Not sure if they are offering friends and family discount on Nismos. If so, it would be around 16%
  7. Although you've put down more deposit than I would that's far more like the sort of deal I was hoping for. Can I ask what dealer that quote was from and when? The interest on the hire purchase quote was 4.89% btw! That is a PCP quote. The £15k final payment will be your guaranteed value at the end of your agreed period. Then you either hand back the car, or pay £15k, or use any difference above its GFV and it's actual value as a deposit on your next pcp.
  8. Fans are prone to failing in older cars. Sounds like yours has packed in. (Although check coolant level just to be sure) Mishimoto replacements are available from a few of the traders here and aren't expensive.

    You've told me enough stories boss that I know what you're talking about. And I was still in nappies when it happened!
  10. I see the Audi into F1 rumours have started up again. Mostly based on the R18-H facing it's last season next year in WEC and Audis sister company Porsche starting to show pace and gain ground. Can't see it happening myself. But another big manufacturer in F1 could only be a good thing. I just wish they'd all return to BTCC!

    Sounds like a plan Andy. We'd have been over on time except for Aarons wheel issue and then Dereks overheating!
  13. At one point during my complicated family history I had a step - brother with the same name as me - Alex. So to save confusion he got Al and I got called Lex. I added the second X when I joined my first forum 17 years ago and Lex was already taken.

    do they suit

    I've always thought these wheels look too busy. In my opinion the 350 suits simply 5 or 6 spokes (concave or dish) best. But each to their own.
  15. Suck it up. You broke the law and got caught. No amount of sarcasm towards the system will make a jot of difference.
  16. ;)
  17. That's not a re-phrase, that's completely different from your first point. How can you kick someone out of their own country? If he was born in Britain, then he's British. End of. Your statement was right out of a Britain First slogan, and it's one that doesn't belong any where in any form. The thing is Dip, you're saying all this without knowing the motivation behind the attack. Maybe the Army cadet was banging the other guys missus? (Bit of a stretch at 15 I agree). Just because it was one ethnicity against another does not mean it was a politically motivated attack.
  18. Exactly what went through my mind, hope the lad is okay. +2 Also BBk you want to deport him and his family? Where too... Australia like the good old days? hes most likely British born Edit: I meant to also say his family could well be as horrified about this as the rest of us Well he should get deported to his mother country. If he's British born but Indian then send him back there. If you wouldn't fight for this country in a war or have issues with the culture then you don't belong here imho. I'm 3rd generation British. My family are originally Hungarian. I have no interest in fighting a war for this or any country. You saying I should be deported?
  19. Is it a UK car or a Cali import? Good purchase regardless! Edit: just noticed you said it's a RHD. Is it originally a RHD or a conversion?
  20. This. Someone had shared the Daily Mail article on it. The comments underneath were shocking. For all anyone knows the attacker could be from a family that's been in the UK for 100 years or more. The natural assumption that he was either Muslim or an immigrant is appalling.

    Xenon bulbs

    The numbers refer to temperature at which the bulb "burns" in Kelvin. The higher the number, the less visible light is emitted. As said above, 4300k is OEM. Although BMW, Audi, and Mercedes use 5000k. I find 6000k too high for regular use. All the HIDs I've fitted in the past have always been 5000k
  22. Just don't get a wheel alignment at Revolution. They have a hunter machine but no clue how to use it
  23. Depending where you live.... Falcon Performance in Boro Or JM Imports in Cramlington.
