FIA reporting he's undergoing surgery following serious head injuries.

The diary thread itself is there, but the entries by ten pence short have all been removed.

The clutch issue is the one to look at in more depth. You don't want to have to have the gearbox off in the first week of ownership

Whilst a Singing Teacher can't turn you into Adele, they can teach you a lot about breathing techniques and singing from your gut and not your throat (sounds weird, but will make sense after a couple of lessens). They can teach you about notes, and how to recognise, find, and hold them. So yes. a teacher really can teach you how to sing. You may not be fantastic, or even stand out from the crowd, but you can be taught to be competent at it. (My wife teaches singing from time to time).

It's like deja vu. FFS actually finish it this time or I'll ban you!

TinkerTom maybe?

It's the onboard video from one of the other cars showing the 370 go flying past heading for the barriers that shows just how bloody fast he was shifting. Must have been terrifying. Couple of big smashes recently. There was a pretty nasty one in the V8 supercars last weekend too.

Saw you'd commented, instantly thought the thread had 1) Got out of hand 2) Been shut down Sorry Lexx

I'd been a member of various other OC's for 4 years or so. So when I started looking at Z33's it was natural to come on here.

The reason why I dislike threads like this isn't just because I am acting Draconian btw. Many members here will know of a Pistonheads member called "10 pence short". He caused a serious accident which almost resulted in the death of a biker and resulted in him spending 12 months in prison.the prosecution used posts he'd made on forums about driving to and beyond his limits and such to prove he was a dangerous and reckless driver. Unfortunately his prison diary was removed from PH a while back. It makes a staggering and scary read. Basically just remember what you post on this forum is public. Also should the authorities come to the team requesting copies of threads/posts we will give them willingly. Just something for you to think about.

You're my hero

Wasn't the Momo wheel a limited edition option on JDM cars?

Fans more than likely failed. Common issue on older Zeds. You can buy Mishimoto ones from a few of the treaders her

It may look like enough clearance, but if you give a good yank down on the exhaust it could hit it. I had the same issue on the RX8 with an aftermarket exhaust. I just spaced the cross brace with a few washers. Solved it.

Stone Chips are a separate thing. Polishing doesn't remove them. Some detailers will be able to do a "chips away" type service. But generally if a bumper is badly stone chipped then it's time for a respray.

Have a look on detailing world for Pro Detailers in your area. Depending on how much you want doing and the condition of the paint, it can be anything from 5 hours to a few days. Just depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.

Far too many variables to say whether a tyre should or shouldn't last x amount of years. Weather, sunlight, chemicals, road types, etc etc all effect them

Without seeing the car I can't say for certain, but a machine polish will remove swirls and holograms. Even horrendous ones. Rule of thumb - if you can feel a scratch with your nail, you won't be able to polish it out. But swirls etc can be removed easily with a DA polisher. Do you use the 2 bucket method to wash it, as well as using a wool mitt etc? If you're using a sponge and chamis then you are contributing to the swirls and you can't go blaming a previous owner. A respray really is extreme! You're talking £300-£500 for a pro to detail and paint correct a car, compared to £2500 for a respray. If you feel like doing it yourself, £125 will get you a DA polisher and associated bits from PolishedBliss.

Rocking Horse S*** does exist! You'll have sold this within a week no bother.

I would be thinking battery/alternator issue maybe?

You said yourself you have read dozens of threads on the same subject and they all end in arguements. Do you think this will end any different? You will get recommendations from people for just about every brand and variety of tyre out there. It still won't help you choose. I always swear by VUS, others hate them. Some swear by P-Zero's, others hate them. Some swear by Falkens, others hate them. Get where I am going with this?...
