sounds interesting

Idrove on them in the zed in the snow and found them to be alright. because of the tread pattern design it does feel like the car slightly crabs across the road; its a very odd sensation, but thegrooves seem to cut into the snow quiet nicely, a bit like a caterpillar track/digger

they say for the best winter driver car, you want: Narrow tyres with a snow/winter tread and compound small wheels not too much power front or 4wd good manual gear box what i have 300 wide 30 profile tyres summer tyres on 20" wheels over 400 Bhp RWD with an auto box with no snow mode. and i'll still be driving in the snow when it comes.

probably the wrong kind of snow

does improve it, instead of the rear pushing all the weight up, going in reverse drags it up. makes it more stable, works even better with a few mates sat on the boot, or carrying a bag or 4 of cement in the boot.

its basically double sided sticky back foam as a tape. 3M do their own version http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Car-Truck-Trim-Seal-Double-Sided-Adhesive-Tape-Molding-10mm-/390389692883?pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&hash=item5ae509f9d3 or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXTRA-BOND-BODY-KIT-CAR-TRIM-MOLDING-ACRYLIC-TAPE-ROLL-/320061702571?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item4a852a01ab or most of this stuff http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=trim+moulding+tape&_sacat=0&_odkw=bodykit+tape&_osacat=0&_from=R40

if going up a hill do it in reverse, turns a RWD car into a FWD car

at least in the upstairs bit you'll see the low bridge coming just before you hit it

that jap cars rear axle looks broken

if it was actual Tan leather then yes it would look awesome, i love Alfa tan leather interiors they look the danglies. but in the zed its orange...bright orange. but i don;t mind it. looks good when clean, looks crap when dirty.

i learnt this: once logged in, click the forum tab first; then click "new content" once your in there everytime you clcik new content, it will alwyas take you back to it if you're in the forum area. if you go to your pm box and click it. you'll get the no content message. so you just click back on forum first. from what i can gather it works as a new content button for what ever section your in.

Ekona doesn't like the new song gangnam style as he thought it said nankang style!

My calendar says its ekonas birthday today; I'm sure he can correct me if i'm wrong, but if it is Happy birthday you grumpy old git!

I bought my 06 for £15k back in 2008 and sold it for £12.5k back in 2009

is it savilleclaus

best bit of advice rest is all good too :wink:

its called "the green deal" - however, this is effectively a loan or charge on the property - if you sell the house the charge remains on the property - to me this is not a good deal !! as prospective buyers will be turned off by the fact that not only do they have a mortguage to deal with but a loan thats the one, he is green deal accredited, but when you look at the costs associated with insulation its paid for very quickly. in comparison to something like a solar panel setup. and its something that apparently is going to be rolled out nationally and eventually every house will need to have a green deal certificate. might as well get in early and sort it.

i had great fun researching and learning, have to say i've very happy with my setup which cost me all in £400, and you'd spend about that on a decent soundbar. best bet is to go somewhere you can listen to them., and try and get one with a seperate sub

winter tyres will make a big difference to winter driving, but just becuase your neighbour made it doens;t mean you will. a lot of progress in poor weather conditions is down to the driver and their skill not what car it is and waht they have on the wheels. key tips - pull away in third - use the clutch and the bite point to rock the car in to momentum/movement - tickle the throttle like its a hair trigger on a bomb - use your gears to slow down - always use a high gear - don;t touch the brakes unless you have to, slow down with the gears - read the road in front, leave huge gaps to allow for emergency braking and the fact you're going to slide - in RWD steer out of the slide not into it. - go slowly, don;t power out of corners keep everything constant, no sudden steering or throttle or brake inputs - if it all goes wrong hold on tight, don;t shut your eyes and aim for the softest thing you can see (avoid posts etc)

My Dads just trained in something to do with this. from what i can gather there is a new thing coming out next year. and anyone looking at doing any kind of insulation work needs a home report of some kind. basically what my dad does is do the report for the house and it tells you what grant money and stuff you're eligable for and what options you have like loft, wall insulation etc. I can pass my dads details on to people if you want. i don;t fully understand the ins and outs of it as i wasn;t paying attention fully to what he was saying. but he'd defo give you some advice to point you in the right direction if that helps. like whats best value for money, who to speak to , what money is available in grants etc where to get it from etc.

never heard of them, check the tyre review website

thats what i have already

the R35 has been built to the extremems of its budget; i would say its a highly strung car, and this is evident from its service intervals and cost of replacement parts. i think the porsches are more spaced ou i wouldn;t say its had the cheapest parts put on it, but there will have had to of been some compromises in order to keep the costs down to compete with the likes of porsche etc. I'd rather buy a high performance car like that from a manufacturer whos soul purpose is performance cars. if you take your porsche 911 to a porsche garage they spend all their time working on 911's, caymans, boxters GT3 etc etc. you take you R35 to nissan Or even your 350Z or 370Z and we all know most of them can;t tell their arse form their elbow as most of the time they spend it working on micras.
