i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon.

thats the thing, so many iFans buy what ever comes out with an apple logo attatched. Steve Jobs replacement could crap on a plate, stick an apple on it and seel it as iPoo and still make millions. they have alot of blind faith followers. i like their inovation on things like the apple TV the mac mini and alot of their design influence, but they no longer seem to be setting themselves apart from the crowd. its the poison challis that is being the market leader, at some point you get complacent and others take over. i remember all the other phone fads, think it went nokia phones first then the motorola razor things then the apple iphone question is what is and will be the next big thing. because if you look at both motorola and nokia, neither have the volume sales and the market share they held years ago.

already a part of it, some of the info is shocking especially the oil speculators profiting off us by artificially inflating the price.

who's this husky character???? as for the rainbow engine, its not being entered in a gay pride march wasso if i need anything polishing you'll be the first to know, but the garage doing the tensioners will do the painting/polishing while its all in bits. but i may well need some other stuff so i'll drop you a line when i'm ready

i do carbon dipped ones look like carbon ones half the price and no stick on malarky, its the real trim in carbon, so no edges. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=63080

thought about using wrinkle on the rocker covers, but these will now be carbon, and being the other bits are metal its so much easier to go for a smooth hammerite or a painted colour

car colour is anthracite pearl, its a very dark metallic gunmetal, almost black, but close up has gold purple and green metallic flakes in it.

that was very well done

Been done in yellow green and red red and chrome (just found this, that might work well)

I know this isn't the JAg forum i use, but the volume of people and ideas on here, plus the fact lots of my mates on here mean i appreciate the advice given. Basically my car is soon to go in for timing chain tensioner change. and to do that, lots of the engine is to be dismantled so i thought it a prime time to tidy it up while its in bits. This is currently how my engine bay looks my rocker covers are sun faded from the vents in the bonnet, so i have a spare set which are in the process of being "refreshed" with a difference. was going to do something crazy, but decided to keep a little bit of conservativeness being what the car is, so they are being carbon fibered. what i'm stuck on is what colour to paint the spark plug covers (in the picture its the bit with the word jaguar written in silver on top of the rocker cover) as well as painting the supercharger (the bit in the middle that says V8 on it) and painting the charge coolers ( the bits that say supercharged on either side of the supercharger) colours already on/in the car Car = anthracite pearl (cross between gunmetal and black) wheels = oyster (light gold) but this might change come refurb time to either a dark gold or possibly anthracite/shadow chrome) wheel centres = currently red and silver but when wheels are refurbed will be changed to these or calipers = currently grey, but will get a refub sometime so probably change to match what ever scheme i set up. current idea red spark covers or possibly polished aluminium ones red supercharger black charge coolers oil cap to be swapped for a polished ally one dipstick to be swapped for a polished ally one polish up lettering so it will be silver on both the red and black am i being to short sighted ? anyone got any suggestions or what to do some PS mockups? thanks in advance guys, as i've been pondering this for months

tried apple, went to android, never looked back i'm not a brand whore, if something better comes out i'll swap, i'm hoping in 2 years time when my one X contract ends that win mob 8 or what ever it is by then will be alot better.

good sky shot

...or when they measure it at the pits good for MOT's, they'll be measuring the gases at the back, when in truth they could be shooting out the side

zeds possibly one of the safest RWD cars to start off in, as RWD goes its very progressive, very planted and very predictable. i would say the zed is a great first step in to the world of RWD. decent tyres will solve most issues, dont turn TCS off for a while as you learn the car and the trick with RWD is smooth. smooth acceleration, smooth braking, smooth steering. as for tuning it has the same problems as the celica, mucho £££ to get any decent gains.

might as well keep it manual control, set it open for when you want a hoon, turn it closed for sedate or track work where decibel limits exist.

I know another company that has a control box that can do it on rev boundaries or on manual control. as for 2 into 1 and back to 2 my setup has an X pipe so it kind of does that, which enables exhaust gas scavenging. which helps to keep both sides of the engine balanced. i think you plan for a section where ti comes back together might be a bit restrictive. as it won;t work like an x pipe, but colide in the middle. having 2 does not double the sound, same as having 2 exhaust back boxes doesn;t, the engine makes the same level of noise, you'll just have to outlets for the gas.

did X ever boil rabbits on the stove?

the owner needs to find a new garage, looks like someone fitted the wrong size tyres, and the wheels look like they're about to fall off or the suspensions broken fronts ok, rears not so good, don't think its the best kit for the zed, looks better on the 70

its like the emperors new clothes looks jut like the last 2 phones, thinner and light should be a given as tech is moving so quickly. same with screen and battery tech. apple used to be a trend setter that everyone else plays catchup with, but it looks like they've gone a bit stagnant i'm sure its top spec and high quality, but it is no longr set apart from the competition; its the same as the others so why pay the apple premium what is it an apple phone can do now that others can't? they have also just lost google maps and street view with their next update

Tough, it's going on. There's not exactly loads to dislike the spoiler as its basically the OEM on steroids. I've always thought the rear needed a spoiler but never wanted to drill into the carbon. At least if I don't feel it works I can detach it and sell onward. you've already painted over the carbon so drilling holes makes very little difference i voted for the spoiler, car looks unfinished without something on the bootlid. but the car doesn't need or want some stupid large wing either. the blitz one is perfect for the car and finishes off the rear.

Depends how long i can bare it for No no no Dave, you come to me you don;t understand you go and see dave, not to see dave, but for the fun of the tunnel on the way home. its the best exhaust note tester in the country

drinks enough as it is without running rich
