  1. if you are in manchester I'll have them installeld in about 1 hour, but not coming to London for it mate
  2. if that's the case, even better then! never been there though, can't vouch for the tarmac conditions/facilities etc
  3. my car is fine thanks very much. Bet lomoto has had more accidents due to senility anyway
  4. haven't asked as there doesn't seem to be enough interest
  5. can confirm, neil rang me and spoke to both they sounded very much in love!
  6. very nice, Endless are good stuff And Project Mu
  7. also, really propshaft in this case is the wrong term to be used, on both the guide and (according to Dorian) the Sumo power website? Also, when we were there I'm sure Tim and/or Andy mentioned the propshaft as I mentioned it being carbon fibre, hence me getting confused!
  8. the Pod is in the middle of England, the other place is way too far for everywhere apart from London? (IIRC)
  9. oops I was convinced it was the propshaft???? so not the carbon fibre propshaft then! why can't they just call it rear axles? (which is what they are, right? just to understand, it's those that cause the clicking noise, right?? )
  10. Might be up for it , but not travelling to the Pod if the weather is going to be unsettled
  11. from the wiki "In British English, the term "driveshaft" is restricted to a transverse shaft which transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A driveshaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft (or more commonly a "prop-shaft") and a driveshaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel is usually called a halfshaft. The name derives from the fact that two such shafts are required to form one rear axle."
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driveshaft the one they broke on the Sumo Z is the shaft that transfers the power to the rear wheels. Basically the tunnel you see fron the front of the car that goes to the rear diff. The wiki mentions the "propshaft" term and I think it's the correct one in this case
  13. I've never heard of propshaft failing mate, only one I've ever seen (or heard about or read, on the various forums including the US ones) was the Sumo power one, during a drifting session. With 700Nm of torque, imo that's as much as the propshaft can bear tbh.
  14. 1. Beavis 2. Digsy 3. Ian 4. lomoto 5. The Stig (Sarnie) 6. M13KYF 7. TheMinel
  15. that's what I thought, you can always run one at a time! Tim I thought I was bad in collecting Z stuff, but you are most definitely worse than me!
  16. you are not allowed to buy wheels that look like mine
  17. check it's had the P3 service, and most "wearable items" have been looked at (brake pads, disks, check the clutch, tyres, wear on seats, what else?
  18. I think they got better with time, if that's possible?? I drove the Z yesterday after a few days of inactivity, and boy it stops! I have Brembo sport pads (not the OEM ones) too and RBF fluid too
  19. taking apart a barn???? at least it's healthier than getting drunk..... oh wait Seriously, Ming hope yr nose is ok mate
  20. atually the warranty is 3 years OR 60k miles, whichever comes first, so unless the guy bought an extended warranty (and I'm not even sure it's transferrable) it's out of warranty mate.
  21. the best bargains I've had on Ebay have been from outside the Uk anyway Also, in the case of the Nismo front bumper for example, it was useful to know who was interested on here and to make sure we all didn't end up paying over the odds for the item.
  22. Tim's in there already wonder what they have on their Pink Zed now then?
  23. at least we drive on the correct side of the road no you don't
