Nice one Flirt, glad to hear the beast is a runnin (and no more MX5 )

Happy Birthday Phil All the best men are Libras

Sorry to hear that Andy. F'in people that cant pay attention

Ta. Was google earthing it, but there were a few that I thought could be the candidates

Can someone who knows the area and route better than me tell me where the layby is that we stop just outside of Betws Y Coed? I've got some new satnav software on my car PC that allows for much better way points and seeing as though I missed this last time, I want to make it as accurate as possible this time

I have a glimour and it works with limited success. As I see it the Zed has very thin paint to start with, so anything that can help remove or even loosen the dirt before washing has to be good for the paint.

You wont get pulled by the boys in blue so much as they dont tend to know what it is! And as you say its stylish so they dont think its a chav mobile which is their normal target. Hope you enjoy it

Awesome! On a more serious note, Dysons are extremely dismantlable and work much better after a good taking apart and cleaning

That looks fine for a warmed up car. Warmed up it will sit on the first quarter marker (cant remember the number), driving normally it will sit around mid way and booting it will make it head upwards. When cold obviously the pressure will be a lot higher. .

+1 - you can get a used Nismo for that much

Something is wrong. I get more heat from the base of mine than that back. If you get no heat from the base, something aint working.

Will be about £200 if you want the pop charger and polished intake tube

Yup, cant make this month as we're in Wales, but should be free next month

Thats no excuse! I do 75 miles a day in mine and my baby is never in that state You cruel bar steward

Is the "recharge kit" just a bit of cleaner and filter additive like you get for all cotton filters or is it something special?

Looks quite good

Was the bonnet at least up? That is a bit poor as it does restrict airflow if the bonnect is down and there is no fan. Also, not heard of a DYNOmite dyno before, might be worth doing a bit of googling and see if they tend to over or under read compared to others. Dyno Dyamics are what most people get them tested on, they seem to be the most consistent.

Err, are there 2 flirts? We got one at 10 and one at 33 Hope the turbos are working right this time, not sure he could handle being in an MX5 again

Ageed, yet another dangerous pit kalamity! Drive through penalty They got more for using the pit lane when it was closed! Surely dangerous behavior is worthy of a bigger penalty! He was last anyway!

I thought that was VASCAR,it works as follows, you pass a set point and they start a stopwatch, they pass the same point and start the distance measure, you pass the second point and they stop a stopwatch, they pass the second point and stop the distance counter (all this in the VASCAR unit - alternatively they can pre-input a distance and just start and stop the clock over the distance ) they now have time over a distance and VASCAR crunches out the speed. I just wondered how this thing was operated. They see you pass a bridge or start???? see you pass and stop????? Obviously parallax type errors and reaction times would make an impact. Just my suspicious mind in operation perhaps. If I was 2 mph over a ban limit and it hadn't been done with something very reliable I would be kicking and screaming all the way to court..... I don't know the intricacies of it all, but I guess he followed me as I passed under one bridge, started his gadget and as I passed under the second bridge (exactly half a mile away), stopped it. The onboard compooper system unit then calculated the time, distance and speed according to Archimedes counter rabbit principle law of Pythagoram, this then alerted him to the fact that Iwas indeed going very, very fast! They showed this on a past Traffic Cops programme. They are very highly trained in it, but there is some room for error. I would suspect that as you were close to the ban limit, but they couldnt prove it due to potential error in the system, and they didnt have a ticket, they let you go. As long as you werent driving dangerously, and they thought you had learnt your lesson, it most importantly saves them some paperwork.

Very lucky matey, glad you got away with it. I would have used the old "feeling threatened by a chasing car" excuse and that you booted it to get away safely

Saw your posts on my350z chaps, looking good! Will be interested to see how much Kev can do them for, as you say mynismo isnt the cheapest on postage!

I beleive under full throttle the air con is automatically shut off so not to hamper performance

Yup, yup and yup

+1 - no remap required, and it will give more mid range grunt and I beleive a tiny bit of top end power. ECU cant cancel it out as its not increasing the airflow to the engine, its just balancing it better between the cylinders.
