  1. No they are not. They're in Kilometers Per Litre. Easy way to work it out. KPL * 2.82 = MPG.

    There are specific laws for driving on the continent. Something like needing to have a full set of spare bulbs, a high vis jacket, a first aid kit and a warning triangle in the car at all times. Also you'll need some of those light diverters for your headlights... When i drove to the nurburgring i was paying around £1.65 a litre on average through Belgium and Germany. It might have dropped down now though, that was in 2011.
  3. WD40 isnt a penetrating fluid. Halfords have stopped selling Plus Gas, so i recently just used their off the shelf 3 in 1 penetrating spray. Sprayed on and on the same day the nuts wouldnt move, but seven days later they came straight off. With the Zed exhaust though you might be lucky to remove some of the bolts without cutting them out with a torch.
  4. Perfect time for an upgrade. I rarely replace upgradeable parts with stock.
  5. Yes but without exercise your muscles and your organs are not getting used efficiently and your body is going into starvation mode. these fad diets only last so long and then they will have a counter-effect. If you lose too much weight too quickly, you'll be left with a lot of loose skin which will look even worse and is harder to tone up. You need to have an equal balance of diet, exercise AND rest. You don't have to be a bodybuilder to lift weights at the gym, at the end of the day it will only make you stronger and healthier overall. Same with cardio - you don't have to be a long distance runner, but it will keep your heart running better. Just like your zed's engine Agree with all of that, but in a perfect world. In my life at least, i'm 'too busy' to dedicate lots of time to exercise, and i'm also very limited in what i can do due to a permanent spinal injury. I also know that i like my bad foods too much, so i could never stick to a healthy diet. So from where i'm sat, on Keto i get the best of both worlds.
  6. Plus Gas takes time. I needed to remove the backbox on my 911 last month, and i was swinging off the last nut for about an hour with no joy. A week later i came back to it, and it came off really easily.
  7. think you should see a doctor I have done, they said if it works for me, then stick at it. I've tried 10 different diets, none of which worked for me until i found Keto.
  8. Where does your energy come from if you have no carbs, and little fat? Your body fat stores?
  9. Oh i should point out - that weight loss is with ZERO exercise too.
  10. Seriously, i swear on my life!! I was the same and couldnt believe it when i discovered it last year. Read the following links and it'll change your life: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aiHSPoto_YqsNTDvL-g60nytMnyH-CJcCbiAx1IEUYM/edit http://www.reddit.com/r/keto
  11. I'm a bit of a yo-yo dieter myself, and the only thing i have ever had success with is a Keto diet. Basically not allowed to eat any sugar or carbs - ever. But you must eat 50% protein and 50% fat. Essentially, this makes Bacon the healthiest possible food you can eat. So bacon and eggs for breakfast is ideal, as a pork scratchings as a healthy snack. Want a bowl full of double cream for desert? Go for it! Eating the above diets (plus a few vegies,, lots of steaks and cheese etc) i can easily lose a couple of stone in a month. It's the future. I'm on it now actually. I started 10 days ago, and as of this morning i'm 10lb's down. The only reason i fall off it is due to work commitments and holidays really.
  12. The missus is away at the weekend... i think i'll give it another go.
  13. I've bought Titanfall. I played through the intro level but not touched it since (2 months). Seemed fairly boring to me, but i guess i should give it another chance.
  14. I've got a Canon EOS 1100D DSLR. Seems to be one of the cheapest on the market new (£260), so is likely to be within budget second hand. It's a very good camera.
  15. Maybe PM this guy who posted yesterday. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88602-disaster-radiator-help/
  16. Some cool stuff there and good prices. Note those reflectors are HR fit only.
  17. Does the value of the car matter at the time it's declared CAT D though? e.g. i might buy a CAT D 350z now, as it might only have £2-3k of damage (i.e. scratched panels). However for a 370z to be CAT D it would need to have £15k+ of damage wouldn't it? (unless it was stolen recovered).
  18. All bullshit, but fun to read non the less.
  19. Love it. Definitely prefer the look of the Rockets over the Exocet, but this looks ace. No more cars for me im afraid (for the next 3 or 4 years or so), i'm buying a house this year.
  20. Just get different wheels man, what a headache! Definitely dont change your brakes. I've had 2 zeds... the first with JDM brakes. Stock at first, and then upgraded with braided lines, DBA discs, Endless pads, and RBF 600 fluid, and they were still rubbish compared to my second zed which had Brembos (although again uprated all round).
  21. Ah man you've just brought back memories. When i was 6 or 7 my brother bought a Caterham 7 style kit car and he promised for years, once he finished it he would pick me up from school. ...fast forward to now and im 30 years old, and he'd still hasnt finished building it! He refuses to sell it, and is adamant he will finish it one day. Maybe he can pickup my grand kids instead?
  22. I also actually really fancy a MEV Rocket. Very Atom looking...! These can be picked up from sub £10k, but only a few newer examples for sale currently. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/kit-cars/mev/2-0-mev-rocket/2375766
  23. I wouldnt be buying a road car, i'd be buying something that i'd need to trailor to the track. Something like a single seater / hill climb / sprint car, very lightweight and fun in the corners. Couple of interesting ones on ebay... Space Frame chassis, plastic body, £6k!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RACE-CAR-HILLCLIMB-SPRINT-TRACK-CAR-/271381156498?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f2f93d292 Single Seater - £6k (i've seen loads better on PH but none on there currently within budget). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ray-Formula-Vee-Chassis-No-1-GAC-Engine-Single-Seater-Track-Day-Racing-Car-/390879555062?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item5b023cadf6
