  1. I think they will be great on a show car, but IMO I don't think they will last with the heat of anyone who actually uses their brakes. Look what happens to a polished exhaust when put through a few heat cycles. May be worth selling them with some kind of clause saying that they are for cosmetic use only & may not be suitable for regular road/track use, to cover your back. Or a 1min or 1metre warantee Otherwise you may end up having a life long job of re polishing the same set of calipers..
  2. 10w 60 that will make some pressure when cold,
  3. With Alex on this one, so long as the wheel nuts are good it's probably the pads, most aftermarket pads have a slightly looser fitting , which is not always a bad thing as it reduces the chances of them binding
  4. Not to late Dave, the just giving runs for a further 60days or so The video is now not hi res. It was before I uploaded it but isn`t now
  5. Blue light cabs rule, prepaid via your income tax On a more serious note I`m just uploading the hi res video to youtube of the abseil. Unfortunately I can`t post any of the after party videos on a family friendly forum
  6. I refer you to my earlier post oh the one from the back of the taxi?
  7. Would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who has helped me along the way with this great event, heres the video, it`s lost resolution somehow but I`m to hungover to change it now
  8. Done it, 4bounces & I was down in a matter of seconds, video to follow
  9. Thanks for the support guys & girls, I need it. Was up in a scissor lift today, about 40ft & was NOT happy. I`m going to need pushing over the edge tomorrow
  10. Come on you lot, only 3days to go, I need some more help with donations Also if anyone's interested there's a few of us going for a couple of beers In town if I make it down in one piece
  11. Of course you can and I could take you for a spin in the Zed after Cheers all very happy @ Darren hope the weather holds mate - let us know. Didn`t get to drive it yesterday as it started raining just before I arrived, but it is a beautiful car, bright orange with orange roll cage, I`m hoping to have another chance one evening in the week if it`s dry
  12. Never heard of. A head gasket going on a na zed. The cream pie is probably down to condensation in the rockers due to the low mileage & being kept outside. Probably a sound car.
  13. Was it all noisy all the time you were moving or just when pulling away or changing gear. It`s more likely to be a hot clutch making the noise. Unless you have been drifting or spinning up the wheels? My mates mk1 mx5 used to make a "grumbly" noise when given some stick. If so i`d get the fluid changed to see if that will cure the problem
  14. Spotted a nice 10reg black 370z this evening @ medway city estate, anyone on here?
  15. Nice one Chris Just in time for winter to I`m off to drive a 997 gt3 rs tomorrow if it stays dry for long enough. It will be nice to compare to the Z
  16. Bump Anymore kind people willing to sponsor me for this event? Only 1 week until I step backwards off the ledge
  17. Well I`ve just been out this evening to scrub in my new set of SS`s. All I can say on here is "It was the most fun I`ve had in 6weeks & the grip levels in the dry are outstanding!" I paid £760 for mine & that included the disposal of the old tyres, new valves & balance. Plus it was done by someone I can trust, so was able to leave the car with him, knowing that it wouldn`t be driven or toyed with & an added bonus it was cleaned inside & out
  18. I just fitted my set of super sports on the weekend. Only driven it in the wet & they are outstanding. Great feedback & drip, they almost take everything in 3rd
  19. I know slightly off topic, but is there an easy way of limiting a DE to a valet type mode? maybe by pulling a connection plug off of somewhere? MAF?
  20. If you pay 250 for the bonnet & bumper, unless that's mates rates I doubt very much that you will be happy. If it was me I would be asking for it to be blended & flat polished as part of the job. May as well do it properly. Where abouts are you?
