Happy birthday mate!

+1 What is it?

HPI'd it yet?

Epic fail there then! Posted it right up on here didn't you

Looks very nice

Tour de Ben is on! Best get riding then... Also, any outdoor types reading this, Dash4it map shop have a big discount on today only, I've just ordered a new set of laminated lakes maps 35% off plus 6% off with code 6TODAY http://www.dash4it.co.uk

And not the sarcasm! iphone fail!

Who is the artist? Doh!

Will defo get it booked this weekend. You might be part of the Orange gang, but after the first couple of hills we won't see Chris and Adam for long!

Well you'd better get practising then hadn't you? Shall we abroad again next year?

Really want to go up scotland and do some back country stuff, partly the reason for doing the tour-de-ben. There's some absoloute epic stuff up around Torridon and Fisherfield.

Just looking at doing a couple of events this year, primarily this: The Tour de Ben Nevis! Also I noticed there was a nice little warm up event nearby a fortnight before. Well, near-ish, especially as the crow flies! And hopefully, on the first weekend in June, i'll be crossing the Lake district again as part of the Greyhound challenge from Shap to Grizebeck. Think I posted some pics in this thread from last years event: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/37074-bikes-the-awful-kind-with-no-engines/page__st__800#entry891773 Still not done yet! I was considering doing The Rat Race Crossing http://www.ratracecrossing.com/, but as it costs near £400, I thought I'd maybe save that and bivvy it or something over a long weekend? Their route doesn't look the most exciting I have to say, needs more gnar! So then, any takers want to come with?

I guess that was featured because the Bespoked handmade bike show was on in Bristol last weekend: http://www.bespokedbristol.co.uk/

From the wiki: VQ37VHR VQ37VHR It was the first production engine from Nissan using VVEL. It has an increased compression ratio of 11.0:1, with 3,696 cc (225.5 cu in) displacement (95.5 mm bore and 86 mm stroke), while redline remains at 7600 rpm. It is rated at up to 337 PS (248 kW; 332 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 37.2 kg·m (365 N·m; 269 lb·ft) at 5200 rpm. Although the engine gains only 0.2 kg·m (2 N·m; 1 lb·ft) peak torque over the VQ35HR and this higher torque arrives at 5200 rpm vs. 4800 in the VQ35HR, the torque curve itself is improved and flattened via VVEL variable valve timing for better throttle response and low rpm torque. The VQ37VHR engine has been touted by car magazines and reviewers as an improvement over the VQ35HR engine mostly adding much refinement and smoother engine operation, especially at high rpm where the VQ35HR engine was frequently criticized for NVH and sounding strained, harsh and loud.

Looks just like the one that some nobber put in the armco at my trackday at Cadwell Have fun guys! P.S. I think you've missed the point but great attitude there mate, you will go far on this forum. Sorry Will, just had to chuckle at that:

Ah, ok. Cheers Al, I didn't know if a re-bedding was possible or not. Will have to try that then. I know Tophooker is on the forum but he's totally the wrong end of the country for me.

RIEEY is not ace enough to fend of the thin blue line. Your current one is miles better.

The ol' brake discs seem to have developed a bit of a shimmy through the pedal over the winter, I'm guessing there's some pad deposit on the disc from the long weeks of storage. This is despite not leaving the brakes on and just leaving it in gear. There appears to be ProCut garages nearby, but what's the normal cost Vs upgrading the front discs? I still have the originals on the car, done 22K so far and otherwise look fine really. Am I changing pads whatever?

Don't let Bennett near it you nutters! Oh, and nice Cumberland ring Mr. Smurf....

Richard Feynman.

Yes to both, for many years when I was at school. Still got various hobby remnants around the house too...

Thank for representing the Forum guys, must have been a tough day emotionally. I've put a few quid in the pot for the Marsden too.

Spotted a nice ginger nismo kitted Zed near Hamburg Airport, even had some black LMGT4s on it, and a fruity 'zorst.
