  1. Go to Ariotek Buy webspace and domain name from them Design website elsewhere either via code or WYSIWYG editor Upload Done Great hosting, good prices, I've been with them for a few years now from when they used to be called Fuzioned and they were who I got recommended to me.
  2. You'll get very close to £3.5K with a bit of a haggle, for another £200 on top it's so worth it.
  3. Does it need to be fun? If so then a Clio 182, and if not then a Focus.
  4. Correct. Don't just go with what other people tell you though: If you feel, for example, that a 36F and 38R mix works well for your driving then go with that. Nothing wrong with having the pressures higher at the fronts if you want a little more understeer too, just have a play and stick with whatever you feel is comfortable.
  5. Start with +2psi on stock, but expect to run about +4psi to get rid of the slop.
  6. Tyre pressure isn't dictated by wheel size, it's done by what tyre you're running. Hard sidewalls need less pressure, soft sidewalls need more. What tyres are you running?
  7. Clicky for BBC News link Don't really think there's much more to add to that. A sobering read and something for some people to think about.
  8. 06? More than likely a 276bhp version, but tell us where the hazard light switch is and we'll tell you for sure.
  9. I think you mean Infinity Ward, and don't forget that most of the people who made 1, 2, MW1 & MW2 have now left IW so it's basically a brand new company making a CoD game. I wouldn't expect too much from it if I were you. I'll be giving this a miss, it's 95% an online shooter now which doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. SP gaming FTMFW.
  10. Pics you say...? I really must stop driving Anglesey in the pissing rain!
  11. Student edition via Adobe. Find a student, get them to buy it, job's a carrot. The other common methods are mostly illegal and may have to be edited out of existence if any one posts them
  12. If one of the RBs don't ram that smug greasy Spanish ***** off the road in Abu Dhabi I'm going to be very disappointed. ABA - ANYONE BUT ALONSO
  13. DON'T MIX TYRES IT'S BAD ENOUGH IN THE SUMMER, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO IT WHEN THE ROADS ARE EVEN WORSE? AND YES I KNOW I'M SHOUTING
  14. Although there is one thing that owning a Nissan over a Porsche gives you: People actually letting you out at junctions! Oh I wish I was just kidding, but on numerous occasions now I've seen people clock that I'm in a 911 and all bunch up to not let me out. In the 350Z that was never a problem at all, the car just didn't have that aura of "I'm a flash w*nker so you should let me in, you peasants!" that the 911 has. It's irritating as I'm a pretty courteous driver myself and always make the effort not to drive like a typical Porsche-owning ****, but that's their failing not mine.
  15. Sorry, missed that question first time round. Tbh I'm not missing the Zed one little bit right now, but then I'm still in WOW-NEW-CAR mode so that's not entirely surprising. What I am surprised about is that I'm not missing top-down driving at all, which is very weird for me coming from 7 years of only owning convertible cars. In all fairness it wouldn't even be right to compare the Zed to the 911 as the costs are just night and day unless buying a brand new Zed and an early 997. That said, you asked...! The 911 is in every single way better than the Zed. It makes a better noise, it stops better, it goes better, it corners better, it's more comfortable, it's better on fuel, the dealer network is fantastic, and it gets more attention than the Zed did which is a bit surprising. Normally when you get into a car you can kinda work out where you want/need to spend money to get it to where you want it to be, but that's just not the case here. Maybe I'd like more exhaust noise in the future, but for now the flat-six is glorious. If I wanted more power/better handling there's the GT3, but then I'd lose the extra cosseting a vanilla 911 gives you over long distance and also the wonderful PDK box. Outright more power could come from a Turbo, but then you lose the purity of the NA engine. The brakes just don't give up in the same way the brakes on the Zed do so I see no reason at all to touch them, and that's usually the first place I change things. If I could change just one thing on the 911 it would be to swap the RE050As to MPS2s, but that's just because I have more faith and experience in them: There's nothing at all wrong with the Bridgestones. And I'm still waiting for my flappy paddle wheel to turn up, so I've got that to look forward to as well!
  16. So you bought a load of cheap tat and are wondering if you should fit it or not because it's rubbish?! Fit the exhaust, don't fit the crappy induction kit. Exhaust is after engine and can do very little damage if it goes wrong, whereas the induction kit...
  17. Personally I'd get a 370Z over even the TTRS, never mind the TTS. They're both so much poorer than they should've been, and personally I think the standard TT is the best buy out of the range. Shame there's no more V6 though @Colin: I'm not saying that the 370 is horrible to drive in for long distances at all, it's actually fine for that as you've discovered. What I'm saying is that Nissan still have some way to go to capture that premium segment of the marketplace, and whilst their ads highlighting that the 370 is quicker than it's contemporaries was a lovely piece of marketing, it also shows that their budget was spent on the engineering side rather than the touring side. For me that's absolutely where the money should be spent and they got it bang-on when prioritising, however there are times when you simply want less noise in the cabin. An Elise is a perfectly comfortable place to tour the world in, but that doesn't mean it does it better than X car. It's all about what you find acceptable and what you want from a car, as nothing is perfect and we all make compromises in anything we drive. The 370Z is a very good car, and no-one on either here or PH has said otherwise.
  18. subjective, but what's not is it's a bore of a car. A TT being boring is subjective, having measurably less levels of NVH isn't.
  19. Wait, you actually paid for that? After you saw it? Seriously?
  20. TT is miles ahead of the 370 in terms of NVH, sorry.
  21. Dire Straits are awesome, full stop.
  22. That Sunscreen song is the single most appalling piece of 'music' I have heard in recent years. Words cannot describe just how deep my loathing for it runs. It's utterly, utterly dull, boring and patronising. So yeah, I'm not keen.
  23. Not a bad idea. The only downside is that you'll end up with a section of nothing but praise, as people tend to only write good things about stuff they've paid actual money for.
