  1. Well, if it makes you feel any better I don't think that's too excessive, and it's still a great car you'll love
  2. A grit guard adds nothing more than simply not plunging your whole hand to the bottom of the bucket doesn't achieve for free.
  3. The fact you're coming back to the same place despite looking at others in the area suggests it is worth a premium. Either they're happy to wait and get the price they want, or they're not: Nothing you can do will change that. There's no harm at all in making an offer to them outright whilst you're there, you may well find that there's a common ground you're happy to meet in the middle at which you wouldn't get to if you make offers via agents. We did with our house, and got the deal we wanted. Also as it's a home not a BTL, you need to consider just how much you want to live there. BTLs or investments can be viewed with cold eyes, whereas homes sucker you in! I'd pay above market for somewhere I really wanted if I thought it was perfect and could afford it, I don't get the hang up about people having to drive a bargain everywhere. THIS THIS THIS. You absolutely must check this out first before getting too advanced, as otherwise you may end up stuffed. As for the increase, very possible. Looking at the market, we've 'made' approx £70K in two years on our place, which is about a 35% increase. We did get a bargain though, so the exception rather than the rule.
  4. Depends on the tyre you're planning on using: Some walls stick out further than others.
  5. Easy way to check is look at your rev limit. It's 6500 on a DE and 7000 on a Revup, and then 7500 on an HR. How much did you pay, may I ask?
  6. Bubbles != a good shampoo. The best I've ever found was a pH neutral one by Wolfs IIRC, practically zero bubbles but wonderfully smooth. Not seen it for years though sadly. Right now I'm sticking firmly with Envy's own shampoo, by far the closest I've found and does a superb job. http://www.envyvaleting.co.uk/products-info.asp?id=295
  7. Given the price he wants for it, I think I'll be taking his second offer instead and fornicating away.
  8. £1500 for a clutch fitted sounds awfully pricey to me, is it really that much? I think it would be a huge shame to break a HR where the only issue is a clutch and a squiffy gearbox, but I can see your reasoning.
  9. And probably check your pics work before posting
  10. You need to submit this in the For Sale section and abide by the rules of that section.
  11. Pop up lights are infinitely cool. Hope that NSX was a manual!
  12. Never anger the gods of Google!
  13. Shan't :p We all have off days mate, and sometimes it's hard to remember not to drag that with you when you're out with you're mates. Doesn't matter if pub or internet, same thing applies.
  14. Why? Surely you'd at least ask for a quote before writing them off.
  15. I'm not sure who's more mad, the current or first owner
  16. Erm, if you've never revved the car to the rev limiter then you really need to be doing that: Sitting at low rpms isn't a good thing for modern engines at all. They're designed to be used properly, so don't be afraid to bang the limiter every now and then.
  17. Look under the bonnet, if you have two air intakes then it's an HR. Looking at the bonnet hump that's very likely, but not impossible to swap. Also, if your car revs to 7500 it's definitely an HR.
  18. Indeed, if it's a HR don't worry about it.
  19. Absolutely impossible to say, as Rich says some engines differ the second they come out of the factory! Not to mention how different dynos on different days will give different readings.
  20. I don't know how Android phones work, but can you not just erase it and restore from a back up?
