  1. See, an RB kit on the Cube could actually work. Give some angles to it.
  2. Isn't vandalism Cat U? I.e. not reported. Cat U just means the car isn't owned by an insurance company, i.e. there was no insurance in place for it, but the damage to it would cause it to be a write off if it were reported.
  3. For a fat ugly arse, I'd say the 350Z ragtop has it beaten hands down.
  4. Don't go used, waste of time and money as the cost is in the labour to fit. Exedy clutch/fly combo would be my pick.
  5. My car is modified??? Apart from some different paint it's stock :S Current mods in order of fitment and purchase dates - Stubby, Carbon dipped interior parts, Carbon mirror covers,Carbon B pillars,Grooved Black Diamond discs/pads, MPSS Set with Refurbed Rays - changed colour to anthracite, Gold lightweight nuts That's modified.
  6. When something is ugly, it's ugly. No-one ever sits there and goes "That Diane Abbott, she's a right looker don't you think?". Well, not any sane person anyway.
  7. Ring them up, it'll be quicker. They may well not be able to cover you though, given your age and the fact your car is modified.
  8. Depends on how hard you are on the brakes, really. I'm very light, others are very heavy. Never used the Orange myself, I have tried the Yellows on track and they would easy stand up to a few days worth of abuse. I'd expect the Orange to be even better tbh, and really it's the fluid you need to be more worried about than the pads falling apart: It's very easy to overheat the fluid on a 350, especially if you're hard on the brakes (or if you're not: On a proper TD at the Ring I boiled mine, and the Ring isn't hard on brakes at all). I'm very surprised you killed a set of OEM pads in just three sessions, are you using very aggressive discs? Personally I'd be running ATE 200 fluid as minimum, plus braided lines and whatever choice of vented disc you fancy.
  9. Yup, as you've changed the balance of grip between front and rear.
  10. Throwing more glue and tat at a poor design doesn't improve it. That is absolutely gopping. Honestly, these things are the Veilside of the '10s.
  11. Almost certainly. As I said on FB, I think you'd be better off just getting it wrapped rather than attempting to fix the paint.

    I didn't realise that the brakelines were different between Brembo and non-Brembo. Ignore me then, Kyle gives the correct answer.
  13. I had a chat with CG last week regarding tyres, as I'm thinking of moving to Cup2s (which apparently isn't really doable unless you're running a minimum of 2deg neg camber all round, as it requires a certain contact patch to achieve the correct grip levels. Anything under that and you'll simply wear the tyre too quickly in the wrong places) and I asked them their opinions on the regular MPS4. The consensus was that they're significantly better than the MPSS, mostly due to using the same 4-compound construction as the Cup2s rather than the 2-compound construction in the MPSS. I mention this as the guy in the link says that he couldn't tell the difference between MPSS and MPS4S, which kinda contradicts that. Michelins are also quite noisy road tyres (their one big downfall), so it's surprising to hear him say that he found road noise minimal on the 4S. That said, road noise is subjective. That's not to knock the quality of the review at all, and indeed he clearly knows his stuff, just quirks of different opinions is all. Interesting how he says that 18" and 17" are coming in 2018, which I find to be both very good news and also very surprising. Personally I'll be amazed if they do, but it certainly makes tyre choice for next year interesting. For now, I'm keen to try the MPS4 and see what they're like.

    I'd be amazed if they were any different, given that JDM and UK cars are the same so UK and AUS cars should be just as identical.
  15. TLOU2 won't be this year, no chance. Although it will still be out before GT7
  16. Is it height adjustable? Even on non-adjustable suspension, they'll work wonders. They transformed my 911 from generic understeer sportscar into nimble rear-biased throttle-steerable hero.
  17. +1 on Drake Hotline Bling has to be the biggest pile of junk released for some time. And that other song he did that nearly beat Bryan Adam's record, that was bland as anything.
  18. Nope, still not seeing a valid reason to increase costs for the Club, sorry. How cheap do you think it should be? If it was a paid option here, would you take that offer up? Being in IT, I assume you have many different ways to store your pics already anyway.
  19. There are still many other options, plus I don't think coughing up just because of one person is worth it.
  20. Yes, I'd like to know why the Club should spend more when there are plenty of free options for users out there? That was my first question, and one you didn't answer.
  21. Why don't you get some more quotes and see how it compares? We have no idea of your finances, and what kind of cover you actually require. Plus, all you end up with is a billion people posting about how it's either a really good deal because they're the same age but are paying £27M per month, or how it's a rip off because they only 13 and paying 27p every 10 years.
  22. Why should the club have to shell out money when there are plenty of free options out there for people to use? 256k is plenty, no pic needs to be bigger than that, and tbh it's not like most people only use this place and nowhere else. If you open up the limits then people will just take the p*ss, as it stands the limit is perfectly usable for all but the very biggest of files.
