You don't need to match sub to speaker in terms of brand. Really you need to go to Halfrauds and have a play with their speakers on display, work out what sounds best to your ear, then come away and order from the interweb.

Exactly what I've got. I'm now thinking that they ARE the tickets, since they have the barcode already on them.

Yeah, thought pink would be your colour. ;)

I totally want to buy you a Nismo hat now.

Even the sodding emails from Japfest tell you that the tickets will be sent out! Honestly, what a shower of brown stuff.

:lol:

MR2 mk3 turbo conversion (not mine, a mate's car). US supplier forgot to ship a connecting pipe for the IC. Halfway through conversion. Car had to be back on the road that day. Took WD40 can, cut it in half, used one piece as the connecting pipe for a temp fix. Car stayed like that for 40k miles and two years until it was written off on the M25

I'd use carb cleaner for the lot. Works a treat but won't damage anything if you get a bit over zealous with the spray.

RX8 yes, and a stripped one is great fun on track. However at that price point you're almost certainly going to be buying one that needs a rebuild, plus you'll want the Sohn adaptor to feed the engine with separate 2 stroke, plus the Corvette ignition coils etc just to get it to a reliable state. I personally wouldn't buy one that cheap for track use if you're not going to spend money upgrading it to keep it for a while. Clio? Okay so FWD, but different and can take the wheels & tools.

*tumbleweed* Actually since you've got them both off, what's the weight difference between the two with tyres on? I know the Nismos are quite light and the stock wheels quite heavy, so I wonder if you're no worse off actually running the bigger wheels anyway.

If it was me, and it was when I owned mine, I'd change the master cylinder at the same time. No more effort, and since the real ballache is the bleeding of the system afterwards it makes sense to do both as you really don't want to come back and have to do that again...

Sorry, they said no Tight fisted old f*ckers.

I'll ask them

My mummy and daddy insured my first car for me, I've no idea how much it was

Agreed, I'd rather the screen was up higher too. Maybe put the vents between screen and HVAC controls?

I'm not convinced routing the air vents that low down is a good idea. Do they have enough tilt to aim at your hands and face from that angle?

And that, ladies and gents, is why the manual is the best option bar none.

Well, it's what all the cool kids do

They do, it's called your right foot My Bummer also has the reduced rev limit thing. No idea if it's an actual limiter mind, because there's no way I'm going to thrash a cold engine just to find out.

He can try, I reckon it was the only vehicle on the road that could run into the Bummer and be the heavier one of the two

It's retarded.

*rant* This rev matching thing is doing my nut in now. I don't have an issue with it existing, and on the 370 you can at least turn it off, but now other manufacturers are in on it. Porsche, for example, have this in their sports cars now but it only comes in when you turn on Sport mode. Fine, no problems there. However, if you want Sport mode (so sharper throttle, looser TCS limits) you have to have the revmatch on, even if you don't want it! Only way to turn it off in Sport? Turn ALL the TCS systems off completely. Utterly ridiculous. */rant*

Still no pics I can upload, but I promise it's not an April Fool. Wish it was, mind.

So today I bought some parts for the car, which is one step closer to getting it back on the road. However, I bought parts for the wrong end: New bootlid specifically so I can run a BGW and not wreck the original! Never let it be said that I do things the right way round. Car is still sat on the driveway, insurance going nowhere fast, tbh I might just get it repaired and take the other guy to court myself.
