  1. Fair play for being honest Sounds very much like you're still running off the release agent on the tyres, it should get significantly better over time. Give it 500 miles and if it's still not sorted then you've got a different problem. Give serious consideration to running FK452 at the front as well, it will make a massive amount of difference. Right now in the dry you'll oversteer, and in the wet you'll understeer. Probably the better way round to do it, but still...
  2. List of possible issues: 1. Mixed tyres. You have different grip levels front to back, so it makes progressive driving awkward. You had this before, but you've changed brands again so you're still treading the unknown. What Bridgestone did you have on there before, RE040 or RE050? Massive differences between the two. 2. Tyre pressures. Check them. 3. Tyre sizes. As people have said above, check them. 4. Road conditions. Does this happen in the wet, the dry, or both? Every time round the same corner? You may find you're being a bit heavy footed and not adjusting to the road conditions as we swing from summer to winter.
  3. *wanders through thread, whistling nonchalantly*
  4. Very sad. If only Senna had listened to him after Ratzenberger died...
  5. New adaptor will see serious money coming their way, much in the same way Sony always produce their own funny formats. In fairness, their old 30-pin adaptor is over 9 years old so it was due an update, and whilst it would've been nice if they'd gone for micro USB it's not a deal breaker for me. You can buy an adaptor for micro USB if you really want to, I may even pick one up myself. No-one needs 700k apps, but it's nice to have the choice. Is stuff like the S3 et al any cheaper than the iPhone anymore? Genuine question, I have no idea. iPhone 5 is £529 with no contract and 16GB.
  6. To be honest, it's a bit pony. No NFC, no better camera, no amazing iOS functions. It's not the trend setter it once was. That said, it's still the best phone on the market for me, so I'll be queuing next Friday.

    Checked the fluid level first? You can try using Google to search for the post you're after if the search function on here isn't working, use site:www.350z-uk.com in the Google search box
  8. STOP GIVING WOMEN YOUR PASSWORDS YOU 'TARD
  9. That is genius, what a top idea.
  10. In the Ibiza? Surely better on the paintwork than the dash I hope he used it on the interior, it would make a right mess if you used it outside!
  11. Just what's left after I rub it into my chest hair
  12. I use it too, lovely stuff. Smells pretty good too
  13. The FFRR isn't lighter than a 3-series or a Mini Countryman: The monocoque chassis of the FFRR is lighter than a fully built 3-series or Mini Fatman. It's still a massive car, it just weighs a lot less than it used to.
  14. That's a very good point actually, when those new engines come in it's basically going to be like a massive reset on reliability. We'll have pretty much no idea who will have the decent engines, and same again with regards to pace. Going to be a tough season to call, even more so than now.
  15. What is this based on? The pre-contract that Vettel and Ferrari have signed, albeit with performance-based clauses in it which it looks like both will be hitting this year at least. Good race to watch yesterday, shame about Button and the RBs but that Sauber was immense today.
  16. Get the code read, stay under 3K revs, chuck a bottle of octane booster in there.
  17. That has to be a member's car surely? Bose hack, PSS, DBA discs... Wonderful spec.
  18. Yup, it really does search the Internet brilliantly
  19. Oh yeah, it's a massive warehouse but the front end is dedicated to trying stuff. Loads of seats, steering wheels etc to play with, and a good selection of helmets and racewear off the rack too.
  20. Oil leak appears to be getting worse I may have to do something about this sooner rather than later, and now I'm just praying it's the front one that's getting worse as that's a hell of a lot easier than the rear... Wasn't too happy on a hot start today either, thing wanted to practically stall if you left it alone. Drove up the road and it was fine though, so not sure what's going on there. It was fine this morning, but I'll have a hunt around for air leaks too just in case.
  21. Ironically the best place to go for that is Demon Tweeks in Wrexham, they've got loads in stock for you to try. Make a weekend of it and enjoy the local roads, well worth it.
  22. As discussed before though, it doesn't mean anything like that. It's referring to putting quality parts on in a few specific places, rather than having to keep a car 100% original.
