Chappers Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i spent a fair few hours helping him keep the mx5 alive and on the road, i hope i get the chance to help with this one... Haha I told you, you're chief mechanic. I've forgotten all the hands on stuff now that I'm a PR fairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 for public information this man never had the hands on knowledge in the first place saying that after the brake pad changing fiasco on the mx5 im sure we've proven brakes are not our strong point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 always liked them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 updated with a video he did for the engine sound in the cabin. had a ride in it the other day and all i can say is i was scared for my life it defies the laws of physics completely. was glad to have my feet back on the ground afterward though fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Very quick, very capable, very fragile. I looked into buying one a year or so ago after playing around with a friend's M400, but just couldn't live with the interior (Transit switchgear and a tiny dead pedal) nor how often things break on them.

GT4 Zed Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 WTF with the video Lovely but too compromised as a GT. there though faster its not in the same mould as a zed and as such I will never consider one. A SC or TT zed will be more appealing for the cost difference. I think your mate will struggle or the bike will go for a cheap run around If i wanted an out and out second car/track weapon then the ultima GTR is it! I checked insurance out of interest when i saw a 520BHP 2004 sub 6K miles example going for £38K on PH...................it was £350 limited 3k miles a year Couple that to strong residuals you have a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 my mates dad had a m12 GTO, it was fantastic Did that used to live on the Marina? There was a blue M12 parked near my mates place. His was purple and he lived in Seaton, they car as common as muck in Hartlepool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 why is the date inverted at the top of the video? Did someone have his phone upside down again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 why is the date inverted at the top of the video? Did someone have his phone upside down again? it was one of those key chain cams, i think this was the first vid he'd done as it only just arrived, just stuffed it inbetween the roll bar and roof i think.

Chappers Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Lol! Yeah I pretty much just jammed the KR cam in between the rollcage and the roof, it's all about the sounds anyway... better vids to come! I will most likely get a crappy diesel pug or something as a runaround. As for the Ultima... wtf? As much as i'd love to pull another £18k out of my bum, I'll stick with the Noble thanks Anyone know how to get the date to go away completely?

Chappers Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9ZFkO4TSIY Did another vid. Not much in the way of sound though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 like the new vid as for the ultima, my mate used to build them, he ahd one pushing out silly power. i think something like 600 bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 the front bumper one looked good, just needs the engine sounds really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350ash Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The new video looks good, mounting the camera so low down also makes it lot a lot faster, although I suspect it would have looked quite fast anyway. About halfway through the video I thought those roads looked familiar and by the end I'd worked out where you were, think I may have to take my zed for a spin along there soon.
