Glad I went to JAE yesterday ! Hope you guys there today don't get too wet. Kinda spoilt my house painting plans for today though - may have to fix the Xantia brakes and the go to the pub instead ..... :D

How come when they close one or more lanes for road works, they also reduce the speed limit? This only causes congestion. :slap: Obviously you need to RAISE the speed limit- for example on a 2-lane A road, if they shut down one of the lanes you need to raise the limit to 140mph to get the same amount of traffic through! :rofl:

I want to get a portable sat nav system in my car, but i dont know which one to go for as there are loads of choices, my mates just bought one that you dont need to registra and it only cost £279 but befor i buy one i would like to know other peoples thought and advice. Thanks in advance.

Not that I'm jealous or anything but just got this postcard from the lads at JAE, say they are having a wonderful time:

Got this turbo off ebay. Just wondering how hard it is to re-route the Zeds piping to fit it in. Thought I might put the turbo in the boot and buy 10 sets of smithy's shiny pipes to connect it. If I fill the boot with water that will help with cooling to. Might need bigger induction and exhaust to match it. Has anyone done a similar upgrade? what was the lag like?? Dave :smash:

Hi All. Can someone send me a test email to: neil@ontaps.co.uk as it does not seem to be working. Any ideas welcome. I am on AOL. HELP.

Go out this morning to do the wiring on my PTU, I have the series2 PTU and wanted to get rid of the wiring adaptor and solder the wires, do all that and the car wont start, wont turn over at all so spent the day pulling my hair out, redoing everything and thinking maybe its something completely different thats wrong.

Below is a quote from UJCC (Ultimate jap car club forum). This happened before I joined but looks to be a very good meet that barrie (rip) would have loved. I will be doing all I can to get there, it would be nice if some others here go to. Dave As many of you know, earlier this year we lost a great friend and member of ours in a tragic car accident.... Barrie Harcombe aka Bazdaman on the forums. I won't go into great detail about this again, if you wish to know more then view this thread.... http://ultimatejapcars.co.uk/forum//index.php?showtopic=8086 As a mark of respect for Barrie we are going to hold a MASSIVE meet for him as we know he would…

From Wed 29th June roadworks will commence on M1 between J20 and J21. Lower-noise surfacing begins on Fri 8th July. Will take 20 weeks :eek: Advance work will start Wed 29th but will not affect road users. Traffic management starts on Fri 8th July and involves 24-hour work with 3 lanes of traffic open in both directions using narrow lanes and contra-flows. A 24-hour 40MPH speed limit will be in operation. SPECS cameras will monitor average speeds along this route and anyone exceeding an average of 40 will be liable to prosecution. Over and out.
