Saw this on another forum........... Please read the below email and pass on - Dear All, We are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea: This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy petrol on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan…

What do ppl think about this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2480150163&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT in combination with this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2479898133&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Good value? tacky? and beacause it's carbon would I have to put in those big stupid horrible bonnet pins? mines is midnight blue, so the black carbon one wouldnt look to bad, I have some laquer peeling on my bonnet which means a quick spray job or maybe summink like this. I might go for this if not too many people go - 'omfg! get back to the fast and furious videos…

The easy way to calculate for cars Miles Per Gallon (MPG) http://www.geocities.com/mpgcalc

i know a few are thinking about getting one, so just a warning for those who like the newest toys lol, ive just rang them as i saw a new version advertised and they put me in touch with a supplier of theirs, as i wanted to know if they would trade my old one in, so they're giving me £200 against the old version the old one still works exactly the same, just a few mods to the new one the laser alert is now part of the new one, not an add on, it has the option of voice warnings a more compact unit, now also warns for schools BUT the old version memebrship was free for 12 months, then £49 per year, £79 for two years or £99 for life the new one is £50 per year £99…

T-Bar sections - Rubber Starting to crack! Is their any tape that is good to put over the edges of the T-Bar section? Do new rubbers cost a lot? I have highlighted in yellow the areas that need help, any ideas would be welcome. Thanks :cry:

Absolutely gutted :( Just shunted the zed. I went into the back of someone on the motorway today, the usual palava, everybody suddenly brakes for some unknown reason :mad: further up the queue and I got caught out. Couldnt go left or right as there was a car alongside me and the central reserve on the other side. Hit the cars left hand rear, my right side front. I'll post some pictures up later when my camera has charged with a plea for advice :) Reckon its repairable but I dont need this :( It still drives, after I freed up the LHS intake hoses. Will need new bumper, headlight, foglight, wing, bonnet, and some work on the cross member above the headlight, …

OK lets see if we ca get this without a war. :( There are 100s of parts and gadgets out there for your car, and I am sure most are to catch the punters more than to actualy help the car. so. Question? What parts truly make the car perform better (are the best) in these 3 catagories. Make it go like stink. Make it stop like (ahh my nose is broke) And make it corner like its a slot car Come on guys, think, if ya had to make the car perform in thoes 3 areas, what would you need to have :bow:

Changed the PCV Valves and all the hoses at the weekend (fun job not) anyway my valves were all ok so if anybody wants the old ones there welcome to them FOC

Just thinking about the engine for sale....... Any ideas on cost for a rebuild, new parts like pistons, cams, crank, rods, bearings etc. Cost of refurbing the tubs ? Or just get some new bigger ones ? Mark

Cheers fella much appreciate your work yesterday!! :D Had the Z chipped yesterday, old one out and custom one in........ .....Scary point was the one that came out was labelled up 'Prima' on the top and this was on a piggyback board which was labelled up 'Super Chip'. From memory super chips are a bad thing (still true??) Anyway the Z seems much, much better through the range although the boost tops at roughly 13psi on a stock boost gauge!! (off the scale and then some on the old chip) power delivery seems good right through to the top now. :D John you have PM (why do people put that?? Anyway..:)..) Cheers again bud. Matty.

Anyone got a set they can let me have, or alternitively a link to a site with some posted?

I went on a bike awareness day today organised by the local police, started at 7 am, pissing with rain and looking well moody. By the time the classroom stuff had been done, 9am, sun splitting the trees, out on my Firestorm with a bike cop following me for 6 hours giving it the absolute berries, had to fill up twice while I was out, what a blinding day. The "rules of engagement" were that 30/40/50 limits had to be observed (which I tend to do anyway, Honestly ;)) but the rest of the day it was more "playful" took me a bit of time to trust in the fact that it wasnt a setup and the guy wasnt going to nick me, and the look on some motorists faces, me blasting by on an open p…

Here's to a colleague and a friend, who died fighting a fire, my thoughts are with his Wife, Son and Daughter!
