My car is a 1990 Jap auto (not the very first model apparently) and has 225 50(I think) 16s all round. Is this correct?? I've had various opinions on this and am still unsure. I want to get this right as I currently have awful handling in the wet. Can I use UK rear wheels/tyres? Will this improve my traction at all?? Advice appreciated before it rains again... RobH

Hi All, My car got quite hot sat in traffic yesterday, when I parked and turned the ignition off it proceeded to drip clean water from an area in the centre of the car/front of passenger footwell area, one drip every 2 seconds or so. Is this normal? Is it aircon condensation ? Cheers, Drippy of Chester

Found this lot under my drivers seat when i dropped a screw down there!

How do i make a picture appear on a thread without putting it in my rides with a link?

Hey, I could use any help you can give on the purchasing of tires for the 300ZX. I'm in need of new tires and was looking into putting low profile tires/large rims on it. I'm just concerned a) tires will rub b) hard on tranny? c) bad handling. I was looking at getting 18X9 Enkei Type RPO-1 Rims with 235/40/18 Goodyear GS-D2's... Any suggestions or prior experience info would be great.

Mine has partly snapped.

When engine is running, there is a strange sound like a little miniature man slowly turning a handle in the engine somewhere (toward the left) like one of those raffle boxes with a few pieces of wood inside. Hope this doesn't sound like I've cracked ! Does this sound normal or like something is on the way out ? Also...I can hear the turbo(s) rotating at low boost - sounds like a hollow scraping sound. Is this OK ?

It's great but can't we have just one more letter? All I am getting is you ****er(s) which could mean you Tommy Tanker, Donald Ducker, Gary Glitter, Stunt Punter, will ya miss her? Hugo Bossers etc. etc. Can I have a 'P' please Bob? What's me Bro gonna be called when he comes to post on here now? Leo ****er? FFS!!! Sort it out! ------------------

Yeah come on then, somebody start on about how it's a different matter when you need them! FFS! Mrs Turbo was stopped this afternoon by plod(not traffic) and told that the front number plate on the MAC2 Stillen Beast is illegal. Okey dokey, because it was just cut down to the size of the letters. Apparently you have to have 79mm letters surrounded by at least 11mm of plate. Speed cameras have trouble otherwise...that's a real shame! So she gets a producer and 14 days to rectify the plate and I/she will have to prove that the plate has been done. So a very mad Turbo woman goes to the cop shop tonight to produce. My Mrs says that the only reason why he s…

Removed busted radiator and taken to BJ Radiators (specialist radiator company). The bloke has had the rad all pm and recons that there was something wrong with the aluminium core (bad batch). He repaired the original crack but states the material in vicinity is pourous. The rad is only 18mths old and was brand new from Main Dealership. Has anyone heard of this before? Do I approach Nissan? I will find more about the rad tomorrow when I get the re-cored one back? Rgardz

A GIRLS PRAYER Lord, Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep, One who's handsome, smart and strong, One who's willy's thick and long. One who thinks before he speaks, When he promises to call, he won't wait weeks. I pray that he is gainfully employed, And when I spend his cash, won't be annoyed. Pulls out my chair and opens my door, Massages my back and begs to do more. Oh! Send me a man who will make love to my mind, Knows just what to say, when I ask "How big's my behind?" One who'll make love till my body's a twitchin, In the hall, the loo, the garden and kitchen! I pray that this man will love me no end, …

1. I prefer breasts to legs 2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. 3. Smother the butter all over the breasts! 4. If I don't undo my trousers, I'll burst! 5. I've never seen a better spread! 6. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat. 7. Are you ready for seconds yet? 8. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? 9. Just wait your turn, you'll get some! 10. Don't play with your meat. 11. Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go. 12. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? 13. I didn't expect everyone to come at the same time! 14. You still have a little bit on…
