Mate youve got a very similar injury to me, apart from i tore some of the ligament that joins the quadracep to the knee cap. not wanting to put a downer on it, but im still suffering 3 years on...... How long they said for recovery? mine was 7 months before i could walk without a limp and was able to jog again. 9 month till i could sprint.

So which does everyone think is the biggest flaw in the design then? Is is that the discs are just too small, or is it that the calipers are just not strong enough. What im trying to get at is, is it really worth doing a bigger disc conversion and keeping the standard calipers really worth it, considering that one of the biggest flaws is the standard caliper itself?

See i thought that the R32 had the same 4 pot setup as us, its only the very last R32 Vspec II that got the brembos (prior to the R33's etc obviously)..... But ive never heard R32 owners complaining overly about the brakes?

Peeps, Ive been looking around at brake upgrades, brembos and alike, which is all well and good. But it got me thinking..... Why are zed brakes so poor? What is the design flaw in them that makes them so ineffective in comparison the zed's rivals? Now is it that they are just getting old and the calipers could do with a re-build and the brake system needs emptying and renewing? Because looking at the face value of things, they got 4 pot calipers with a reasonable size discs, and yet some how my mates legacy could outbrake my old zed and he only had 2 pots and pissy little discs! So can anyone give a technical reason into why the brake setup is soooo POO! Nick

like that! :D

I take it your talking about what david cameron was wittering on about in the papers. Its completely untrue that we need a supervisors permission to stop and search people, thats complete and utter pony! If your a decent cop, if someone needs searching the grounds will be there, you just got to ask the right questions. The only thing i completely agree with is cutting down on the paperwork thats involved in doing our job, which is making criminals lives as difficult as possible!

someone in an office somewhere has got far to much time on their hands!

you beat me to it!

Peeps, I need to get hold of greg, but i busted my phone a couple of days ago, and my spare hasnt got his number on it. Has anyone got it, if so either text me on 07810 334043 or email it to me on torque0fthedevil@hotmail.co.uk Cheers

Pmfsl!!!!!

im still looking into in ivan... i let you know what i can come up with

Just watched Charile Wilsons war tonight. well recommended!

Why dont you go down the supercharger route?

when i can be arsed, i generally alternate between sarnies, soup, re heated left overs (spag bol, chilli and alike) and pasta stir in stuff.

Cant beat seeing a bit of exotica being driven on the edge! Thinking about it, you can.......You cant beat driving exotica on the egde!

Sounds about right, I had similar mods at trax 05 at the 0-60 strip and recorded a 5 second dead with only a reasonable launch. So a 4.9 possible.

I think this is the most recognised one on YouTube. I was thinking about this myself, but to be honest unless your thinking of running ridiculous power, i cant see the point.

Just seen your zed going past my house going to the football fields across the road from me. You local??? ive seen your zed a fair few times now.

How about that £54 million i didnt win last night?!

Nope, i think £15 is still a cracking price

To be honest i think a full GTR setup with a quality set of disc pads and braided hoses is more that enough for a fast road/slight track use. Anything more is wasted money IMHO.

When do we need to start paying for this andy?

Obviously i would have a Veyron...and a 300zx, but here are SOME of the cars in my dream garage: 911 Turbo Flat Nose Ferrari 250 GTO Lambo Diablo SE30 Porsche 911 GT2 (993) Ford Escort RS Cosworth (im just from that generation who loves the cossie) Aston Martin DBS

or my red and white FireBlade.... but prob the beemer

Excellent! I should be there just after 4 in a Black 57 reg BMW 3series convertable see you there Nick
