  1. You could call turbo technics and ask them they keep records etc, I expect they would be very interested to discover that that's in there if its fake...
  2. This shows quite clearly how inconsistent the charges are; http://www.ukmotorists.com/mobile/actual_fines.asp
  3. That's about 10 minutes from my house, they've reverted back to a signal camera now due to public pressure. Loads of stupid changes recently, the main dual carriageway into bmth drops to 40 there was huge public out cry over it, so they just covered the camera up...they have also reduced the Dorset way to 50 for some unknown reason, it's mostly industrial and retail parks either side or open fields :s and boy oh boy do they enforce it, parking the scammer vans on the slip road so you can't see them till you have past. But it's ok because you will be virtually guaranteed to be offered the £110 education corse.
  4. Someone round this way has been towing them with a bit if chain I suspect so they are left taking photos of the sky, a lot more subtle. Be hilarious to see all the photos of seagulls turning up. They don't seem to be repairing or replacing them anymore, anyone else noticed that? There quickly fading out of existence being covered with those orange bags and not I. Use stamped over them, I heard it was because they no longer get any money from them.
  5. Speedos inevitably, esp on New cars read about 3mph or so higher. So if you get booked at 77 you were likely doing a Speedo indicated 80 or more. We all break these laws and when you do your normally in full knowledge you've done it. Yeah its petty but its our choice to speed, just don't speed its quite clear really and if you do be a man about it and admit its your fault alone. Sometimes they are sneeky and that annoys me, but if the posted limit is 70 and your doing 80 why expect to not be caught? You are breaking the law at the end of the day wether the law is right or just isca seperate issue.
  6. Yup the same corse I did myself a few months prior, they love them and hand them out like sweets.
  7. Not necessarily Si, they do give you 10% but that can be it, inclusive. I know a guy recently booked for 33mph under the current Dorset no excuses programme, I asked him about about his 10% and he explained he asked he same thing and was informed that was his 10% and tat it was inclusive ie he was speeding. It varies from region to region, not much conformity in these things.
  8. Just another stupid way to make perfectly law abiding citizens into persecuted criminals.
  9. As above, as baz says. 3ft long extension will get you there and you can get them finger tight from the top. Alternatively I leave the elbows off and the starter off this then gives clearance to bear hug the bell housing, then a ratchet spanner does them up. I can at a stretch reach round and do the passenger side one from the drivers side. The hardest bit doing it this way is getting the box and the engine to mesh up smoothly, I've found through multiple car adventures the use of some longer bolts to jiggle and pull it in works wonders. Have you got a proper clutch alignment tool, as apposed to a wiggle it with a stick till it looks right method? If not I've got a z one in my tool box somewhere which you can borrow but il need it back fairly soon. If if seem your post earlier I would have walked round the corner and given it to you as I was at my in laws this avo.
  10. Either way mate. Top two are easy if you have the knack. Have you got your turbo elbows on already?
  11. May be worth speaking to sfs
  12. That's his rear engine conversion.
  13. Alright alright it's not a meat loaf revival.
  14. That's how I read it. Does this help?
  15. You can get new aero catches cheap enough, I don't think that bonnet adds anything anyway (aside from weight) IMO of corse.
  16. Swish! https://www.z1motorsports.com/popup_image.php?pID=4314&osCsid=4f9mpmr1n5e75cfs4ligde3646&imageNum=3
  17. Agreed, mine was despoilered when I got it, just looked odd.
  18. Series 4 or 99 spec, or a low level aftermarket, retain a stockish feel which retains flow of the overall design but something a little more substantial than the 89 as that's quite subtle. A series 4 (horse shoe) IMO would be best. Best of all it will be a cheap option for that car.
  19. That what I was thinking or the Vtc ones, they tend to leak. Mine did the half moons rotted or shrunk and had to be replaced. Did it when the engine was out.
  20. Agreed, with some fore thought you can achieve the same thing by changing the design so it's like the one of a z33
  21. I'd love something like that to beat on in the winter, can't justify three vechiles all to myself though.
  22. Where exactly do you mean? Also are you 100% sure where the leak is coming from?
  23. For simplification terms then, ie de cluttering it's acceptable in your opinion to bin the stock knock sensor and it's associated wiring and bypass it's function?
