NA rear ends.
I think for a street/circuit car it's fine. The issue comes when your launching hard on semi slicks. That seems to be the issue.

3rd Japfest date, Sept 11, competing with JAE
I might be tempted if tickets remain available for long enough. It's 140 miles each way and way further east than I venture voluntarily, no track time. It looks like it might have all the worst bits without the good bit. Hrm

NA rear ends.
Just toying about with ideas for next winter, (I know, I know) what's the going rate for an NA rear end these days? Don't need the upper or lower arms, just the frame, diff, half shafts and hubs. Also I hear midland turbos do t28 cores into stock turbos for a good price any details?

Speedo out by 10kph?
How does it compare to a GPS signal such as a satnav? What wheels/tyres do you have?

Seat harness recommendations.
Ah winner! Yeah you will be fine, loads of people running big turbos on stock blocks, just gotta be careful. No amount of forged piston will stop you blowing it up on a crap map or a faulty component.

Tension rod bushes advice
The reputation is from the early ones I think. I had ES tension rod bushes myself for about 3/4 years without issue. I'd actually prefer them to rose joints.

Simply japanese 2016!!!
I'm not sure when or if it changed but I think you may be right. However last year it was the same price as this. £10 per adult £5 per child These prices are for us as exihibitors, showing a Japanese car. If you were to turn up in a Vauxhall as a normal visitor your looking at £24 for an adult, a family ticket is £64. So quite a serious saving.

Try expanding your search to Bournemouth or Southampton. It's right in the middle of both and there are plenty of hotels in both, particularly Bournemouth. For example; http://www.booking.com/searchresults.en-gb.html?city=-2590498&rows=20&error_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fcity%2Fgb%2Fbournemouth.en-gb.html%3Faid%3D318615%3Blabel%3DNew_English_EN_GBIE_19114759585-opYuFGETf6TMP4iyXWXmfASM75168947785%253Apl%253Ata%253Ap1%253Ap2%253Aac%253Aap1t1%253Aneg%3Bsid%3D4df0a455b505899f8467da15352c092f%3Bdcid%3D4%3Binac%3D0%26%3B&aid=318615&dcid=4&label=New_English_EN_GBIE_19114759585-opYuFGETf6TMP4iyXWXmfASM75168947785%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg&lang=en-gb&sid=4df0a455b505899f8467da15352c092f&sb=1&search_form_id=71eb87e54f43006d&checkin_monthday=30&checkin_year_month=2016-7&checkout_monthday=31&checkout_year_month=2016-7&ci_date=2016-07-30&co_date=2016-07-31&room1=A%2CA&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&group_children=0

Top Gear - Bye Bye Chris Evans
I think older tbf. I suppose it depends of geography as well. I think technically its un PC to reference a persons skin colour at all.

Top Gear - Bye Bye Chris Evans
Seems to be more of an older person thing, different acceptable terms go in and out of fashion. Always thought it seemed a lot less offensive and warmer than black which is quite an aggressive word. Anyways. Yeah he's pretty good. I assume he is from the online or magazine side of things? They have plenty of really good writers in the magazine that have never had a voice on the TV before be nice to give these guys and girls a chance.

EU: Leave or Remain
Maybe a bit premature but good, he has done what he set out to do. Maybe it's time to disband UKIP as a whole.

EU: Leave or Remain
You certainly could descend down to a point where every man woman and child has to turn up to Westminster, that's obviously not practical. As you say you have to draw a line some where and I think the very least we should be prepared with is within our own national government who are directed by the regions for their peoples. There is in my mind no reason for Europe to have a say in what Cornish farmers or London bankers do directly. In matters where they work together talks are required but that's what happens perfectly successfully outside the EU. It's a layer of politics that exists to exist. The EU is simply topical, it is however just one of a chunk of public sector jobs that solely exist to give the finically elite a way to give there mate a cushtie job. Literally jobs for the boys. The "North South divide" thing is a funny one, usually perpetuated by London and the North. The south west is just as poor and just as marginised and ignored as the North. Have a little look at a motorway map and you will soon see where the infrastructure and subsequently investment is.

EU: Leave or Remain
The trouble is chris they aren't elected by us and we have no control over them as a whole. Whilst we may indeed elect our own MEPs they are a minority in the mix. Meaning the majority of those there deciding our fate are not elected by British citizens directly. It's bad enough having a group of toffs in charge that don't understand everyday people without it being a bunch of forgin toffs who don't understand or particularly like "the bloody English" (ignoring the fact we're not all even English). There's about 800 of these MEPs throughout the EU and we have about 70 who get shouted down quite quickly, 10% of the room is difficult to make yourself heard, esp when no one wants to listen. Tbh I'm not a big fan of the current process in any event and would like to see us move to a different model.

EU: Leave or Remain
That's not quite technically correct. We (the public) voted for a Conservative government, the Conservative party elected David Cameron and as such will elect their new leader. Being as we don't have a presidential system your not supposed to be voting for the party leader per say in a general election. Any attempt to vito the referendum result by any party will spark huge discontent and social unrest by both the democratic winning side (leave) and those whole believe in democracy. What should happen IMO, is that Jean Claude should resign and proper talks should commence amongst the actual elected heads of the EU states to agree a suitable outcome to what is not just a British concern by a global concern. Get the bearucrats out the way and let democratically appointed national leaders talk.
