That makes the three of us... But I've suffered no side effects apart from the occasional nose bleed, wheezing cough and constant migrane

Oh dear... I await the side effects :( . What about for cellulose paints?

Whilst respraying the zed, i decided to sort out my wheels... £20 polishing kit off ebay has worked wonders!! What sealant do i need to use to seal the split rims though??

Ive got the same on mine?? Blitz dump valves, nicked them off my dads motor. Worked perfectly fine on his- soon as i Put them on mine the drivers side doesnt go off?

Apologies, I am no longer able to attend this event. haven't managed to get my car finished in time, d'oh.

Haha!! Sounds about right!! How fast should a standard twinturbo manual LWB model do 0-60?

More questions.... 1) why does the compressor need to be at least 3hp and 14cfm? 2) how do you mix up the paints? Just put them in the pot and mix with a stick?? 3) Can you recommend an online store from where i could my paints?

Yeah i just got the desire - quality so far. Sh1ts on the iphone!! As mark says, ive found the camera a bit crap compared to my previous phone (sony ericsson)

This is true, £250 is ridiculously cheaper than a professional job. I began my current spray job with spray cans you see, and would need about £50 worth of cans to finish the job. So my scottish genes kicked in (pockets sewn)- the thought of forking out an extra £200 was not appealing... However all the good threads above have made me have a rethink mid - spray job. I only have a budget of £100 max to get this finished tho, so what im thinking of doing is buying a decent 2nd hand compressor & spray gun off ebay, and then reselling it when ive finished?

Thank you very much for your help so far :) I dont seem to be able to find compressor hire for much less than 100 notes?? Then adding the cost of the gun, paint and other essentials we're looking at over £250 :crying: are we not??

Good to see some fans of a propper sport on here!! CANNOT wait for the world cup to begin!! My bets going on scotland to win, with Alan Jacobson as the top try scorer - got to love his athletic physique!!!

I've finally succombed to the pressure and bought creatine. Pretty much everyone swears by it. I'm not convinced but take it for fun and games.

Yeah I actually had another socket kicking about so I've managed to tAke them apart. Turns out they are 3 piece split rims. I seem to have worn out my polishing mop on just one wheel - any idea how long mops usually last? Also, any chance I can purChase a wheel stud off you?

Thanks very much! I've failed to meet my Target of getting the zed on the road next week- don't want to rush it. I'm about all day tomorrow if your working on the zed and want a hand.

I'd recommend having a good meal 2-3 hrs before your cardio. Good meal = get your carbs in to give you energy for your run and a bit of protein for recovery. A meal such as tuna pasta or chicken and rice would do the trick. I usually have eggs, beans, quorn sausages and toast. Then as mentioned above, get food in during the golden hour to aid recovery. Again as mentioned above - everything in moderation is always the way, so get a nice balance of prot carbs and fat in each meal.

Just seen the one on eBay- very close, but that's not the one. I'm after K300 RAT whereas the eBay one is K300 ART.

Naa I've not seen it on eBay mate? I've just been meaning to find out who owns it for a while as I want that plate lol!

Result! What a bargain: even David Dickinson couldn't have done better! Do they regularly stock part worns as I'm after a pair of 225/45/17s if you think they have any?

I remember seeing this plate on the forum before, but can't remembe r whos it is?

Going off to shift in 15mins. I can assure you i certainly will not be standing there just watching if they decide to kick off in our area.

Just seen on the news some rioting tw@t get mullered by the police. Made my day. Unbelievable, line them all up and finish them off.

Never head of T-bullets? Is it to do with testoterone i take it? I try to stay clear of testosterone enhancers whilst i'm young as im conscious of messing up my hormones! Its small enough as it is without hormones getting involved :lol: !!

Daffy mate i fully recommend eating protein IMMEDIATELY after a session so that your muscles do not starve. otherwise the body craves nutrients and takes it from the muscles which is Not Good. I will either eat salmon & broccoli straight after, Lots of peanut butter, or a boring old protein shake with milk. I recommend food over protein shakes, but as you know, when your a veggie, getting the protein is a little harder!

Some of you mentioned about using a spray gun instead of spray cans. Im tempted to go down this path, but having never used a spray gun before I have a few questions: - Will I realistically be able to do a decent job first time? - Can you give me advice on how to mix the paints? - Where can i purchase all of the things i will need? - How much are we talking for all of the items?

While im 97% motivated towards the gym i thought i'd share a few important tips to help you too achieve your goals: - Music! Playing your favourite music whilst working out dramtically improves your effort and drive. - This really is a must, i cant stress this enough. I personally have noticed a huge increase in performance, but for those of you who like scientific research - Dr. Kargeorgis from Brunel University spent most of his time researching the effects of music on running performance and to summarise he found that it improves endurance performance by 11%. I would say my performance improves more towards the 30% mark! You have to play music that really gets you in the mood though, and gets those hairs on the back of your neck standing up!! - Diet! Eat right. You will have heard people going on about protein all the time, and this is because its essential. Ideally you want to eat 5-6 medium sized meals a day rather than 3 main meals. This keeps your metabolism burning all day which results in weight loss, but also means your muscles are continually fed their nutrients. Best foods for protein content are: Eggs, salmon, chicken, turkey, steak, nuts, quorn. Try and stick these into your diets. - Training Partner / Training Log! Having a training partner or keeping a log of your progress can motivate much more than training solo with no clear plan of what you intend to achieve each session. I recommend writing down what you did each session so you can beat that session the next time. - Research! This is just a glimpse about training. Do some reading to get knowledged up! I found this motivated me the more i read- gives you a better understanding on how to train properly, and what you need to do to achieve your specific goals. You will also see how people have done it their way, and see thier results. - Supplements! Give or take them, i find certain pre work out ones such as no Xplode, Jack3d etc really get those veins pumping and provide the atmosphere for an intense workout!! Hope this helps :) Ryan
