  1. I went last month and a family were sitting in our allocated seats. I said they were ours and the silly bint said Yeah but our kids wanted to sit here. GRR, just sit where your ticket says to!


  2. My blitz nur spec exhaust with no bung is 98.6 db, so enough to fail a static at some events. If you have a screamer pipe, that'll probably fail drive by sound checks.



    Good tyres and brakes are a must. A standard car could hit brake fade after a couple of laps and you don't want to be hitting the brakes, and they're not there. I'd also consider lowering tyre pressures a bit before going out as they'll also go quite high.


  3. Hi all



    I've finally got the correct sized LED's i need to swap out on my front indicators, however as they didn't work, i'm told they are reversed polarity and I need to swap the wires over. Easy enough to do if i cut and swap the wires around, but does anyone know if it's possible to remove the wires from the bulb holder and swap them over that way?



    Cheers

  4. I've done quite a few but the most obvious one I can think of is I once wanted to take the boot spoiler off a Citroen AX GT in a scrappy. I unbolted the thing not realising that the bolts also hold the boot on, and the whole lot came crashing down on my head


  5. I started work as a Junior IT technician, and worked my way up that company to basically become the IT manager and lead technician. I switched roles, gained 6 Microsoft certifications (2X MCSA, MCITP, MCTS, etc) which helped land the job i'm in now. Since being here, I've been promoted to head of telephony and systems admin. As long as you can adapt and progress yourself along the way, and know when it's right to move sideways in a company or jump ship to go up the ranks, then it'll work out. It's been hard work though, especially the studying for exams, but it's worth it.



    Life is too short to sit in a dead end job or on minimum wage. If you want to change, better yourself and earn more money then only you can make it happen. You'll earn more money contracting, especially for skilled work, so if it's the money you're after, go down that route. Building, electrical work, plumbing, etc.


  6. I've just used this guide to replace some bulbs, only to find they didn't fit.



    Indicators - 382 bulbs have 180 degree fitment pins, whereas my Glanza has 120 degree pins, which is bulb type 581.



    Also, the interior light bulb that goes in the roof is 31mm long, as yes, they come in different sizes which isn't mentioned either.

  7. o dam fuck it takes us 2 seconds to pay with a button !!!! wtf !!!!

    thanks for the info guys :)

    Yeah it's because the money isn't really there. They can't give it back if it hasn't been taken from the source account. The same way cheques are credited to your account even though they haven't cleared.

  8. Well the car made it to Japfest fine after having its manifold repaired, and gave it a blast around the track. The back end felt light in a lot of the bends, and understeered quite a bit as well, so generally didn't have much confidence in it. Still, I didn't crash and was able to drive it home with a bit of a whine coming from somewhere, but it lives to race another day.

  9. 196.4bhp 148ftlb

    Brakes and suspension is the key

    This is where mine let me down. The handling on track was pretty poor, lots of back end movement and not much confidence in the brakes. Watching it back on the video, it looked quite slow, but I really didn't feel confident enough to go any quicker. My mate watching said it looked like a handful

  10. Biggest achievement is getting there, due to work hours, opening times and other commitments, but I don't really do much weight when i'm there. More of a general fitness thing. Biggest success is probably cycling London to Brighton + 10 miles either end, or racing in a go kart for 4 hours solid on a couple of hours sleep.
