That's the plan.

Sounds brilliant fun Gaz. I really want to be able to get into something similar when I'm a bit older and move settled to do it. Formula Ford would be good. Keep us up to date

No, laquer doesn't stay on polished areas well. The process that the rims have gone through apparently seels the polished section to provide improved longevity, but it's all about the elbow grease really - and most importantly, avoiding salt like the plague.

Thanks guys. They're not as shiney as they used to be in the centre as they are no longer chrome in that bit, but the job has been done well and they look much better than when they had corrsion imperfections.

Yes there is an inbetween (obviously), there's entites in your muscle which are 'on' and 'off', but you muscle as a whole has the ability to be inbetween, which is why I believe that if your muscle is not under heavy strain, you won't be exercising it fully. Without lifting heavy weights, you won't trigger myofibrillar hypertrophy, which is the process that causes bulking up. I do believe there is benifit in lifting leight weights in a controlled and 'heavily' exerting manor however. I've been saying that from the start, but perhaps not very well.

Here's some better pics that I took on Sat.

Congratulations on your new personal best

Looks like some first rate work. colour match is spot on.

Cheers Gaz. I'll get the better ones up tonight when I get in from the range. See what you lot think of the calipers too

I remember having a similar problem, but it was sorted by altering the security settings on Win 7 - probably the firewall like Adam said.

Would need to get onto that kid who did the PS3 hacking!

Potentionally one step closer to cars being restricted by GPS technology! I.e speed controlled based on the limit of road you're on as identified by the GPS unit.

I think you would be best answering that question by taking a few measurements of the actual car and wheels.

Just have to buy an old model that doesn't have that capability!

I know! But i've just been sent it so thought I'd post up! I'll get the better one's on tonight. Cheers Bud

First photo after the refurb - taken by a camera phone so not great quality. I'll post better one's tonight that I took on Sat.

Lovely Supra. Nicely modded. I'm sure I've seen it before. Only way is up! And fast just recently.

100% agree

Always a good tool and often overlooked in the gym.

Of course there is, it's the difference between picking up your cup of tea and drinking it and picking up your cup of tea and ramming it into your face. Muscles are obviously not on and off switches.

Did you read that site? I don't think you're understanding my definition of lifting heavy and light. To sum it up: however, you get there, it's about leaving the gym knowing that you've put your muscles through as 'heavy' a workout as possible so maximum growth is induced from your session. There's no point in going into the gym and lifting 'light' as it will have little benefit.

I'm refering to lifting 'light'. Obviously, there's some benefit in lifting light weights in a controlled fashion that puts different strains on your muscles however, but unless you're lifting 'heavy', you might well as not bother, because your muscles are capable of it - no need to induse muscle growth. I've just googled this site. It's a good explanation of what I'm trying to say: http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/training-fitness/light-lifting-heavy-lifting.htm

There was no room left next to yours I'm one of the minority in the gym I go to that actually does proper sets! There's no room in any gym session to lift light. It's counter productive.

I think the important thing is working to failure and exhausting your muscles. Having said that, I wouldn't waste my time benching 30kg to the cows come home, when 10 reps of a much higher weight is quicker and personally, I think more effective.

Get a bench and it will give you the right support you need when doing focused sets. I bought one for £40 that inclines up and down and also came with a booklet of recommended exercises. I couldn't work without one. It sits in my home gym along with the other equipment I have and it's well used. This one on Amazon is similar to the one I've got and for £50 it will do the job. It will incline up and down, plus it's got supports on the end for doing incline sit-ups, which I find invaluable as part of my core exerices. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000N3T0RI/ref=asc_df_B000N3T0RI2814412?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B000N3T0RI My fav dumbell exercises are: 1) Standard bench press 2) Seated (with bench supporting back) shoulder presses 3) back row. left knee on the bench, left hand on the bench and then pull the bell up from the floor (and visa versa) 4) tricep extension. lie flat on the bench and bring a single dumbell (holding it at the weight section) from your chest back to behind you head and drop it down as far as poss then back. 5) shoulder shrugs. standing up, with a bell in each hand. 6) preacher curls (bicep). using a bench which is slightly inclined. 7) standing tricept extensions (lifting with the bell sort of in the middle of you back and up) 8) lifting the weights from a bench, take them up to your shoulders in the first movement, then extend totally up. then back to the bench and up in two movements. You can lift them from the floor, but it will probably mess your lower back up for a good week and I wouldn't recommend lower back exerices with heavy weights to anyone that I didn't know how their back was to start with. It's hard to explain on the net without pics. I'd just google dumb bell exercises. Try different ones and see which are best for you. I bet youtube has loads of vids. I don't find doing flys with dumbells very effective, as you lose the weight's effect as you get them closer to vertical. Just remeber that whatever exercises you do, quality sets are the important element. Full and controlled extensions of the muscles
