  1. thx TBH I'm not dissapointed at all... They made me smile. It was my fault, I knew that sometimes they do monitor speed there. Therefore no excuses. Main thing not get another 3-6 within next 3 yrs
  2. Was driving thru Regents Park in London today, Outer Circle. Due to heavy traffic in St Johns Wood was running very late in to my meeting with solicitors. Road almost empty (as usual Outer Circle is) Spotted those guys with radar to late unfortunately...I wasn't really speeding, just wanted to test my Auto box on manu mode as gearbox appeared to be working strage. Got caught @ 52 leptons Originally they've said word "court" but I smiled to them and said "come on guys it is my first speed penalty in my life...never before...I'm so carefull driver...lets be nice to each other...I do admit my fault and not trying to convince your guys that I was speeding due to running late to hospital or other b***shit....bla-bla-bla" 2 out of 3 police guys were OK but one of them seem didn't like me...Wanted to proceed with white "court" paper as he was saying that it is almost double of the limit & you can get banned for "double" but looked on other 2...they were smiling... Said OK, I got my first 3 points & £60 fine and I left smiling consider myself lucky in this situation. Anyway nobody could believe that I'm driving Supra and never got any speed fines. Which was true till today's lunchtime Was almost 1 hour late on the meeting, but gearbox is OK
  3. i've got a pair of 235/35/19 recently thru my local garage without any probs (next day delivery) however they didn't come cheap but I had no choice as mytyres put me down and I was leaving to the Ring in 2 days
  4. idiots...they should go to school and do some maths as colsoop alsready mentioned 997 Turbo stops in 99 feet from 60mph 1 feet is 0.3048 m, 99 feet = 30.17m guy was doing 172mph, it is 2.86 times more however the stopping distance is not gonna be 86.28m (30.7m x 2.86) & nowever near 550m they should have invited math teacher to court

    172mph!

    I was constantly doing just above 170 leptons 2 weeks ago...almost every day for 4 days but it was in Germany However 170-172 leptons is just around 160 according to GPS... our speedos are not correct at all (I recon around 6-7% less) My intention was to hit 180 on speedo. I still had enough power to do that (170-172 and was still accelarating) but roads were pretty packed during the day and I had too much wine & beer by the end of the day to drive at night
  6. I have the same problem after installing fmic. Would also be interested maybe in HKS one. Any links?
  7. Thx matey That's exacly what I thought. I think I gonna store it till Single installation
  8. Guys, need ur advise as I'm not technically minded at all I've got Greddy eManage Ultimate which I bought from member couple of month ago in order to use it if I'll be going Single (also have full T61 kit waiting in the garage but I think I'm not gonna go Single before spring next year) Question is - would it be any benefits from eManage if I gonna install it now with stock UK turbos? Would it give any performance gain or should I really wait till I'm going Single? I'm currently running full BPU UK-spec Auto, apexi boost controller @ 1.2bar Thx
  9. I should agree with Stratty I'm afraid Also veilside kits do look pretty dated nowdays... Well, anyway, it is your choice!

    skyline vs supra

    Still sh*t interior IMO. I love exterior but just simply can't sit inside for more than 30 sec...Like you're in early 80's car

    Rare Exotics?

    There were plenty of nice cars at the Ring (as usual I guess) - Lambos, Fezzas, GT3RSs, GT2s etc...But that one was only the one where every single person stopped to look at I havn't seen it on the track, was parked at the hotel's car park.

    I've spotted Gumpert Apollo Sport at Nurburgring last week!!!! Unfortunately my camera battery died, have only one pics made by mobile phone, poor quality
  16. I had a bad experience wz mytyres ordered tyres from them and paid the delivery time was around 3-5 days no tyres on 5th day, I called them to chase & the girl on the phone said that aparently they couldn't charge my credit card i asked her why nobody called me then she said she has no idea i paid again (from same c/card btw) & they've promised to deliver them asap because i was going away soon & needed new set for my Supe no tyres after another 5 or 6 working days, i've chased them twise...after 7 days I had to cancel the order & urgently order set from local supplier for nex day delivery as i was due to leave i went away to europe, came back after few days, and day after my arrival had delivery man wz set of tyres calling at my door! alsmost 3 weeks for delivery and also bearing in mind that order has been cancelled:Pling: idiots! i've send them back, called mytyres to ask what happened wz my cancellation & refund...they had no idea even i had a record wz the name and all details of the last person i've spoken to (when cancelled the order) after that it took them 3 or 4 weeks to refund money on my c/card (after 2 or 3 emails I've sent to them to chase for money) spent a lot of time talking/emailing this idiots money were away for 1.5 month from my c/card had to pay at least extra £150 for set of eagles from local supplier (had no time to order them with another inet co) so i never gonna use them again
  17. depends from what sort of holidays u are after? all 4 destinations have nice beaches seychelles & mauritus - just nice relaxing beach holidays + you can have some nice scuba diving there but nothing to do "on the land" apart from sitting on the beach bali & especially thailand could offer much more variety of things to do in addition to just relaxing beach holidays so really depends what u are after personally me can't sit on the beach doing nothing for more than 2 days, therefore I prefer thailand (been there wz my missus 3 times during past 3 yrs)

  22. Hi guys, Going to visit Nurburgring next week whilst gonna be in Germany. I believe there is 95db(A) noise limit there (well, up to 10 dB "unoficially" as per http://nurburgring.org.uk/noise.html). I have Blitz Nur Spec-R exhaust & full de-cat. Never checked my noise limits b4 and never been to tracks wz noise limits. Do u think I will be OK there?
