  1. Freeman, my preferred steel polish turned up today. Going to be a shineeeeeeeey weekend. Pipes and cover go in Wednesday
  2. You haven't mentioned it so I presume the pressures have stayed even? If there is a small valve leak or something meaning that it has been at a lower pressure that may account for it. Otherwise if it has been through a Hunter alignment is it most likely a worn steering / suspension component or a duff tyre as GL says.
  3. Oh how we all differ!!! I have an intermittent tyre squeak from the spare in the boot. All that I need to do is empty all of the crap out of the boot, lift to the carpet, reposition the wheel and tighten it down properly. The last person to put the spare back didn't fit it properly. The odd squeak or rattle doesn't faze me, so it's been like that for a year or more and 9/10 trips are only a couple of miles. If it is in squeaky mood I open the window, open the moon roof, turn up the stereo or the Invidia or a combination thereof, whichever is likely to make me smile most. So there you have it............To me an irritating squeak equals have more fun!
  4. Yeah I bought one the wrong size if you recall. Probably pick one up at castle coombe then fit the lotus cover, pop in the rivets and collars I have had for 2 years. Can't rush these things Baz!
  5. Your car is beginning to remind me of Triggers brush from Fools & Horses Gavin!
  6. Grand daddyhood arrives in 15 days So they don't do them in pink. Worrever.
  7. in a nutshell .......yes. outside a nutshell............. Since lowering a car changes the spring rate and height of the car, lowering springs are categorised according to the spring rate, which is the amount of force or load it takes to compress a spring a certain distance. The higher the spring rate, the stiffer the spring is. The two main types of lowering springs are the progressive rate springs and the linear rate springs. With progressive rate springs, the top and bottom coils have a bigger gap than the coils in the middle of the spring. The spring rate varies depending on the distance travelled, with the spring getting stiffer the more it is used, thus creating a comfortable ride. Progressive rate springs cost a lot more than linear rate springs; they are ideal for drivers who want buckets of aesthetic appeal and a smoother ride. Linear, standard, or specific rate springs have coils that are evenly spaced apart. There is no change to the spring rate no matter the distance one travels, thus the ride can get bumpy. Linear rate springs are less expensive than the progressive rate ones, and are for cars whose drivers prefer a better-quality lowering of the car and performance over looks. going off topic chaps There's another thread on newbies...................going there,.
  8. YAAAAY! I did laugh and I saw your last post, they flash up on my screen as emails when I'm at work. Out of the corner of my eye I just picked up two words, AKUMA and struts. For some reason I had an instant vision of you doing a Mick Jagger impression and very fine it was toO.
  9. Please do or we will have to wait until ACE café meet at this rate!
  10. My MOT man unlikely to fail BB due to noisy Invidia N1....... He fitted it

  12. I have a pic of BB next to his 4. Does that count?

  16. That's cheap! Any left? Do you have a link?
  17. Hi!

    Happy Birthday D.

  18. Well bounding onto a dedicated car marque site and slagging the marque off is not behaviour conducive to a high cuddle factor indeed Entente not very Accordiale. I also understand from the moderators he has been going round the site squeezing everything to make a noise Accordionly he has been banned although I suspect he would say that he left of his own Accord. Any way enough of that Jazz I’m off to do my Civic duty and have a Friday beer.
  19. Today passed 3rd MOT in a row since purchase with no advisories
  20. Yes Skatz, that's exactly what I did. I got there in the end. Tapatalk now expunged from phone and life forever.
  21. Has invaded this site on my mobile to extent I cannot get on site or rid of tapatalk. USEFUL suggestion on how to kill Tapatalk forever Going into Tapatalk I cannot find a "delete and die bitch!" option. Help!
  22. I do find the 7 bashing on this site quite odd................. each to their own.
