Congestion charging b******s

by parthiban, 18-08-2017, 08:35 AM

Had to head into town yesterday and despite trying to time it perfectly, I ended up crossing into the zone when it said 6.01pm on the clock in the car. For those that don't know the zone ends at 6pm so rang them up to ask whether I'd need to pay or not.

Unbelievably they said "they weren't linked to the cameras" so can't say whether you've been in or not! :cursing:

I replied with "you b****y well are linked to the cameras as that's how you'll send me a penalty fine if I have crossed into the zone!"

The advice they gave me was that their clock is based on 123, so ring 123 and check whether your car clock is the same........yeah right, just paid the £4 as that really isn't worth the aggro but just annoys me so much at how the system was set up as a big con right from day one! Wish I could do this :Chair: to big ken........

America's new forced incudtion :D

Some of you have probably seen this but I thought I would post it anyways for the sheer genius of it!

Some college students in America experimented with a leaf blower hooked up to the air inlet on their cars and ran dyno tests on them with very surprising gains.

I can't believe how much you can get an Evo for now, depending which model you like of course but a lot of car for your money, for example

I'm half considering getting one of them instead of a turbo :tongue_smilie:

Understanding Wheel Offset

by steviewevie, 17-08-2017, 02:34 PM

When changing the wheels on your car for a different sort, the question of wheel offset is an important one in terms of making sure the new wheels will fit correctly (i.e. that they will neither stick out too far so that they extend beyond the arches, nor that they will foul the inner side of the wheel arch).

There's an article, with some diagrams, explaining wheel offset here. The diagrams show wheels with a positive offset, i.e. wheels whose mounting hub is closer to the outside than the centreline. It's also possible to have wheels with a negative offset, i.e. whose mounting hub is closer to the inside than the centreline.

There's a useful calculator here which you can use to show how differing offsets will affect how the wheel sits.

Just Tinted my Rear Quarter Windows

by Bandit, 17-08-2017, 11:27 AM

Thought i'd have a go at window tinting today hock:

Found a company that sell the tint by the meter so ordered a 100cmx50 length to see how i'd get on

Think i've done a pretty good job and only a couple of tiny bubbles, i even heat shrank it to fit when the dreaded fingers started to appear,

Which worked a treat and quite happy with how got on with it :thumbup:

Not sure now if i should have a go at the rear, now that i've got the idea on how to shrink the film and shape it? think i could do it? :w00t:

Couple of pic's...
