• The Fast And The Furious 15 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  If you're stuck inside this weekend and don't fancy any of the dross on the telly, I recommend you nip out and rent this on DVD or Video. It's set in California, the lead is played by Vin Diesel, it's shot like a video game and the cars are something else. Tricked up RX7s, Integras, Supras (Tomo), Skylines, Civic Coupes and lots more including (curiously) a Vento VR6.
• Help! Gottaprob! 21 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  Being a trusting fool I believed that, and sprayed a small area, only to find that it DID, and area now looks far worse than it did before. It transpires that the reason the ingredient wasn't in stock was that it's lead based. Shop is now trying to get colour made up elsewhere but so far without success. In this colour Honda dealers only sell those tiny touchup 'mascara brushes'. Short of having a proper spray job done (£££) how, please, can I get myself out of this hole I've dug for myself?
• Volvo Tyre Tolerances 22 Feb 2001 (Forum)
  Basically it stated that not only should each tyre be the same size, manufacturer and tread pattern but also that the tread depth of each tyre should be within 2mm of each other.Therefore the rolling circumference of each wheel would be the same.Failure to adhere to this could lead to transmission failure. I can see the logic that different circumferences would mean that each wheel would be rotating at a different speed thus maybe putting a strain on the transmission but what makes the transmission system in volvos that sensitive to this and do such fine tolerances apply to any other cars?
