  1. 986's are awesome IMO. I think people who are jealous say they are the poor mans porchse etc no one says to me too poor to buy the gt-r was we as the badge doesnt get the same attention. I personally think they will hold their value for a few reasons They are great to drive One of the best convertibles out there Its a Porsche they still have that prestige and dont seem to depreciate Have relatively low running costs, even servicing With the 3.2s you want it to be manual ( not sure if they did the trip) You DONT need tcs IMO. You want a nice colour of leather they made some gash ones IMO and it covers the dash. You want bose and climate control and heated seats. The ones with the clear headlights look better but you could always perform an amberectomy. You want nice alloys too like the turbo styles ones ones. They are great fun to drive and grip like mad. Alot cheaper to run the the 350z too as parts are very cheap. Oil service is easy to do and takes 8-9litres I think. Leaky roof, rear window made from plastic clouding and starting to tear are your main problems. IMS and RMS are problems too but the serious one destroys the engine and the other one weaps oil.
  2. I've personally found it the other way round and virgin is useless. Unless when you say fibre optics all the way you have FTTP? Once all the people on your street start using it, you wont get anywhere near 100meg and ping times will rocket. VDSL with infinity would be my choice personally What do you need it for? If its decent for downloads a cheap bb provider could fit the bill but the more expensive ones usually have lower contention ratios and there dont have over subscribed lines. $ky are terrible for that. How much do you want to spend though I think infinity is about £30 a month. Not sure on virgin
  3. Tried ? If you have and he cant help you there is alot of breakers on ebay. Just look for the tell tale signs of an import.
  4. Seems expensive personally. Id give matt @ i4detailing a shout or just spec the same stuff and you get a discount code too

    Can you guess?

    Mid pipe or back box disconnected? Didnt sound that loud?
  6. alternate machine would be the dodo juice machine from Envy for less than half the amount ie approx £100 of the G220 The kestral das-6 is half again. Be aware its not the machine that makes the difference its the skill and patience of the user

    Blue smoke

    Get it checked out but just hope its oil that has collected in the spark plug chamber that has trickled down when the plugs where changed.
  8. Where in the country are you? Wasso might be able to help
  9. I think the aerosync ones are ment to be the best. Im not sure if the nismo v1 or v2 are any lower than standard?
  10. It will fit but its hard work as pretty much everything has be changed.
  11. I'd personally get a free suspension check which some bigger garages do before it aligned
  12. 16k mile? The previous owners must not of liked driving it Agreed get it to a trusted specialist/Indi. It will save you money and hastle
  13. This survey means nothing though. They took 40,000 cars and did a survey from that. Hardly a representation of the country and there are a lot of bmws on the road.
  14. I think bumping your original for sale ad with pictures and a good description would generate more interest.
  15. Most panel filters are roughly the same. If your wanting to ditch the airbox the jwt pop charger is popular
  16. I think a new tyre fitter would be in order
  17. Common fail area as stated. Stainless is usually the upgrade
