  1. That's because the 452s are only marginally better in the wet than the 040s, and they're both not really suitable for the Zed and this is what happens when you mix tyres. Oh come one, this has been going for pages now and that's the first time I've mentioned anything! Hope it gets sorted out soon fella, I think you took it quite well considering but please don't underestimate how important it is to have matching tyres all round. No its not. have to agree, tyres only need to match across the axle. yes its nice to have the same across the whole car, and its what i use. but different front and backs doesn;t suddenly make it like a greased otter. as for the 452's not being adequate for the zed, they seem more than capable for the XKR. Finally someone with sense. Im not denying that the car will be slightly different but it will not kill you.

  3. They are the upgrade 19" g35/skyline wheels.
  4. The 350 has low end grunt. It's a lil breathless up top and it's not the revviest engine going. Have you thought of a 3.2 s 986 boxster?
  5. If you cant find a swap
  6. I love IOS for mobile and touchscreen devices but for normal stuff I love my of with windows 7. I wish they would stop trying to make everything touch though. You can get touch screen monitors for your pc now but the mouse is much more efficient.
  7. If your JDM has tcs and not vdc checking the brake fluid does nothing as that won't turn on the light.
  8. I personally think it needs 19"'s on it. Chargespeed and rays dont work IMO sorry
  9. Where in england are you? is this guy close by? mbclub uk If not maybe just phone him up he seems to be the zman of their forum.
  10. that 10 extra mpg in the z4 looks better now though? If your doing that many miles will you not want a more comfy interior? Like the bmw? Probably, it's a case of head over heart, or vice versa Plus short service intervals it might feel like your always in a garage. German cars always carry their milage better than Japanese cars. I have a bmw on 160k at the moment and had a merc on 170k and they feel like brand new. Its up to you but a few of my friends have had fast cars but running costs left a bad taste.
  11. Is that the banana bar bush you replaced? Drop links maybe? to be sure or for parts.

  13. Was she nice? There is a guy who drives a gunmetal 04 here but every time I've seen him he rubbers me, they are from Angus you can't blame them
  14. Product placement is getting silly in some tv shows.
  15. Try a ciper (sp?) cable I'm sure Jez sells them.
  16. Wasn't it all flooded down in England like 2 days ago?
  17. e36 is a 3.0 although its different. The e36 evo and e46's use 3.2's.
  18. The m3 and the 3.0 are 2 different things though.
  19. not really just thickness and condition usually. You cant really put a number on it. If you feel a "lip" on the discs its time to pm the zman.
  20. £50 and Il take the wheels
  21. 10mpg and electric roof extra. I'd go with the z4.
