  1. Thats correct I have cloth seats... looked at a couple of options on retrimming them and its around the £500 to get a Pro to do it, However you can get some DIY ones with the Zed logo on that look the part for around £300, they come with instructions (ive done a post on here before about them), some people say its quite tricky and time consuming but ive spoke to some end users that say the fitting was not too bad just a bit of pulling and stretching in places.... I was tempted but never got round to it. Keep us posted what direction you go
  2. Nearly as good as the Nissan micra description last week
  3. Awesome stick dude love the sound of bagpipes
  4. I don't agree Sarnie, the off topic section is still available My smilies are working on my iPhone Neil Nothing to do with me. One for admin After the last crackdown the forum reached a new online high of 71 after the green room was created. So not quite the ghost town that some predicted the forum would become when the changes were made. I noticed that Beavis, dunno who said it would be a ghost town, thought it might be a bit less interesting ... The green room was a good idea but let's be honest all you have created is an area for some of the threads that were disliked or problemattic, there is tons of off topic stuff on the main forum and nothing gets added to the green room so nothings really changed that much except you have maybe upset certain people Anyway who needs off topic, that Mandeep thread was hilarious.
  5. Nice I was gonna buy this myself but reckon I will hire it now instead. I know what you mean with COD as I'm bored of it. I hired Bioshock two the other day and thought it was absolute cack... Keep the reviews coming

  9. If its an import its probably your fog light... Damn it thats two technical questions answered in a short space of time..... if only Dcash could see me now.... im flying
  10. This might help too..... Don't tell anyone im giving out technical info though as im not renowned for it on this site Q: The "Slip" light come on randomly, especially in turns, even though my tires aren't slipping. What's up with that? A: Both the Traction Control System (TCS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) can cause the "slip" light to come on. There are a couple of things that can make it come on even though you don't feel/hear your tires slipping. The most common cause for this behavior is replacement of the OEM tires with a different size. All Zs come with staggered tires, that is to say the fronts are a little shorter than the rears. This causes the tires to rotate at different rates which TCS and VDC depends on for normal operation. If you install tire combinations that don't maintain that stagger, it can cause problems for TCS/VDC resulting in the "slip" light illuminating. The stock tire sizes and Outside Diameters are: 225/50/17 25.9" 235/50/17 26.3" (0.4" stagger) 225/45/18 25.9" 245/45/18 26.7" (0.8" stagger) 245/40/18 25.7" 265/35/19 26.3" (0.6" stagger) When choosing new tires, try to find front/rear pairs that maintain the stagger of at least ½" and less than 1". You should also look for front/rear setups that maintain the same OD as that will keep your speedometer and odometer accurate. Here are the most common "upsized" tire combinations. These are known to work and keep TCS/VDC happy. 245/40/18 25.7" 275/40/18 26.6" (0.9" stagger) 245/35/19 25.8" 275/35/19 26.6" (0.8" stagger) Check the manufacturer's website to find the Outside Diameter of tires before you buy them, or use one of the online tire calculators: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp A less common cause for the "slip" light to illuminate comes from replacing the fronts or rears only. If you replace only the fronts or rears, the stagger may not be what you think it is because the other worn pair is actually up to ½" smaller than they were when new. New tires also come with a release agent on the surface of the rubber that must be worn off. That makes them slick and can result in your tires actually slipping, hence the "slip" light. NOTE: The slip light does and will come on during "normal" driving that is unrelated to tire size or wear. If you apply too much throttle when launching or going around a turn, the wheels will slip and cause the light to illuminate. Also, driving on slick road surfaces (water, oil, rocks) can also cause your tires to slip. __________________
  11. I'd at least get a bit of experience and enjoyment out of your 'rear wheel drive' Zed before you turn that button off... totally different beast compared to the Celica.. Traction control has stopped me saying hello to the ditch on more than one occasion and I consider myself to be a capable driver
  12. Smart move getting a white one Smartmove We test drove a white one at the Nissan meet in York, very impressive
  13. top banana lovely deck, I used to design them on cad in my previous job lol
  14. Lovely Zed, clear bumper reflectors would finish it off nicely
  15. I was just telling the missus we ought to go to Alton Towers as there is a new ride. I have to agree it's looks like a crappy runaway train, IMO the best rides don't have lap bars, they are for kids rides. Neo you prob remember my thread last year about Thorpe Park, I still think Stealth and Saw are the best rides. I did think you were a bit harsh saying Towers a waste of money though as aside from this obvious kids ride they do have some really good rides
  16. The Zed and the Blue Skyline are really Not sure about the Pink S2000, looks like Nurrish designed it (just kidding Nurrish)
