    Photoshop help?

    Nice work. Any chance of a quick guide on how to do this?
  2. Lovely car. Looks great with black rims: Volks TE37s or the cheap option, Axis Super Hiro

    Reveal all please!
  4. Where did you get this wrap?
  5. It probably isn't this, but what driving mode have you got this in? Normal, Sport or Snow? Try all 3 and report back any differences.
  6. I bought an '03 JDM (completely base model with no LSD) with no service history and slight scratching to the rear bumper last year for £8500. Proabably worth under £8000 now if I hadn't done 1 or 2 mods. However, the car has been like a dream to drive and hasn't missed a beat. For £9k you should be able to find lots of good JDM basic specs with service history's and no "issues". The ones you have found on this one can all be rectified so you could make an offer or walk away to the next one.

    Sigma 10- 20 mm. Lots of fun.
  8. You'll need: 2 buckets Lambswool mitt Shampoo Clay bar and lubricant Paint cleaner Polish Wax 6 microfibres 1 drying towell Sandpaper (for pipes) Chrome polish Stratch X Glass cleaner Rain X Wheel cleaner Washing-up brush (for rims) Tyre dressing Sponge (for under rims and sides) APC (if you want to do engine bay) Leather cleaner (if you've got it!) http://www.camskill.co.uk I've found is cheapest. Buy Meguiars as a good (without being mentally expensive) product. A good 4 stage clean (wash twice, polish, wax, Rain X, wheels and pipes polished, tyres dressed) takes me about 4 hours. The "biggie" is an all day job.

    Top work. Details of camera/lenses/post-processing please. You might like these from last year: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28876
  10. It won't work - see my sig. Can recommend Blueflame, Rota Torque Drifts and Alpine.
  11. It's the colour of my car.............the most beautiful colour in the world. Sunset.
  12. You're right. I've come off with TCS on and off but with it turned on, I can't imagine what anybody would have to do to spin it. My "off" with the TCS on was a quick cross-country along 100 yards of grass where I'd deliberately pushed the Z to it's limits. I knew that coming off there wasn't an issue but you can't do this without knowing the track first and some pre-planning.
  13. I know. I can still smell your "skid marks"
  14. True.... ..........expecially when damp. HA HA ... that you driving? In your Zed... or in a "Mini" (I have a friend who has a RWD VTEC Mini... crazy man!) That's me driving in the Z. General concensus was that my tyre pressure was too high (didn't deflate before going out) and using the throttle controller on 100% wide-open throttle with TCS turned off in damp conditions was a really bad combo........................

  16. I haggled with Blueflame in Liverpool and got this Blueflame Fuji cat-back system for under £500
  17. What a great idea... I suppose the first £300's worth of fuel goes pretty rapidly! My biggest problem is the weather, raining here and will be from now till probably next year Coupled with my lack of skills. This is my first RWD motor and I am pretty scared of "running out of talent" too soon Any pointers? Other than "Don't turn of the TC!" The car is much better with the TCS turned off - but only on hot dry days. Best mod for £200 - D1 Spec Throttle Controller and Cosworth air filter.

  19. Fair enough. I'll probably be the same when I get my Gallardo................
