Are we sure that Nurrish is not just spamming to flog a set of wheels?? I've heard this forum is terrible for that Bradders.

Just want to let everyone know, if you are in the Cambridge area, like is was Saturday visiting the Olds, there is a cracking hand wash place in town. Its in Milton area, North of the Camb near the registery office, at the old Texaco garage. Wouldn't normally consider one, but the car was minging and I wanted to show it off to my brother. I was very surprised. They used only jet wash to wet, put alloy cleaner on, used only lamb's mitts. Used good shammies, used detail spray and dressed tires. All for £6. Very polite and courteous, plus "Lovely motor Mr" Recommend them if ya lazy or not in the mood Bradders.

I saw this guy on this morning and was bored at work so I followed it. Damn fine job by the mods, protecting genuine forum members from these planks. Bradders.

Might I suggest ebay? A fine site designed to have a massive marketplace with protection for buyer and seller alike. You might find selling anything non Z here hard anyway, cause alot of us are Z owners. Bradders.

Get a panel pot of Supernatural. It does the whole car quite a few times. I've got a full pot of Supernatural and its been doing my car for well over a year now and its still half full! Panel pot will last you at least a year, plenty to just try it out Cheers Chris . Will do then. I'll pop onto Envy tonight and get some then Bradders.

Like that alot I've been looking at Dodo now to start treating her now the weather is picking up. Not sure if i can stretch to Supernatural atm, as I need to buy clay, wheel cleaner, buckets etc; build a whole system basically. Think I'll get it all from Envy, as they seem to have it all. Does anyone know what type of Dodo to use for a GM? Thanks, Bradders.

First thing I have recommended to another member. I'll be a Moderator soon Bradders

Do they deliver to the UK?
-
JDM do one for £35. At least you know that will be immaculate. http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/item_de ... odID=60160 I'm thinking of getting one of the driver's door switch panels, as mine has a few marks. Cheaper than the carbon ones. Bradders.

Thanks guys. Just bought one of fleabay for £80 odd brand new. Saw some going for £65 earlier today, so I'm happy with that. Cheers Bradders. ps I've heard the iPhone can cause probs with putting spaces in numbers. Any truth in that?

Anyone have a bluetooth adaptor they are not using they want to flog? Cheers, Bradders

Thanks guys. I've PM'd R35LEE regarding tyres and sorting an ipod connection for the OEM stereo. Wanted to get to the mini meet on Monday, but was tied up. I'll keep my eye out for the next one. Is there gonna be one in the Newcastle area? Pop my name on the list. I've a Non-GT GM '04 with Rays . Bradders

I agree with most opinions here on this. I looked at the old shape Type R a few years back and was very underwelled tbh; and I was driving a Saab Turbo at the time. I remember thinking point to point over B roads my Saab could keep up with this. It had no torque. Needed to rev the engine naturally, but the noise was just thrashy when you did. I looked at R32s, Golf GTIs, Focus STs, S2000s, and Elises this time around(get my Z last month) The hatchs were just fast versions of their lesser cousins and the others were too hardcore for everyday use. I didn't bother with the new Type R this time, as I now think it looks like its been covered in superglue and driven through Halfords Think the Z makes you feel special next to hatch, but is reasonable practical too. If this helps a colleague of mine chopped his Z in for a Focus ST, so he could get the dogs in the back. He misses it terribly and is very jealous of me. Bradders. PS Second dibs on the exhaust though after Cragus

The Balboni's performance figures are actually slower than the LP-560. Faster, yes. But which would you rather drive balls out around a race track? Gotta be the Balboni. Plenty cars quicker than a Z, but bar a Lambo, Porsche 911 or Ferrari Scuderia I wanna drive Having said would I own any of them, no, cause I ain't that rich Pound for pound we own the best, as far as I see it. Z FTW!! Bradders
-
The 2wd Lambo Gallardo Balboni, must be close to the pinnacle of a true sportscar. Stripped out and focused. The way the Gallardo should have been on the first place IMO. They had a 4wd all weather car in the Murcielago, why have another but smaller. Guess they were aiming for the 911 Turbo rather than err what else competes with that?? Zonda, Koeninggssseesggg?? Definately a GT car the Z not a pure sports like an Elise no. I looked at pure ones before the Z, but think I found a bloody good balance for everday drudge(mind you have pinched the missus Suzuki Swift for the snowy roads). I like my leccy windows and aircon Beside if VBH says its her favourite car of all time, that's fine by me Bradders
-
forgot to check wiki, although remember it is just someone's opinion. means we can do some adjsutments to our sports car wall For me that definition is spot on. My missus was cheesed off when she saw the rear strut, "Why is that silly thing across the back? That doesn't make for a very good boot!" I thought of explaining about torsional stiffness in the bodyshell, but kept quiet; I thought "Great, definately a proper sportcar, impractical and the missus thinks it silly"
-
why, 2 motorcyles take up the same space as 1 car, just treat it the same when you overtake. motorcyclists are taught to drive to the outside of the lane in order to take up the same amount of space as a car. I was a biker for 5 years and can't ever remember a car overtaking me tbh. Mind you the Z wasn't out then

You sound better qualified than Sony then

I had the same issue with my XBox 360. Got the "Red Ring of Death", which surpisingly has nothing to do with Vindaloo currys. Sent it back to Microsoft and got a new one back 3 weeks later. I looked at few guides on You Tube too, but I'm not much of a tech head, and anyway I thought "It's bust. I didn't busted it. They can fixed it. Why should I bother?" I'd send it back again, at least then your are not voiding the warranty by tinkering yourself. Bradders.

Leeroy Only had mine a few weeks too, and yup I get it alot too, especially the rock salt in this weather. I think it just the nature of the beast tbh, I read about it here before, so you aint the first to ask. Reading about it I was aware when it happened. Remember you aint driving an Audi TT. Thankfully... Bradders
-
Thanks Stew. Something I notice is I feel I use the brakes less on the Z but I guess I am still by a big wuss and driving it well within it limits. It still scares me a little tbh Only remember this level of performance on my motorbikes I used to have. I think I am being a bit over sensitive tbh..I think it maybe is the feel from uneven roads travelling up through the pedal as I roll to a stop. The tramlining I notice in my missus Suzuki Swift Sport too. My old Merc had 18" on but it was a mobile sofa by comparison. Think maybe I've just been spoiled by a big smooth exec car. If anyone moving from a slush mobile to a Z, comments gratefully received. Bradders.

Perhaps its cause I'm an old duffer who has just come from a Merc to a Z I don't know. Certainly the whole feedback through the wheel is massively different to anything I've owned. Two things that puzzle me are whilst braking the steering can follow the road surfaces/white lines, slightly unnerving when I first experience it, but I'm assuming this is a TADTS? Also when I brake I very much feel feedback through the pedal. I am having trouble distinguishing between this and a possible warped disc? Is this also normal? Maybe I'm just being an old fart, and need to tune in with the car. Only had her 3 weeks. Bradders. btw I'm hoping 38 is not quite "old fart" of course

Having said all that, they can be a little tricky in the snow Bradders.

I agree as a daily driver I prefer it to my old Merc. If you ain't a morning person like me its a great incentive to get out of bed. If you are still asleep when you get in, turn the key and it'll sharp wake you up Bradders.
