    Anyone heard or been in touch with these guys recently? i'm after a D1 spec throttle controller sent leon a PM but haven't heard back, tried the phone number on there site and no answer. Could just be me being impatient though Cheers,
  2. Get a mac, and if you feel you need to run a microsoft OS on it then do so, i know many many people who have Windows 7 on there mac as well as the latest Mac OS. it's capable of handling both without breaking a sweat. problem sovled. If i didn't just use the computer for web browsing and itunes these days i'd have a mac!
  3. Couldn't agree more used to drive back from the mr's in newcastle down the a1 then all teh a-b roads to home about 2 am. nothing like have all the road! Remember picking one of my mates up a few times when he was pi*&%d and couldn't get home at 6 am, sun coming up no one about, epic fun drives.
  4. Just me or does it not say what year it is?
  5. Have decided to go for a magnetic one when I can, after reading this. i had that problem with my mr2 when i changed the plugs, was a bugger to get back off!!
  6. Now then chaps, I've only had the zed 10 months but i'm thinking of changing. The mrs recently moved further away so it means i'm doing around 400-450 miles a week. This means a fuel bill of around £80 a week and thats taking it steady and not really giving the car any beans at all, which makes me think am i better off with something i can rag a little more and save a few quid. I love the zed to pieces and really really dont want to get rid of it but with the fuel bills and needing a new clutch i'm thinking would i be better off with something slightly more eco? My cars a 04 sunset full gt pack rays tanned leather etc with 56k on the clock so thinking i'll get 8k trade in. What would anyone recomend as a replacement? I'm looking for 35 mpg on good runs this should bring my fuel bill down by around £20 a week, i'd prefer RWD or 4WD but would also consider FWD. Looked at EP3's as i've owned one and they're bloody good motors for the price, plus Vtec is right up my street. Any input welcome! if only fuel was cheap
  7. Did a ECU restart the other day, car feels much smoother especially since i had it serviced earlier in the month! seems i may be getting a few more MPG's to, getting around 28-30 with barely any form of ragging it, shifting under 3k and being smooth with motorwar and some b roads and a little town driving. Wish i could get another 5 mpg out of it as i'm spending so much on fuel these days i'm thinking on chaning the car
  8. if he ever breaks it and wants rid of the DC exhaust gimme a bell, i'd lurve one!
  9. Is it february this month? i'm still unsure
  10. i'm on about £75 to fill up at sainsburys just shows when it says empty it never really is £75 a week is a killer though Sometimes more to. Not far off the price of a mortgage haha!
  11. Mines a daily commute 15 miles each way, then go see the GF some nights during the week and on weeks thats a 40 miles journey each way. Tis a brilliant car, just a bit harsh on the wallet when you hoon it all the time
  12. PB Marmite on a seaded loaf every morning for me Can't beat a bit of jam though.
  13. i'm not a huge dog fan but god dam i LURVE huskies! if i wasn't so allergic to dogs i'd so have one. Do they shed much hair? Nismo looks awesome btw
  14. Couldn't agree more mate! Got my car serviced there yesterday and i have to say it's the best service i've ever experienced! Everyone's really friendly and the service is second to none! With low prices to back it all up, My car wont be going near enother garage from now on! Top job, keep it up!
  15. I'd side with lexx on this one, i've heard some bad things about those guys. go down and have a look yourself? I'f you can afford it get it shipped to falcon in boro, they know there stuff
  16. If you can get a free replacement then go for that i solved the problem the other night by taking the internal CD player ribbon out, can't use CD's now ofc but i couldn't before and only use radio and MP3 anyway

  21. haha, heard chris's TDI kept up with the zed to! scary stuff that
  22. Personally i think the roadsters look like big for KA's and for that reason i'd say coupe! Media equipment can be easily changed i wouldnt judge the cars jsut on those two things.
