My 3g has multitasking AND changeable backgrounds only thing I cant do is hack a better processor or camera The multitasking works ok on 3g, obviously not as quick as on the newer models, all you have to do is tweak a couple of lines of code in the OS4, believe it or not it just has the feature set as false, change it to true and hey presto!!!! You have to jailbreak the OS4. My 3g was jailbroken on 3.1.3 so I upgraded through iTunes to 4.0 then jailbroke it again

If you search on here you will find loads of info, I forgot to mention the brakes, the non brembo ones are not really upto the job, only my opinion of course and I only test drove one import. The thing that swung me is there really are not any + points for buying an import apart from the price, but then once you realise all the things you maybe want to change it works out more expensive. I guess an import would be a good starting point if you really want to mod your car as most of the bits that are not quite upto the UK ones you would be changing anyway... Whatever you choose enjoy it

Too many player like Johnson, Barry etc who have had £20m moves, get paid £100,000 a week and think that they are World Class... sorry but you are average at best and all the flash cars and big houses and beautiful girlfriends dont make you a great footballer

Imports are cheaper, but can be harder to insure. They also have a smaller capacity petrol tank, much quieter standard exhaust and are restricted. There are a few other 'quirks' including different dials, bumpers etc. If you can afford it get a UK car, but then again if you find a good quality import with a proper history all the above are fairly minor and can all be changed without too much hassle. Either way you will not be dissapointed, its the same car just made for a different market Im sure all the Import guys will be along and tell you not to let it put you off, but im glad I waited and got a UK model as im sure a lot of little minor things add up to a

Totally agree, more tax on luxuries like booze and fags that way the people clogging up the hospitals will actually be helping the country out instead of being even more of a burden than they already are. I survived Cancer and had to lay in a ward with smokers dragging their drips and machines outside to smoke, made me sick, quite literally.

Real men don't read manuals Having said that, I have browsed through it..... I even phoned the dealer to find where it was..... hidden in the secret compartment that is identified in the manual

Cheers mate...it's really easy to get off, I did a search on here and nobody really mentioned the removal process so just worked it out myself. First remove the two bits of plastic trim to the left and right of the piece you're wrapping, these are just attached with clips so stick your fingers under and pull. Then the two remaining bits of trim still touching the silver cover need to be pulled away from it (ie. just pull them back away from the cover). Finally, the cover simply pops off itself...it does need a good tug to get the clips out, so don't be shy with it. Refitting is simply the reverse, but the two top bits of trim are a bit tricky to relocate...you'll work it out though! Cheers, 30 second job! Now to get wrapping, it will do until I get a proper CF one

Very easy mate, it's the first thing I've wrapped and I did it right first time. Just cut the vinyl roughly to size, remove the backing and lay the cover onto the sticky side. Then use a hairdryer to heat the vinyl up (I don't have one around so had the oven on, popping either end in for 5 seconds to soften the vinyl) then smooth out and it takes shape really well. I'm looking around the cabin now to find more things to wrap...I really want to do the bits on the door handles with the window controls on!! I did my whole interior in DiNoc, but it was a bit dull really so I took it all off, would look good on the door handles though, someone on here has wrapped theirs have a search if you want piccies

Very nice, can you give a quick guide to removing the cover to wrap it as I have some DiNoc stuff laying around collecting dust and I have a nasty scratch on my cover...

If you want an improvement in sound, save a few more pennies and get a JWT Pop Charger, about £120

Just do what I did and say that it is an essential safety feature....

Exhaust can be left in place when removing the gearbox to swop out the clutch;) Cheers Alex, thought I read somewhere it had to be at least partially removed. Will be in touch after payday

Lovely m8, oh and before someone else says it, invest in a set of 20/25mm spacers, £200 from CS, you will be amazed at the difference

I do prefer the Vtec power style where it just keeps on pulling but agree on something like a 2.0l engine its a bit pants, however the S54 in the M3 had the same characteristics but the engine was strong enough at lower revs not to have that problem. Its not a major issue and as I don't thrash my cars most of the time I probably won't even notice it day to day ! Not really a just comparison, but yeah I agree the Z engine is not the sportiest but for me its all about the noise and the looks First time my missus drover the Z on her own she said she will have to be careful as she looked down and was doing a fair bit over the limit, she hasn't driven it much since then

That is very true, my 2.0 TDI feels quicker at times, but as you say the Z is just goes and goes. I was on my way back home today on the M25 and thought I was in 6th doing 70, planted my foot down and shot off like a rocket.... I was actually in 5th must turn my music down a little.....

Depends what your used to I suppose, if you like vtec type engines that you have to rev the nuts off to get any torque the you shouldn't have bought a Z The whole thing with the Z is you dont have to give it the beans there is power all the time, it certainly isnt peaky, sure you will learn to love not having to change down so often to get some

Cheers guys, thought as much just wanted some reassurance, Alex gonna PM you about the clutch kit after I get paid thursday been quoted £240 for Abbey to fit it and happy to leave it in theor very capable hands Only decision is should I get exhaust done at the same time, I'm sure I read somewhere that the exhaust has to come off anyway to replace the clutch???

It is a nice pic....but shame about lack of spacers - that angle really highlights the need for them at the rear The quality of the photo makes it all so forgivable!! Agreed it's a stunning pic, but with the 25m spacer in my pic it looks so much

My hand brake was pretty useless until I got it sorted when I had a service but I have a quick question. Having only briefly test driven other Z's this may be fairly normal... When I move the car after it has been parked there is a clunk from the rear of the car, at first I thought it was a clicky back axle but I don't think it is, as I don't get any noise any other time. Anyone got any ideas, I have tried moving forwards and backwards slowly with the windows down and no noise, just this clunk when I reverse from parked, am I worrying for nothing?

I've got the genuine luggage net, jdm performance do them with free delivery, not cheap but then why run a car like a Z then buy a 99p boot net? I wouldn't get a cheapo tonneau I got one and complete piece of rubbish, bit of wood with cheap vinyl wrapped badly on it, save up and get the oem one it's a 1,000,000 times better, but again not cheap. I think I still have the pbannister one in my shed, if anyone wants it just ask as otherwise it's going to the dump!

got a nasty one a couple of weeks back, got a touch up kit from zmanalex gonna have a go at it and the 1,000,000's on my bonnet and front bumper... some **** pinched all 4 of my valve caps today too, didnt think i needed to do them up.... only £5 on eBay could have been worse i guess!

I agree the iPad is a bit pointless and it's not even a phone, but we are talking about the new iPhone 4 i think

Nowhere near as good a pic as above.... im so glad i waited and got an Azure, so nearly bought a gunmetal a week before.... phew!
