The G Man

Ark GRiP, awesome, that's all, £50 above your £1k budget. You'd be mistaken if you thought you'd get a better sounding exhaust. No B/S!

Lots of Nismo wannabes on here, guess he/she is just another one. Just been sick!

My middle daughter had a Cooper S, and my youngest has a cooper Coupe, NONE of them used oil! These are the best toys in their bracket that you could hope to play with, styling, finish and a little bit of performance/attitude.

No, life lesson that he'll never learn at Uni. Life's a bitch, I'm sure you'll both cope. Look for a cancellation.

Man, that's three butt ugly cars in the one household!!

Did a similar day at RAF Valley a few years ago, don't get too close to the car in front of you, it'll sandblast the front of your bumper. I'd be surprised if they let you do as fast as you can down the runway, last thing they'll want is a bunch of civvies smashing up the landing lights at the end of the runway!

Hmm, your car is lovely, just feel that the Mk2 looks too much like standard at certain angles, I know it isn't and I know that the suspension set up sets the Nismo, Mk1 or 2 aside. However, it's your dosh, fill your boots as they say

Seems a reasonable question You're quite happy to spill the beans on the rest of the thread, maybe he wants to buy it, I might even want to buy it, Ekona might want to buy it. Shame it's left a bad taste re Porsche

Absolutely, the 'Team' hate you (only kidding, I love the paranoia though) I must say though, when I was a mod, this was the most difficult area to moderate.

Never puked but felt nauseous for about an hour after half a dozen pass laps with ZMANALEX at Knockers, my kidneys also took a pounding, like sparring with Sugar Ray type pounding

Yeah, he must be. Stupid bam pot, if only he'd stuck in at school! He's only one of them senior personnel blokes, dumb ass. Wait till I see him

In fact, he can't even get a discount on one for himself!

No family discount on the Mustang I'm afraid, been down that route . My cousin also works for Ford in Ellesmere (sp?). He can get a couple off grand of a 'normal' Ford, not available on the Mustang though.

Anyway, I'm sure you've been asked, what happened to the V8 itch? (I might have asked this before but as a functioning alcoholic, I don't have responsibility for my hard of thinking)

Thats RX8 levels and they used to get slated for it and that was by design

1. Petrol, preferably put in the car until brimmed. 2. Go to the toilet before you leave, also make sure passenger also completes their ablutions. 3. Place key in ignition and turnover the engine. 4. Move off.

Lots of big words there ... well done ! Ta

Insidious and, I've just stuck needles in my eyes to relieve them of the assault on them. Not BMW fan in the first place, however that has reinforced the blandness factor ten fold!

Yup, try 11 months! Parking sensors? That big fat a*se on your new car will have pimples Not for me but, hey it's your car

I had the car uprevved, still done it.

No problem mate

Last I looked, the cheapest Mk1 Nismo on Autotrader was 28k, 63 plate, so even with a sizeable negotiated discount, it'll probs be @ £26.5-£26k. That's about as much as you would pay for a pre registered/1 year old standard. Anyway, HFCs, I had slight probs with my last 70, think sipar had too, of a CEL, after several resets, I took the HFCs off. They're not needed for a louder noise on a lot of systems for the 70. Mine being an example (Ark GRiP) as for adding a few ponies, hmm, if they did, I never noticed, my jury is out on that one. £1500-2000 for an exhaust is way too much to spend, even my Akro wasn't near as expensive as that, include the HFCs and yeah maybe nudge toward £1500, but for a meaty, beaty, big and bouncy exhaust, budget @£1k-1100, much less with a custom . There might be second hand ones out there as well, taken off when owners move on.

always good to have a plan . Friday night or Saturday, whatever suits buddy, I'll not be far from the door, as I say, just drop me a txt

Hi and welcome The 'mud guards' offer a bit of protection for the sills, they seem to suffer a bit of road rash, as for mats, just get the stock 370 ones, as good as any aftermarket ones. I decided against rear or front sensors on my last Z because I felt that they would ruin the 'line' of the rear and they always look a bit aftermarket IMO. Don't really need them on the front, or the rear with the camera and all. Happy motoring and enjoy your Zed . Oh, you'll need a new exhaust though
