Well they did for me and coldel and a few others. If you respray them and do a good job they should be ok I reckon

If you get them bud immediately have them sprayed gloss Black as they go dull within about 3 months. Fleabay always has a few knocking about.

Also how many people on here are so enthusiastic that they change their clutch before it goes as well? Its one thing changing a failed clutch its another doing it because you love the Zed so much you literally want to breed with it.

I know whats happening here bud.........you really, really want this car and your just waiting for the 1 person to say something positive and you'll go get it. Just don't bother........unless its a mega bargain or just down the roads for a little looksee, with a history that makes sense walk the fook away. Its just not worth it for the sake of getting a 'newer' car.

Also I'd like to say good man for having a pair and blaming yourself and not a rogue squirrel or patch of oil. Hopefully it will get sorted.

Bollocks, they're great in the dry (lots of feedback and good progression) and okayish in the wet. They get much better with some heat in them too. Nankangs are at least named budget tyres, yet, I managed to not have any accidents on no named budget tyres with 3mm at the rear and falken ze912's at the front with 2mm. Okayish in the wet??? I mean lets not derail this thread into yet another tyre thread but jeaheeesus christ you must be joking? You might as well strap 2 greased otters to your wheels (and these are not the sticky determined otters of old......these are really apathetic lubed up otters) as run RE040's in the wet. They are DEADLY. Fair do's in the dry they're alright but to be fair I reckon you struggle to find many tyres are what you'd call 'bad' in the dry.

You are running REO40's?????????? Absolutely undoubtedly your answer........those things are fecking leathal. I had them on my RX8 and I nearly 360'd twice in the first few weeks. Swapped them for vreds and never even had a twitch after that (in fact I test drove a 24k brand spanker and nearly binned it on the test drive ). Simply the most shocking tyre I've encountered.........and I've ran a car with Nankangs. We've ran mixed tyres front and rear on the 350 since we've had it........its never so much as stepped out once (Falkens front - ditchies on the rear).

Mate.....that is a week that just needs to f*** clean off!

Engine provided its cared for is fine for galactic but budget for expensive items like clutches which by all accounts CAN go anywhere from 40k onwards.....some see 60k others run passed 100k. Drop links, banana bars, bearings.....all the usual crap but it can mount up if you get stung all at once so check carefully. You've just got to see how it drives.

Wasso dried his jeans on the plenum at lakez last year

K1 IMHO is 1997 Nova sound all over.

Not sure dude I was just looking for a pic of a stock one to show him.

Hahaha....its a custom exhaust you wally. It's as loud as you ask them to make it! How are we supposed to know

photobucket bud

That looks fricking ace! Good effort that man

The market is criminal at the moment.....that looks a lot of car for the money.

I cannot believe how nimble this car is you know.......stick it in sport, lower the suspension to lowest setting an it really does feel planted! I thought I'd make sure it was definitely pulling as it should when the kick down comes in ......pants ruined.

Man up and get back to the shed you wuss!

Sorry lack of thread reading before posting!

Lucky if you get second hand rays with tyres for much less than that!

Oh and also got a 'add one liter of oil at next fuel stop' warning......on my apparently freshly changed oil.

Booked in for Thursday. They reckon they've done no more than topped it up. Even with glycol it would be orange not black. It's simply not been changed. No big deal as its basically just ready for a change but the lying gits. They said that they add an anti judder solution in there as well which coats the torque converter to make it smoother. Apparently they've had quite a few with the same problem and this has been a success.

Jesus titty ****ing Christ.......overfilled ATF by 3 litres and it's jet black. Sneaky, dirty, evil, southern bastards!
