    Opinions?

    Definitely one for the Yank market!

    Ebay exhausts?

    I don't think they have ever been discussed on here before so there is literally no point using the search to check.
  3. You've answered your own question there. Well not really, because there are a lot of rims out there that look better imo. That's why it makes the fact that so many people have gone for ROTAs so strange. Yes really. You said 'it's strange that so many people buy Rota's' and followed it up with 'they do suit the car though'. Which is why so many people have bought them. I'm still going with Not Really on this mate. They suit the car...yes. But so do many other rims....and what surprises me, is that out of all of the options that Zed owners have to choose from, so many have gone for the same wheel. If there was only 1 set of rims that suited the Zed and that happened to be the ROTAs, then you'd have a point, but from a statistical basis, the odds of so many different people all coming to the same conclusion from such a vast array of options, is as I said originally, "a bit strange". If a wheel suits a car and is a reasonable price then people buy it - the post piccies up and when people want to consider a new wheel they search for piccies to see what it looks like. Rota's look good and therefore rather than take a chance on another wheel where fitment or piccies are not available they go for the safe option. Plus as said above they almost look OEM which is often the preference for some people than going a bit 'out there'.
  4. Your options Import http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p CAT-C (in case your not sure what this is .....it doesn't refer to the engine purrrring) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p 170k on the clock (only 68857 miles less than the distance from the Earth to the moon which could be a good talking point at dinner parties) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Unfortunately all at 5k which is a grand over your preferred 4k.......I'd have a rethink personally.
  5. Lose the pop charger........that'll round up a few ponies!
  6. Always a good way to wipe the smile off his face is to ram into his car at 30mph jump out and go 'its alright mate don't worry - my cars only worth 7k'
  7. Good turn around especially given the temperature! I bet there were a few numb fingers on the go there!
  8. I have a natually bad posture and my back aches a lot but having drove 1700miles round Europe in the Zed I can comfortably (boomboom) say that the seats are awsomely comfortable - I got out of the car feeling quite fresh each time.
  9. If your worried about running costs then I wouldn't suggest buying a car at the absolute dreg end of the market......not unless you want to risk being bludgeoned with an even higher repair cost when the engine blows. Good luck hunting and have a read around the several thousand treads we have on the good stuff and bad stuff.

    Could also scratch off the owning a V8 requirement as well (although its probably cheating a little bit).
  11. BTW I means Rainbow rims.....which I might add make me do a sex wee.
  12. He reckons its the fly wheel........and he'll be more than happy to flog you one To summarise - take it back to Arnold Clarke and try to speak to someone who possesses a superior intelligence to pond life.

    Surely something wrong with that 2nd one.....its pretty new for the price. Looks sweet though.

    Hmmmmm Maybe Livingstone Warman are just not that competitive in that area. It was only £350 for a Suzuki thingamie and £340 for a Freelander. I'll have a mooch around.
  16. We are talking Arnold Clarke Here........the single most useless car retailer in the known universe. Don't let these frigwits mess you around.........because I can assure you they will try!

    This is Mr Rice, what do you think? I have a steep drive and a very agressive lawn? I've always loved the Pajero's but the insurance is fricking loopy........got a quote for a Mitsi Pinin (not a Pajero granted) worth £700.......insurance £1200!!!!!!!! Thats £700 more than the Z4 or £600 than the modded 350!
  18. Get a Scorp or a Cobra (if yout want a bit more noise) and you'll never look back.
  19. I think he bought the rainow rims off hugh didn't he? I think I saw this car at lakez (but not sure) and it looked sweet and didn't break down!
  20. Was windows your idea Dave and are you a PC?
  21. I don't I'd get all over Nissan like a tramp on chips mate. Leave it with them and you'll never hear anything.
  22. You know what I'm not even looking at the link .....I'm guessing Ebay shitty unbranded stainless exhaust for about 250 nicker. Discussed to death .......****
  23. Parker, Baines, Hart.......all the rest should be chucked in a Russian gulag and bummed to death.
