  1. Starts off very chavy, then to his credit puts together a rather comical car ad! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mazda/rx-7/eagle-thrust-death-panther-fighter-jet--black-edition/1592982#
  2. Did you want the weave pattern to go in opposite directions where it meets between the gear surround and the stereo surround?
  3. ...and I owe you brekkie for the roof cable Maybe an adjusted Kent route without the closed M25!
  4. Exactly. I mean lets think about it logically. Does Shell get first dibs on the good stuff, or is it more likely that the UK is supplied with fuel from distributors in exactly the same format within which each company adds their own additives then sells it on forecourts? Can these additives substantially change the power of the fuel? Course not, otherwise there would be huge claims all over the forecourts such as 'proven to be better than BP' - which there isn't. Does Tesco drill for and convert its own fuel? Or does it buy it from the same place BP or Shell or anyone else buys it from? Its 99% the same stuff on the whole - the rest are company specific additives and some very good marketing.
  5. Yeah you got a mention on the VX forum mate Need to organise another drive out soon...before the weather gets autumny.
  6. Echoing the above, lots of adverts where people say 'I only use Shell VPower' thinking that is a selling point. On one hand those that believe the marketing will help it sell, everyone else who knows there really is naff all difference in most super unleaded brands will not. Shell just happens to have good branding right now...

    new rims

    Can't quite decide, would like them more in all silver I think
  8. I know, I now call the wife's Ford Focus - 'the Van'
  9. Well a decent SC VX would 'beast' just about everything else you will meet on a track.
  10. Well at the moment its on par with a Zed, but like I say being sat in an airbagless (except for steering wheel) car made out of fibre glass and doing those speeds is pretty seat of the pants time. SC cars are track monsters really.
  11. Supercharged VXs are scary as hell mate - I did a few passenger rides and i was hanging on like you wouldnt believe. I do have an inkling to SC mine...so tempting...
  12. For me though its not the performance, its the drive...a hatch back still seems like I am sat upright in an office chair compared to a two seater.
  13. I bet Tarmac and co are taking note though
  14. Not zed stuff but certainly a novel way of selling on ebay! http://www.ebay.com/sch/babenotincluded/m.html?item=120947529554
  15. To summarise the above, for all your parts requirements PM Zmanalex, Steve 350z and CS. Having had dealings with all 3 all I can say is they get 100% service and confidence in getting you what you need
  16. My Zed was my first two seater sports car experience and to be honest will never go back to hot hatches or the like, it just doesn't compare. As much as my mate tries to convince me after going out in his Scooby, then his 197 Clio and now his Type S Civic, they all feel like I am driving a van. Two seater sports cars are a true feeling of driving a sports car, no matter how much power the likes of BMW or Renault throw hatches.
  17. Its a 911, the most boring looking sports car in the world. For all the tech that keeps it on the road, still looks as dull as the other 30 odd 911's I see every day
  18. Zed is a stunning car that has aged really well. Shame they restricted the ECU so much!
  19. Done a bit of work on the interior - removed the centre tunnel and clad it with a leather cover. Also put some red 4d carbon vinyl on the dash to match the car Pic is a bit crap, but hey its dark out there today! Also changed the spark plugs, took ten mins
  20. No bite...... bit like your cars Put a 'cap' on it mate - still pipe'ing the same old jokes...
