on the plus side... nice to see friends and family taking such an interest in the chassis balance and dynamics of a sports car! most others i suspect would just stay quiet and let you get on with it...

Look good to me! Quite a common style but I like them. Might need a little spacing to sit perfect though.

I'm guessing a lot! However the size of the turbo suggests all the torque will arrive in one gigantic lump at about 4000rpm... Hope he's paid proper attention to the engine internals!

Well i've only ever bought cars outright in cash, and my usual thought process goes: have i got enough saved +sale of my current car to afford the new one? Is the insurance reasonable (which for me means less than £800 currently) Can it get reasonable mileage (cut off here is no less than 25mpg on a motorway run) am i expecting big bills/is the car expected to be reliable? If the answer to all these is yes then i'll probably consider it. Also if it helps, i normally put aside £100 a month in savings, which covers insurance, roadtax, tyres and servicing. That way when they come around annually, i've already got the money saved for it.

pssh, if you spot a gunmetal zed outside the cafe nero on shires at the weekend, that'll be me!

now thats more like it, but stick with a coupe... i'm hoping my next car will be an E63 M6

i have done this... hopefully doesnt make me a ricer! and while a nismo badge on a non nismo car is technically making a false claim, i think it looks fine - in fact it looks really good on yours! however, now that you have a nismo badge, a set of LMGT4s wouldnt go amiss

crikey will you want to check what dodgy sites you're signing up to, been a few years since i last had nigeria trying to give me money. That or i'm just not as lucky as i used to be

mmmm the want is strong with this one... had a ride in someones S15 with Brides and it was a very comfortable place to be. plus simple bolt in jobby for these, if i had some azealan seats i was looking to shift i'd be all over these!

Looks very nice, also loving the wheels! might get a set for my Gunmetal Zed at some point. One thing i dont get though, why the central rear fog light if its a UK car? although looking at the clear front reflectors and side light mod, it might be a symetrical styling thing?

bit hard to see when shrinked, can you put a link to the image online?

I'm cutting back my drinking by 96% - I will only be drinking on days ending in a Y

Hmmm pretty straightforward for 2014, want to do as many track days as possible- did 7 this year, want to do 12 in 2014. Also more trips in zed, and more holidays! Would love to do le mans this year.

could also do the penny trick - 2 or 3 pennies in each spring gives a little extra lift, worked for me!

yeah i'll put supermarket unleaded in my tank but... for some reason not halfords oil in my engine... maybe if i got very desperate!

Spotted a car to take our trackday driving to the next level next year - i think we're doing quite well with BMW power, but need something thats a little more suited to track work, a bit stiffer with a bit more grunt. i was thinking a bid of maybe £700-800 on this ought to do it, what do you reckon? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=29106

gymkhana 4? now? you know they're up to 6 right? personally always thought 2 was the best, then 5, dont rate 4 that highly. actually probably my favorite KB video was the section he did with James May for Top Gear.

i like it, but reminds me heavily of a lot of other cars - to build on wassos phrase, it looks like an aventadardo ...

the green ones looking very nice, from the outside... inside is in serious need of a refresh though, its just grey plastic everywhere. and the yellow thing... WTF

hmmm maybe a round trip might be better - then when i run out of fuel, i wont be in the arse end of nowhere. im now thinking edinburgh and back... which would be 650 miles if i make it... and yeah, will take a few fuel cans for when the inevitable happens...

over 70 isnt bad, although still 9 in reserve! Something i've always wanted to do is drive from home (leamington spa) to John O Groats and see how far i get on a tank... my guess would be somewhere north of inverness. maybe when im bored and feeling flush one day...

haha thats cool! Although when i saw the still above i thought you had a huge lick of flame out the back of a single exit... but then i realised it was the reversing light and some steam

im gonna go 66 litres, so still 14 left in the tank!
