Good work those guys, looks pretty good to me! and for a change its a wide body kit i actually like!

im gonna give up on the fuel gauge, when my dte says 30 miles left i only got 61 litres in. just gonna work it out with maths for now - if i get 25mpg, 75 litres gets me 410 miles. so basically as long as im getting 25mpg, im not going to fill up until i've done at least 380 miles on a tank.

is that a buddyclub exhaust? that looks lovely!

Todays one is great! Kayaking slalom course... I'll start the ball rolling with a 22.3 second run, anyone do better?

seeing as he has all the receipts for servicing, wouldnt hurt to see what parts and fluids hes been putting in it. and as for fuel, ask the seller what he recommends for it - will probably give you a good indication what is been run on.

Thats a close second so far, so i'll give myself one of these:

got mine down to 12.3, but my fingers arent used to this!

12.7 on the 3rd attempt

ahh good times, will be needing another fill up by then! and also, not going to be using the dte as an indication of when the tank is empty... filled up with 30 miles left on the dte, and it only took 61 litres, so still had 19 in reserve!

PS. this has to be the vaguest title for a thread ever.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Nissan--350Z-Drag-Racing.html Looks to me that when launched properly zeds do an 1/8 of a mile (200.5 metres) in 8 seconds... so my guess is a zed would take around 5-6 to do 100metres. Bolt has no chance

you should speak to the man in the know, Jez is a trader on here after all!

oh yeah it is a crying shame that the UK never got the S15! Although the Z33 is obviously better... an S16 would be a very good thing, as long as they do it right with a 6 speed manual, RWD and a slippy diff.

that looks considerably worse for wear than 4 weeks old! thanks, but no thanks... looking like that, it appears to be priced about £200 too high!

Well alright, i'll compromise that it has to be a 6 cylinder minimum - but im still rooting for a Vee, straight sixes is just so... beemerish. However not sure about smaller and lighter particularly... otherwise it will be a S- car, not a Z- car.

Nooooo if its not a V6 its not a zed car! turbocharging is fine, but its got to be a v6! None of this 'every man and his dog' with a 4pot turbo approach. Tell you what they should do if they want to get better fuel economy... reduce the engine size to a 3.0 litre V6, and then strap on two ickle turbos for a bit of boooost... Now where have i heard of that before...

mmmm that looks good! spec list as long as my arm - and it has to be to be asking 3 times the normal price for an 03 import!

hmm i did think that with a thin sole i might get through a pair quite quick... maybe i'll stock up

Soon find out! Just impulse bought me some of these beauties PUMA Drift Cat 4 50% off, plus an additional 20% off that makes them a very reasonable £25.60 delivered, plus free returns if i dont like them. Gotta be worth a punt! Will report back if they make a marked difference to my old dunlops! P.S. Cheers Ebized for the info

Hmm i am swaying towards the speedcats to make a change from my usual shoe... as long as i can do them up tight enough so they dont move around, nice thin sole and good slim profile we're on to a winner! Obviously need to try them on first, will need to find a store that stocks them round here!

Tried a search on this, but there werent that many topics, and so i thought i'd start a more reasoned discussion... What does everyone drive in these days? I ask because my current driving shoe, the humble dunlop green flash, is great, but I get through them quite quickly! Now that i need to replace them, im wondering if i should try stepping it up to something like a puma speedcats, or some pilotis... but what experiences do people have with proper 'driving' shoes? Is it noticeably different to just a regular pair of thin soled trainers, ie, converse, dunlop or vans? Problem is i really dont want to splash the cash to find i dont like them for driving... and if they would be fairly comfortable for casual wear as well that'd be a bonus!

shirtless zedley! He has caught the sun well though, hes gone a very nice golden brown, must be happy with that!

Pah... mine have arrived from ebay, but the postie has lost them somewhere in his van! tried twice to collect my letter from the depot with no luck still, does give me a chance to really empty the tank before filling up, i want to fill up only once the fuel light is on to maximise savings obviously! might go for a spirited drive to make sure its well and truly running on fumes... after all, when petrol was 80p a litre i used to go on 30 mile drives just for fun

...must resist... GLWTS, i give it an hour, tops

well... ive just googled it, and i can see where the wink came from, but doesnt seem to be any reason for it that i can see! On the other hand, i quite like mr Plato, and Momentum 99 sponsors his car, so its good enough for me!
