Obviously im liking the spoiler - who wouldnt want a nismo spoiler on the back? and the shaded lights look cool, shame about the reflectors though. Not so sure on the black badges - i always thought colour coded badges were a cheaper fix than going for a full debadge, which is what i'd go for. But maybe in your case colour code the badges to match the wheels also! As for the doorhandles and grill, i'm personally not sure orange is the way to go... unless you go the whole hog and colour code the engine bay the same, and maybe even whack an orange strip down the side or something... Interested to see how this develops!

hmm thats a billy bargain! would be a good buy for someone!

1,310 miles in two days?!?!?!? |Thats 655 miles a day... so averaging 65.5mph thats 10 hours driving a day... except on scottish roads round the coast you'll be lucky to average 50mph, in which case its 13 hrs a day, and even averaging that will be a tall order. My advice is book an extra two days off work, or turn round at fort william!

nah, anyone who lives with a girl will know that both their rooms and their cars are a state. Boys are tidy, girls are clean (but messy as **** )

thats pretty good, but its a competitive field... just found this guy, skip to 5:27 for how use a beercan

plus, one of the guys you have on the list i sold my old wheels and exhaust to, so would be good to see them back on a ZX! He's going to worry the 100db limit though, it was 99db static when i had it tested

hmmm, mighty tempting since i missed japfest 1 and i missed a chance to drive round donington a year ago cos of snow! I'll have a think and let you know!

Pics in first post

was that the jobby for £600 on fleabay? have to say i do love the burnt tips!

well 1200 miles later and we're back! I'll put up some pics once they're all uploaded - unfortunately most of the photos need correcting, but some are ok. Only saw 3 other zeds all trip, got completely blanked by two of them but got a decent wave from one of them - a lady in a sunset orange zed, in Whitchurch, anyone on here?

mmmm just looked through all 12 pages of this... have to say, there are a lot of modified corsas! thankfully by the time i started buying cars they had built up a reputation, and safe to say i wouldnt have touched one with a barge pole Not as many members coming from a 90s jap sports car... the odd supra or GTO here and there, but surprised mine was the only 300ZX. plus there seems to be a lot of members going straight from fwd hatches to rwd zeds - im glad i went via an MX5 otherwise i'd have no doubt got myself in trouble!

lol, you should have perhaps spent a bit of money on a big broadsheet so you dont paint your garden! But engine bay looks good, gold is certainly different!

ewww.... thats an import automatic!

Yeah fair point...maybe i'll rename it 'Northern (though mainly Scotland) roadtrip'... and it has to go through Carlisle as it has a massive castle i want to explore!

looks mint with that v2 bumper!

This is the part from up from Dunfries and back down as far as ambleside - rest is just motorway http://g.co/maps/k45kn It'll also include Dukes pass - heard thats quite a good road for driving!

Allrighty, all the good ones are uploaded now, enjoy! Caelaverock Castle On a ferry to Dunoon On the shore of Loch Eck Kilchurn Castle Driving up to Fort William Me and me dad ascending Ben Nevis On top of the world! Well, the UK at least! Falkirk Wheel Melrose Abbey Walking in the Lakes Have to think of somewhere else to go now!

very true, for most vehicles it makes no difference, as the car is setup for 95 and so running on 98 gives nothing extra. however if a car is setup to run optimally on 98, switching to 95 will be detrimental. maybe not a catastrophic engine failure, just less top end power and economy suffers slightly.

Hahahaha brilliant!

christ thats a lot of motor to power something about the same size as a gnat's testicle.... what width tyre is he running at the front? thats going to ballistic once the tyres hook up!

mmmmm, sexy indeed! Black is a good colour make sure you keep her clean!

But doesnt super give increased MPG right across the rev range, so the extra cost of super would still be offset by the increased mpg, whatever the journey type? Around here super is only 3 pence more expensive than normal (137.9 plays 140.9) which is 2.17% extra, so if you get 25mpg on normal, it would only have to go up to 25.5mpg on super for it to justify the price difference (plus the added benefits of extra torque, obviously)

gonna be super whereever possible for me, only time i will fill with 95 is when i'll be stranded somewhere if i dont. and even then it will only be enough to be driven at low rpms to a pump that does have super.

Agreed, I'm a spirited driver and have had plenty of cross country hoons in my three months of ownership so far, but I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've exceeded 5000rpm, such is the swell of torque available around 3.5 - 4k.

ahh, always good when sellers wildly overestimate the power of the cars they're selling and £11,500 is a bit steep, i'd give him maybe £7.5k tops for that!
