  1. dude as have been said get a bike. i cycle to work most days (3.5miles and takes me 20 minutes) Spent £400 on the bike a year and a half ago and paid itself in saved bus fares / petrol many times over. Is also quite fun and nice to stay slightly fitter. And whe I do drive enjoy it even more
  2. had a vague look in there with a torch but couldn't see anything obvious dangling or taped up. Need to summon the strength to get it all out and crouch at an uncomfortable angle while looking for it. Quite tempted to get one of these D1 anyway so it gives me incentive to get it sorted!
  3. ah want one of these but my OBD port is missing/cut off/fallen into the dash

  5. by the time I saw you going the other way was too late but looked good from what I saw. Near Iford I think around 1pm ish
  6. Welcome! My previous car was a turboed MX5 and I don't regret the change!
  7. Cheers, forgot about that as well. Discs and pads fitted now so roadtrip tomorow to bed them in
  8. I've been flashed 4 or 5 times over my Driving life and never heard anything. Do take it easy on the M25 though as variable speed and gantry cameras.
  9. Thanks Alex - looking forward to get them fitted! thanks for all your help with these
  10. Hope this hasn't been asked before.... swapping to new discs and pads tommorow and living in London means I won't get to bed them in for a couple of days (trip to bournemouth planned). In the mean time, before they're bedded in via the procedure any tips? ie drive slow, pulse brakes, avoid sharp stops or just as normal until i get the change to do it properly? thanks, Michael
  11. for under £25 i just bought a dial indicator gauge and arm off Ebay to check it properly. Check the runout on just the hub once old discs are off and before fitting the new discs, if that's off then the hub has issues, if not then check it on the new discs once theyre on. if out of limits a use a combination of cleaning the hub / disc / rotating the discs til it's within acceptable limits.... that's my plan for tommorow! I think if you just put them on and wait for judder you can ruin them so better to get them on straight in the first place.
  12. worth (visually) checking the bushes on the front suspension as well - my front banana arm / compression bush was knackered and after replacing feels better.
  13. thanks dude, actually just stick me down, track time or not tough would be better with! 2 tickets
  14. Looks good! what front lip / splitter is that?
  15. I rememer seeing somewhere that there's a mic somewhere in the cabin that detects cabin noise and i guess adjusts volume accordingly? might be worth looking for that and pulling it out! Maybe theenw HU was wired into the OEM stuff Edit: here's a diagram of OEM speakers and the mic to detect cabin noise that mgiht be useful! apparently the mics under the steering column http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/Images/Nissan_350Z_EN_tcm6-6195.pdf
  16. the 350Z is the most expensive car I've had to insure as well (more than a 400bhp 200SX, turboed MX5, 2JZ GTE Aristo) and the Zed isn't even tuned so count yourself lucky that you've got a good deal!
  17. certainly different! not sure I would buy any though as a bit too far out there for my tatse!
  18. been to DMS a couple of times to get my 200SX mapped and nice place with good people!
  19. Check out MX5nutz.com forum as well. Can't remember if mk1/2 roofs are interchangeable with mk3s?
  20. Is the last track space still available? If so stick me down please with 2x ticket and stand!
  21. 2 doors but clsoe to home! http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=57078
