  1. MK2 Toyota Aristo?? much less than £10K! 2JZ GTE, lots of room and all the toys!
  2. Just taken me an hour to do a 25 min drive in the snow. Is eerily quiet though. Which area you out and about in?
  3. had a mongoose / blueflame on my S13 and it was pretty loud! not as loud as some but enough to annoy the neighbours!
  4. this one has been for sale for months as I remember looking at the ad when looking for mine (Sept 11) which isn't a bad thing but might make him more open to price negotiations!
  5. Also while I love Zeds (obviously!) not sure there the best to buy for tracking - hard on brakes and tyres and expensive to get any extra power from unless you FI. Still probably fun on track but I'd say there are better and cheaper options. Are lovely cars though!
  6. sure the tourist areas will be well guarded!
  7. Meh, at least they get good weather. give me non scorching bearable summers anyday than sweating buckets for most of the year!
  8. makes you thankful for the stuff we take for granted in England!
  9. ??? what about roll bar padding? lots of people driving on roads with cages in and just the padding (and hopefully their seat belts on!)
  10. hhmm mine comes up as 947?? 322 - ASB, 141 - violent crime and 108 - other theft. 96 - burglary and then other ones (vehicle 75 which i guess explains my insurance!)
  11. Here's the linkhttp://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=50496 Should be same effect and kit fits perfectly
  12. flipping eck, they have some cojones! looks like a lot of fun though!!
  13. good episode though I'd rather have the Noble than the Lambo! I like smaller turbo cars!
  14. for the sake of £22 just ordered a dial indicator gauge and arm so can do it properly!
  15. all down to personal taste but the Zed is the first car that I think handles well out of the box with standard suspension. Had coilovers on plenty of my old cars and the standard setup in the zed feels just as nice to me. (ie not too hard like coilovers or floaty like regular suspension)
  16. bet it sounds lovely with that exhaust!
  17. Its not quite as simple as just changing a few bulbs Im afraid, they are all surface mound led's , and its a lot of soldering, swearing and risk of damage to circuit boards before its done. This thread gives some of the details, in addition to the LED's you also probably want the gauge faces that are from Blackcatcustoms . Blimey didn't know it was THAT involved! Looks good but I'll stick with the tango effect
  18. Have some shiney new DBA's and 2500's to change over next weekend but wondering about checking the runout when fitting. Does everyone check this or do most just make sure all is flat and clean and put the new discs on? Have never checked on previous cars when doing discs but have read about it here a bit more. Obviously in an ideal world I can see why it's worth checking but if most people don't then I'm not going to fork out for another gauge to check it. cheers!
