    Which bonnet?

    Thanks for the opinions and votes. I tend to agree with the majority at the moment. The HR's hump is a much better looking design than the DE and I think the carbon fibre hood is too aggressive for the style of car, if it was my old Zed with carbon V2 etc, I'd have the carbon bonnet in a heart beat.
  2. So as some of you will know, I've bought another Zed, unfortunately the front bumper is probably the worst paint job I've ever seen, along with a few stone chips on the bonnet and wings, so I've decided to get the front end resprayed. Here she is for reference. My question to you is: Which bonnet should I get, if any? I stole a photo of the carbon bonnet from Taddys old Fs ad:
  3. I think by fail, its meant become defective. Possibly, but I've heard int he past year or 18 months of quite a few Berks beginning to fail MOT emissions testing. No idea if they changed something, or if it was just a cluster of unfortunate tests.
  4. All HFC's have the potential to fail if they aren't hot enough or if the tester isn't very friendly. Any of the known brands will be fine.
  5. I had one of these on my old Zed and have been considering another for this one. I may have this off your hands if the sale falls through.
  6. I'm certain any of the insurance traders on this site will quote you, along with Admiral and Greenlight.

    Seriously?

    Just had to Google "Peroni" to see what it was, ...I mean I guessed it was a drink but had just never heard of that. I usually end up drinking Budweiser but bought Becks yesterday for a change. Might have to give Peroni a try if I can find any. Tesco is full of it. It's pretty strong for a commercial lager at 5.5%, but delicious

    Seriously?

    Thats what I look like after about 6 Peroni.
  9. The advert has 11 words in it...
  10. I'm 99% certain he doesn't have a Nismo and even if he did, it'd still be the same exhaust, no idea why he wasn't selling the mid pipe along with the backbox, however, as it's useless with any other
  11. The Milltek is a nice sounding exhaust once coupled with sports cats or decats, maybe try that first?
  12. Cats and headers are different, Y pipe, centre pipe and back box are all the same.
  13. Why the hell would anyone remove the Brembo's for floating calipers?
  14. OEM nuts are the same for both styles of wheels
  15. Essential? No. Recommended? Yes. When you drop it 30mm the rear camber will most likely not be able to be adjusted within factory specs using the standard adjustable bolts, so camber arms will be required. However, if you're happy to run 3° camber, then don't worry about it
  16. It'll not be called HKS replica because there could be copywrite issues, so they'll just look the same. Cat back exhausts are the same for all 350's, give Torqen, Tarmac Sportz or Cougar Store a shout and they'll hook you up.
  17. I was in Moscow very briefly and it's not a city I would recommend people travel too. There are no signs on the Underground, so you have to guess which stop you want to get off at, all maps that I seen are in cyrillic script, which is their alphabet, fine, but what about tourists? Red Square and the fountains and parks around it are beautiful, however, and everyone seemed friendly, but possibly a little too friendly, if you know what I mean, but that seems to be the norm in high tourist traffic areas, nowadays. I found it difficult to communicate with most people, as anyone over 30 doesn't speak any english and those who do, charge 50% extra in their store/bar/restaurant for the privilege All in all, it's ok for a stop over, half day to go and see Red Square, then move on somewhere else. I hear St Petersberg is a much much nicer place to be.
  18. You may have to try some Wonder Wheels. It's quite harsh, so not something to use every week.

    Tyre thread...

    MPS4's are a direct replacement for the MPS2's, the MPS3's were a moment of madness from Michelin and should be forgotten about lol The MPSS is still the top performance tyre that Michelin sell.
  20. Then all the tyres are the wrong size. Maybe the previous owner was constantly driving with the traction control off. If I was you, I'd try to flog them off to someone who could use a square set up and the weak offsets would fit they're car better. Alternatively, buy 4 new tyres of the correct sizes - 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.

    Tyre thread...

    Ask them for a quote for Super Sports all round, shouldn't be much different and it's a better tyre

    They're also not MPSS, they're MPS3/4
