  1. New guy who just joined Camy has one. Then his missed got one just after
  2. Try ilovetyres or tyreuniverse for deals. As Dan says the mpss last longer whether you are spanking it or not so they are good value. Khumos and falkens are cheaper, and have their merits as well
  3. Tell me about it Thee end! Unless the person who now owns it decides to make an appearance and continue this!
  4. Yes wait, 59k is around the mileage where a lot of maintenance can be required. You want to know its had its clutch changed, p3, fan shroud and you want to drive it and make sure you dont hear any knocks from the front Remember there is a lot of nice 350z go on sale so dont rush in
  5. Not sure if anyone can tell exactly who's car it is but it looks a nice example. Shouldn't have to do any more modifications to it!
  6. + lots & lots! My plug in fuel rail remap box added the bhp & torque of a 1.2l ford fiesta The perks of reek
  7. They have so many saloons, shows you how popular they're!!
  8. Whats the difference between Man Utd and Ebola Ebola is in Europe Hope your a Man utd fan
  9. Cars booked in on Monday for a remap, its my mates who own it so getting a pretty good deal. Quoted figures is 290bhp and 600nm yes please!
  10. I take it the point is they are poking fun at rock bands of the past? They kind of remind me of Black veil brides, Glam rock or something you could call it!
  11. Sorry to be a damp squib but I beg to differ. In my experience, trying to ahold of this guy is like pulling teeth and when you do actually speak to him, he sounds like he's half asleep Sorry you felt this way mate. Sometimes I can sound half asleep from not getting enough sleep Because he is too busy delivery a service like a champ got a number of things off them and they were great
  12. Is that the band who sang death to all but metal?
  13. Just about everything They guy who does the work on my dads car had one, his battery went flat so he changed it. When flat again for some reason. Took it to BMW, turned out the brains/ the woman who speaks to you (dont know what its called) wasn't turning off. BMW said it would be £1800 odd to fix or they could just switch it off. Can you guess what one he picked?
  14. That will be a weird sensation, 5.6 seconds to 60 in a house
  15. Well you are going to have fun in the car. I found with about £85 of super, 200miles isnt a million miles off what i was getting. Mixture of motorway, urban and fun
  16. You're right mate, although not sure the misses will be happy when i get another sports car
  17. Well done for taking pictures of the worst angles of the GT-R and best angles of the nismo the 370 really does look better. How bad did he play with you though
  18. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charge-Speed-0260-Bumper-Nissan/dp/B00DOPIGBS £315 quid including delivery,,, I can't remember what I paid but it was more than that!
  19. Yeah they cans make some noise alright. Would the quality of an amazon bumper be up to scratch you think? Its definetly up there on the list. Probably top now actually. Its not an amazon bumper, its the actual non copy chargespeed rear. I shall go and try and find it for you
  20. Marty, much better things to be spending money on for the Zed than that. Given you probably don't seen any increase only noise, you already have 2 big cans at the back so you don't need anymore link the misses to the chargespeed rear, either RT, but I heard you can get the real deal on Amazon cheapish now Or a spoiler, or Eibach ARBS, remap, etc etc.
  21. Just about to clock up 1 month with the Audi so I thought I am now in a good position to give a fair review in comparison to the Zed. First thing to note is these cars couldn't be any different, they don't have anything in common other than 4 wheels! I will start with the Pros of the Audi and then the bad points. The cabin is a really nice place to be, everything you touch feels well made and chunky. when you're driving there is almost zero road noise and not squeaks or creaks. the suspension is a bit better on the bones although I have 19" wheels and s line suspension so it isn't much more comfortable. Everything is automatic, the handbrake is automatic, the lights are auto, window wipers are auto, boot opens auto. The clutch is light but still has a nice feel and the gearbox is really smooth and feels good to fly through the gears which is a good job with a 5K redline! the boot is massive and there is good space in the back and could seat 2 normal sized adults easily. Driving the a5 is nice on the motorway, if you drop to 5th gear rather than 6th the revs sit just aroudn 2K when the turbo is ready to kick in, so you can make good progress like you can in the zed when you're in 6th. if you move into 6 and cruise I have seen over 50mpg on a journey over 1 hour which is half decent. The quattro system is really good in some respects, I have found myself planting my foot with the wheel fully turned just because I can slight lock and foot to the floor and you get to see how clean your exhausts are! Even planting the foot in 1st when its pouring down and there is zero wheel spin and thats with ditch finders all round ( sorry dan ). However being a diesel, its like a surgical operation trying to extract all that torque out of the engine. Off the line I have no doubt to about 60/70mph the audi would take it, but thats when I feel the car becomes breathless. 4th gear just doesn't feel as nice as my zed did, still pulling fairly hard. Then there is the slight problem that is corners, the zed felt planted going through a round about faster than you should have or on a back round going round a bend faster than you should have. As long as you weren't silly with the right foot the car was safe car to push without getting out of control. The audi too me feels a little top heavy compared to the Zed, it just seems to become unsettled mid bends and I wouldn't even think about pushing as I don't have a clue what it will do or what it actually wants to do My mate has the 3.2v6 audi TT 57plate, he is a big quattro fan boy but has no clue about anything car related. We were in my car so I had to point out that its actually not that great and Audi have dialed in an alarming amount of understeer. It was raining so I was going into roudn about slowish and then trying to turn in with a bit of power coming out and the car would just nose dive wide every single time. At least when the zeds snaps on you, you look the business spinning around while screaming 1 month on after selling my Zed, do I regret it? no. Do I wish I still had my zed, Yes! going from an orange modified zed to a grey audi is pretty rubbish in a lot of respects, everytime some sees my new car they say: "thats nice, why the hell did you get rid of the 350!" Its still my phone screensaver, background and still have the keyring The miles I am covering now though it would have been stupid to have kept it which is annoying as I am going to have to spend a fortune on this thing to get it to handle close to as good as the 350 does!! If you managed to read all that, well done I haven't re read it so apologies if I didn't make sense
  22. I almost used the full tub in one go on the 350z I like to smash it on
  23. What about just one picture for one type of wheel, when you click on it you get three drop down boxes to choose finish, size and ofset. if you dont have the software for that then you could just list the range of variables
  24. I wonder how much stuff was deleted before Neilp got in
  25. I got the Blox NEO from Tarmac, its an eyefull but its feels great when you're shifting through the gears!
