Spatt replied to Spatt's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
The wheel is a factory option in Japan.. guess the guy who bought it new didn't like the standard one. Sadly no cruise control. . But horn and airbag are present. -

Yeah.. Chris 'Marzmans' old car indeed. Love EVERYTHING about this car its been a great first week. think ive spent nearly 200 quid in fuel i think the wheels look brilliant and dont think i'll change them (Maybe a re-colour but i like the grey for now)... gunna mod up the engine bay a little and see where i go from there. need to get them Nurb stickers off untill ive been myself, cant wait but im terrified haha -

Been running with my Xenon lights on a lot and they have got a weird matt 'fogged up' like finish on them now (Not internal)... i'm told this is common with high powered lights and is easily removable with the right polish.. Why does this happen? Some advice please and will waxing these once its gone help prevent it coming back so quick?

sign me up for this please if there is space left? I will probably stay at the premier inn or somewhere nearby if sold up. may be a late arrival on the friday night anyway (By the time i finish work) but looking forward to the drive over to Castle Combe. think that will be an experience not to be missed. Unless anyone else is convoying down from the Northwest? either put me down for entrance ticket only... dont fancy the track just yet.. -
Holy crap! Twin turbo!? Man its fast enough. How do you not just spin your wheels? ?
-
yeah tell me about it! im sure the tyres arn't crap... Infact was going to do 'another' thread ... My tyres say 'Maxis' on them? are they good or bad, iv never heard of them before but dont want to slate something in dont know much about there is plenty of tread but when im buying new ones what do i go for? i do feel they wont grip up at even low revs and the car feels 'twitchy' to say the least round corners.. so just the weather or the tyres too? certainly cant drive it like a 1.1 fwd pug haha. though this has helped my whole attitude to driving a lot as im letting people just go by now
-
Haha love the comments. .. well I had a great drive.. especially pulling off the roundabout back omyo the motorway, y amd my girlfriend where laughing our heads of at the silly power of the car. It was a nice drive up the front and a little emotional to really bring home the owner ship really cant tell you how much I appreciate what iv got... Glad superstu said that about the waves... not seen a single zed to wave at yet grr
-
Strange one this but, mines got the rsw carbon interior.. whats the best stuff for cleaning and maintaining this nice glossy finish without ruining the detailed finish? love how the street lights come down the dash at night and was wondering if a little car wax might enhance and protect the interior? Also tips on keeping the plastics looking fresh inside the car too.
-
haha, hopefuly i wont be stationary for too long, i drove the car through Levenshulme (Big mistake) when i picked it up...... was scared. Yeah think i'll grab my cannon and the tripod and take a couple of snaps if i get chance. need to sort my profile
-
Well, my girlfriend hasn't seen the car yet since all my mates have been blowing up my phone since i let on i was getting it. so tonight im making the same trip i made when i get my first car! a trip to glamorous blackpool... i think i remember seeing some nice cars on the front when i was driving round in my Corsa... wondering if i might get the chance to own something like that and i think iv exceeded my own expectations.

Where am I going to get some spacers from and how much? They are for the stock wheels at the back

Ok, this might be my first sign up... how do i need to know/do ... Chris, i'll make sure the car makes it -
Sold.. if you guys are happy with the work then they have another customer... Can needs MOT in FEB too ! an ideas? dont wanna take it to any old place. do they MOT too?
-
my cars coming upto 50K this means the P3 service coming up soon at 54K right? so, as its a big one, who are the best most trusted place in the northwest to take my car too? Also there is a very very very small squeal from the belts or tensioner or something. Chris has advised to get this sorted but its nothing to worry about.. so should i get the belts changed if im gunna get a tensioner done? want to look after this car so dont mind spending the money but need a garage i can trust.

just bought Chris (marzman's) car
Spatt replied to Spatt's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
You've got the car at the right time. I got mine a few years ago, a group of us all got our first RWD cars about the same time with a few months between. I got mine around this time, and all of us who got them in the more wintery months still have them. Everyone who got them in the summer months crashed theirs in the winter and is on their 2nd rwd car now. You'll learn how to really drive it in time to appreciate it for the summer Yeah, i agree, im not one of these spoiled brats i saved hard for this car and so i'll treat it with respect in the hopes it'll see me right. i got a scooter back in november last year and drove that through the winter with my brother following(also a biker) he told me if you ride in crap weather you'll be a better rider come summer time. Its amazing how kids and grown men will stare at the car as im stopped at lights and wait for me set off just so they can hear the rasp from the exhaust. ive had my car 24hrs now and i freaking love IT! looking forward to the shows with everyone. Chris has told me put 'wales' in my diary. when is this event? -

Spatt replied to Spatt's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
Im 25.. its been a hard ttip saving up while my friends spen up but its all more than worth it now. I used to drive a 1.1 Peugeot. . So a massive leap up the chain. Cant grt used to thr throttle at the moment im not used to driving s car so carefully. -
Hi everyone. Been looking around for a few months now and went to see Chris' nismo fitted car first back in September I think it was. Today I was happy to drive it away. I know Chris was sad to her go and he was great with everything while I was there. So a big thanks to him. I look forward to the summer meet ups to get to know everyone. I can honestly say its a unique experience driving/owning a zed allready. Especial at my age. Kinda skipped a few 'bidge' cars to get here but I finally have my dream car that one day seamed impossible to get.

Yeah, popcharger is just filter and bracket, if you check on the website there's also a Berk polished intake tube. Takeda comes with the polished pipe so if that's the look you want then its a cheaper option Cheers for the heads up.. i'll consider a Takeda from ebay (Around 130quid) not bad... is the intake sound as good as the pop?
-
ok cool... well i am gunna be after one and just checked both them out on google images and they look sweet.. does your ARC have the cover? and do they sound nice? please PM me
-
Found a 'popcharger' for about £150 so might get this ordered soon... looking at some engine bays though i have noticed a chrome intake pipe and was wondering does this come with a filter kit or will i fit my popcharger onto one if i buy it later?
-
Double intake! Easy enough to fit? Kit on ebay for like 200quid might have to wait for me. Oh and as for power loss... I drive a 206 1.1 at the mo... gunna struggle noticing I think
