  1. Found the formula thingy http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual ... calculator
  2. Ok, I've talked to my tyre guy and he suggested the following ( he has a 350 Z and has done something similar on his and says it hasn't upset the TC):- Fronts 245 x 45 x18 Rears 265 x 35 x 18 Will this work and is it worth the extra rubber at the rear? Is there a formula somewhere to work out the rolling radius?

  4. Don't know the answer to the paint problem but I'm sure someone will be along soon who does. Sorry to hear about your mindless **** damage, all we can do is collectively wish them the earliest possible transmission failure on a motorway in the pouring rain

    Tyres.

    These are on my shortlist (18's), I'd be interested to know what you think about noise levels and "crashing" over bumps etc, what are they like in the wet? Thanks
  6. I'm with you JIm, we have five on the driveway/in the garage!! The Zed is in the garage as it's not my daily driver, my Transit Connect for work, Mrs glr's Audi A3 (diesel) and Mrs glr's two girls have a car each. At this stage of my life this is about enjoyment. Now, I could sell the Zed and bank the money as I don't need a shed as we have the Audi but I'm afraid that isn't going to happen. I'm fortunate enough now to be able to make the decision and based upon the the smile that the Zed puts on my face in every respect then I consider it very well spent cash. Having said all that I do sympathise with you younger guys trying to get on the property ladder etc, we've all been through it and it's tough, many years ago I had to sell my immaculate MGB GT to have enough deposit foe my first place and if I hadn't done that maybe I wouldn't have a Zed now!!? Good point Thank you If every single member of this forum gave up their lovely Zeds or other "nice" vehicles...... Aston's included, it would not make a S*!t of difference to the economy, ozone, pollution... blah, blah, blah The only thing it would do, is make us all miserably and boring..... Discuss that
  7. I set you up, you knock me down It's a fair cop Don't remember it sorry...
  8. Seriously, what are you going for this time?
  9. What the topic was called that, I think Husky posted about the chap in Europe (possibly Belgium) who was carrying out some superb engineering mods?
  10. Am I really going to need that, I don't plan on anything much more than spirited driving? 5W 40 will handle high ambient temperatures better than 5W 30
  11. Well done matey, fingers crossed they really keep their promise this time
  12. I'm about to book the Zed in for a P3 Service at Abbey and I'm going to supply my own synthetic oil. Is any brand better than another or is one synthetic oil the same as the next synthetic oil given today's, one supposes, stringent manufacturing criteria? Any advice gladly received. I thank you
  13. With my very cynical head on, could it be that a) the dealer thinks he'll have more difficulty moving the orange one on? And he makes more money on the orange deal with you as he gave the orange owner a low price together with the "it's not a popular colour" story? All that aside I agree with others who have asked "Do YOU like it?" In the end it has to a personal choice and you have to like it, I was set on a Blade Silver until I saw my current Azure stood in the sunshine and I knew instantly that was the colour for me.
  14. Very helpful and very prompt delivery
  15. No wonder it doesn't fit, it says on the front that it's Jeans ............... and goes
  16. Admiral, but for me it worked going via the comparethemoneymerekatsupermarketgo pages. I went to Admiral direct as well, the best quote by far (over £150.00 cheaper) moneysupermarket.com
  17. Mate, that's Duck Tape Well, that's what they think in Scotland I think the front lip could do with some Di-Noc
  18. Funny you should say that......................
  19. That seems an eminently sensible way to spend a Saturday
  20. It's fair to say I have one or two ideas Are you sure... Di-Noc is quite heavy I have to say the silver Di-Noc looks much better than the black stuff... I bet Graham starts wrapping some more bits
