Welcome aboard Blocko. Definitely one of the best colours for the Zed.

If it was the car specifically that they were after then they may have been watching them for a while to see what their habits were. Could be though that they just got lucky and took the car as a bonus on top of the other stuff they stole. Either way probably a good thing that nobody was home. Possessions can be replaced but someones life can't be.

Welcome aboard Celia. Don't all that often see the Zeds in yellow.

No way you'd get a turbo set up and a forged engine all fitted, built & running for £10-£12K. My supercharged build cost me over £9K once everything was bought and fitted but I did have some parts fitted that weren't necessarily necessary for a supercharged build. The cheapest you could supercharge the Zed for with all the parts necessary, plus fitting & mapping would be around £6.5K imo (all new parts of course).

Dam that's annoying but I take it nobody was hurt when the burglars struck?! That's the main thing. Not sure I'd want it back after the thieves have ragged it but fingers crossed for the owner that he gets the outcome he wants and the thieves get what's coming to them.

Welcome aboard Matt. Moved your post here as it felt more appropriate being your first post.

Welcome aboard. Do you own a Zed then or aspire to?

If you drive to the conditions you're faced with (speed appropriate with safe travelling distances) then there really is no need to change to winter tyres imo. I see it as an expense that is unnecessary for the most part in the UK. Just imho of course.

Yep I day dream over Lotus on & off but lately been looking at the VX220's as a cheaper alternative. Just not sure I could live with it as a daily driver so it would have to be a second car which at the moment I can't afford to do. Still thought I'd mention them as they seem to be a fairly good alternative to an Elise.

Would love to see some pics if you can as we're all petrolheads on here. Guide on "how to add pics to the forum" here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103472-how-to-add-your-photos-to-the-forum/

Looking forward to seeing your progress Andy and hoping for some wins. You deserve it after all the hard work, blood, sweat & tears that have gone into resurrecting the Phoenix.

To answer your thread title, ...No. I used to have a 2003 Civic Type R (EP3) which I think was my favourite FWD car that I've owned as imo it had just about the right amount of power to weight ratio to be fun which was coupled with a fantastic handling set up. Definitely wouldn't say that was a boring car and very rewarding when driven hard. But would I have a FWD over my current 4WD vehicle? Or possibly over a RWD vehicle? Then probably no again unless it was something really special which I've yet to see.

Welcome aboard. So is it a classic Subaru then or is it one of the more modern ones? (bug eye, blob eye, hawk eye, hatchback??).

You can check the code without a code reader but it is a bit more of a PITA. Use the ECU reset procedure below to get the EML to start flashing which will "morse code" style give you the code (video attached below to hopefully make it easier to understand)... ECU reset guide: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/53148-how-to-ecu-accelerator-pedal-throttle-valve-resets/ 350Z fault codes PDF here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81962-350z-fault-codes-in-pdf/ Your best bet though still might be taking this problem to an Auto-electrician. Hope that helps in some way.

Welcome back. Some 240Z related threads for you: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88297-darren-bs-1971-240z-project-pumpkin-major-update-p48/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/92003-new-project-datsun-240z/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88963-stanced-datsun-240z-project/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86035-a-240z-worth-drooling-over/

Usually for the windscreen washers not working I'd point you in the direction of one of the countless threads on it as it has been covered so many times. Like here most recently: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/112174-screen-wash-not-working/ ...But yours sounds like some sort of electrical problem to me from what you've said as if replacing the fuse has now caused the sidelights to stay on & lights on the dashboard to light up then that's very strange?! Have you got a code reader to see if any error codes are showing?

Welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard Diego.

Thread moved. As Dan kindly mentioned it's an aftermarket switch so could be for literally anything; neon lights, garage door opener, fog light (especially if JDM), strobes, aftermarket immobiliser etc. Might even be for something a previous owner had fitted but removed before selling the car.

Sweet looking dog d95gas. Enjoy your new friend.

Doesn't look too bad Rock_Steady and a great starting base.

I've approved this for you now Erni but can you please edit the advert to state how much you want for it including P&P please.
