  1. I would say MAF or plug again as first check, then if all seems well. ECU and TB reset process as per the guide.
  2. Same route for mine to the rear 12v supply via the b post and loose behind the passenger seat, front 12v i use for sat nav when needed or phone charger.
  3. 2017 Ekona track slag? So i go round the other night to check out the kids new whip. Turns out he didn't take it for a test drive, didn't go out as a passenger either, didn't check cost of insurance nor arrange for a compression test or confirm what the warranty covers. ***Shakes head Goes it starts and sound good and had low mileage with few owners so did the deal, *shakes head again.
  4. Should be able to mask it up no problem. Waiting for a WV2 bumper and it may or may not colour match anyways with your wings and bonnet.
  5. Reminds me of how i felt with i first saw a Saleen S7, just a generic new age super car. Like a no name super car you get on an arcade game.
  6. TG ftw, the drift thru the hole in the wall was sweet
  7. Last night the brother in-law message me saying he's just bought a 57 plate Madza RX8, the one in the link below. Anyone on here have one or previously owned, as the internet has scared me $hitless about ownership however from what I gather in the day they were/are a rival to the Z33. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201703103144550?price-from=500&make=MAZDA&sort=price-asc&radius=1500&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=b330xj&model=RX-8&page=5
  8. Impreza 22b and Evo 6 Extreme = baby gravy
  9. Visually for me the difference between DE & HR interior (and exterior) is styling, newer doest always mean better.
  10. Greatness is more so to do with how a car feels and performs at its limit.
  11. The 350z is a strange one, numbers wise there are thousands on the road yet you hardly ever see them about day to day?
  12. To clean, any 10:1 all purpose cleaner worked in with a brush and dried off with clean MF - what i use then after. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Armor-All-Leather-Care-530ml/dp/B000Y8FR6U

  14. In my personal opinion in 5-8 years time when all new sports and performance cars are automatics, digital instrument panels, electric steering & handbrakes with small capacity turbo engine that all sound the same. Folks will start to look back to cars prior to all the ad ons. A Big front engined naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox, rear wheel drive coupe will become sort after.
  15. Lol fair play!! Nice pick me up
  16. Or.............. https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Car-Tools-Equipment/Universal-Maxiscan-Engine-Scanner-Reader-Diagnostic-Tester/B01DVRE2M0/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1488971717&sr=8-14&keywords=obd+2+reader
  17. Problem is everyone wants stuff for dirt cheap!! Purely as an example, you could have two early DE's being sold one at 5k and the other at 6.5k. The 5k car within the first 12 months will need 2.5k spending on it (and the potential buyer knows this) ie clutch, flywheel, tyres, brakes and exhaust. The car advertised for 6.5k has all these item replaced recently, so on that front nothing to worry about. Folks would still rather buy the 5k car and cheap out on the repairs or allow the items to become MOT failures going forward. BUY THE 6.5k CAR INSTEAD!!!!!! This is whats hurting the values imho, cheap A$$ people using poor man math.
  18. Yeah i know, hard to tell on the vid but almost every lap he was twitching (well we all were to be fair) so when it initially happend i thought nowt of it until he started to go right round!! I $HIT it lads and you can understand how relieved I was to have missed any contact, causing the joyous outburst soon after haha David
  19. Ive secured an allocated spot in the overspill carpark, its a shared car park (3/4 different companies) but better than nowt. Todays the first time ive drove the Zed to work, since the new a couple weeks ago lol The car park is on a rolling month contract with the land owners which isnt great, but is OK for now.
  20. Any review ideally should be unbiased
  21. ello n welkom, sorry to hear of your issues - you're in good hands.
