  1. This isnt the case. When on a road going car can u really push the car. I bought mine with budgets on it which i assume the seller put onit to sell. The fronts are still on and ive since replaced the rears with pilot sports. My bmw always had pirellis on it and was very tail happy. 9 times out of 10 my 4 yr old is in my car with me and ive got no problem with the old or new tyres that were fitted to the carand if ur within the speed limits ive never had any problems. I think in some cases its not the tyres its the drivers needing to learn how to drive the car properly. Indeed it is. And, with all due respect, if you think that a car on crap tyres still handles like on rails then I would humbly guess that some learning may well be in order. I know that sounds harsh, and I don't mean it to be, but there's a lot of people on here who can seriously pedal and they will all tell you the same thing, that the tyres used make a hugely fundamental difference to the way a car handles. On the road you can't really push a car 10/10ths, but 8/10ths? Yeah, you can, and you'll still feel the difference. Only by driving at under 5/10ths do I personally believe you wouldn't notice any difference. If you only ever use a Zed (or any performance car, for that matter) in the same way that you'd use a Micra then you may not notice the difference in everyday driving. Well, except that the better tyres will last longer... Where you will notice it is if you have an emergency caused by someone else being a d*ck. If you need to slam the anchors on, or take excessive evasion action, you may well find that those budget tyres cause you as much grief as the emergency itself. I don't just advocate the use of quality tyres for the sake of going quickly, I also do it for the sake of stopping quickly too. Today I was driving through a country road, all of a sudden when you think there i no way they could not see me... he did not see me and i could smell the burning rubber as i slammed down the anchors.. quite interestingly as i came to a stop a magnetic rumble like something from IRON man could be heared from the front brakes.... long story short dick driver awesome stopping power and for such a heavy car.
  2. That's a great price Where did you get them from? Kipling (in Bushy) / Hertfordshire
  3. i call it a ZEN drive... hey the z needs to stand for something
  4. thanks i find this to also be also be the case in the dry
  5. So anyhow I have the new tyres fitted and the car feels much smother through the Rev range. No hesitation and makes such a difference.
  6. Tell him to keep the mats and take £60.00 off. Worth the punt as little things like that are easy and are never a deal breaker.
  7. Check out the thread looking incredible
  8. What would you do if you had shitters on the front that look brand new?? I just got the bridgestones fitted and balanced for £140.00 each... Shop around quikfit wanted £250.00 each
  9. What would you do if you had shitters on the front that look brand new??
  10. I have on the rear bridgestones r050a 245/45/18 people say they are poor in the wet but you should not be giving it the beans in the wet and they last for ages.
  11. I am running OEMs on the rear as I have put them on, the previous owner put alventi pace finders on, after this weekend they will be call Ditchfinders. Turns out they are £50.00 a tyre and they have Loads of tread left. It seems a shame to change them as I don't drive like a nutter but one day I think I'll come unstuck. I put her into a tight bend at low speed and the front just got left on itself like a pig... Angers me how some owners have no pride in ownership.
  12. Over 6 months i have averaged 65 miles per week and I only use on weekend with the lady.
  13. Hey sent me the link my friend is looking for a HR

    In the Sun

    Wow never knew our black could look so good, just standard polish?
  18. Hey guys need rear mat and netting Also one of the 4 hooks the net clips on to has gone missing
  19. people butcher their 350z thinking they can out do the original flow of the design, the car looks it best in it's purest form.
  20. I have a HR and I can't think how the lines could become so so on their own I would be suspicious.
  21. That's the least of your worries I can see two missile launcher wholes in the front bumper í ½í¸œ
  22. Jesus man, youre a dodgy sellers dream, youre now comforting yourself with the thought that a guy youve never met must have checked out stuff you arent going to bother checking out yourself If you cannot get pictures and documented evidence of why it was Cat D and what was done to fix it then dont waste your time, seriously, its cheap for a reason. AMEN to that run away
  23. P.s. 6 months back I was worried too and got good advice from the 350zuk chaps and the car gets better and better no problems.
  24. Not true.... There is no problem with your car it's common and my car makes the same sound in neutral... You just need to see the car as less refined and raw. If you want to fix it then it up to you but that's if your fussy
  25. Cool I need this, you know when it says raise and lower Window to dead centre, might be a blond moment but I thought you would need to go fully up and down?
