  1. So much want! I wonder if the wife will notice if I sell one of the twins when they arrive....
  2. All this bickering over a phone. It's like the RX8 v 350z BS all over again. Some people like to use apple products, some don't. No need for a religious war to break out over it. I personally don't like using Macs, the interface pisses me off. But I have owned 3 iPhones in a row as I prefer iOS than Android.
  3. Unlocked now after speaking to Tarmac. GLWTS
  4. Go to Prague and spend all your money in Captain Nemo's Erotic Submarine
  5. Urr does having 500bhp mean you're always using all of it? Correct me if i'm wrong but does that supercharger makes all that power from sod all revs? People are so scared of the zed as it is in winter, simply don't get why tbh. Not at all mate. But why take the risk? All I did was change lanes at 25mph, hit a patch of ice, span 720 degrees, almost wiping out 2 other cars. It's easy done the more powerful the car is as you use less throttle. A slight tap too hard on some ice or slush etc and you are facing the wrong way. I drove my Zed in the winter as it was my only car, but it only had OEM power, and if it even looked like going below 5 degrees I used public transport. The memory of those pics still haunt me ! I still get a little freaked out when I drive down that road. Even when I'm only driving my Honda piece of crap

  7. There was no berating, nor slander, nor bullying of anykind. Maybe I was offering to help you and figured I could advise you since you were asking question. Something which I have experience with (to my own cost). But you don't seem to take on any advice people give you. As for the Morphine....I'm not even gonna open that can of worms. Get better soon etc etc.
  8. You have completely missed the point. It doesn't matter what you do to a 500bhp Zed, it's gonna be crap in winter weather. Abbey can't stop you sliding on ice/snow etc. Hell, not even God can help you with that one. I honestly give up.
  9. The shed has served me well for the past 9 months, but with the twins on the way it's time for one last expensive car purchase. It's making way for an X-Trail Anyways; 2003 Honda Accord Tourer 2.0l VTEC SE 97500 miles 5 Speed manual Full Service History (majority Honda with later ones being Independants) MOT May 2013 TAX Dec 2012 Spec: - Cloth Interior - RDS Stereo with CD Player and steering wheel controls - Duel Zone climate control with Air Conditioning - Electric Windows all round - Electric sunroof - Electric opening tailgate Recent work: - New front pads and discs 5000 miles ago (Dec 2011) - 4 new tyres 2000 miles ago (June 2012) - New rear pads last week (Sept 2012) - osr new wheel bearing fitted at last MOT (May 2012) Bad points: - Alloys could do with refurb - various small scratches on paint work. - Last service (Dec 2012) wasn't stamped in book, but I have all the paperwork from it for proof. Only wanting £1400 for it, which is fair with regards to the alloy refurb. Located in Hartlepool, North East (about 30 mins from Newcastle). ------------- Pics are from when I bought it, I will upload newer ones when I get chance. (members of the team and the club in general can vouch for this being my car which is why there is no piece of paper in the photo's)
  10. You've got what? 450-460bhp? (I forget now). It don't matter what you do, that kinda power through the rear wheels only is always gonna be uncomfortable during the winter. I for one would just park it up in a nice garage and take it back out in the spring. Wider tyres in icy condition would actually make your grip worse. 443 at the wheels and a smaller pulley on the way hoping to make it the 1st RHD 500 BHP at the wheel from a GTM Supercharger. Lexx And you still want to drive it in the winter? with 500 at the hubs?! Step away from the Vodka and go buy a FWD drive shed for the winter months. 19's (IMO) are for show. I had them on mine, but I never tracked my car. If I did, I would have put a set of lightweight 18's on. My VXR8 had 440bhp, and I took that out in the winter one day later than I should have......ended up with £16k of damage and 6 months off the road for repairs. It ain't worth the risk

  12. Vegas if you can all afford it. Prague if you want it on the cheaper side. I've been to Prague twice, and heading back there in 4 weeks for a long weekend. Love the place.

    Rear Badges

    Coupe has 2 holes behind the badge. You would need to fill/sand/paint the area.
  14. I like how the hero just saunters over the track like he has all the time in the world.

    Duel or not?

    A TD exhaust is perfectly fine on a NA Zed. If you went TT then it would be practicaly a neccesity which is where the advice you previously got is based. They won't give you any power gains on a non tuned car.....but no exhaust would. What the hell are you drinking?
  16. I was on a ship off the coast of the US, and berthed in Newark 4 days after the towers collapsed. The entire of Manhattan was still a dust cloud as we sailed past. I went back for the first time last year and visited the memorial. Very moving. I see on FB today many people going on about conspiracies etc etc. pisses me off. Let's just remember those lost on this day, and use the rest of the year to spout theories and ideas.
  17. Where are you based? There may be an independant garage near you that has the Nissan Consult diagnostics software that we can recommend.
  18. Jammy git! free holiday. I've been to Miami many times over the years with work. Only ever really got to see the docks and the surrounding area though.
  19. Black smoke is also the sign of a screwed Cat
