Where you from mate?

I was heading North, trying to bend the needle of the hire cars rev counter

spotted yesterday, I was going the other way in my hire car.

Ekona only made those comments, because a number of people have given you a fair bit of advice in this thread (which is after all what you have asked for), and yet you have ignored it almost all and just made comments about other things. Im glad it's finally going to see Alex, but thats something that was suggested ages ago in the thread. I've only just read this thread all in one, and to be honest, it was really annoying to read - so I see Ekona's point. Hope you get it sorted soon though pal and get the under 15's you're after. If not, I suggest lessons.

Cant have been Jurgen as I think his engine is still in bits. Maybe BigPhils old car? Believe it went to a business man who lives in Sunderland

from one of the many ex-RX8 owners on here. Try to refrain from calling them crappy, you'll hurt my feelings. I had 4 very enjoyable years with my Rex

They were being pedantic about your use of English mate.

Thanks for all the info so far guys Especially on the shipping info - anything that saves money there is greatly appreciated! I cant wait to get started, but think it may take a few months longer than expected to get all the cash together Still, gives me plenty of time to do heaps more research and make sure I get it right. I'm stuck on my boat for a few weeks at the moment, but will be giving Mark at Abbey a ring when I get home and start discussing needs etc.

$200 extra for the RHD version

ok ok, before you all start going on about the for sale thread, and wishing Id make my mind up I'll explain whats happened. Basically, the car wouldnt sell, I coulndt strip her to standard, and was fed up of a particular few dreamers and w@nkers who basically wanted something for nothing. I did alot of driving over the weekend, and basically fell back in love with the Zed again. And as of today, she is officially no longer for sale. A few of the NE members know of my new plans already. I've spent the past few days spending a good deal of time over on my350z forum, but im not posting as I cant be bothered with the flaming Its all very well using the search function over there, and it is full of loads of good info, but sometimes UK specific questions need to be asked. Im using this thread for you guys to give your knowledge and imput to help me work through all this. I'm looking at getting the GTM Twin Turbo kit Stage 2 (found half way down this page http://www.turbo-kits.com/350Z_turbo_kits.html#07-08) After doing much reading, it appears that the stock HR engine is good for circa 500bhp without changing internals. A number of cars in the US have ran for a few years without issues at these levels. some are every day cars. Ive PM's Abbey for their input, but would appreciated any knowlegable opinions from anyone else. Main reason for chosing this kit over the GReddy one, is that it comes with many of the parts already included - fuel pump, injectors etc. And the reviews from the US are that they are all quality parts. and at $8500 dollers even with import duty and shipping, I'd hope to be only looking at about £8000. I'm a complete Noob at all these things really, and totally learning as I go. I wont be installing the kit myself, I'll leave that to the pro's. Additional parts needed - Fuel return system True Duel exhaust uprated brakes turbo timer guages and their associated wiring and about 100 other little things!! I'm budgetting about £11k, plus whatever else it costs for installation and mapping. Just gotta find all the money now Wish me luck!

Dont know if you guys can look at this thread without being a member http://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/vi ... 7&start=45 This is what happens when you dont do a test run of the planned route!

didnt they just forcast snow for this week though....

they do indeed shuck. I cant recommend them highly enough. Both out cars get serviced there now, and I wouldnt consider anywhere else

F**k it, im not selling, Im FI'ing instead!

both easy to remove, but rear one leaves 2 holes in your boot lid

Good luck selling mate Hope you get more interest than me!

dropping someone off outside Lloyds last night

Happy Birthday Nic! If anyone asks, I'll swear to them its only your 21st!

Didnt I vote for 399.9bhp? Nice one buddy

Adam - I dont think the EH in Boro have one. I went for a test drive a few months ago, and was told that it was the garage through in Darlo which had it. Although they may have swapped around now. Besides which EH in boro are a bunch of *******

Doesnt matter what colour its in, its a GT-R!

Yup, thats the one.

I had a custom exhaust made for my RX8 many years ago. place called MIJPerformance did it for me, and it was made to the exhaust sound that Id asked for. As has been said, its down to personal choice. Get yourself to some local meets and have a listen to what people have

Am I the only one having an issue with some of the smilies? Mainly viewing the wink, tongue sticking out one - the tongue one ends up looking like a heart beating :-s
