I found the info on a Civic forum. some of them simply cut off the cover. Its a dust cover IIRC. Not something I wanted to do, as I didnt want to run the risk of crap getting in. I just trimmed off the misshapen bits, and lightly greased around the inside edges. Seems to have worked so far.

I have Tein coilvers fitted, and get a similar noise. Although mine is more of a squeek I guess. Flacon Performance lubricated every part and coundnt find the problem. A member on here pointed out an issue, which when I looked at firther, was the problem. At the top of the shocks is a plastic cover which fits over the bump stops. Unfortunatly this gets misshapen over a number of miles, and end up rubbing on the side of the shock, and against the bump stop. Some small modification with a stanly knife sorted out the passenegr side, just need to do drivers side when I get a chance.

IIRC, any dealer should be able to source you a car. they have access to the Nissan database which lists all the cars in the system ( I distinctly remember this, as I got my 350 the same way) All they need to do is find one that hasnt been allocated, and then sell it to you. IE, they dont have to get a car in, then sell it to you. They simply sell you one thats int he system, or on the boat, or in the compound, and then it gets allocated to you, and shipped to their dealership for you to collect. Try calling Benfield Nissan in Newcastle. They have 2 demo cars in, and a quick chat should be able to sort you. And they aint too far away from Glasgow

Just go into a dealership, tell them what you want, and they will access the computer tecnho stuff, and will tell you if there is one like that in the country available, or if one is due in on a boat.

Nice one Amy - About time you got your hands on her! As tempting as it may be for you to sell up, and you'd be quids in considering you got her for free. With the problems you listed above, you could have problems selling her. I cant even get anyone to look at my modified Zed, and it all works! Maybe you could price up bits and pieces you would need to get her sorted? Im sure between R35LEE and ZMANALEX you'd be able to get the interior bits for a reasonable price. And you'd likely be able to flog the Ings front nose and rpelace it with something you wanted if you didnt like it. Same with the bonnet. Good luck with whatever you decide, we're hear to help and give criticism (i mean advice! ) Al

dude, you didnt even bother replyinng to my last PM....

You want a white Zed instead of an Azure?

youve already been beaten to it boys

MLC35 - well - the meet went ahead and I have to say only a small majority had tampered with their Exhaust. Although FakeIndian was there and the Scorpion Exhaust was nice, although I couldn't live with the rasp. It's a bit much for me. Nice, but not my cup of tea. The Nismo Exhaust, can't think who had that installed (too many names to comprehend) that was nice. Middle of the range sound, no rasping, although a nice deep warble at tickover. Since the meet, I have been on youtube and been looking at umpteen various other exhausts, I am still non the wiser as to which exhaust will suit my needs. The 5zigen exhaust is a possibility, prices are a little high, and I'm not sure what you get for a grand, whether it be just the back section or y-pipe as well? I really don't want to just point an exhaust and fit, and I'm dying to get the ARC induction kit fitted and re-map. I think I may go mad?! If its the same 5zigen as mine, then its a Cat-Back system - ie, no Y-Pipe and OEM cats in place

Martinmac has owned at least one that I know of. It's what Im going to be replacing my 350 with if/when it sells.

bud, Ive probably spoken to you before at JNE meets. probs see you next Sunday.

from the NE crew

Lee's still around. Saw him on Friday.

I feel your pain mate. GLWTS, and I hope she goes to someone who will look after her.

Thanks to everyone who has made this place somewhere I have been proud to be over the past 2.5 years.

Woody, do you not remember a thing I say!?! Try SEM in Sunderland. They should be able to sort you out. The owner can sound a bit of an a**e, but they know their stuff.

I feel guilty entering since Im selling up! But it would be a symbol of good memories of a great car for me.

As an example of insurance - I renewed when I was 28, with 5 years NCB, all mods covered like for like replacement, £750, including my fiance as a named driver. When decalring mods, remember to tell them that they are non-performance enhancing. As for the Bose. Its an adequate system if all you want to do is listen to CD's and the radio. Many people upgrade becasue they either want to be able to play .mp3 or connect and ipod. Also if you are a big music nut, then the sound quality to a trained ear isnt exactly fantastic. For the majority though, its more than adequate.

Hi mate, I currently have a guy interested in the car, but the way my luck is going, it'll still be for sale in June. If the gentleman decides not to buy, then I will be replacing the wheels with Rays. Front nose will stay the same. As for the price, it wont change. The car is priced the same as a standard car already. Although I could be open to some negotiation. Drop me a PM if you want any more info. Al

I'm very much more tempted by Download this year tbh bud, Leeds isn't what it used to be imo........ it's getting very V-Festivalyish if that makes sense Aye, we were thinking the same. Gunna wait to see who's headlining Leeds before deciding. Annoying that the main bands I go see are on the lock up stage, and that wont be announced till June!

Nice looking Dene. I look forward to seeing it in the flesh! You going to Leeds this year btw?

For the love of God it's the 6 Nations! Its not just Rugby! It's the chance to see history in the making! (or see Scotland get thumped again) Stick to your guns Jay! Im on nights, but will be purposely getting up to watch it!

They aint pink.... they are.... PINK!!!

I have someone coming to view the Zed tomorrow morning, and he seems quite keen having just sold his Alfa Brera. So spent a good few hours this morning claying and meguiring. I'm gunna really miss her when she goes
