Well, I wont be in a 350z by May, but hopefully I will be on another Z stand

28, and had the Zed 2 years.

I never got a chance to drive an R3 RX8, but have heard that the suspension is much more poised, and the interior refinement has stepped up a notch. If I wasnt going back to work tomorrow (work in Dover!) Id have taken you out in my Zed so you could have got a feel.

Yeah, I owned a 231 RX8 for 4 years. Traded it in for the Zed 2 years ago. First I'll start by saying the oil thing is not an issue. and everyone who has owned one for longer than 5 minutes will agree. I used about 1 litre every 1200 miles. Which when purchasing from Opie Oils, costs bugger all really. They are quite a thirsty car, the RX8. I find that on motorway driving the Zed is much better on economy. However, the Rex is a pain in the ass to drive smothly in heavy traffic. Very jerky car. For spirited driving on twisty roads, I'll behonest and say the Rex was better than the Zed. It feels ligther and more adgile. Begging to be thrown into corners close to the redline in 3rd. The interior is better in a Rex than in early Zeds, but from 06 Id say that the Zed is better, and way more comfortable to drive. tbh, its one of those discussions that could go on forever. My suggestion would be to test drive both, on more than a few occasions, and see which one you really want to have another go in. Have a search on the forum for RX8 - you will see quite a few threads comparing them with the Zed. And many comments from former RX8 owners who have came this way. There arent many owners who went the other way.... Hope that helps Al

As said above, plenty of members from round here. (monkey hanger myself) Which car club do you run? (dont worry, it wont be taken as advertising) There should be a meet coming up in Feb (depending on my work allowing me to get the time to organise it!) Cheers Al

GT4 was a limited run of black and yellow cars with the rev-up engine. Not technically a "top Spec" since you cant buy it new anymore.

GT is the top spec for a UK car yup. There isn't a turbo version, and to twin turbo a Zed you are talking anything from £9k for 400bhp, then limitless amounts of cash for more. Have a look at the wheels section on the modification part of the forum for many different wheels and colour combo's Search is your friend Or stretch to £18.5k and buy mine!

nm, nailed it

level 30 got me stumped

I sold mine for £500 over a year ago, and the 040's on them had only done 5000 miles. But like everyone says, the 040's are rubbish.

wasnt on the album. This one was done special for the MTV movie awards

Do a search for their other songs; On a Boat Like A Boss **zz in my pants. All awesome

Been following this thread right the way through. And I gotta admire your patience with this. I just had a hunt online to see if I could find a copy of the competition add, and see what the smmall print was. Im pretty sure that they will have wrote on the competition form when the winner would be announced. If this date has passed, you are well within your right to force their hand into revealing the winner in the mag or on their website. Once thats done, you can get as pi**ed at them as you like, and they still have to give you the car. And you would have a much firmer legal footing.

Already on the list Ian....

and 1 Sarnie to say despite the fact its a light bulb, it needs spacers and lowering...

The K&N is oil based aint it?? Nismo Sual CAI used fabric/paper/whatever filters, not metal ones. I take mine off and give them a good rinse in fresh water, and leave to thoroughly dry.

tell him to scrounge more cash and buy my Zed

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo going to see this on opening day!

Unfortunatly not, I flogged the Rays to another member, and the original front nose was donated to BigPhil for an experiment that never happened. The exhaust went free to a member on here who's had blown. Got the original lip spoiler and gear knob though

Bit of a thread revival.... Mines not standard, but thought I'd plug it anyway viewtopic.php?f=56&t=31246

If you somehow manage to stretch your budget to £18.5k then drop me a line

He was a guest at the Teesside Fire Safety competition when I was in Senior School. He was a creep then too.

I've actually shaken Maddlesons hand when he was MP for Hartlepool

I was just about to post the same thing!

Keep an eye out on the regional meets forums for the next North East meet. Probably early February. Hope to see you and the 370 there
