  1. Well, what if a "flag" accidentally on purpose hits somebody..... Or..... Ends up where the moon or sun don't shine?
  2. LOVE!! Also the CLS AMG 6.3 the sound is utter sex on a stick with KY on it!!! (Wonder if one of them will fit in the Zed )
  3. Oops. Yeah phone must have been the phone, or my eyes You should not be looking anyway - you have to save for that LSA The title didn't say Super Charger...... maybe I could have made a use for whatever it was. Why were you looking, 2nd SC on a DE yum yum

  5. Doesn't say which car its for Revup or Pre?
  6. +100 strut feet on upside down. For sure!!
  7. I'm right in saying this isn't owned by a member is that right?
  8. Nurrish!? But then he was pushing the envelope.
  9. You've had a mid-life since 20 Chris you'll never stop modding things.
  10. I'll second that one, have a great Birthday
  11. Because that's boring. Why not just go out and get a monaro, because I don't like it and why not do something different. Ask Keyser or DjTimo, Tony420z or 4ReLeather if they think the cost of doing what they have was sensible, or just get another car which was already quick?
  12. I'm thinking this would be a necessity to be fair.
  13. 17k........... You don't drive hard enough.
  14. I can agree with that, some impressive numbers and sounds fantastic. If only D3 were in this country..... I wonder what their package prices are like?
  15. Not yet Dave, although they were partially stripped at the weekend. They will be a while off yet I'm sure.
  16. I also had Mini Disk when it was launched brilliant kit, I even had this in my car.
  17. To be fair I'll probably be taking all the enjoyment factor of my daily use of the car out. And as I'm 40 next year I'm calling it a mid life crisis. I wouldn't drive a v8 every day and I may regret it, but what the hell. I might get run over next year.
  18. I agree with what you're saying but me personally I'd always have a fear of any engine that's been taken apart to be rebuilt. That's just me, maybe I don't have enough faith in some mechanics, to make sure they did it "right". To exceed 450 horse and have reliability in the Zed you need some serious cash. There's not a great deal of room in the Zed for TT's and SC's and this causes potential risks. I'm not saying there are risks, but potential ones. I've seen enough SC Zeds and their stories all different and there's a lot of tinkering needed and additional parts to make the VQ work safely and efficiently. I want to take the simple route and trust GM built the engine in a controlled environment tried and tested. A built motor can be used with many differing brands, some fail, some are rated as crap and some are excellent. Again that would worry me. If I piled £15k to forge the engine and throw in a SC, I'd be devistated to find continual problems. There's a lot of additional parts that make up the bigger picture and again I'd fear the worst. I'm not saying it will go wrong, but I'd worry. Especially as I'm not a mechanic. If I had your ability with knowledge and cars I'd have done exactly the same as its a challenge, my route is the simple way.
  19. Been on a few European trips with the Zed, and when you get 10 mile long tunnels I just can't help myself, but it of course spanks the fuel all this hard acceleration just for the noise. Seriously the XYZ and decat with HFC is a great setup.
  20. Nah standard back box and XYZ with decats and HFC cat. With that setup I get zero annoyance. Those outside the car do because I clout the LOUD pedal all too often especially in tunnels.
  21. Dripped? Looks like it could pour out of that hole. Can't believe the rust on that. Maybe it was driven without an undertray for a while and was exposed to the wet??
  22. The XYZ pipe with HFC pipe will pass an MOT. I love the sound of mine and had great comments. Here's a vid clip, not the best sounding with a rear facing camera and sounds better facing the exhaust or in the car with windows open. You can skip to 1:25 in the vid, or watch from the beginning.
