  1. Not sure about white, its not bad but i prefer the darker colours
  2. and you know this how??? Poppy bombed I could understand i'm posh, they're poopy's down here
  3. have a google at ipboard and php bb
  4. it has a man style gear box. proper grrrrrrrrrr
  5. repairs are fine as long as the puncture is not on the side wall, and about an inch from the edge. a repaired tyre is fine if its done right.
  6. get a lurcher, then its competition for rabbit catching, you can then stand around in a field and place bets on ya dag, and the winner gets a caravan
  7. I'm a pioneer, and they love me, i have my own flat cap and everything. just saving up for the wippet.
  8. don't hate it, otherwise i wouldn't still be here; but i'm a realist, its got alot better round here; this forum used to suffer majorly from zed tinted glasses. anyone visiting would have thought it to be the enzo owners club.
  9. only need to drop the tyre pressure if it snows.
  10. what about boo yakka shar! me Bredrin!
  11. i have a soft spot for evo's, my mate has a scooby and i love the sound of the flat four. and if i was to ever take up amatuer rallying the evo would be at the top of the list. but i'd never own one as a daily driver. the interiors are even more plastic than the zed, and as a place to be everyday its the biggest let down. take all the spoilers and bodykits off an evo or scooby and you have a very dull looking japanese saloon. especially the old scooby's they look like old hyundai lantra's
  12. @AMT250 the zed is great for people to pub number quote. its got a V6 its got 309 bhp it does 0-60 in 5.7 sec etc etc. these are the factory figures. but you'd be hard put to actually get it to do a 0-60 in 5.7 its more like a dead on 6. you'd need to be a pro racer with a perfect gear change to get the acclaimed 5.7 sec. what your also have to consider is the more real world facts that mean more like power to weight ratio. for instance the zed has about 180 bhp per ton as she's a heavy car. then compare it to say an old shape civic type R at just over 1.2 ton has 167 bhp per ton, thats just a difference of 13 bhp between the 2 cars, which is not alot. and why many owners have been suprised when they've kept up. do the states again for an early zed and its bhp per ton is 173 only a 6 bhp difference. thats just 1 car. then take into account some of the faster hot hatches.which are turbo'd etc, the difference becomes not alot. now what the zed has over alot of these hot hatches is style, rear wheel drive, great poise and balance, the V6 gives great 60-100 acceleration, in gear torque. comfort and something that hasn't been an upgraded shopping cart with some new shiney bits and a better exhaust. the zed is a great car, and a brilliant starting place for those moving from FWD to RWD its a very forgiving car in that respect; and while its weight is a disadvantage for some, its an advantage for others. the cars V6 is its advantage and disadvantage. its power delivery is very linear, which is deceptive. you don;t feel like your going that fast or getting to the correct speed that quickly, but actually it does it very well. its this deceptiveness that i think leads to disappointment for some people, it takes some of the thrill/drama out of the acceleration. people should love the car for what it is. a great japanese GT car with curvacious styling and something you'd want to be seen in.
  13. good news is both you and your passenger are ok, sorry to hear about the car, its always worse when you've invested alot of time into a vehicle.
  14. I'm actually wearing my flat cap today (for school) but now i wear it in salute to you sir.
  15. its japanese, what else would you expect.
  16. have to say thats a cracking piece of advice.
