looking very nice welcome to the V8 club and the luxo-barge club and the money pit club

what filter do you run? is it a standard filter or something else? if it was the standard filter i struggle to see how water would have got that high up the bonnet unless the puddle was 3 feet deep?

its the same plastic, but the buttons are finished better, + the newer ones are about the same round the track but drive better, are smoother, but weigh more and have less torque.

i'm intrigued now, what zed parts fit a volvo?

pro's and con's with all cars, and to be honest others opinions aren't the best basis, you need to make your own mind up. many on here love the zed it is a great car. but for the likes of me it didn;t meet my requirements. the one thing the car did give me was acess to a forum where i made a great bunch of friends, so much so that i have now moved on 2 cars since the zed and i'm still here.

it might help to say where in the world you actually are? I know of lots of good places around the UK for different things. as said above only 3 places in the UK that know how to remap the stock ECU: Horsham Development, Abbey Motorsport and RS Tuning. but if your looking at using an after market ECU then there is a lot more choice possibly one of my first choices would be AEM at silverstone, if you wanted bodywork or engine add ons done people like japex are very good, i have a motor sport specialist near me who work on all my cars an di know of a few others who can work magic with any cars. like Falcon performance in middlesbourgh. or Team AFM near me. so stqart with your address and we can work from there.

+1 That being said, would be just a wee bit @*!#/creepy if your own post turned up on that link i'm a teacher, we're told not to have FB accounts, but if we do it has to be on the highest security setting, keep the kids out etc

I don't understand why people don;t lock their profiles down?

I have had a CTR, 350Z and an S2000 all great cars have to say the best out of all of them was the S2000, i know i'm in the minority here and it wasn't that the zed is a bad car, but the 2 of us just didn't gel. after 12 months i found the car a bit of a disappointment. by 18 months i'd sold it and swapped to the S2K. best move i ever made. i found the zeds engine note a let down, it looked faster than it actually was, had a plasticy interior. its the one car i don't miss after selling. but if this is your first time in RWD cars then the 350Z is a great car to move to. although its RWD its a very predicatable drive, and when it does break away its fairly progessive (tyre dependent) and if you leave the TCS etc all switched on its very nannying and doesn't really let you get out of shape. externally the zed is a great looking car and although i moaned about the plastic inside its far better than a lot of cars, and the kit levels not bad. its a comfy drive for most especially long distance i again am on my own on this but my hip could never find a comfy driving position for anything over a 3 hour drive. its a great GT car, has the low down grunt for overtaking on motorways. 270 bhp may seem alot but its well packaged in the zed and its not an out of control car. but treat it like a numpty with the toys turned off and you'll end up in a hedge. as for the S2K yes i found it a much better drive, but it could be a little more tail happy than the zed, and it has a reputation as a widow maker, not sure why as i found it a very communicativ e and progressive drive. the S2k has a lot smaller cabin space, but it does make you feel like your squeezed into an F1 car. i prefer the leather and the dash in the S2K but its very minimal inside. although everything is right at your fingertips from 10 to 2 driving position. yes it lacks the torque that the zed has but for B road bombing and track work the stook is a dream to drive, the gear change is magic and its made for heel and toe work. (couldn't do it in the zed pedal setup was not right for my dodgy ankle) yes its more tiring on a long drive especially with a loud exhaust on. i don't hate the zed but i always feel it should have been so much more, its a great car for modding, its a good safe start for learning RWD she's big she's planted, she's safe and you get a lot for your money. as a driving car the S2K is the daddy i loved mine, has been one of my all time favourites to drive, very rewarding an di think more enjoyable if you have some RWD experience already. the best advice is go try some cars out, see what you like. one mans whiskey is another mans dishwater.

so i might sound stupid, but i have the same grit on my car, is it actually sand from the sahara?

5 years is worth protecting

whether one what?

depends on how many NCB's your protecting,

see i went from iPhone to Android as i was banging my head with IOS. never had any problems with android, but then i probably dont tax it that much, i don't do major things with it.

tempting, but i'd want a slightly bigger screen

i know that juction well, driven it many a time used both lanes to go down the road you were heading. the biggest issue is driver awareness on that road. yes the lady was in the wrong place, but its as much about your awareness/reaction as it is hers. its a bug$er when things like this happen, i think you'll probably have the police send a letter of warning (my friends had one) and that will be it. sadly it will be your pocket hit for the refurb cost. i wish you all the best with your actions but i have to agree with Ekona and i'll join him on the round about in one of my wifes dress with a sign saying "I'M WITH STUPID! ->"

i know when the 350z was new it had 2 services in its first 9000 miles, the first at about 4000 and then a full at 9000 they may have also been one at 1500 as a quick check up. if the system is like the BMW service thing and its when the car tells you, then yes driving hard can bring servicing forward.

i have Gmail etc, but i don't use it much, i might with the new phone slowly move over to using gmail instead of hotmail.

i think you can also set up a google account and transfer all contacts onto that ready for an android phone

is this because you don't keep a car long, or is it that expensive to transfer plates?

transfer all your contacts to outlook explorer, then android will pick it up from there
