  1. Very nice Chris... its just missing something though... i cant quite put my finger on what.... ... maybe..... ..ah yes an arcade machine and juke box, thats it!
  2. I just upgraded my cable to HD this morning in preperation....
  3. TCS light? They weren't stupid enough to put the c ar on the rollers were they, thus damaging your diff??
  4. It looks like its just come off a jump the way the rear suspension is right down... its the upward movement that gives it the momentum to get off the ground...
  5. Yep, look for a place called Moss Side... it'll be fine there...
  6. Mine was a poverty spec auto, so it doesnt get any worse.... and i got £8k with 12k more miles...
  7. Yeah cheers Chris, shame we never got to meet up Im only tentative selling..... When I really want to get rid I will put it on Auto Trader at 9k.... I sold 7 cars in a year and a half on there before I found the Zed... im just dragging my heels so I can tell the Mrs im trying Same mate. Sure we would of had a laugh...
  8. Gutted for you mate, and know how you feel. However, i think this is priced too cheaply. I got £8k for my '03 JDM Auto, with 67k and only recent history, on 17's. It was standard body as well (apart from intake duct and eyelids in the end, which i think are more likely to reduce the value?!), so i would stick yours up for £9k definitely. Also, i advertised mine on here, pistonheads twice, and ebay several times with no joy at all, but it sold on autotrader at the forst time of asking. Same for the bmw i sold recently too - went first time on autotrader. Good luck though matey.
  9. When you have a car like that, you find any excuse at all to go out for a drive...
  10. I've wanted some of these for ages...and they come up for sale 6 days after i sell my zed... The same with Rich, Srobrien and Jacr's stuff.... i could have spent a fortune this week...!
  11. When they're totally finished, im gonna put the coffee table up at £400 + delivery, but im not sure i'll sell the arcade. If i did though i'd try it at £750....
  12. Yeh i've been on there for a while - fantastic site. Some people are so creative. If you're into diy builds, this is a great read... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.p ... 9826.0;all From experience though, the PC and monitor are the cheapest parts to get...simple tally of my arcade would be as follows: Wood - £60 Perspex - £30 Controls - £50 Chrome trim - £25 Paint - £8 Glue - £12 Graphic - £5 Felt - £10 Monitor - £50 Misc cabling - £40 Coin Mech - £10 Tools (angle grinder, several drill bits, jigsaw blades, etc etc) £30 Total cost to build approx £350... Worth every penny though.
  13. Go to Lockwood & Greenwood nix... not that far from you is it? You get a courtesy car and a day shopping in Manchester, all for £220 for a p3.
  14. Cheers Stan... am hoping i finish the jukebox table to a standard good enough to sell. As for next project, im not sure. Hopefully more of there Im using a front end called Maximus Arcade... it is very cool. You can get a trial online, or there is a crack available for it too. You configure which emulator .exe file to load for each console and point it at the games, and thats it! Set it to run on startup too, and configure the joystick buttons to shutdown the PC etc, and its all you need for a fully functioning arcade. What is a Puggy? I googled it to no avail...
  15. Welcome pal... i quite fancy one of those...
  16. Why not go here and see if you can get a deal... we know how much they like zeds... http://www.s2000-4u.co.uk/
  17. Hi all, As i've already posted on here, i built an arcade machine last year... (see the build threads here:http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=29534&hilit=arcade and viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26206&hilit=arcade+blog ) Anyway, it has remained untouched until this weekend, when i finally got round to mounting a plexi-glass screen. This entailed moving the existing fascia back by 8inches and mounting everything in black felt. It doesnt show that well in the pics, but it now looks amazing... it is now of a quality that i could sell it. I just need to tidy up the inside of it, and neaten up the holes in the sides. Now my second project that i started around 4 weeks ago is a coffee table with a PC in it, and 2 monitors mounted. I originally started this planning to build an arcade table, but the more i got into it, i decided to just keep it as a jukebox. I intend to put this on eBay when its finished (i still have to tidy up the cabling inside, and put some kind of bezel around the screens). Anyway, it looks pretty special, i think. Enjoy!
  18. It is actually 112.5mph, but it displays 120mph. All Jap cars are restricted. Can be delimited using an HKS Speed Defencer which are around £25o i think, or a remap from Abbey can sort it whilst improving the car too, for double that probably.
  19. Rich, sorry to hear this bud... and i think i know better than most what it feels like I have to say now my zeds gone, i think i generally feel happier... £250 a month extra in my pocket and some hefty debts paid off is a nice feeling. My main concern was if i bought a reasonable looking car, people would think it was something i was really proud of and it was the best i could do, so i bought something really crap instead I've actually bought a '99 ford fiesta in black and you know what, its not that bad. I thought i would be mortified driving it (i've always had high powered bmw's in the past), but im really enjoying it. And for the first time in my life i've been very sensible - once my fiancee's immigration/legal problem is sorted she will be able to get a driving license - so i will give her the fiesta, and i'll come and get another zed... As for the s2k... my mate has one and it is DREADFUL inside... so small and cramped. I hated it. It is a mental drive though... but i think they start at £7k?
  20. I'll have the X5... i love estorill blue.
  21. Very impressive mate... the black rays look Loving the colour coded eyelids and LED's too...
  22. Well worth sorting the airbag issue before selling mate, however small. It would put me off buying it personally. Nice car though, good luck with the sale
