So I have joined Ekona in the Porsche exodus as I have now sold my 911! I bought it in February this year and from day one i never really 'got on' with it. I had some good times with it but to be honest i'm glad to see the back of her. It developed a couple of oil leaks whilst i had it, and the exhaust was blowing (which I repaired with a new clamp and some high temp sealant), but just listening for every knock/clunk and wondering what it was going to cost me was taking the fun away from ownership. All said and done i've not lost any money on it as I sold it for what I paid for it, so i'm happy to say i've ticked the box, but i wont be getting another one. I'm not looking to replace the 911 as i've got an e90 BMW as my main car which is more than adequate. However i am looking to get a RWD track car in the new year, probably an MX5 or an E36 and get back into drifting at Oulton Park and do more track work than I have done in recent years. A few pics from the for sale ad.

I've just been doing more digging on this. It looks like all prices to the Atlanta hub were wrong, so you could get anywhere in the states for less than £250. However reading on some forums (HotUKDeals etc) the prices were fixed in the last hour, and people have been getting emails to say their bookings have been cancelled. If you dont hear anything Squee, i'd try to leave booking your hotel for as long as possible in case it gets cancelled.

To be fair though i'd be careful. Net flights appear to just be a broker, so whilst they may have miss priced, when they come to book your flights with Virgin Atlantic youll get an email saying they cant do it. I've just been on the VA site and the prices are no where near these.

Damnit i've already been this year.... do i need to go again? Hmmm.

Sorry Ian, horns are sold.

Hi guys, Whilst in my garage i've just found a couple of left over parts from when i had my zed. First up is a genuine Nissan option 'Sports Horn' sold in Japan. It's a higher pitch tone than the UK horn. The fit is a straight swap for the standard UK horns. I've included some wiring harness to but you wont need this as you will be able to use your standard harness. £15 delivered. [Edit - Horns are now SOLD] This part is also sold here: http://www.courtesyp...0z-p-19457.html Second is a set of JDM triple gauge pods, removed from my JDM zed when i fitted UK ones instead. When removed 3 years ago they were in perfect working order. Note these display the fuel usage in KPL as opposed to MPG, just like all JDM guage pods. £15 delivered.

Managed to locate the driver & he paid body shop directly. How did you do that?

See i dont have enough confidence in humanity to park like this, despite wanting to. Sadly its just asking for a keying.

This was me at Donnington a few years ago.

Donnington is a great track, you should enjoy that. A good mix of fast turns and undulations.

That looks like copper grease to me.

Wow

I definitely prefer this look. It will look seriously awesome with some spacers though.

Look for posts by Greekman, if they're still on this site. If i remember rightly he had an HR and had no end of troubles with his CSC. Did ZMANALEX assist in his situation?

Website says $499, although you can pre order it now for $299.

Does the throttle position re-learning procedure work on the HR models? May be worth a shot.

Hmmm... being serious for a change, it sounds like some form of fueling issue, perhaps being caused by a shift in gravity of going down hill. Are you particularly low on fuel when this happens, and are the hills quite steep? Alternatively does it ever do it round bends? It sounds like the TCS may be cutting in and switching power from the wheels momentarily. What tyre sizes are you running?

Perhaps your engine brake is stuck on, which is causing the juddering?

Anymore before the season starts on Saturday?

How about if im selling a car now that has 6 months tax. Will that still be valid until next year?

You can also buy a paddle shift kit to retrofit to the auto zeds. Works Bell Column Shift Kit. http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=631PS-Z33&Category_Code=WB-PADDLE-SHIFTER

If you intend to track your car, dont get an auto. I've had both auto and manual zeds. For the majority of time, i definitely preferred having an auto.. Easy to drive, and importantly easy to drive fast on a country lane. However on a track, when you need to make sure you're in the right gear at the right time, whilst maintaining grip levels etc - this is almost impossible with the 350z auto. That said - i would happily buy another auto zed.

I think there's been a network infrastructure issue somewhere in the country. Our Company has had connectivity problems all day, for which a 3rd party provider has taken responsibility for.

So i traded in BF4 at the weekend and bought Tomb Raider and CoD Ghosts. I've played about half an hour of TR. Not my kind of game but i'll give it a go. I've done an hour on CoD and it's already hugely better than BF4 imho.
