    Width ?

    I sold my VXR to a mate and still get to drive it every so often, so don't miss it that much at all I miss the sheer speed of the 116 when on track, but other than that I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. On normal roads the Zed is just as quick due to the more compliant suspension, and of course the comfort factor is a big issue too. The 350 is a far lazier car to drive and less involving, but for my personal driving needs it's more than enough to keep me entertained and not freezing my bits off in the winter is a nice bonus too! One day I'll get something built by Lotus again, but it'll be in addition to a GT car rather than on its own.
  2. You sure it's a genuine 2005 car though? Check when it was made, not when it was registered over here.
  3. There's enough ammo there for me to be asking serious questions about the car, especially seeing as how 350Zs aren't exactly rare right now. It might be all innocent, just seems a tad weird to me. Maybe he did an oil change every 5K miles and recorded that as a service?
  4. I've sneaked both the Zed and my previous VXR220 into the MR2 Only magazines
  5. WD40 is crap, you need proper penetrating oil like PlusGas
  6. Considering he's already dropped £400 you may not get as much as you think, tbh it's not bad value as it stands really. That's assuming it's a genuine 2005 car. Wait, why has it had 7 services in the UK? It's only done 32K miles...
  7. CHAVVY McCHAV AND THE CHAV-CHAV CREW RESPECT INNIT BRAAAAP Really not keen on them at all.

    No chance, you need to squeeze out past the door which barely opens enough to do so and you will catch the side of the seat every single time. The VXR is much easier to escape from in that respect, it's a real PITA in the Zed but it is doable. I just know that one day I'm going to park too close to the left hand side in the garage and then hear that SSSCCCCRRRAAAPPPEEE noise and then cry like a girl
  9. I wouldn't be buying a car that didn't have two things that I really wanted, and especially not from someone who doesn't know how big 5" actually is: His missus must be so disappointed. Also mismatched tyres, And The Use Of Caps For Every Word Is Quite Irritating. Still, if you're already decided on it then I'm not sure what use our opinions are. Leather retrim will be from about £600+ I would expect depending on what you want and where you go, Brembos are easy to pick up from someone like Zmanalex on here. That said, do the Brembos even fit a 17" wheel? I don't know, genuine question.
  10. Agreed, and that's why I prefer them. I took my girlfriend's MR2 mk3 out for a blast the other weekend and on country lanes where power really doesn't matter, I reckon I was quicker over 90% of them in that than I would be in the Zed. The perfection of the balance is just so wonderful, they really are an absolute joy to drive.
  11. God damn that's beautiful

    GTR Alloys on 350Z

    Personally I don't like them. They make the car look too small, like a giant rollerskate or something.
  13. Just get the correct sizes, even if you have to wait.

    Exactly what I had to do when I had my VXR, and it's a damn sight harder to get out of the Zed in my garage. The VXR never had the roof on in the garage so like you say it's a piece of cake to get out of, however I have to park the Zed to one side just to give myself enough room to squeeze out of.
  15. Ship to where? Weight is approx 90kg so courier isn't going to be peanuts, but if you're happy to pay it I will consider shipping if you want to get a few quotes.
  16. Pay for it like everyone else I would imagine
  17. With two knobs the front one adjusts the front of the seat base up/down, the second knob does the rear of the seat base up/down.
  18. I don't know if having a 30 profile all round is keeping the rolling radius the same. If you use the link I supplied then you'll see that it keeps the rolling radius as close to original specs as is possible. Don't just take my word for it, give it a go yourself and see.
  19. What he meant was is that it's not a 313ps HR engined MY07 car. It certainly is a 2007 car though.
  20. Nice wall/fence Car must've been made just before the MY07 HR revision assuming the bonnet is standard, but all the cool kids have the revup anyway Good to see you've got the roof down too
  21. Use this and all shall be revealed 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 are the correct sizes if you're going to keep the rolling radius the same.
  22. None do, and you have to change the head unit to do it properly. A search reveals all.
  23. Sports car = 2 doors, 2 seats, mid-engined, convertible. SEOT
  24. Bump for price reduction
