  1. Spacers from Clark Motorsport, trader on here.
  2. Black. Definitely black if you've got black skirts.
  3. Apprentice = GBBO = Strictly = X Factor. They're all the same, regurgitated nonsense. I genuinely do not see the appeal at all.
  4. I drive a big f*ck off black truck, so I'm no help here Anyways though, £1500 for the car + £150 for VED + £400 for insurance + £1000 for fuel = £2500. Is it worth driving a shed (that's likely going to need odds and sods fixing) for that kind of saving? Although obviously in yr2 the costs plummet, but then more risk of expenditure to repair... If it were me, I'd at least buy a fun shed so that you get some enjoyment from it.
  5. Just fit a couple of £15 spacers onto the O2 sensors, will cure the issue 95% of the time. Every one should have a cheapy OBD2 code reader in their car these days anyway, given that we all have smartphones.
  6. *they're Also, there are as many chavs driving cheap Jap sports cars badly as there are yuppies in BMWs that don't indicate.
  7. Oh I'd get the Batman one, that sounds good, but the rest look an absolute pile of tosh.
  8. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B013QG7HAA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Exactly the same as Stan's, but cheaper I bought that a while back, it's absolutely immense. Just buy it, don't even bother with anything else.
  9. Have you seen the reviews creeping through of the 'games' for it yet?
  10. Not until someone can actually figure out what VR is good for other than 5 min blasts, and whether developers have any interest in producing games long-term.
  11. Oh yeah, I just read the word AUTO in the first line and didn't get any further really. It was the sh*t brown colour that put me off!
  12. "I want my car painted in a different colour!" "Of course sir, what colour?" "Turd brown!" "..."
  13. Go and see Mondo from Hide N Seat right here on the forum. He did my wheel for me, spot-on job and more than reasonably priced. Great guy to deal with, and I'm not easily impressed http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/222-hide-n-seat/

    350z Tyre choice

    And less than half as good A lot depends on how you drive you car though too. If you're happy bimbling around then the 453 will probably do you fine, but personally on a sports car I'd rather run something actually sporty.
  15. Meh. If someone wants to go to that much hassle to get my fingerprint, then they're welcome to the £4.72 I have in my account. It would be a lot easier to rob me in the street, and that's also far more likely to happen. Fingerprint recognition on the HSBC app is utter genius, makes life so much easier than faffing around tapping in passcodes.
  16. The 350Z Roadster *is* proper ugly with the roof up, no question about it.

    350z Tyre choice

    453 the best at that price. Although the MPSS are cheaper when you realise they'll last twice as long...
  18. I broadly agree with Docwra on this one. My experience with the S2K is from one very extended road test and one trackday at Anglesey. After the road test I then drove a 350 ragtop and decided straight away that was the right car for me, but on track the S2K was a billion times more fun than a stock 350. The S2K is a great car, and much like the 350 we'll never see another one like it again, but at the same time on the road it did get a bit weary waiting for the power if you weren't trying to be on it all the time. Of course that was flipped round on track, where the lower weight and the desire for revs made it so much more fun to thrape. As Doc says a Stook is harder to provoke by a considerable margin (even after the horror stories of a snappy chassis), so it depends on whether you want neat and tidy or sideways everywhere Splitting hairs though really, both cars are immense and I'd love to own either an S2K or another 350 in the near future.

    Shame he's buying Pirellis now then Seriously Quinster, I would not be putting Pirellis on any car you drive in the wet. Horrible things.
  20. Very kind offer Although I'd suggest ditching the microfibres and getting one of their big f*ck-off carrot cakes instead

    Match the fronts. If they're the 050A and you're happy with them, then just buy the same again.
  22. Proper trackday at the Ring would be worth doing.
  23. Also, welcome and good effort in snapping a propshaft, never seen that before on here!
