WTF??!! I cant even thing of a good reason why

WARNING : THIS POST REQUIRES A LOT OF HEAD TILTING!! Well quite an interesting day. Got to Daves at about 9am to be greeted by his mom ( ) and a bacon sandwich. Met Grant (BladesGrant) at Leomington for a quick laugh about his Bermuda shorts and to pick his ECU up. Arrived at Abbey at about 11.30 and Mark got to work sorting Grants ECU. While Mark was working me and Dave had a cup of coffee and a wander around abbey. Its like a skyline production line!! (Ian, I would advise you look no further) Anyway, after a short while me and Dave were called into Marks 'headmasters' office for a telling off mainly about Dave's bodges that could have blown South England into its own little island. (feel free to post pics Mark ) A short while later Dave handed over his hard earned cash, got his keys and we were off! I jumped into the supercharged beast at the petrol station for a go in the passenger seat and wow!! We hit the dual carriageway and were gaining on a red EVO 9 when the car lost all power and stalled. At this point Dave was litterally shaking, we hadn't got a clue what had gone wrong and both of us had the damaged engine thought in the back of our minds (see video below) After limping back to Abbey, Mark managed to diagnose the problem. The culprit was a non flanged pipe on the intake which pushed the hoses on to the supercharger belt that in turn cut through the soft hose. After a while eyeing up DJTIMOs new engine and chatting with Mark (awesome bloke, really, really knowledgeable) he managed to fabricate Dave a pipe and get us up and running again All we had left was the journey home when Dave managed to get the attention of a Carrera 4S owner and proceeded to spank him The car is an absolute beast and fair play to Dave for his DIY (oh, and yes his alloys are pink ) Bonus flyby vid

I took my Zed to the Lickey hills last year in the snow, went sledging, got back and couldnt move it I managed to get it moved in the end by flooring it and being pushed sideways by 5 mates

Happy Birthday Nixy!! Have a good one

But could you be seen in a car with pink wheels Good point. I'm also going to set off 10 mins after you to make sure I'm not seen to be anything to do with it

I look forward to driving your car back while you bring back my van tomorrow dave

yee haw

woot woot. Ring me when you get her back on Sat

err.. the rest of us have an edit button

Has anyone that has tried it got one of them flip keys spare? I might have an idea

I think everyone is overreacting a bit here personally. You won the car Amy and at the end of the day the repair of the few audio bits ect is going to be less than 1k. If I got a fully functional bumped and repaired Zed for that much I'd be chuffed. Whos to say the next Zed you buy wont develop a coolant problem and quite a few people replace the audio system any way. The interior can go on ebay (some blind muppet will buy it) and you will probably get more than a stock interior is worth. I think you should put the worries to the back of your mind and just enjoy it Oh, and everyone most say they wont mod the Zed at first, though few people stick to it

The thing I'm most shocked about is Porsche have actually managed to design something sexy! The alloys play tricks on my eyes though, are they clear?? By the time it reaches production it'll probably just look like a 911 again though

the original nismo wing of this style doesnt actually clear the boot if i remember correctly it has foam pads in between the tips and the boot metal. this may be different i dont know. Sorry to go OT but from what I found searching my350z: cheshirecat79: "Just a note- the V1 JDM version should not touch the hatch on either side. The tips will be about 3/16ths or 1/2'' from the hatch." So I take it most people have the USDM version as mine is the only one I have seen so far that doesnt touch Makes sense I suppose as the USDM/JDM sideskirts are different too

ME LIKEY!!

Very nice Zed Amy, glad to see you finally have it! Please make your first mod some spacers though

+1 Lucky b.... to the club

The cloth seats are neither electric nor heated guys

Pretty long story but awesome achievement!! Who wants to go halves on a 318?? http://jalopnik.com/5497042/how-a-500-c ... lly-racers

Nurrish did for a good few months. Dont see why there would be any problems at all Pretty sure there are a few people with them in.

I agree John. I don't think people should be allowed to post pics hours after the original post either. If you really wanted to sell something you would take pics and follow the rules

C'mon mate, please try and use the search. I use a Bosch asiaSILVER 12v 40Ah 330a model number 540126033

peh.. small turbos That thing is ridiculous

Definitely fit the bungs for long motorway journeys, I went to France last year and had to have them in on the way to and from Dover as it was unbearable. I took the out once I got there though as I do love the sound without bungs To answer your question the bungs take away a lot of the in cabin drone but IMO make the K1 sound a bit raspy.

to the club Very nice Zed in a lovely rare colour

Thats my fav vid of the Jun. My fav is the Esprit Z33 (dont know how to embed the vids - sorry ) oh, I know now
