  1. Hi all,

     

    I fitted my scorpion this weekend, the fit was actually very good (no squeaks or rattles) and I think it looks good on the car - it's quiet subtle but visible to 'those in the know' if that makes sense...

     

    I can only assume that there's a bad batch or two out there which has caused problems for other members.

     

    The only sting in the tail (sorry, couldn't help it) is the noise... I'll give it some time to soot up but it's a little quiet to be honest.

     

    A few piccies!

  2. Hi all,

     

    Poor Chris had his DC5 'jacked' on a test drive this weekend.

     

    I doubt anyone is stupid enough to be driving around in it but it would be good if you could all keep an ear to ground. I'm sure they will look to sell the stereo and other mods seperately or whatever these filth do.

     

    Hopefully the insurance will come good and Chris can join team-Z...

     

    Be careful...

  3. 1). The paint, especially in black.

    2). The 'cancel your fun' ECU.

    3). The lack of (simple) IPOD interaction without replacing the HU, then needing a PAC-ROM, then steering wheel matrix...

     

    I forgive her all that as soon you get to wring her out in 3rd up a slip road and toast mr 330ci on the A-roads :boxing:

  4. Thanks Trev, and may I say that's looking mighty clean :)

     

    Sorry to repeat but does anyone know if US 'super black' is the same as UK Kuro Black? The one's I am planning to order are pre painted.

  5. Hi guys,

     

    Another huge, expensive mod on the way... I'm getting some Nissan OEM splash guards :yawn:

     

    I'm ordering the guards from JDM (pre painted) and I've noticed the colour code is 'super black 2003-2005' as the parts are from the States. Does anyone know if 'super black' is different to the UK Kuro Black?

     

    Also has anyone on the forum fitted these? I would imagine its a few self tapping screws and check alignment before committing.

     

    Thanks,

    Matt.

  6. I'm sure some of you have seen this before.. BUT.. Fast forward to about 30 seconds in. The quality of this kit will have big Phil & Co shaking in their boots! :lol:

     

  7. Hi all,

     

    I have 1 spare ticket and transport organised for anyone interested in going to Le Mans. We depart (from Kent) on the 12th June via Eurotunnel and return on Monday 16th, again via Eurotunnel.

     

    I have the Eurotunnel tickets, race passes for whole weekend, grandstand tickets and camping in Maison Blanche. We also have a six man tent for 3, hopefully 4 people. You would simply need to bring cash for beer, food and petrol! Iam looking for face value which is about £310.

     

    There are 3 of us (one pulled out) taking my Z and a pug 206. We are all late 20's and enoy a beer and a laugh.

     

    PLEASE use the below contact details to get in touch, I don't usually check the site during the day.

  8. Hi there,

     

    I keep flirting with the idea of changing my Bose but it seems to be working fine in the warmer weather! I must admit I’m dying to get my Ipod connected…

     

    Here are some the links I've read... Sorry I can't offer any first hand experience but I'm sure someone will chip in.

  9. I think the reviews tend to differ based on location. If you live in a more rural location they are generally quite good but not so hot if you live in or a near a large city. As you live near Manchester I guess you fit into the latter so it's all good :)

     

    I'm about 10 miles from the city of London and not had much luck with these types of products.. Or using my top 4 gears :lol:

  10. Hi Sean,

     

    I used to live in Chelmsford and back in the day I was always getting bits and pieces done to my 106 GTI. I had the lion removed from the bonnet, filled and blended etc. I used 'Chelmsford Accident Repairs' and they always done a great job. I forget his name (it was 6 years back) but always helpful and happy to quote.

     

    He used to have a long waiting list - but that can only be a good thing I guess!

     

    Let me know how you go. My front end could do with a touch up…

    Matt.

  11. very true but the head unit is nice and close in the Zed. I'll post an update once I fit mine to see if the steering controls work.

     

    I had a 205 GTI years ago and it was real hazard playing with the radio with my short little arms! :lol:
