  1. Today
  2. Yeah pal it's sweet bit of kit. The 5Ah was enough to do the whole car less the passenger door and front wing. I used the 2Ah to finish off the passenger door and front wing.
  3. Absolutely stunning this As a sunset orange owner this really is making me drool. Out of interest, what was insurance like with all the mods. I know it varies from person to person greatly but compared to other cars you have or have had.....
  4. Not many of these left that are being cherished. Must be fun running through all the gears in it without doing daft speeds like it's modern hyerhatch counterparts.
  5. +1 for Lockwood and Greenwood They been looking after my zed for past 16 years and she runs smooth as day 1. If you book in advance they offer a free courtesy car. Nothing special. Either an 06 Micra, an Aygo or a Nissan Note, but IT'S FREE
  6. Higher bhp figures and faster acceleration doesn't always translate into greater behind the wheel. Zeds and Miatas are a testament to this. May you and your Zed share many more joyous moments 👍
  7. Unfortunately that'll never be the case. Marzman isn't allowed within 100 yards of any school 😂
  8. Proper supercar silhouette and colour The type of car that school kids would have posters of in their bedroom. In years to come you'll be reading posts online of a petrolhead that read "My love of cars started when I was a young teen and I'd see this bloke in the neighborhood driving his blue Lotus Emira......"
  9. NEW TOYS! Did the battery have enough puff to do the whole car in one go?
  10. Congratulations. Enjoy the ownership experience. Can I have a fiver for every time you walk away and then turn back and look at it ?.
  11. Do remember fitting 4 x GT4 rims in mine. Took a while to figure it!!
  12. Cheers mate, heard some people saying they didn't notice a difference after uprev, but I've definitely noticed it! The mrev2 plenum has brought the power into the midrange more, as it's only driven on road I'm not bothered about power dropping at 6000rpm.
  13. I wouldn't of tried to do it anyway 😕
  14. Driving home from work yesterday in the Z i became aware of an RS4 suddenly looming in my rear view mirror. I was driving through a village with a 40 limit at the time which give me time to ponder what to do when the road opens up again: A. Take the moral high ground and do 50 and watch the RS disappear in the distance B. Drop to 3rd and totally floor it I knew that he knew that I knew we would both floor it. Jesus, the Z is seriously fast! It's like instantly away and it's fair to say the RS kept up but not around the bends. A lively drive home that brightened up an otherwise dull commute 🙂
  15. 310 ponies and relatively constant torque curve, not bad IMO
  16. Yesterday
  17. Yeah, took it for a proper run out today. The difference is night and day. Definitely worth doing. The car was also running massively lean, probably with the hfc's that were fitted in January, so I'm glad I had it done. Car feels more free now through the gears and can feel that extra bit of poke now when I put my foot down. 👍
  18. I said goodbye to my '68 Mustang this week after a couple of years of ownership. The experience wasn't for me... I thought it was my dream car but it turns out i don't like old cars Later the same day I took 3 trains to collect my Lotus Emira. Registered in Dec-22, its done 3.5k miles. The 1 owner bought the car with the expectation of being able to sell it for a profit but it didn't work out for him, so he decided to cut his losses, much to my benefit. It's a well specced car, in Seneca blue, V6 manual with the Sports suspension, full black pack, driver pack (track mode, switchable exhaust, LSD, Ice Grey Napa leather, KEF Premium Audio pack, Convenience Pack (parking sensors, camera), Diamond Cut Alloys, Yellow Calipers, Privacy Glass, Premium Mats, Scorpion Tracker, 20" alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's. List price a shade over ÂĢ92k. It was glorious weather the day i got it, although was a monotonous drive home on the motorway. The next day the weather was atrocious, but i couldn't leave it at home so tiptoed to work in it... wading through what felt like extra deep puddles was no fun. Today was marginally better, dry by the afternoon so i got to stretch its legs on the way home from work somewhat. Its terrifying. 😂 There's not much low down torque, so you have to be wringing its neck to get the most out of it, by which time you're doing silly speeds. The exhaust is quiet and reserved until you hit 5k revs, and then it sounds like an F1 car - i love this. As you change between Touring, Sport, and Track mode, the exhaust gets a little louder and the lift-off burbles become more prominent, but thankfully there's no Golf-R obnoxious pops and bangs... The manual gear box when driving at speed is a little breathtaking - when lifting off at 6k revs in 3rd to dip the clutch and change up, it feels like you've slammed on the brakes, before being thrown back in your seat when you engage 4th. I've become too used to seamless auto-boxes in recent years. Pictures do not even remotely do this car justice, for either its colour or more so it's shape. It's so wide and low it really does look like a much more exotic supercar in the flesh. I have CCTV at home and have watched 4 or 5 people walking past the house and stopping to take pictures.🙂 The afternoon i picked it up, literally the first pedestrian i saw gave a chef's kiss as i pulled out of the junction. My favourite thing so far is the steering wheel. Alcantara with a square bottom and it's oh so chunky... it really adds to the occasion. With the notchy little gearbox it feels like i'm in the arcade playing Sega Rally. The only downside so far is that it is an effort to drive... i've been bored of my Range Rover for the last 6 months, but after 2 days of driving this it felt incredible to get back into the Range. ðŸĪŠ Here's a couple of unimaginative pictures from on my driveway... i'll get some better shots soon.
  19. Other end of the country thankfully, should be a good day
  20. Figures look spot on. Green line looks like it was the before remap run and you've gained 21 lb-ft post mapping, which you'll notice way more than the extra bhp you've picked up.
  21. So did something i didn't want to do also didn't think i would do, and fit a bicycle in the 350z, it wouldn't fit in the boot dispite my many attempts, although i didn't want to risk putting it in through the front to the boot due to major risk of scratching the interior ðŸ˜Ē Probably did scratch a bunch of stuff but... it's in kind of. Removed both wheels and the handle bars and seat post.
  22. Not bumpity bump yet,I need to sort a ticket ðŸĪĢ
  23. TORQEN, Fly1 - We've sold many more as we only released our own version fairly recently.
