Chesterfield

Ive recently changed to Toyo T1-R's all round and can thoroughly reccomend them. The difference from the standard Bridgestone is quite incredible.

I believe that is already in discussion. Shire? Beavis?

The 50 deadlifts of 135 pounds is a piece of cake. Its the 2x25 pull ups that are a little difficult, thats 260 pounds. Probably something to do with the pieces of cake.

Hi and welcome Always great to see new members join up, and coming along to the Wales run is probably the best way of enjoying your Z as a new member! Have you been to any other meets or shows before?

Its some meet when you are the poor relation in a Porsche Cayman.

Alex, Thanks for sorting these out for people, its great

You see what you have to do Martin is promise the missus a shopping trip to the Metro Centre, so she cant actually see the ammount of stuff being fitted to the car.... Not that I would know....

I say embarras the planks at court, also ensure that you take a letter from your employer stating that you are having to take half day unpaid to attend. No stopping before 7, and then do you for parking at 8... Hmmm

Im in, would like them before Wales 1. Shire 2. Chesterfield

Hmm perhaps the in car PC is the way forward? Wiring the phone wires to ausb input and having that control the phone via bluetooth. Certainly possible, but it would seem a massively long way round and bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The car has a blutooth device, the radio has bluetooth control, and the steering wheel has buttons to control it. Exactly how hard can it be for an audio manufacturer?

In that case, there should be a way to retain the controls from the steering wheel. Whether there is one or not is another matter.

I would suspect that there will be a way to retain all the functionality of the steering wheel controls with an aftermarket head unit, including the bluetooth phone controls. It will be a case of ensuring you have the right head unit, and a suitable cable adaptor to feed said head unit with all the controls. I am currently researching this myself as a decent aftermarket dvd/tv/nav unit would be nice, but also want to retain the functionality of the steering wheel as you do. My Altea appears on the face of it to have EXACTLY the same software controling a bluetooth interface to my phone as the Z, even down to the voice. So I suspect there will be a manufacturer out there somewhere that has made the necessary harness to acheive this with aftermarket head units.

Just on a side note if you are having issues with a full or overflowing mailbox Phil, let me know and Ill get the limits changed to help.

If you used tabbed browsing, you can always right click on an unread topic and select open in new tab, which will leave your list of unread topics untouched.

Unfortunately that is not possible with the current code. You can use the recent topics to find articles that have been posted since a certain date/time, or you can use the view unread posts to see all items that you have not visited. If you wish to clear all unread topics before you leave, then simply click "Mark All forums read" when on the forum index page. If you wish to mark all topics read within a certain section, then you click "Mark all topics read" from within that section. Though at present, there is no way of excluding specific sections from the results when you search for unread topics. Hope that helps

Yes. If the car was being sold by a company such as yours, it would give me a much increased level of confidence in the vehicle without a doubt. With the experience you have, combined with your reputaion on forums such as this and others, I doubt this would be anything other than positive for your business.

If anyone wants the full size versions emailing to them of the pics I have just let me know which they are (the filename has a 3 digit number) and Ill email them over

Ahh that would be the Alpine concept vehicle built in the US. Based on an R500 only the roof remains unchanged. The doors have the seats integrated into them, car can be driven from either seat, and it has 26 inch rims on the front and 30 inch on the rear. Somehow I dont think Mercedes will be launching it any time soon.

I would have liked to take more, but my fingers were blue as it was!

Snap certainly makes it a lot easier and quicker

I would agree - no chance. I barely fitted the rear valance for a 350 in my Altea, the bumpers on the Z are deceptively large.

Click the thumbnails below If anyone wants their plates removing, let me know

Just managed to work out how to resize a whole load of photos at once - now uploading them all to photobucket.

Doing all this money shifting, you arent the one who has made a fraudulent balance transfer of £6k onto my missus's credit card by any chance are you?! She has a fun day ahead tomorrow after getting her statement today

There are a few of us that are persona non grata on the other site so cant view them anyway. Long story, dont ask. Im sorting mine to post up now...
