  1. I never thought I'd sell the zed either but there is always something else out there to tempt you............. I think it was fate that made me buy her, wasn't even after something like that!!! I think what will happen is forged internals to 4.15L and TT FI setup and some other bits to keep her not from braking else where and then I'll keep her until they get collectors items (I still have a second car that I can 'trade' up)... Guess it'll be a S4 estate as some stage. Something like this would be cute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9mdtyQ1x8U Anyway the best way of staying away from temptation is to not taste the fruit! (also drive motorcycles so for ultimate speed / track experience that hunger is well looked after)
  2. I'm afraid I tend to agree. If you are having to get loans etc to cover paying off the car then any issues that may arise and are not accounted for may lead to you resenting it. But if you really really love it then go for it! Whats wrong with having a loan to pay for a car? Im not offended or arguing here, im interested... Ideal world obviously, you'd pay for it outright, but in the real world unless you're very lucky that's not possible. Who has £15k lying about to buy a car outright that isnt: a) still at home with their parents older, therefore had chance to save/make money on property etc c) a spoiled brat d) Have a ridiculously good job (i.e contracting or self employed etc). Im in my mid 20's, only been working for 3 years having come out of Uni so had no chance to save, but earn enough to have a nice car in my life... finance makes the world go round! I bought mine outright a few months ago, and I am none of those! I should add that there's nothing wrong with getting a loan for a car! 700 extra over the term isn't bad either. neither am I but some people might be, suppose he had to stop somewhere couldn't really harp on until Z now could he!
  3. good stuff you changed your mind! Hope your personal stuff will help sort out the loan quicker hey Remember to budget for some other costs, like running costs / repairs... no point in having the car and not be able to run her! All the beast! I'm missing my car something else and it's only been a 1 week and 1/2 since I drove it! Cant actually see me sell her EVER!
  4. hmm just ask them what the story is: Is there any outstanding finance on the car, and work it from there... if you feel its a bit shady walk away, plenty more fish in the sea
  5. Hey there andlid, Thought i'd let you know that i managed to get the exedy clutch and the Fidanza flywheel from CS at a great price So when you start looking be sure to give him a shout!! thx for the update mate, let me know how it's fitting and driving experience please
  6. not again its ok that it has though, ask yer man... knock another few quid off while you're at it
  7. sure the heavy cost wont be the price anyway... its when you start lashing out the other €€€ on changing it that's going to cost you BUY not, might be gone tomorrow!
  8. maybe harsh but made me giggle made me LOL
  9. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
  10. guys, wouldn't think its good to run low on the tank... could that not pull some old dirt up?
  11. your is tasty, would like that fron lip and wheels on my car
  12. you boys are harsh - i've already asked them if they'll take 13.5k and they said yes, can't really go back and ask for further reduction...i fear they won't sell it to me at all out of spite! them a dealer? Just ask mate it wont hurt anyone... no it's a private sale mate then I wouldn't haggle it down anymore.

  14. go get it done elsewhere for baseline the start the modding!!!!!
  15. was trying to find something on their site too
  16. Where are you planning on going in EIRE? (route)
  17. that would mean your over 40 up a teeny bit 41 ? yeah they say zeeeeeeee
  18. Wow! you're good! you can actually hear it has a lightweight flywheel Seriously though, it may well have but that is not all it takes to have a free revving motor, the cams will help but the stand alone engine management has the biggest influence on how it will behave, and it also has the std RPM limit raised. Hearing your remap holds the RPMs on closed throttle is not good, can't think of one reason why, are you sure you haven't got a problem with your throttle calibration? +1 on the end part of that, sounds like it's a TSI Golf behaviour!
  19. what about how they say Z.... C?! wtf!
