  1. Birthday. Bank holiday weekend. Got to be a good day ahead
  2. ....or you could just get a 2015 Honda Civic Type R at nearly $300,000rm which equates to about £60k! https://m.carlist.my/recon-cars/2015-latest-honda-civic-2-0-type-r-4-door-unreg-ready-stock/3147318/
  3. http://www.nissan.com.my/vehicles/almera-nismo I was looking at cars for sale in Malaysia and saw this. For those saying the new Type R is fully, prepare to feel your eyeballs burn
  4. It's only about a fiver for the syringe and tubing delivered to my door. Probably take me 5-10 mins to sort. Not worth the time and petrol going back to the garage. Plus they're a good garage I've been going to for 10 years and it's just a few mm over the max mark.
  5. Cheers ......so that's 2 cars I have with crappy dipsticks then
  6. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B015MLB9BU/ref=ya_st_dp_summary Ordered the above syringe and tubing to remove overfilled engine oil. Is there anything I could mess up or is it as simple as I think, tube down dipstick hole then suck away The wife's Mini came back from a service and oil level is about 3mm above the max line.
  7. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/116115-twingo-gt-turbo-for-sale/#entry1726028 How about this for a run around. GT Turbo in a name always sounds good. With a turbo already in place should keep mods easier. Known history. Hopefully won't become too much of a project car leaving more time to enjoy the TT zeds
  8. It's same on mine and most other zeds with the self closing doors. It's the self closing tailgate that you've got to watch out for when the gas struts start failing! When my original struts failed about 9 years ago it nearly chopped my head off. On cold days it is starting to drop again. I still haven't got round to removing the boot weight. The added weight of the Nismo spoiler doesn't help either.
  9. Dropped our Mini off at 8am and saw your zed with shiny red brembos. I'm back there with my Zed for a service next week.
  10. How's about this for one in a million. I know a guy who's old Ford Galaxy got nicked. Worthless money wise as it was nearly 20yrs old but raised his kids in it and very attached to it. His friend spotted it parked up months later and they got it back!
  11. Nice to have you aboard
  12. I remember when i first discovered a clay bar, by the time i washed, rinsed, used the clay bar, washed the lube off and rinsed again......I ran out of daylight and couldn't polish/wax. Had to wash and rinse again the next day before preparation for waxing etc
  13. If you don't have the time to use a clay bar then glaze and wax......A clay mitt will save you 30-60 mins compared to traditional clay. You can use thick shampoo as lube for peanuts too.
  14. I got myself a MaxiScan 309 code reader on the recommendation of Jay at a Cheshire Castle meet. Today I was cleaning the car mats and must've jogged the underseat connector. Hey presto. Flashing airbag light. Perfect opportunity to try out my code reader. But no codes were detected Is that because the management light didn't come on or is my reader faulty? Anyway.....Good old trusty ignition on off dance and all is well again. I actually keep this YouTube video on a playlist along with other useful zed videos
  15. A warm welcome from a fellow NW member. Loving the concave look of your rear rims.
  16. I must admit that guys modified OEM exhaust sounds really nice
  17. Really liking the Azures. It's plain to see why they're so popular
  18. Got the week off work so treated the zed to another wash. Half coated in C2v3, passenger side in Sonax BSD. Some Optiseal on the rims and Autoglym tyre dressing.
  19. Welcome aboard. If you're ever commuting on the A34 Kingsway look out for me in my sunset orange zed.
  20. Firstly try out whatever polishing/abrasive products you already have using a foam or microfiber pad. You can even use toothpaste Mask around to protect the paint. Polish away. Then you can protect the surface from UV with a dedicated coating like Gtechniq C4 etc, or wax until you get some more resilient coating. If you have a polishing machine it will be much faster.
  21. Coldel, the red looks so lush I'd be tempted to put a sign in the window for a laugh...."CAUTION WET PAINT!"
  22. Can't beat the molten glow of sunset orange in the sun
  23. Weather was glorious this weekend. I don't think I have seen so many clean cars on the road until today. Looks like the Autoglym has worked it's magic on your 370z. My friend lives aqua wax so much he bought FIVE LITRES! I can't see him running out any time soon Still waiting for an offer of a free sample from his 5 litre bottle though :b
  24. Looking very tasty sir. I bet there aren't many "17" registered cars with paint looking as good as yours. With a private plate on, a non petrol head may well mistake it for a NEW car!
