HEADPHONES

I remember way back loads of people on DW were buying up Demon Shine from the supermarkets as if it were BLACK MONDAY! I even got carried away and bought 2 x 5 litres from Halfords during a 3 for 2 offer. Still got over 9 & 1/2 litres left

During my hot headed twenties I had a similar case. Car stationery. Guy caves in front arch on my Prelude but then tries to do a runner. Friend blocks him off. We drive him to his house to verify where he lives. I took his licence off him. Took his Saxo VTS as a courtesy car. Then he paid the the quote Honda gave which ended up about £800 and he was expecting a couple hundred. Gave him his car back and parted ways. Unless I was sure I knew where he lived there would be no way I I'd trust him to pay.

Mighty fine looking chariot there Olldykins Sets off the original OEM18's a treat. Always had a soft spot for the standard 18s. Got an immaculate spare set in my garage. Been there for 9 yrs and I haven't had the heart to sell them. Have a great day tomorrow with your newly wrapped zed.

I've always had a liking for Subarus. Actually think they look nicer than Evos Anyway. ....welcome aboard and hope you love the zed as much as your Subaru.

Good to see another NW owner. Welcome to the OC

After 11 years I still gaze affectionately as I approach or leave my zed. Even on a mundane commute there's a reassuring comfort from snuggling into those oh so familiar seats, turning the key and celebrating that the air bag or engine lights switch off as they should Cacooned in a world of Zedness with just your tunes, the rumble from the exhaust and the gearknob tickling your palm as it vibrates characteristically to the touch. Not luxurious perfection but unmistakably A ZED

Rears are definitely wider. Lips are slightly deeper on the rears. I don't know the exact figures but when I took mine off to detail them the rears ARE wider.

Oh yeh.....and when the phone rings you get the call coming through to the speakers as a bonus!

Tiny and discreet. Once paired to the phon the only inconvenience is pressing the button for 3 seconds to switch it on (has auto off ). Once button is pressed it pairs with my S3 automatically in less than a second. One charge lasts me a week of commuting. I even managed to buy mine for a tenner from Sainsbury during a sale!

good YouTube guide here on "rubber penny" trick. even shows you a link to buying the washers!

Nice one

I saw a programme where a car stealing crime boss bragged about how easy it was to defeat a tracker. Guy has a signal jammer the size of a cigarette box that jams the signal so he can take cars to containers off the radar! Disklock gives a little extra security.

That's actually THE BEST place to get a screw if you had to get a puncture:lol: Well away from the sides and dead centre. I suppose it's only a lost cause if the tyre had gone completely flat and the alloy's rim had damaged the sidewalls. Hopefully a nice cheap fix

Ceramic pro looks like what you're after. Seen a couple of their studios in Malaysia. Should be some in uk too.

Mods beginning to show their age you say? Still looking damn fine in those pics. Maybe the only thing showing their age is my eyes then! I'd better get down to specsavers.

Hi and welcome. Nice to see another Manchester member. If you are ever on kingsway A34 during a commute look out for me in a Sunset Orange coupe

You can also try searching for a place with a megamount smart machine. See my experience of such a place here. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104715-rim-friendly-manchester-tyre-services/page__fromsearch__1

If funds are tight an exhaust place can repair and weld the join for about £50

This is a standard exhaust.

It's amazing how incidents like this can leave us boiling even days after the event. A similar events happened to me over 10 years ago. We both pulled over into a blockbuster car park. We both got out and the other driver stood in front of me, arms back, chin up egging me to try to land one on him. Unfortunately or probably fortunately my boss had given me strict warnings that any unsavoury behavior even outside work that may get reported would end in my career finished. So I backed down despite being almost handed a guaranteed KO on a plate. And I FELT LIKE A RIGHT KN@B. So I now just take a deep breath and say WOOOSAAAA

I had similar transparent protectors on our other car. I just took them off as every time I detailed the car they stuck out like plasters ruining the smooth lines. 5 years later and no regrets.

Early on in my motoring history I had an "E" reg Nissan Sunny 1.3L Gear box was shot. Went into an independent garage for a 2nd hand unit to be fitted. Garage phoned to say work was done, come and collect as the mechanic was just taking it for a test drive. When I arrived back end was caved in as a bus had run into the back of it on the test run. Garage said it was a write off as the car was only worth £800 at the time. But they could see it was detailed to death and my pride and joy so put a replacement back hatch and bumper on doing their best to get it back to original. Not sure if £12k was a reasonable pay out but in this case the garage should definitely be trying to go the extra mile to see him back with a Boxter of similar condition and worth even if the insurance company doesn't.

Good to hear the saga is over and you're happy with the repair. Point noted not to bother with such companies in the event of an accident.
