5. HEADPHONES 

I'm getting a cyclical humming noise that increases in frequency and loudness as my speed increases.

It's not affected by revs or even if I disengage the gears and depress the clutch.

No changes when turning the steering wheel.

No play in the wheels when jacked up....yet.

So gonna ring the garage Monday to book her in but switch to using our other car for now.

Only drove it yesterday and I miss my Zed already 

These calendars really brighten up my day.

I keep mine at work by the PC.

Keeps me smiling throughout the daily grind

Sportzntouring is a long term Z owner who also has an R8.

I can't remember what his name is on here but I'm sure someone else does.

I'd PM him for the full R8 lowdown either here or try messaging him on YouTube

I just saw this posted online 

Pics No.11&17 really capture the vibes of the day perfectly

Another fantastic day today.

Thanks again @davey_83 for choosing great roads, well thought out checkpoints for cars to regroup at as getting seperated is inevitable with large groups and another top pub for grub at the end of the day

Great turnout.

Thanks to everyone who had faith in the weather holding out.

Somehow I can't see driving around on my todd being any fun even with such a superb choice of roads 

Wow......370 miles in your 370z.

You couldn't get a more perfectly matched road trip!

Respect for putting in the time to join us.

My 190 miles is almost half yours.

Hope there wasn't too much traffic when you hit London.

When I saw that mimature white 370z in Portugal during my hols it instantly 

reminded me of your Zed.

That AND it only costing €1 AND it being the last one AND you attending today surely means your attendance today was "MEANT TO BE"

See you tomorrow dude. 👍

Will be my first time seeing your new 370z in the flesh

Zed's now got a full tank of V-Power.

Hopefully squeeze a quick wash in this evening. Might even wash the zed too

Doesn't make sense me driving down to the Midlands pre meet seeing as the start point is less than an hour away from me.

So meet you all at

Peak Village
Chatsworth Rd,
Rowsley, 
Matlock 
DE4 2JE

Maybe fire off a PM to Bob at Tarmacsportz regards to the recommended service items and a ball park figure on labour time/costs involved so you can get an idea of costs at your local garages.

Welcome to the OC 

Don't be shy....... post up a photo of your Zed😎

The forum is back

And so is the gloomy wet weather 

But that means BEADS

Almost felt as if Thanos himself had deleted the forum with a click of his fingers..

Many thanks to our team of Avengers for bringing things back again 

I think "a bit more grit" is underplaying it a bit.

Tougher man than me. I even let the shower run for a few seconds to get UP to temps before getting in😄.

Had to wait till I got home to listen with headphones for a better effect.

Got a nice deep burble

Sorry to hear the paint match was so far out. Possibly wasn't as noticeable on mine due to my paint only needing doing upto the orange stitching which breaks and masks the transition between factory and touch up paint 

It was ONE RACE

A 2G buy in.

Winner takes all

.........and Hector held the money coz he's too slow to run away with the money 

Just been out to clean my rims.

Don't know why.

It was dark and still drizzling so will probably manky after a 2 HR drive down tomorrow 

I know right.

Not just sports cars either.

Imagine if back in '99 you were on a school run and saw dozens of mums dropping off the kids in Mitsubishi Evo 6s.

You'd be like WTF!

How can they possibly go from Ford Mondeo one day to Evo 6 or a WRX STI safely.

I see LOADS of Teslas now on the school run.

But these Teslas are pretty near Evo 6 performance specs.

Maybe there's more hooligans undercover now on the school run

Get well soon. Sounds like you're made of strong stuff and not too poorly thankfully 👍

Here's a few more.

The old penny trick for the rear hatch.

Thanks to @Defacake for the phone holder recommendation (couldn't find any other option for our Mini that suited my missus better.

and 

Thanks @davey_83 for the vinyl wrap tip for clear headlights......under a tenner and the years of battling oxidation has been won.

Had ABS+TCS+ESC light up

Few weeks later

Airbag light comes on.

Yesterday 

Had engine warning light (P1147) come on.

Had I not been a member of the OC this would have given me a heart attack and my wallet a pounding.

Alas after being on here for 15 years these minor issues were like water of a ducks back.

Thanks to @ZMANALEX who enlightened me on the 350z brake light switch remedy for issue 1.

THanks to the OC in general for the multiple YouTube links for airbag reset etc.

The member I met at a meet way back in 2017 for the recommendation of the £10 Maxiscan 309 code reader.....whoever you are, who also had their O2 sensor throw code 1147 occasionally. 

WHAT OTHER BUDGET TRICKS/HACKS HAVE YOU ACQUIRED AS A MEMBER?

If I couldn't find a replacement for the original sub and had to go for an enclosure

THIS would be top of my list
