I'm sure the FXX he tests and drives all the time is quite similar to an F1 car in many ways. Wonder where he stands technically if he has his own F1 car and just so happens to do a track day at Maranello? Excatly...you don't have a dream job at Ferrari without any perks, right?

The obvious answer is that the van is jealous of the Zed and thought to itself "Right, I'm gonna show him!" and proceeded to rev like mad, but unfortunately broke itself doing so. Moral of the story: Jealousy gets you nowhere and leaves you brokenhearted...

Looking at the pics, in particular the wheels, is that what diamond cut polish would look like? Just thinking about it for mine...

Orink...sounds like the colour of a pig.....or orange with a thick chinese accent...

In my opinion, Schmacher is getting bored with his current lifestyle perhaps, and being a true driver at heart, it's only natural that he would love the chance to come back, albeit it being only for a short while.

GLWTS - Good Luck With The Sale in this case with added sarcasm...

When you read the Q&A at the bottom of the eBay listing, he says that he wants £15K minimum....GLWTS I'd say....

One of my favs must be House Of Kolor Brandywine Red, not cheap, but worth it for the effect alone. As it happens, I know there is a bodyshop near me that does House Of Kolor.....will ask tem how much it would be to spray a Zed...

Is there perhaps a Motorsport garage in your area that can help with suspension setup/faults that have also worked on a Zed before? Perhaps they would be better for professional impartial advice? Just an idea.

Welcome and enjoy. For anybody else, for you info about imported Zeds, it's worth reading the issue of Redline that's currently out. Not only has it got bundus Zed in it, but also the latest tips for buying an imported car from Japan. Laws have changed recently and there are some pretty tasty cars to be had imo.

I think it was Lucy (not great at remembering names tbh...)

You were supposed to keep that quiet Nixy....how else were we gonna alienate the neighbours with a bunch of Zeds with noisy exhausts, doing donuts and playing drum & bass to the early hours? Have a nice time away Rich, say "Hello" to Lucy from me (that's Rich's wifes name btw...)

Go for the same colours as before, but for a twist ask them to shoot the lacquer with some metallic flake in it, so it pops more when the sun hits it (I mean sunlight, not the actual sun, cos if the actual sun would hit, we'd all go 'pop' with it)

Looking good there edgeygt50, your other half must be well pleased that her car is looking shinier than the Zed....for now

Maybe it saw the approaching Zed and decided to kiss it's @rse goodbye...

Sorry for off topic, but I dunno if you've seen the film "Ip Man" with Donnie Yen, i thought it was a good film and Donnie does Wing Chun great justice (I'm sure a martial artist can prolly pick out some technical flaws, but one has to remember that this is martial arts for the screen), his hand speed is brilliant in some scenes. Film was released in Asia in 2008, I think the film is getting a release over here later this year.

If you bought the Netgear, then you don't really need your firewall on your PC. The router should have a double firewall anyway. I have no firewall on my PC and have yet to receive any odd bits of software, nor has my bank account been hacked and emptied, lol When I setup my Netgear, I didn't even bother with the CD that came with it, just logged into the default IP 192.168.0.1 and set it up from there.

Have you enabeled UPnP on the router?

Not wanting to sound an arse, but is it possible that your son and the seller both have Civic Type R's, but different shapes? Maybe there was some miscommunication somewhere. My advice is, that once this is done with to never touch eBay again, lol

That lip isn't fragile....IT'S CARBON FIBRE!!!!!!

Love the flower on the helmet tho...

Bought the mag for reading on my night shift just gone. Grats Andy for making the cover, very nice photos and write up. Pleased to see that all the thanks went towards the right people too Irfan, your car is in the Santa Pod bit on page 133, caption reads:" Tidy looking 350Z was one of the many well-tuned cars"

Right...at the risk of sounding a total idiot....what does the abreviation "PCD" mean? Last time I checked there wasn't a Pussycat Doll on or in my car...

ROFL, I first thought this was going to be a thread about a kid swallowing a toy Zed....

Rubbish, there are 2 reasons they are so cheap: 1. They sell millions of these so can buy in bulk where as a tuning garage only gets a few customers a week 2. The designer obviously has a love for cars and is helping out the people who feel the same by not giving it a ridiculous RRP tag. As givememorepower says, he has 4 and is running over 400whp!!!!!! I bet its not too good on fuel but the figures are the proof! My funds can only stretch to one at the minute but I'll get my car dynoed and show you. Only problem is I have added a roof scoop and sideskirts since then so you'll have to take off the 15bhp that they have added off my final result. Well, I actually disagree. I'll have to admit now that I did buy a few of these in the hopes I would reach the magic 1000whp. Plans were good to start with and with the principle of double-up-fo-mo, I went from two to four, from four to eight, from eight to 16 and so forth. All this was done within a day because I bought them in bulk, 100 units for the price of 99, so it was deffo worth it. Sadly by the time I hooked up 64 units in a row, the OEM ECU started adapting and through a freak occurence triggered a transduced ion flow in the nanomatrix of the vulvic labia-meter, which as you expect caused a negative thrust value. I ended up finding myself with 758 negative whp and couldn't drive forwards at all. I had to go everywhere in reverse. Because of that I have become weary of these products, as I accidentally ran over a flock off sheep in reverse (we all know that the view out the rear of a Zed is quite limited) I'd rather stick to the proven turbine BHP boosters you stick in your intake pipes.
