  1. well its not 100% solved bit of a clumsy solution and not quite what was originally set out to be accomplished. Biscuit looked at the folding fob quite closely and we talked about it, what he says is accurate, its not going to be ecanomical to manufacture one, the only way would be fitting the existing one into a aftermarket flip case which is difficult. I might make a folding one for my own use but i doubt i'll ever get the time to put it down as a project so I guess i'll never get the chance
  2. Can you sort delivery for these if someone needs it my purple coloured friend
  3. i was about to say shocks but you ruled that out
  4. Say you turn into a left hander, your car leans to the right, the right spring compresses while the left spring extends. The purpose of the ARB is to transfer some of the compression on the right spring to the left. In this moment the bar twists due to the way it is attached to the chassis and the suspension. The stiffer the ARB the more solidly the left and right sides are joined. With 100% stiffness the suspension would compress all together (if you hit a lump on the left wheel the right would compress the same amount). The drop links connect the ARB to the suspension while some rubber mounts connect it to the chassis. The drop links have ball and socket joints on them to allow freedom of movement when the suspension moves. These joints eventually seize due to poor design and get "sticky", the click is them unsticking and moving. Greasing them just frees them up for a short period before whatever lubricant that was used dries up. The newer variants of the drop link have a much bigger seal round the ball and socket to keep the original lubricant in place, also the joint itself is twice as big to take more punishment. Make sure you get the latest ones from nissan not just some old used ones or you will be in the same situation when they wear in the same way. Google Anti roll bars or "sway bars" if you want to understand it better than my brief and probably confusing explanation So unless the drop link has come off completely there shouldn't be any real performance difference and its probably in your head. Or you drove through the puddle of excess lubricant before you left the driveway
  5. Buy the diesel alfa, you know you want to. I'm sure your just dragging this out as payback at me and yes, i am of course just winding you up, but its damn good fun!
  6. sorry, i refuse to read that, it lokoa like you're buying a car with your head not heart
  7. +1 mine works perfectly. got a modular one where you only put as many wires in as you need so its nice and neat
  8. I hope so, there seems to be a demand for them so would be a good call if they did
  9. nope, I have talked with the CEO of five axis and they only make them in fwd and 4wd fitments and don't intend to make RWD variants
  10. Probably for the best really not my taste but i know some people that would kill for them in zed sizes. Sadly there is absolutely no way of getting them put into manufacture.
  11. you cannot get these formt he manufacturer in the sizes needed for the zed. they are designed as fwd or 4wd variants only
  12. I do try I like the pink accents in a picture but in the real world its going to look a bit naff
  13. you think my housemate would, A) notice or be pi**ed off if i stickered his car
  14. there's already a donate button on the top bar in yellow it's via paypal
  15. I owned an ST3 before the zed. Good as a shed, just as long as you have something else to drive that doesn't make you feel the need to slouch down and fall asleep at the wheel for being so dull.
  16. yes absolutley, i have two in mine right now
  17. needs pink neons and pink headlights then it would be
