    Wide load

    Usually you can go 20mil each way but maybe check on the usa websites.
  2. but if you add all those extras on the zed it doesn;t make it as accurate comparison price wise to the gt86 as that lot would put the zed over the 30k mark. and the porsche they used was half that at 15k. i'd save the 15k over the zed and go 2nd hand cayman S with all the trimmings. you could put 5k in the bank for repair work and still save 10k on the zed. Cayman S's are 15k now? I'd still a boxster personally roofdown driving is great fun.
  3. You must look like this, skip to 45 seconds
  4. +1 it works a treat
  5. thats where my needle usually sits but maybe thats not right? Sometimes its over but not always.

    In what way?
  7. £500 a month
  8. I've got some ratchet ones with the v grove. IMO it works better. I also don't trust the little pins on them axle stands. Always try and use the jack as a final safety point though.
  9. hope you get it sorted.
  10. Very nice
  11. 986/996 don't have many serious problems bar IMS. Parts are way cheaper than Nissan more widely available too. There is a garage down there that charges £35 an hour. Proper Porsche tech aswell I think it's one half of Porsche apart.

    Mitz from CS should be near you
  13. 20-25 litres of coolant too. It's only Japanese cars that take little oil. All the German cars take between 7-9 litres. Does the glass rear window not mean new roof?

    Can you guess?

    @*!#... Too easy... Centre pipe & backbox off Going to be cutting the backbox up tomorow & pull some of that extra JDM wadding stuff out of the top, might free it up a little. It must be my young tender ears Ahh, have you thought about adding a little bypass/cutout? Try a hks rep with decats
  15. 986's are awesome IMO. I think people who are jealous say they are the poor mans porchse etc no one says to me too poor to buy the gt-r was we as the badge doesnt get the same attention. I personally think they will hold their value for a few reasons They are great to drive One of the best convertibles out there Its a Porsche they still have that prestige and dont seem to depreciate Have relatively low running costs, even servicing With the 3.2s you want it to be manual ( not sure if they did the trip) You DONT need tcs IMO. You want a nice colour of leather they made some gash ones IMO and it covers the dash. You want bose and climate control and heated seats. The ones with the clear headlights look better but you could always perform an amberectomy. You want nice alloys too like the turbo styles ones ones. They are great fun to drive and grip like mad. Alot cheaper to run the the 350z too as parts are very cheap. Oil service is easy to do and takes 8-9litres I think. Leaky roof, rear window made from plastic clouding and starting to tear are your main problems. IMS and RMS are problems too but the serious one destroys the engine and the other one weaps oil.
  16. I've personally found it the other way round and virgin is useless. Unless when you say fibre optics all the way you have FTTP? Once all the people on your street start using it, you wont get anywhere near 100meg and ping times will rocket. VDSL with infinity would be my choice personally What do you need it for? If its decent for downloads a cheap bb provider could fit the bill but the more expensive ones usually have lower contention ratios and there dont have over subscribed lines. $ky are terrible for that. How much do you want to spend though I think infinity is about £30 a month. Not sure on virgin
  17. Tried ? If you have and he cant help you there is alot of breakers on ebay. Just look for the tell tale signs of an import.
  18. Seems expensive personally. Id give matt @ i4detailing a shout or just spec the same stuff and you get a discount code too

    Can you guess?

    Mid pipe or back box disconnected? Didnt sound that loud?
  20. alternate machine would be the dodo juice machine from Envy for less than half the amount ie approx £100 of the G220 The kestral das-6 is half again. Be aware its not the machine that makes the difference its the skill and patience of the user

    Get it checked out but just hope its oil that has collected in the spark plug chamber that has trickled down when the plugs where changed.
  22. Where in the country are you? Wasso might be able to help
  23. I think the aerosync ones are ment to be the best. Im not sure if the nismo v1 or v2 are any lower than standard?
