  1. . Hurry up and buy a Zed so I can slate that. My auntie had one it was horrible dull soulless horrible slow horrible car. Your a good laugh I know you know its banter As for alloys I use the same brush ChrisS uses and another one and a mitt too. Really you need to seal your alloys to save you having to clean all the nooks and crannys. You can even put the brush onto a drill if you super lazy As for the paint flaking off this is normal for wheels they go through a hell of a lot. Rays are notorious for flaking and they arent really complex at all. Your wheels dont really look that hard to clean? Do you use wheel cleaner? non acidic ideally. Just spray it on leave it agitate then rinse. The brake dust will fall off once you spray it on though. I know the little bits can be difficult as sometimes Il clean the 172's wheels and think ok that should be it hose it off then there is dirt in between a raised bit and a flat bit. Snow foaming wheels can help too
  2. +1 proper colour
  3. better fuel consumption? I thought it would be much worse? I know your increasing efficiency but I thought it would be worse on fuel.
  4. resontated de cats should kill the majority of the rasp. to me rasp says badly designed exhaust. but i'm picky. You still get a lil bit of rasp at about 3k but not as much as HFC's. I personally like a bit of rasp. M3's sound awesome because of it.
  5. Resonated decats and k2 sound awesome.
  6. WOW cheap. I had to get my box modified the one from the USA. The hole was flush so when mounting the sub it would hit off the strut. You wouldn't have that problem with this.
  7. Nice work on the decat clamps

    ABS sensor

    Hi guys as per my thread "lights on dash" I think it might be an ABS sensor. I have already PM'ed Alex and Lee no reply from either so just seeing if anyone else has one? Thanks
  10. People who don't indicate. I indicate even if it's 4am and I know there is no one there. Doesn't take much effort. 40 everywhere drivers. 30mph zone they drive 40. 60zone they drive 40 I hate people who do this thing when they mess up they don't look at you do I can't see you so it didn't happen. Sometimes we all mess up but a hands up and a mouthing of sorry usually keep them sweet. Vauxhall drivers i don't think any of them can drive.
  11. Legend. Thanks mate much appreciated.
  12. No worries
  13. Maybe because it's been done before or hot hatches are faster and slightly cheaper? I don't think it's to much to do with petrol as there is a shortage of hot hatches like Astra Vxr's and 225/250's on the road and they are really thirsty. Maybe rwd has fallen out of favour here? Alot of people are scared of rwd and stick to fwd.
  14. How much is a 370z new though? The 350z was wild for the amount of car for under £30k.
  15. Did you read the second line of my post? Look at my post count and how long I've been here I know the deal.
  16. Hi guys, I have already pmed the zman before anyone says. I need a kit/bolts/fitting/ or whatever you use to fasten the front arch liner. The one that is at the front of the car and the front of the wheel. Joins onto bumper too. If anyone can let me know part numbers or has some please let me know. Much appreciated as usual Thanks again Dblock
  17. If you really are worried then give Abbey a call. They are about 600miles to far to help
  18. Also it only happened when my tyres where changed and my cats where replaced? Easy to damage from there?
  19. Il give it a bash mate. Cheers
  20. Some American TV is brilliant, such as Dog The Bounty Hunter and The Wire S. Out of everything you could have picked Dog the bounty hunter? You could have said the soprano's or something like that. Dog the bounty hunter? I'm not against American tv things like the sopranos and the wire are amazing. I.e Am dad/fam guy/cle show and some adult swim stuff. But with friends it was like a cult. It was socially awkward when I said i didnt like it
  21. I think the brz is the 10 year newer version of the 350z. Yes its lighter and so on but power isnt the main goal with these cars, its the drive the thrill the feel. The 350 is lardy but petrol was cheap back then and it was intended for the US market but was a hit world wide. I agree though N/A is where its at for me personally. Lose the V6 and you lose alot of the characteristics I like about the 350z.
  22. So why would brake cleaner start the car? I agree it would seem to be a fueling, sparking, electrical type issue, but it boggles me that brake cleaner starts the car, why? Its super flammable. There was a spray like this made for diesels when its cold. I never used it as its not good for something in your engine. So if you have an electrical problem - it will start If you have a fueling problem it will still start Okay - so the cleaner is like the defibrillator of the car world. But then after the injection of flammable fluids why doesn't the car not stall after it's go go juice injection? This is real confusing - and a shame the old car doesn't have OBD connectivity! I couldnt tell you. But maybe clean or check the crankshaft sensor? Mercs are notorious for it and all show the same signs you say. Although no one sprays brake cleaner in

  24. Paypal will be fine mate So I have been running 225/40/18 on the front and 245/45/18's on the back. My slip, tcs, abs and handbrake lights where all on. I thought maybe alot of people on here are right about the whole tyre size things. So then I read up and its relationship between the front and back so I changed my rears to 245/40/18 and left the front at 225/40/18. Still the same lights. On a side note the car drives so so so much better on 40's. The ride is nicer not bouncy but firm in a good way. Turn in is sharper. Accelration from standstill seems easier as you dont have the mashoosive side walls. The car looks loads better too. It sits lower to the ground and there is less of an arch gap. Looks awesome Il get pics up soon. So then the kind Sir Stew lent me his 225/45/18 and 245/45/18 wheels and tyres. Guess what same lights on the dash. So its not the tyres. ABS sensor or could it be something else?
  25. My dad car used to have a problem like this turned out it was the crankshaft sensor or something. Changed it and it worked fine. That wasnt a ford though
