Is that an NSX? Looks fantastic.

Not OEM, but the price is pretty good if it's your sort of thing. On those pictures, the numbers look very badly cut out. Not sure if it's just the picture, but doesn't look very high quality to me.

They're not exactly going to break the bank if you find you don't like them after a while O.o I somehow managed to hit 500 posts.

I've had some of these burger zed badges on mine for about a year and a half now and am very keen on swapping them over for something better looking - firstly they don't look as good as I thought they would once on the car and secondly, they weather very poorly - mine's turned all green, etc. Definitely gonna get rid and stick on some nicer badges in the next few months.

Just a point of note: while the paintjob on my rear bumper was of good quality, it did take about 8 months to source the bumper, a number of rusty bolts were used, the rear lights were not attached properly (which I managed to fix with only some pliers at home as I didn't have any of the necessary tools) & a load of garbage was left between the bumper and the car (e.g. old bumper had parking sensors which I wanted removing along with all the wiring, etc - when I went and looked under the car afterwards when I heard a load of rattle, all the bits were dangling just above the exhaust. Not to mention the huge amount of sticky patches over the rear hatch which was clearly held up by cellartape during the repair process and not cleaned after. [/rant]

That's Rik's garage 110% - I remember exactly what it looks like. Must be one of his cars. Edit: actually clicked on some of the other shots and it is definitely Rik selling the car as I've been there before. Nowhere does it mention that the Veilside is an original kit and Rik's garage is fairly well-known for making replicas of very questionable quality.

To be frank if you are after beating your 17yr old friends in a maccy d's car park drag race, there are better options than the zed, especially when you consider the potential to buy cheap & easy-to-tune light cars. I have a boyracermeter way of evaluating a car's ownership profile which includes going to said car's owners' club forum, taking the top 50 threads and tallying up the number of "0-60", "quarter-mile", "how far do your wheels stick out", "how to chop your springs & roll your arches", "best sticky tape for holding your rear bumper in place" & "guide on how to drill holes & hang your massive exhaust on a piece of string" threads as a proportion. You'll find that stuff like VXRs and suchlike have a boyracermeter score of around 80% compared to somewhere around 2-4% for something like an Aston Martin/Classic Car club. Says it all really.

I can't imagine the size of the queues in Nissan dealerships if the 370z looked like that.

Reminds me of quite a few similar trips - from transporting a set of Rays inside to a set of furniture including table tops to huge christmas trees. I'd never want to own a car which I could never use for anything remotely practical.

I'd love to see if anybody responds to a scam on a scam

They wrote that sometime after trying to steal it and driving off to get a maccy d's.

I've always had a bizzare wish to one day go down to South Africa along the west coast and back along the east in something hugely impractical and not built for the purposes just because it would be entertaining. People would ask why the hell I'm doing it and I would just say because I have nothing better to do. Would certainly need an adjustable suspension though. I think I might be on my own in that school of thinking.

You have done one of three things: 1. You reset the trip calc recently and it is adjusting. 2. You have gone around 7,000 miles since the last reset at which point the calculator begins losing out on a digit in its calculations and presumes that you have spent XXXXX amount of petrol to go 25 kilometres (10,025 in reality). This happened to me, so I reset it and waited a few months and it did it again 3. Your car leaves a trail of petrol everywhere it goes through a crack in the tank.

Hmm. Is this Boughton or Broughton?

They forgot to mention the inbuilt coffee machine and the secret compartment with a hot chick?

I think your reply should be: Hi there, Thank you very much for your interest. Your proposal sounds great and I would love to do business with you. Unfortunately, I have had to urgently move to Spain as one of my relatives has died and I am going to be over here for a couple of months. I am prepared to give you a discount and let the car go for just £5,000 including shipping. You will only have to pay when you receive the car to make sure you are happy with your purchase. The delivery costs are £1,245 and I will include these within the total price of £5,000 as I said above. However, the courier wants this delivery price upfront, so I propose that you give me your address and/or bank account details and the courier company will take the payment directly from you and once the car arrives, you will only have to pay £3,755 to me via Paypal as you proposed. I appreciate that this is a little bit more complicated, hence why I gave you a massive discount. Best Regards, ug45cwb Thank you very much. I'm in town all week.

The zeds don't have front fogs because the Xenons/Bi-Xenons are deemed to be adequate and in extreme conditions, full beam is pretty strong. I guess the ads just refer to the rear fog.

Car went to the garage for the day, they looked at everything - joints, brakes, yada yada & can't find anything. This is so unbelievably frustrating as we need the car sorted by the weekend after next for a long trip Might have to resort to taking it to the local Audi for a day and let them poke around it.

I do both a fair bit and I would highly recommend not to base your decision in any way whatsoever on the number of calories you're gonna burn. Pick whichever you personally prefer and want to do and if you're still not knackered come the end of the day, there are plenty of gyms available.

Your problem may have something to do with living in a cold, wet and generally miserable country weather-wise. Just sayin'

If you dig around that site, you can find out how many were registered. Also, I am pretty sure that the dvla model numbers split is between coupe and convertible rather than model year. Hence the stats are: 6,395 x coupe 1,657 x roadster 175 x GT4 --------- 8,227 Total No idea where the last GT4 went, but it was apparently not registered. Only 7,444 of these are registered* as of this year and this number is likely to fall considerably over the next 2-3 years with the age & mileage of these cars creeping up towards the 10 year/ 100,000 mark where most cars on avergae go back to see their maker. * this does not include those cars which are classed as SORN.

car's gonna go for another full inspection on Tuesday and hopefully they'll find what the issue is. Got an Audi garage very close by, so hopefully can get whatever bits need replacing fairly promptly too. Thanks much guys!

+1 I've been having a similar problem in the Zed, and was told it was probably balancing or if not alignment or geometry. I sure hope it's not a wheel bearing Spoke to two tyre places and a couple of people came in the car. All said that the alignment is unlikely to have this kind of an issue without the car pulling or any other effects. :s

old.

This would work particularly well with the Veilside V3 bodykit and some industrial mudflaps.
