    problem after problem

    in 350Z General

    Posted

    I've had similar problems but mine was done by professionals!

     

    first i had a nut round off on my spacers because some idiot at kwick fit over tightened them. (i needed to change the front wheel hub because the bearing was gone)

     

    then after 3 hours of trying my mechanic cut it out but wrecked the spacer.

     

    i then bought another pair of spacers and because they were 25mm instead of 20 i had them put on the back.

    i also had the rear wheel bearing changed.

     

    yesterday i was happy as larry driving my car and then i realised that when the steering is at 11o'clock im going straight,

    so i realised that i need to spend another load of money to get the laser alignment done again. so a trip on monday to CS.

     

    this morning i found a funny looking thing next to the rear wheel of my car.(on my driveway) picked it up, looked like a locking wheel nut but without the thread. looked at the wheel and basically the locking nut was broken. so now i have another problem with removing that from the stud! WTF is going on?

     

    if i get the alignment done and then theres a load of banging going on afterwards to remove the remains of the lock nut then it might be knocked off again! :rant:

     

    this is all made worse because i work away from home all week so im only here on weekends and monday mornings!!

     

    sorry about the rant guys :blush:

    Ok so Iphone is it worth getting now?

    I've bought mine off eBay from Hawaii, before they were out over here.

    And, I learnt a great deal about them, hence why there is a vodafone SIM in mine :teeth:

     

    i've still got the original iphone. got and unlocked it the day it came out!!!

     

    been on orange with it for over 2years now i think.

     

    getting the 3GS in jan when my orange contract come up!!

     

    By far the best phone out there regardless of what you want to use it for.

    Funniest one ever for me the other week - Argos car park. As I walked back to my car some guy was just parking next to me. He got so close he couldn't possibly get out of his car without touching mine - BUT i got here in time before he even tried. I got in my car and just sat there fiddling with my stereo etc knowing full well he could not get out as he'd parked so close. He just had to sit there.........and sit there.............and sit there............. :lol:

     

    I was so glad i got there in time or no doubt he would have just damaged my door! TW4T!

    :lol: Exactly what i would have done.

    I love this thread. I too take photos and will start uploading them and would use the "YOU CANT PARK" stickers.

     

    I kind of want a personal sticker printer in the car which I can print the photo off to show them how rubbish they are!

     

    Out of interest......if you did come back to find a dink or paint scratch from the car next to you......what would you do? Wait for them? Break their wing mirror?

     

    WING MIRROR!!!

    Always had tomtom and even if they cost a bit more you cant go wrong

     

     

    Have you ever tried the others?

    This seems to be the problem I am having you see, everyone who has a tomtom says tomtom, Garmin and Navman likewise. People seem to stick with a brand...

     

     

    i've had pretty much all of them over the last 5 years. tomtom is definately the best satnav for routes and user experience.

     

    id try and get the tomtom go if possible.

     

    i possible save up and go for the system nurrish provides.

     

    check his post in the for sale section.

     

    good luck :thumbs:

    Get it wrapped mate ;) its guarenteed for 3 years plus it will only set you back around £1500. Plus like already said when it comes to selling up again you have the stock colour. The zed looks B) in white as well.

    All im going to do is get the front bumper done every 9 mths as thats the only part that gets some abuse.

     

    how does the vinyl fair up to scratches and stuff?

     

    is cleaning and waxing it hard?
