350 Russ

> Was it a sudden purchase only a week or so back or did you long to own one for years? i was after a new car for a while and initially i wanted an alfa romeo brera, i always liked the zed but i thought it would be out of my budget and i wouldnt be able to insure it, i had a look at them on autotrader one day just out of curiosity and i was surprised! they were alot cheaper than i thought and also the insurance was cheaper than the alfa so i was sold! got one a few weeks later! > Could you sleep the night before? Nope, not a wink! > Did you wake up earlier than you would normally? i dont think i slept! i remember being awake at least and hour before my alarm went off! i had to travel about 150 miles to get it! > What did you do in the morning and what were your feelings (anxious, excited, worried, etc)? rediculously anxious > What were your feelings collecting it in person and sitting behind the wheel knowing it's yours for the first time? ecstatic > Did you go out for hours of driving straight away or did you go back home to admire it in peace? i had to drive for about 2 hours to get it home! i was scared s***less by the amount of fuel we went through though! > Did you go straight to a family or friends house and give loved ones a quick blast? went and showed my dad! > Was it your first sports car? If not, which experience was the most memorable? The first one or your zed? yep first proper sports car, i was shocked as to how it pulled through the gears and also the noise! > Do you remember others pointing and giving you the thumbs up or taking pics for the first time? yeah i was sitting in a traffic jam a couple of days later on the way home from work and i noticed at least 5 different cars all staring at it!

was that their long term test 350? i used to drool over that every month! you have a stunner there if it is!

yep blade silver! i kick myself everyday for not seeing the faults and telling him to poke it! i did haggle the @*!# out of him though

my biggest regret is buying a 'bit of a dog', ive spent about £2k getting rid of all the dents and scratches that the previous owner has put on it and now im shitting it before about taking it to get an mot in may! its had an accident there was what looks like quite a bit of body damage which he hid and i missed because i didnt look properly so now im bricking it that theres going to be something serious! there was a crack in the front bumper, broken washer bottle, split side skirt on the bottom and the entire side skirt has been siliconed back on, had a new front drivers wing which didnt have an indicator and was a slight different colour in some light, dented drivers door, badly dented hatch lid, dented rear bumper. the thing which reassures me a bit is that all the slam panels are original and not dented and that the big alloy beams that have the polystyrene bit on them are all still in one piece and not marked! oh well lesson learned i suppose

im a big fan of this bad boy! Cookiemonster you have excelled yourself!

i fitted these to mine viewtopic.php?f=27&t=28275

just sourced a couple of uk bottles for a good price! thanks for the help alex

i used to have a set of pirelli pzero rosso's on my old wheels and i was very impressed with them!

i own a japanese import, make sure you get more than 1 key with it as theres more chance of winning the lottery than getting a spare jdm key! only difference really is smaller fuel tank and slightly stiffer suspension. if the car you buy is a jdm and has a nissan satnav its useless in the uk, but theres a member here called nurrish who will replace it with a really good touchscreen system for a good price! oh and

i cant believe someone has scuffed my roller!!!!!! I WISH!!!!

8,000 in 5 months

pm'd!

oh are they? i thought they was linked? if you look on the photo of the gt4 the driver side headlight washer is fed from the drivers bottle and the passengers from that bottle, and there linked a pipe, i thought i could just cap off the feed in the pipework for the headlight washers and cover over the hole in the bottle where the pump for the headlight washers go with some fibreglass and that would work? i def need the drivers bottle though mine is fooked!

i need the windscreen washer bottle, i thought that the headlight washer was out of the same bottle and that uk ones have one each side unlike jdms that only have one? i would like to have both and all the pipework for the extra volume. i have a jdm so i only have one, the photos of what i mean are in here about half way down viewtopic.php?f=35&t=19516

i need a washer fluid bottle! my one has a crack in it about 1/2 way up, i would like a uk one with the extra bottle and pipework but if you only have a single one it would be appreciated

the mods were prob bringing power down. to get the best results out of the engine mods like an exhaust or a plenum spacer you will need a remap

i dont think so! it never moves and he would have at least cleaned it if he was i would have thought? such a shame! zeds are lovely in red!

have you now

how could i explain that on the bank statement?! would this be ok on brake calipers?

im not a fan off the bonnet!!! but good work on the lights

Wish a blue door its my dream car! HA HA HA do it man! what you got to loose! he might loose the keys to his car i darent stop my current zed around there! can you just imagine what would happen to it

Wish a blue door its my dream car! HA HA HA do it man! what you got to loose! about 2 grand when i find out its got a micra engine and a milk crate for a drivers seat

Wish a blue door its my dream car!

yeah it is a bit of a dump! i really am tempted to go and offer him a couple of grand for it! he obviously catn afford to run and maintain it! i always wanted a red one!!!

i meant a one of these viewtopic.php?f=18&t=181
