  1. 'Some brake judder', on those pads...really? They look good for at least another 50 yards Well done on sorting it, nice job.
  2. I recently put a set of BST carbon fibre wheels on my motorcycle...you'll really notice all of the benefits above and some! I wouldn't have got the same performance gain if I'd have spent the same money on engine tuning.
  3. I know you wanted Re40's...but I've a pair of Re50's as new if that'll help? Just a thought
  4. Night Blue, '08 with 18k for £16,500 10 months ago...spent a bit since though.
  5. Er...does your Z ever move?
  6. Yep, just around the corner in Copenhagen Walk You staying local?
  7. Black car heading west on the A47 south of Norwich about 07:20, then followed an orange (ish as it was v dirty! ) one on the A11 about 13:00-me in the Night Blue. Quite often see an Azure Blue roadster in Gt Yarmouth...oh and then there's the GM just around the corner from me in Toftwood!
  8. Mmm...I paid 16500 for my mint '08 with 16k nah, nah
  9. Dissimilar metal corrosion...apply a small amount of 'neversieze'/'coppaslip' on the next set you purchase.
  10. For what it's worth I love my Z for exactly what it is, RTB summed it up perfectly. I also love my bike, Honda SP2, not the lightest, fastest, most powerful or newest but it exudes character, just like my Z. Just like my bike if you want to modyfy it then the sky (wallet) is the limit, it's very easy to personalise and create something that suits you. For me, cleaning the Z and keeping on top of the finish is enjoyable and satisfying...driving the beast is even more so! If you can find so much wrong with the Z then ownership of this car is not for you, I for one think I spent my hard earned money wisely.
  11. I need to get rid of mine too, '08 from the cats back and in top condition...thing is I'm in Norfolk.
  12. Awesome colour ...but then I'm biased Welcome to the forum, and enjoy!
  13. Night Blue? Was me! You flash your headlights?
  14. Use it on the road combined with a little bit of 'spirited' driving and you'll be looking at 3 months behind bars, a ban etc. I'd even look into 'intent to pervert...'
  15. Long story short... Many years ago I sold most everything I owned, including my beloved SRi and GSXR, to purchase my first house. My only form of transport was an extremely ratty Volvo 240. Whilst out one day and attempting to get out of it my door was forcilbly closed by 'Mrs Bucket' and her door in the Range Rover next to me. Twice she slammed her door into mine and when she eventually got out she then proceeded to adjust her scarf whilst resting her wicker basket on my bonnet. I politely asked her just what the problem was only to be told to 'be quiet, it's only an old car'... At this point I swung my door open a couple of times and it 'accidentally touched' her door, she was mortified, even more so when I quoted 'be quiet, it's only a new Range Rover'. For those in the know the 240 door has about the same mass as a Smart Car, with occupants. Childish maybe, but to this day I feel no remorse.
  16. I had a set put on yesterday, took the wheels down to ATS loose then rushed back to re-spray the disc hubs black prior to fitting the 20mm black anodised spacers I received from KUDOS. Wheels back on, stand back to admire the 'new' stance the Z has taken on then grab the keys for a quick 150+ miles to scrub 'em in. It was raining in Norfolk but dryer in Suffolk As you said they're a bit slippy for a while whilst the release agent is removed from the tyre, but what a difference, these tyres are so much quieter than the RE50's...now I can hear wind noise when driving! So far I'm quite impressed with them, just going to get the car keys...
  17. Just a quick public thank you to the following, in no particular order cos you're all top people; CS, Chilli Red, Kudos, Gaz Walker- collectively Recently all of you have given me excellent service, good advice (priceless) and very quick turn round on items I've purchased. Many thanks Rob
  18. "Put wheel back on" Pump the brake pedal to restore pressure "Drive off"
  19. £50! Just got mine done for £20, 45 mins, no scratches under fear of death, perfect But yeah, just get a garage to do it sooo much easier upon the ramp.
  20. How about 'Minton'?...when it's been naughty you can shout 'BadMinton!'
  21. I need to pay attention! Thanks for that Andy I've added my name to the list but I'm terrible at waiting!
  22. Hiya, yes should be ordering next week 1. lilsheepshagga_turbo 2. Andymc 3. Kev T 4. Rob63
  23. Thanks for all the info with regards to my original queastion, some really good gen there, I think it has to be the Stillen. Tried calling Envy today to place my order but no joy...It'll wait until Monday, anyone any idea on the approx price?
  24. I know it's late, I'm tired...but I can't find any info on this on the Envy traders section. Other than the Stillen site there seems little to go by, and they would be biased wouldn't they? There is so much on this subject with regards to choice, what's best etc, I think it'll be the Nismo kit, any problems with this choice? Unless somone can convince me otherwise I'll order this!
