Some have VDC and/or the viscous diff and some don't too.

That would work unless like myself you live in the middle of nowhere

"Yeah heres two tyres, back in 45 mins with the other two"

You can fit 4 18" tyres in a Z, even with the spare wheel in situe.

Two in the boot, one on the passenger footwell vertical at a slight angle and one on the passenger seat.

If you remove the spare, you should be able to get 3 in the boot but not tried this.

That price sounds a little bit higher than normal, does it include balancing? I'm guessing there will be a premium for mobile fitting depends if you definitely want it doing mobile.

There are run flat versions of the RE050a

Oh. Nothing bad I hope Husky?

 

VUS or Falkens then.

 

Do have a bit of a dilema though as my Bridgestones fronts still have 5mm on them!

 

M.

Are they RE040a's or RE050a's?

Id rather run a full set of near illegal RE040a's than a full set of Falkens

Average headlights combined with low driving position meant that night driving was difficult for me (I was blinded by the majority of on oncoming traffic).

Are you quite short, no offence intended, but i've never had this problem and wouldn't consider the Z driving position that low (the leather seats are actually quite high? )

I must be the only one who prefers RE040a's over stuff like Toyos and Falken 452's etc.

I've never driven on RE050a's but the RE040's had a nice stiff sidewall, were very progressive to let go when they were about to lose grip if you pushed them too hard so it was easily judgeable to correct if you know how to drive. As others have said, get some heat in to them and they far supass any of the toyo and falken tyres in terms of performance.

I only hope the 50's have the same sidewalls as the 40's as they will be what Im going to next when I get rid of these jelly sidewalled Falkens.

I had a FR+ 55 reg, one of the last PD150's with the factory fit Cupra R bodykit and 17" version of the Cupra R wheels. It was quick for a diesel and had the looks of the Cupra R.

Would have one again if I was doing motorway miles in a shot, nice car.

You won't get a FR+ for 4-5k though so depends if you want the facelift Cupra R bodykit or not.

Its popular in america, not so much over here I dont think

I've used a whiteline front ARB and a panhard rod on a previous car, and they are well made bits of kit. You pay purely for the product not for the name like other brands.

Much appreciated

Do you have any pictures of your car side on Ruddles or from the the gap between arch and wheel at the rear?, reason I ask is that I had BC Coilovers on a previous car and the rears wouldnt drop as much as the front due to the perch design.

I like the hatches more than the 00's style saloons when modded properly.

Like so..

That shot of the biker drifting the corner with one hand down - awesome.

 

Have a look at some of his stunts

 

Guy definitely has skills (and balls!)

Nice pics, the gap between the bumper and your boot seems to be higher on the left than the right though

Ive had a few performance FWD cars, a Clio 182 Trophy being the last before the Z.. It would out handle the Z on a track hands down.. but depends what you want in a car really.

Well, if a car with "reasonable spring rates and coilovers" rode any rougher than mine, I'd run a mile from it. Better check it out and remove any potential offending items.

Well it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as your making out. On even the roughest roads round here it is still really smooth compared to most performance orientated cars.

What tyres are you running?

The Z rides like it has no suspension? Are you driving the same car as me hah?

The ride is quite soft and rolls quite a bit for a sports car, guess you've never driven a car with reasonable spring rates on coilovers before

One of the only issues I have with the stock Z is the fairly soft suspension

Coming along well!

Nismo with Nismo Y Pipes sounds the best from all i've heard exhaust wise. Don't like the K1 either, spoils the car to be honest, sounds like those dual exhaust systems people put on saxo's!

Not a fan of the new ones, much prefer the IX. Nice choice non the less

tried my snow socks out on sheet ice last week,and they were excellent, yet to try them in the latest snowfall.

 

How easy did you find them to fit?

Thats nothing!

Apart from hot water to get them free, i've not found anything to prevent the mirrors freezing, as Darren said just leave them out.. can cause damage trying to unfold them if they are frosted
