  1. lol, im glad you reacted in that way sorry to put a downer on it. i suppose one thing to note is mine was a roadster which will obviously be a drawback on the handling point. it may be worth you still going and testing it your self as you may love it. if you are serious about buying one feel free to pm me and i'll tell you the tell tale signs of the listed faults that i experienced. another thing aswell the running costs weren't much different. pretty much same mpg, same tax and same insurance and less reliable so maybe more on mot and servicing. i should stop now i sold like a proper doom monger
  2. before my zed i had a 2002 1.8t 225bhp quattro audi tt roadster. i loved it at first because it was my first "fast" car. previously only had a 1.4 civic i had it for 9 months and by the end of it couldnt wait to get rid of it and would never buy another audi again. There are plenty of people who would disagree with me im sure but the following things really bugged me. 1. interior qualiity was terrible the leather aged very badly/ all the plastics scratched too easily. 2. about 50% of them have the dreaded "dashpod" failure. mine had it and it drove me mad. the fuel guage didnt work properly. the dials flickered randomly and the display had a mind of it own and wouldnt let you change from milometer(spell?) to fuel consumption etc. 3. about 50% of them again have niggly electrical problems such as the windows dont drop when you open the door. the interior light doesnt come on when you open the door. heated seats either burn your bum or dont work at all. mine had all these issues. last but definately not least probably the worse thing was the handling. although you would think quattro 4wd would make it handle on rails it was pants it handled pretty much like a front wheel drive car just understeering everywhere. only advantage i suppose was that it was relatively surefooted in the wet. this can be remedied but it takes suspension mods and haldex controller (sends more power to rear wheels). as said before other people may tell another story but my experience was terrible and i know there are bad things in all cars but if i had a bad one i was very very unlucky to have all of the above problems. The tt forum was full of these issues aswell so i wasnt on my own. hope this helps and sorry to be negative kev
  3. oh cool, still nobody selling them though? would love a set but im not very technical at all
  4. i think i have asked this question before but why has no one ever made these led reflectors for the post 06 cars? i know the reflector is a different shape but is there something else that would prevent anyone from doing it?
  5. looks like there are 2 other people willing to buy it at full price so i will have to stretch to the £7 have sent a new pm ... sorry!
  6. would you accept £6.12 including P+P its all i have in my paypal account. if so i will take it. i have sent you pm
  7. how about your red bolts all over the engine bay are they for sale ... pretty please
  8. i know mate but when it comes to renewal time it will be mega bucks. i will keep it in mind though and have a look at tyre pricing.
  9. I would mate they are lovely wheels but cant justify the tyre cost for 20"'s
  10. what docs will we need to test drive them?
  11. love the car mate very nice and subtle. please tell me what wheels they are and what size they are and if its not too cheeky how much they cost(feel free to tell me to mind my own business )
  12. very interested in hfc's but want to know what sort of cost we are talking?
  13. Hi guys and girls, ive been doing abit of research using the SEARCH button. I have read various threads with people slating the pop charger because it loses power but i cant find actual figures. how much power are we talking? i have heard 3-4 bhp but i cant find the post now. has anyone actually got proof of this loss of power and can you tell me how much? if it is 3-4bhp then i'll do it cos i doubt ill even notice. thanks in advance kev
  14. what are these wheels? they are gorgeous, are they expensive?
  15. thanks for all the replies guys, i am still definately looking. no offence to the guys selling all the above wheels. wheels are a very personal choice so far im only really interested in the dotz. sorry if that sounds harsh as i say its only my opinion they are just not my type.... its not you its me
  16. love the hanzo's what tyres are on them and what tread is left. do you know how much you want for them?
  17. Hi guys and girls, decided that im going to put 19's on the zed but cant afford new at the min. if anybody is getting rid of some in good condition then please let me know. thanks k
  18. wow thanks for all the pics. they all look great. loads better than i thought. i was under the impression that it was a must with 19's to lower it.
  19. im sending you a pm now as that price is sh*t hot!!
  20. yep good point. thinking about it probably 1.5m lengths would be fine.
  21. arent they 20's husky? is that really on standard suspension? p.s love those wheels there gorgeous
  22. has the gt4 got the same suspension as that looks ace!
  23. sorry not sure what gauge is? can do it in any lengths really as im going to be cutting it up anyway i believe as standard they come in 6metre lengths. if gauge means thickness of wall then the thinner the better as it will be cheaper. if gauge means diameter i'm after an 1inch or as close too.
  24. was hoping that would get your attention im sure im going to get slated for this thread but each to there own i say. to start with i really dont want to lower my car with that in mind can anyone help with the following problem. My previous car was an audi tt with 19" wheels, full bodykit and coilovers. It drove me insane, it was quite a fast car but i couldnt drive it fast anywhere because of pot holes (damaging the wheels) speed bumps etc (damaging the body kit). I love the 350z cos it looks the business but i can still drive it like i stole it because its not too low etc. my question is has anyone fitted 19" wheels but left the car standard (i.e not lowered or bodykits). if so do you have any pics and does it look ok?
