  1. Thanks Will! Could be better if I could adjust it up or down, I had to find a pic with the car in the middle of it to get it to show but not bad lol I just fancied a change
  2. It’s a tough one, speed. Yes I think the motorways could be safe enough jumping up to say 80mph, but I would definitely keep 30mph zones (not so sure on 20’s, except maybe on school hours like those flashing ones?). I think I’ve said this in other threads similar to this in the past but it is down to you, your common sense and (controversial one) your own judgement. If you’re willing to ‘risk it for a biscuit’ and plant that right foot, whether it’s an overtake or you just want to press on a bit you’ll be using that thing you learned from the very beginning of your driving….LOOKING AHEAD. If you’re cranking up the speed however you gotta look even further and be ready to react earlier, as pointed out the Germans on the autobahns seems to get on ok with it (just watch out for those trucks pulling out lol). Again however, everyone’s different, some people find it acceptable to ride another’s bumper on the motorway with a gap of a couple of feet or teen guys who are in a ‘team’ of 3 in their little new red Corsa and are weaving like hell in and out of traffic. Despite ‘only’ being 29 next month I DO notice the difference in younger drivers and it makes me cringe. If your into cars your always gonna be into speed (you own a 350Z for god sake), but there’s a time and a place and it should be a relatively empty, clear and dry ‘space’. I’m not saying I’m the perfect law abiding driver, we’d all be lying if we said we were, but a little common sense and looking ahead can do wonders and you can still use your car in relative safety to get excited over one of the reasons you bought it in the first place… You’ll always have those moments however where you go for it and then realise oh that was a bit silly or not quite as much room as you thought, but just try and be as safe as you can without causing other drivers to panic over you too lol My two cents lol Sorry about the font its copy/pasted, this site for some reason slows the typing down and makes it not very responsive to the keys (mods?)
  3. I feel like updating my banner from time to time but the one I used to use is gone now so does anyway know free banner sites where I can use any pics and adjust them without having the site name on it etc? I see a few on here have them Cheers for any help!
  4. You def want it with the auto anyway, paddles are quite good! Suits the more GT style of the car. Not sure if they maybe did a manual overseas?

    BMW i8

    Saw the Top Gear ep last night with it, I didn't realise the fuel tank was so tiny! Can't mind exactly, I think he said 7 gallons?! No thanks
  6. Had both as coutesy cars and although I think the coupes the better looker they both are fairly rapid GT's. Bit expensive to run (but hey if your lookin at one you know that already lol) but you get a lot of kit and some nifty GTR like paddle shifters. Think of it as a 370 in a suit lol
  7. Someone beat me to it as that's me just seeing this haha. Yeah its ...well like I said....Coupe for me lol Only seen one in the flesh driving past where I live and it looked great
  8. ...I'm not sure on this one but I don't own one so I'll let you guys decide lol I think I prefer the Coupe. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/02/12/nissan-370z-nismo-roadster-concept-chicago-2015/
  9. Oh, I didn't know that, is their any reason for this that anybody knows? Infact... Does anybody know why it does it in the first place ? lol

    Alex you sir....are right lol And I know this so what we can deduct is... I skim read the thread. Shame on me! lol
  11. If you want to set your mind at rest take a high quality video and put it up so we can hear it clearly but if its what we all think it is, its just part of the MANY noises the Z makes lol Foot on the clutch it should go away, but even when its off it shouldn't be 'that' loud. (makes me wonder without this forum or others advice how many poor people have been shafted from garages with big bills for that). As long as the clutch feels ok and no issues engaging gears etc

    Had to watch the guy who did my windscreen take them off....TWICE (as the original screen developed a crack as it was faulty)... made you wince...watching your pride and joy get dismantled lol
  13. Ahhhh "the lady" no thats the lady at the tyre shop not my gf! goodness me.... lol
  14. How did my 'burd' get into this? Did I miss a post??? lol
  15. Just seen the tyre leader site and at £96 a tyre thats pretty damn good actually! How much does your average place charge for fitting usually? Can't be much of a profit ? (unless its me and my over priced falkens lol)
  16. haha, I look away and the thread gets a load of replies She was actually trying to give me decent tyres but I'm comfy with the Falkens and there on the front so...Just checked black circles there the same price as I've been quoted for fitted so meh I'm ok. lol Plus ordering them from elsewhere and then getting someone to fit them can be a pain at times as most won't fit them unless you got them at their shop or odered them at least. I don't go anywhere else for them so I use the easiest place despite a bit more £ being spent lol.
  17. You are ruining my happy Thursday!!! lol! Meh I'm not bothered, its cheaper than usual. Yep, its 453's all round, I quite like them so its them I stick to. All four stay the same, despite the lady trying to get me to buy other tyres lol
  18. Meh, random thread as I'm off work tomorrow and feeling cheery lol. Just called my local place I always get tyres from and ordered my Falken FK453's for the rears (I'm a bit of a pain as its not their main supplier and I always have to order them lol). Apparently, for new orders anyway there are none in the UK and its being ordered form Holland (oooh exotic! lol) BUT... instead of the usual £155 fitted there down to £135, get in, don't mind waiting if I'm getting a little saving Anyway....enjoy your thursday!
  19. None.... Unless its an original GTS Viper...or the new one which looks like it. The 'middle child' was a crapper lol
  20. "hes a bald guy" pml... we love detail so we do..haha
  21. On the way to Cumbernauld and saw it parked in the drive
  22. AMT

    Ford Focus RS AWD

  23. I thought only the imports had the grey middle dash part?
