  1. Unless you get a bad start no a Type R won't keep up that well, if so..keep the foot 'in it' and you'll soon see it falling behind (off road use but of course..). It is smooth and it piles on the speed deceptively fast, you won't really feel the full benefit as your in the drivers seat holding steering wheels n such... your passengers head on the other hand will hit the headrest no bother ...as I found out with his hair gel (which I got sorted with some autoglym leather cleaner ). Your best bet to feel the actual power/speed it can deliver is when overtaking, it can do it in very short spaces very well indeed (but remember not to be silly! ). This generally leaves the others behind you that are also trying to get by the car you've passed, but can't, very frustrated

    Admiral renewal

    Mines is not up until November again (Admiral) but I'm hoping it goes down a bit, if it does go up I bet its because of the no discrimination against male drivers or something and they've just upped the prices to cover... they always find a way..
  3. Around 3pm, in Wishaw, Silver 350Z, had deep dish lookin' alloys, import (I think, as it had the square rear plate). I was in my mates 'beast' of a silver Peugeot 406

  8. Heres a question on the back of this (sorry for jumping in!) Mines a 58', now the Bi-Xenons... I've heard people having them for years and not replacing a bulb... can anybody say how long their Bi-Xenons have lasted?...Are you still on originals? ta
  9. It'll take 1 and half hours from me so prob just under 2 hrs from glasgow...depending on your speed (dont have a full tank when your on the 1/4 ). And yes there will be neds ...its Scotland... but on the right day theres some decent folk and some series bits of kit... but anyway your not going to mingle with the fannies...your there for the 1/4...or if it takes you the drift bit, but it looks crap lol Bit too wet and damp just now to go up so I'm holding off until a dryer day in March (if there is such a thing)... (if anyones going up before I'm there please get sum pics and especially take note of your times!) lol Its harder than you think, if you check out some of the vids on youtube you'll notice some Porsche 911's and the like still taking nearly 14secs! lol Bet when I go up I get like 25 or something...
  10. LAMBO!!...If not the Aston..lol Remember pictures!
  11. What colour n' kinda Z you drive Stuarty?... I'm always kickin' about there or going through anyway Need to keep an eye out
  12. Is it just me or is driving across Europe seem a pain in the a**....make sure you have a first aid kit, make sure you have high vis's...make sure you carry 2 breath things...watch you don't use one...cos then you need another... spare bulbs ALL ROUND....jesus.....You might aswell attach a service and MOT garage to the ar*e of your car.... so glad I don't live in France lol The UK can be bad but it has its plus points...
  13. Thats the stuff Chris lol... I'll let use all know. Wonder if my mate will let his T-Sport go back on...its getting on a bit If I remember right he was getting 16+'s on the 1/4...
  14. I have a fetish with 2nd gear and slowly letting the revs rise.... So nice....so expensive...but lets go back to ..so nice
  15. Oaafft! Here its started!! :boxing: .. Am only kidding. I personally can't wait to pay my road tax .... lol Plus I wonder how much more it'll have increased after 4 years of ownership...which it will
  16. Won't be through this sunday, more like the end of the month or March, as I said I'll be keeping an eye on the weather for the days its on and also need to see what m8s can come up the same day. I'll post on here when im headin up to see if any others will be too Take some vids or pics if you go up, would be good to see...and hopefully the weather holds dry
  17. Fairly well organised, all the gear to tell you the 1/4, reaction, first few meters or whatever it is, speed you crossed at etc. They've got rules, if your cars a high powered (like series GTR stuff with mods everywhere) you need to wear a helmet (same for roadsters). Apparently they do drifting, track and there 1/4 strip. They have big days where its busy and theres the usual show n' shine, fast ford, vauxhall, jap banzai days etc. They have quiet days aswell (which they seem to show on the site) where you just go up for your times or a fart about on track. I'm only interested in the 1/4 and it wont be full bore starts, i wanna keep my clutch for as long as possible lol. I'd rather let the power come in after ive got out 1st gear (well..mostly ). Can't believe no one on here from Scotlands been lol People take porsches, ferraris n' that up, modded GTRs... although the day you go up it could end up being modded corsas but meh...its for the fun of using the 1/4 and track. http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/ Go to schedule and you'll see the dates. Theres pics also...loads and times... best going on a dry day though lol (Check out the pics of 27-5-12' , that'll give an idea plus theres a Zed in it.. )
  18. Can't wait til' June.... Mmmmm.....almost half a grand....my god someone slap the goverment lol
  19. Just checked the website and for anyone interested Crail raceway (Scotland) has its first event on the 10th Feb. £10 to get in, £15 sees you unlimited runs on the 1/4mile or a fiver for one run. (Your times are given to you at the end I think on a bit of paper printed - as far as I can remember from my mates runs). Just looked up the last session in Oct 12' at the pictures of it. Theres two 350Z's (276's) and you can see the 1/4 mile times....which I'm ...a bit surprised by lol (16-20secs! ) Think the lowest I seen was high 14's! ..Someone wasn't trying lol Anyone on here?? Anyway just thought I'd throw it our there, I'll prob go to one further on near the end of the month or March. Good little day out when its the busier days and you've got a group of friends to bring along (and their cars lol)
  20. Mines is gonna be at least 27K by the end of its first year lol ...Especially since were nearing the end of the crap weather season...
  21. £95 every two weeks is nothing...thats only £190 per month... I wish I was only spending that lol
  22. Don't waste your car sitting in a garage I say... if your doing less than AT LEAST 7000 miles a year ...you're not using it enough!!
  23. Looking forward to seeing the result!
  24. Dammit lol I've not long had mine too was at just under 16K.... now its nearly 22K lol
