  1. Went out in the dark last night for the 1st time in the Z and was completely distracted by interior lights. I can turn the general pod lights etc down but not the main beam indicator light (the blue one) + the passenger side lock symbol is there any way of dimming these ?
  2. oi - hands off - that would be cheating BTW...any more pics of your stunning new car no - sorry - too busy have seen the post for the calender though so might try and get something up soon - would be nice to have one of these on there (seeing as so far its only me and Waltong (his is that nasty white colour ) have one ??)
  3. oi - hands off - that would be cheating
  4. if you do a lot of stop / start town/city traffic - get an AT, if not, stay with a manual - clutch is fairly heavy (but I'm getting used to it
  5. I do not need to let my wife see this !!! somehow, I managed to convince her that whilst the TT did more to the gallon, diesel is more expensive than petrol, so fuel running costs will probably work out the same ps I didn't tell her it needs super
  6. Few burnouts and bit of hard braking will sort that out (thats a joke before anyone tries it!) yep - gently, gently been trying to keep the revs fluctuating as much as possible by keeping to the back roads - couldn't avoid it this morning though - steady 40-50mph I know everything is still tight and been doing the usual show off with mates (by that i mean taking everyone for trips out), but have only used half a tank so far and its averaging 23mpg - so at this stage i consider that
  7. hi all done about 200 miles now - have read else where, that it would be a good idea to replace the oil and filter at around this mark to get rid of the "new" engine contaminents. Is this recommended, what have others done ? and if so - what oil and filter should be used cheers Andy
  8. I forgot to mention I'd agreed half a tank of fuel as part of the deal - when i went to pick her up, he said he couldn't remember what he'd agreed on the fuel, so..............he filled it to the top .............. Result
  9. Big voluptuous hips, turns heads, makes you happy after a shot in it. I beg to differ! Oh hang on, I forgot drain on the finances, likes a drink and droans a bit on motorway journeys! oh god yes !!!!!!!!!! definately a woman I think i might lose my licence its so damn quick upto 60.......and I'm not even trying yet
  10. F have to admit - kept waking up last night - is that normal !! ?? Absolutely! Enjoy, but remember those tyres are still new Yep - and its quite damp here today ! Just getting on the train now ....... won't be long
  11. have to admit - kept waking up last night - is that normal !! ??
  12. well .... todays the day (finally) - pick her up at 2:00pm this afternoon
  13. wow - epic fail
  14. sorry threefifty - but the stories about TT are still all true my neighbour has been out of TT for 2 years and he's still getting bill demands from them - it took him 18months just to be able to get away (out of contract) and astoundingly they've been threatened with legal action, you name it and they still insist on billing him
  15. Big thanks to Jim for helping me out on a laptop related problem - all now sorted and back up and running cheers M8 (thought he could have a thread all to himself )
  16. I think I'd have to disagree with you on freewheeling - correct don't use the brakes, because you have wasted the energy getting there, just use natural engine braking. Also when freewheeling the engine will use fuel to turn the engine over and keep firing, however, keep it in gear going downhill, just take you foot off the accelerator - the momentum keeps the engine turning ie use gravity to power the engine not petrol I am no mechanic/engineer - so feel free to shoot me down
  17. and the rose-black ones are even faster Everyone knows Quartz is the fastest colour - thats why they had to limit it ah yeah.... but I got a go faster stripe with mine - thats gotta add another 5bhp at least
  18. and the rose-black ones are even faster
  19. and sort out his B pillar while your at it switltastic
  20. between 2700-6000 christ !! give up and leave it a year or so with age comes cheaper insurance (or so they used to say)
  21. currently with a white audi TT (also amazingly fast and sure footed (for an oil burner)) so coming out of the dark side picking up my 370 on Friday from Bassett in Swansea

    The Perfect 370z

    When I win the lottery that is the kit going on mine I quite like the look of the quad exhaust, but I believe these are just for show in this case ? Oh no its not: http://www.zeleperformance.com/en/parts ... /item.html But £3,322.09 oouuucccchhhh !!!! i saw a different one on one of the US sites, which was the standard single pipe, then split into 2
  23. Yes he is, just enter "EH 370z" (with no quotes) into the To box on a PM and it should find him. Toby is his name - he obviously isnt paying attention today - he's normally very quick on these threads He did respond on the previous page. Lol, how rude, he must be off selling cars to non-Zedders right now. Ooops, missed that, yes Toby said hello on page 1 he obviously hasn't been keeping up with this thread tho - he definately would have commented by now on the "spare" time a salesman has
