  1. why not 25mm up front and 30mm on the rear? Is anyone able to post a decent pic showing the amount of overhang still left on the arch after fitting 20mm and 25mm spacers?

  2. I know personally I would be looking to either upgrade to the Brembo's or seeing as in reality it itsny hugely more expensive to get D2 big brakes for the car, I think you can get 6 pots front and 4 pots for the rear as whole kits for around £1600 in total. (someone correct me if im wrong)

     

    I would personally be interested to know how much it would actually cost to retrofit the Brembo's, I imagine it would work out to be fairly expensive if you were buying new disks all around and pads, along with lines...

  3. Im a massive gamer, this may come under the sounding sad category but I used to be sponsored by infused to play Halo 3 at LAN tournaments my team was ranked 4th in Europe at my last attended event, I had been playing games competitively since late Halo 2 days, all the way through Halo 3 and gave up when Bungie made Halo Reach awful. I just seem to integrate with first person shooters quite well.

     

    These days I dont take things as serious, have got a PS3 which I rarely use due to all it ever wanting to do is update, but would be on MGS4 or GT5, possibly some little big planet 2 also :p I do love it when I have the time to set up my steering wheel and get the racing games on.

    Game on PC too, if I am I will be playing Starcraft 2 (which is amazing if you like RTS games) also on Steam for various other titles, looking forward to Diablo III also just need to wait till June to play it (I know it will consume my life and just don't have the time currently).

    My main platform is xbox 360 and at the moment I'm mainly playing COD MW3 with mates, getting in on some clan ops and stuff. I have somehow spent far too much time on that game since it came out and am nearly 15th prestige after doing a stat reset at 10th the first time round... :blush:

    Nerd signing out lol

  4. Hi guys and gals, I know the spacer question has cropped up a million times before and the answer always seems to be 20mm front and 25mm rear. However is this just being super safe?

     

    I have got rays and really need to cure the arch gap, im also lowered on coilovers due to this am also running more camber than standard so the wheels look even more lost in those arches. Would I be able to go for 30mm spacers at the rear and 25mm up front? I have an arch roller that I could use if needs be to get rid of the lip, im just not looking to flare my arches.

     

    I would love to get the zed looking a lot more stanced.

     

    Also on a side note, does anyone know if MW tech are still selling spacers?

     

    Cheers

  5. My heart genuinely sunk when I saw the pic :(

     

    Someone did this to me to my brand new car in 2007 about a week after it was delivered, wasnt a happy bunny and was similar damage but to a different car.

     

    Like others have said I think around £300ish

  6. I bought my import in December of last year for 7.5k with 40k miles on it, had rays, AEM induction kit, Nismo bodykit too.

     

    Id say they are looking for a lot of money for an import, like others have said you can easily pick up a nice UK GT car for that money.

  7. If the car isnt dropped I assume OEM setup is probably best, but at the moment my geometry is all over the shop, lots of camber on the front and rear along with a slight bit of toe out on the front and a bit of toe in on the rear. Need to get some adjustable suspension components then I can set it up properly. Doesnt feel bad currently just will wear through tyres a bit fast.

     

    If tyre wear isnt of much concern you could have a fairly aggressive geometry which would feel great on "spirited" drives or on track.

  8. good lord that sounds yummy lol, pleased that your happy with it. I assume on the autoblip downshift it sounds awesome too. Just imagine it decatted ;)

     

    I also massively wish I had a pit in my garage, I need to make friends with some of you lot that have these awesome home garage setups :blush:

  9. I at some point would like some Nismo N1 skirts at somepoint, have you not thought about getting the Nismo rear spats? and a Nismo N1 or N2 front bumper?

     

    All depends on what rear bumper you were thinking of getting but whatever you do dont alter the side-skirts lol

  10. I would also say proper coilovers are your best option, I considered lowering springs but then I wouldnt have the adjustment I wanted, i.e. ride height and dampener stiffness. Not entirely sure what the spring rates are on XYZ coilovers (what I have) but would be interested in trying some other ones on the shocks.

  11. 23, used to be a health and safety officer for a national roofing firm, hated it and now im currently towards the end of my second year of uni studying motorsport engineering at oxford brookes.

     

    Also work for Britcar during the race season, for those of you who dont know they run two series' endurance GT racing and production car endurance races. Most well known for running the 24 hour race each year at Silverstone (2007 top gear did it in the diesel BMW).

  12. First question which petrol station in Haywards Heath (thats where im based) as every one I came across was rammed with people panic buying, and there is no super left in the shell (where I normally fill up).

     

    But welcome to zed ownership, if your around Haywards Heath and you see a silver coupe with a Nismo front bumper and spoiler give it a flash its me :teeth:

  13. Thanks Dave.

     

    The quality is amazing. I couldn't believe a Scorpion when I saw it up close. Thought it had been welded by Stevie Wonder.

     

    If thats still here by the end of the month id be massively tempted, will have to go check out some sound clips, but for a catback system thats good money i think :)

     

    (get paid thats my reason for hesitation haha)
