Star Wars - The Force Awakens Discussion *SPOILERS*
coldel replied to marzman's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Kylo Ren was quite possibly the worst sith ever, I reckon I could have had him using just a rolling pin instead of a light sabre. And yes, should have kept the mask on... -
Sad to see, at least you sound like you came out relatively unscathed, you can always get another Zed. So where is it now?

Star Wars - The Force Awakens Discussion *SPOILERS*
coldel replied to marzman's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I wonder when someone will make a film that is not based on comic book characters, not that I don't like the movies but its all getting a bit out of hand! The more I talk about Star Wars with people catching up and watching it, the less I get excited about it, it was a bit samey and thus predictable. Although in relative terms way ahead of the three prequals. Watching Kingsman the other week, what a film, one of the best I have seen in years. -
Because they know white folk can't use the "N" word It's all abit tiresome really. Good and bad folk in every race and unfortunately the bad folk have a bigger audience than they ever used to on soical media et al. Unfortuantely the knock on effect of that is that more and more people seem to believe the bile they spout and it becomes a self propogating cesspit. Sad times. Donald Trump!

Left my car unlocked last night & was robbed

Sounds like you got off lightly, car broken into with £20 worth of collateral damage is a let off. Although horrible to know some scrote has been rooting around in your car. -
Apparently there are more awards ceremonies in Hollywood than there are days of the year - so much so that big actors like Tom Hanks receive about a hundred a year and isn't there to pick up 95 of them. The whole 'celebrity' industry has built itself up to genuinely believe that they do a very important job, that everyone wants to hear what they have to say and that the world couldn't get by without them. I rarely watch TV and always skip the 'celebrity' news online and in papers as its all quite frankly B0110CK5.

Not tried that one but have one of these, had it for over a year now and still going strong, amazing towel http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/Chemical_Guys_Wooly_Mammoth_Drying_Towel_p/woolmamm.htm Otherwise I get the large yellow Kent ones on ebay at £3.85 each, very good towels

I know its subjective, but looks utter crap, and would handle about as well as the above.
-
Absolutely, but just tossing the idea out there, I had the VX as my only car Loads of cars out there that give an exciting and different ride to the zed, I am still astonished at how cheap you can get GT4s for, an absolute bargain for instance. Its old but its had all the consumables done on it, no signs of rust, engine still in great shape etc. But yes, my comment still stands, any petrol head should own an elise or vx at some point - its as close to driving a single seater as you can get and utterly thrilling each time you get in the car.

Don't give up there are certainly more cars out there that offer a different driving experience to the Zed for the same money. I would wholeheartedly recommend every petrolhead should own a VX or Elise at some point in their life, makes the Zed seem like you were driving a bus - (prepares flame suit) I have been making my way through a number of cars since the Zed and enjoying the different offerings, that said was a bit confused as to why you would go for a WRX as well as some other people on here.

As he said, it really isn't much of a faff once you get the knack of it, also just make sure the car is clean before applying. Had one on my VX for 6 months absolutely no problems at all and if you think Nissan paint is poor...
-
Ha! The absolute 'I couldnt give a toss' approach to car care. I wonder how long it will take for garages to have it in their process to ensure dash cams are switched off by mechanics before thrashing cars as it seems to be catching them out time and again nowadays.

No longer a potential 350Z owner...

Nice one, well done on a well thought through and considered purchase! -
I guess if the car is a daily it can be a problem, I just went 3 days without using the VX220 (very doable in our climate!) to get the dash done: Its going to cost a bit more but will completely cover each part you do, last the distance and certainly not peel off. I am very OCD and couldnt live with seeing parts of the original dash visible around the stickers.
-
Hmmm, would rather spend the money on hydro dipping to be honest which covers the parts completely, sorry!
-
Depends on how much you use the car, if its sat there for weeks at a time not moving then go for it. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. I had one on my VX220 which went on for bad weather but in summer left it off, I remember getting it then putting it on and we had a storm and finding a load of branches from trees on top of the car the next morning, thank you Halfords for your £40 4 layer cover!
-
Heard similar stories before, that the adhesive isn't great and it peels back. A lot of money for 'some stickers' if you ask me...
-
I guess like anything you get what you pay for and research into. My 21 year old Toyota has so far been utterly fantastic, I wouldn't write off a Jap car because of age. However my perception is that lots of Subaru's are mistreated and driven pretty hard all the time. I guess having a read through on the Subaru forums is a good place to start - my mate had a Subaru and it was faultless in the 3 years ownership.

Totally agree with Rob, made this point before, max BHP is pretty pointless as a measure in terms of gains, you should be looking at the difference pre and post modification to see how well your mods have performed across all the usable rev range. in terms of a max bhp 'score' I remember SMD DE hitting over 300bhp with the same mods I had on mine which from memory got 288bhp or something, and his had 50k more miles on it

If you google Gliptone you can find some interesting reading on how to restore Zed leather on the seats, you can buy a kit and do it in a day with a number of stages of repair. I went for a much more matt finish on my seats when I did it. see below: Loads of new spoiler options, most people default to a Nismo type spoiler but if you contact Tarmac Sportz on here who is a trader he can take you through some spoiler choices
