Not quite sure what the point of this post is? Yeah a few people want more power, but thats fine, why not? Most people like you buy for the looks, then like to play with their toys which includes power upgrades, but its not because people don't know what they are buying (generally) its because they love tinkering and making the most out of their cars. Remaps for instance on an NA vastly improve the drivability of the Zed, not the performance (worth doing your research on this). Its also nice to know that you don't have x3 the insurance cost and have to service a Zed every time you drive it to the end of the road and back as well If anyone had done their research there is no point comparing to an Evo, the Zed is a GT car not a rally monster. That said, you could get a nice little VXT220 and absolutely murder an Evo round a track, every time

Yeah go for it, I would push it as far as you can, clearly you are not guessing its a firework and its clear the ruddy thing came down and was burning as it hit the roof. Vinyl isn't like paper, it takes a fair amount of effort to punch a hole like that through. If you got the firework and photographic evidence then usually a council is covered for it, not like someone launching one out a milk bottle in their back garden. You are just down in Surrey somewhere aren't you? I have some time on my hands if you need an extra pair of hands recovering the roof let me know, done some wrapping myself so have some idea and how it all works.

Dropped you a text mate

Well with Alfie now 8 1/2 months old (doesn't time fly) we are starting to stockpile a lot of stuff which is 0-6 months baby stuff. All of it is in great condition, kept clean etc. Mostly looking for people to collect from TW10 Richmond as its bulky to deliver. Mamas and Papas Baby Changing Unit, comes with the plastic changing mat cleaned of course - £50 Silver Cross Car Seat 0-6 months old, he is now in a forward facing chair hence no need for this is for sale, also have a seat belt extender as I know from fitting it to our Focus the belt isn't quite long enough to go around the seat fully - £40 Door Bouncer (Lindam) - £10. Baby Carrier (Infantino) - £10. BabyStarts Bouncer Chair (a must have for anyone with a baby on the way!) - £15. As I say mostly for collection (might be able to post the baby carrier) from Richmond, available during the day also in the week. All funds from this sale will go towards this little fellas bank account

Caps and Cats still for sale

Dont think many Zeds come with the BT adaptor, loads for sale on here or ebay though.

Thinking back when buying mine most common faults: - Check the clutch bite, although some people will say that a high biting point can be normal, from the Zeds I drove most are not high and this can be a sign of a clutch on the way out, £1000 for a new clutch kit and fitting. Its just not worth the risk if you are on a budget, look for one with a replacement. - Check the windows, motors are prone to playing up, sometimes its a failed motor sometimes it just needs resetting but worth checking. - Check underneath for any wet oil, could be a sign of a leak, at that mileage could be an issue. Make sure they guy starts it up from cold and stand at the back when he does to check for any blue smoke out the exhaust. If he hasn't driven it for a while there might be a squeak of it, but if a fairly large plume comes out you know there are problems. - Otherwise the advice above is good, check suspension, check for paintwork problems.

anyone want any of the above, make me an offer, thats sensible...

I met my other half for the first time outside Coventry train station, got straight in her and took her for a spin. We are separated now. Oh, hang on, you don't mean the Zed do you... ...I met my wife at work 7 years ago, at a leaving do for someone in her department, I feigned an interest in Fencing which she said she wanted to try and the next day set about finding a local Fencing class we could try out, and it went from there.

Keep up the garbage mate, including all that football talk

Yes bear in mind a normal decat will be louder. HFCs, the Berks anyway, also emit a rasp which is very audible. Motordyne are the spacer of choice but as the guy says, Wasso has an offer on the go.

...sorry, couldn't resist the wind up

But it doesn't say Z33 on the log book

A 350z is a 350z though...

Whats a Z33...

Best colour, nice car, personally would take the GT badge off...

Wasso has a standard back box (oooh errr!) coupled with aftermarket cats and mid pipe, and sounds absolutely stunning. If the back box is in good nick, probably no need to change it.

I have an 8 month old baby...here are my 'findings' when it comes to cars 1. You wont be able to take baby out in the Zed, even if you deactivate the airbag etc, a small baby sat in the front is in much more danger in an accident than being in the back. 2. An estate car is NOT necessary. We have been using a mk1 focus and storage space is more than adequate. 3. A friend of mine got a mercedes estate for her little 'un, she is now desperately trying to get shot of it as its too big for what she needs and wants a hatchback 4. Check what buggy you are planning on getting before buying a saloon car. They fold up in different ways, some fold into a long thin shape, some fold flat, the ones that fold flat will take up a lot of room in the saloon boot as they will need to be flat on the bottom of the boot whereas in the hatchback you can have them up on their sides. The better buggies fold flat. 5. You will become the worlds safest driver when you have the little 'un in the car with you so power means nothing. 6. Buy sun visors for the back windows.

What about the APR option Chris? that works literally as an undertray as well as a front splitter and is carbon fibre

Been totally off the ball for a while now though

I got a fully constructed 5 drawer chest of drawers in the back of the Focus...with the seats down most hatchbacks are good for fitting stuff in. You just dont need huge boot space all the time.

Haha I liked what you did there on my last post

What have you done. The whole site will now be 'tinkered' with over the coming months, standard parts of the site will be replaced by expensive bits ordered in from the US, black will turn to blue, white will turn to silver and before you know it forumitis had infected everyone!

Or a Skoda! Again out of the VW stable like the Seat, so decent build quality, decent engines etc, an Octavia VRS is bigger than a Cupra but still pretty quick. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201141421842245
