congratulations, what job is it?

yeah! Had a baby girl 5 months ago, and the plan was to buy a car to take her round in when needed. But my girlfriend has a 5dr S3 which we use as the family wagon so decided to buy another zed!

Hello! Back in my 3rd zed! After selling my last zed just over a year ago I've had; 1989 MK2 VW Jetta with a G60 conversion MK1 Focus ST170 WRX bugeye Wagon WRX bugeye saloon WRX Hawkeye Saloon BMW E46 330ci Now back in a Zed again! Ive done the BGW and bright coloured wheels on my last 2 - and I'm past all that now. So this one is going to be OEM+ But still doing sub 8m30s 'Ring laps and the odd trackday whilst being a daily driver. Plans are for the moment; Front and rear DS2500 brake pads Front and rear DBA T2 brake discs Braided lines Currently on Eagle F1 tyres, will have Toyo R888 for track. Velocity stack air box intake mod Plenum spacer Berk HFC Stillen Y Pipe Currently has Powerflow exhaust, may change for miltek. Remap Lowered - still doing research in this area for performance vs cost. Rear half Custom cages roll cage with removable front bars for track days. Spacers - not a performance mod, just because the wheels are buried in the arches! That should see me doing sub 8m30s BTG nurburgring times.

Maybe you should get off the thread then and put your attention in to your own car. Woah, hostility. i'm not the first to say it and i wont be the last. you asked what people think and i gave my opinion.

i was really enjoying this thread right up until you wrapped it and put awful wheels on.

Come on look closely .............. Still not see it??? The Number Plate has changed Still not seeing it sorry Got it! He's put a zed shed sticker on. Nailed it.

Black 350z, any spec. Brembos preferred though. Any mileage, cat c/d considered also. £5000 is all I want to spend.

Hi, I'm after some rays to fit on my Hawkeye WRX. Not to bothered on colour as I'll be respraying them. Not to bothered if they are curbed or come with tyres etc. As long as they aren't buckled/damaged. Cheers.

Hi, Gunmetal rays. Preferably ones that dont need refurbing/resprayong. With/without tyres is fine. Thanks.

I've managed to buy some standard alloys for £30! Winning. Oh and I'm just waiting on a huge rear spoiler to come up for sale in the correct colour

'Rari Workout - Lethal B.... Actually quite entertaining to watch..

Nope. still hate them!! ahah. Thank you though. Think i need to find a wheel i like instead.

i can get the wheels redone for £150 (refurb and respray) but a different set of wheels will be £200+tyres minimum. So was just trying to explore the cheaper option first, as if they looked okay ild deal with them. My inital plan was to put 350z rays on. but ill have to buy wheel adaptors, the alloys + tyres and maybe some arch work...

Hi guys! Right, so i got a new toy. But my god the wheels are awful i know. They are so awful i have no idea what they are. All i know is the centre cap says "ACE", but browsing the net i have failed to find any wheels that look similar on their website or in general. I have a hatred for 5 spoke wheel. and shitty dish wheels. so these are not top of my list. Anyways, its either get them resprayed and change them. Ill explore the cheaper option first. So would some kind soul like to photoshop my wheels for me? Im thinking of a gunmetal grey colour all over. And would they also be able to lower the car slightly. - Not a huge amount, as i still enjoy my back currently! Cheers!

I'm going to have this choice in a few months. I need something that can tow and travel to the corners of the uk using as minimal fuel as possible. I do love the look of the Touareg, but for the money the xc90 is a massive contender. What did you decide in the end?

Santa pod salesman are you now?!

I've ruled out 3dr cars as they just seem far too much hassle day to day. If there was a car that I loved more and couldn't bear to part with it, then i would put up with it, but I haven't found that yet!

F**k ugly though. OP - as the father of twins, I see where you are coming from about 4 doors. But in all honesty, 3 doors isn't too much of a deal breaker. We managed quite easily when we had a 3 door focus as a courtesy car. I was thinking that, but what convinced me I needed 4 doors was when I saw someone getting a kid in the back of a Clio 172.....

Yes I still intend to go ring every year, and break the 9m barrier. I was looking at getting a track car and then a family daily car, but the cost will just be too much, so need a car that can do both. And yes, I've already told her I'm still going every year!! I rarely drink or spend money on expensive clothes/watches etc. so it's my yearly treat to myself. 10+ laps of the ring with a few mates for the weekend is all I need! (Well, maybe a trip to spa on the way!) And then 2/3 other trackdays throughout the year if time/funds allow. I looked at the 330d, but I've had two e46s (320ci and a 325i) and disliked them both after a few weeks/months. So I imagine I'll grow to hate it aswell. I don't see the need for the estate/wagon wrx? Surely the saloon is suffice? Would love a big v8 but the fuel would just empty my wallet I think!

I though of that, but I still have a lot of development in myself to make first before I start getting into silly power/start playing with a wrx. Was only 12seconds slower than 'daveyboy11' 350z round ring this year in my st170...

Looking for 4doors for ease of getting in and out back

They just look too old for me unfortunately. Awesome cars though!

Hi guys, My girlfriend is due in November with our first child This now means I have to find a suitable family car. I want a car that has 4/5 doors, but can also do a sub 9m nurburgring lap time. Been looking at scoobys for the past few weeks. - bug/blob wrx up to around the £5k mark Then will spend a fair amount on suspension setup/brakes/tyres. Not looking for front wheel drive. Is there realistically anything else that fits the bill?

I did! They're for something else! Which I'm sure will be hated on here! But rays are lights, and good 18" wheels! £800 for rays?! That's mad!

Hi, I'm after a set of rays. Doesn't matter if they need a refurb or don't have tyres as they will be resprayed and my own tyres fitted. Many thanks,
