  3. After talking to Kris today, I totally understand his reasons for parting with the zed.

    Total shame, as I always described his 350 as an "awesome car" which was actually an understatement when you saw it "in the flesh".

    Have to say, I'm pretty quiet on here, but I hope Kris remains a part of this forum as he has a passion for the zed that is second to none and is always looking to bring fellow owners together.

    I wish him all the best with the Audi ( very nice btw.)

    A Total gem of a guy who is credit to this forum.

    All the best with your new chariot mate!!!

  4. Purchased front ARB bushes.....only to find they are the wrong size for my zed...

    I have now fitted the correct size and therefore offering them to who ever wants them ....postage costs only.

    Bushes are from Super Pro and are suitable for a 32 mm anti roll bar (my car required 34mm).

    The bushes have been coated in the supplied grease and trial fitted until I noticed they were the wrong size....

    I have cleaned them up as best I can and will include the remaining super pro grease.. Not a single mile on them.

    If anyone wants them give me a shout.

  5. Fair shout mate. Maybe I've just been unlucky, however just sharing my experience and potentially saving someone from going through the same hassle as me. He did eventually say he would refund my money but that was two weeks ago, hence the claim through paypal.

     

  6. A word of warning to anyone thinking about buying these......

    I purchased a rear diffuser from "mike smith UK" at the beginning of December 2013. Never received the diffuser and I am still attempting to get refund through paypal.

    Usual story...said he posted it but can't give me a tracking number etc.....This guy has been wasting my time and has had my money for over a month now.......potential buyers beware!!!!

  7. Hi mate. I owned an Rx8 for two years prior to moving to the 350z. I agree there are a lot of other factors to consider when buying an Rx8. However with the 350...a check of the service history and a test drive should see you alright. Having owned the 350 for about six months I can understand why these cars are compared to each other. The 350 is just as nimble as the Rx8 so long as you take into account the extra power available through the rear and the power really does tell on the straight bits. I have to say I prefer the 350 due to the power delivery lower in the range always putting a smile on my face.

    The only other point I have noted is the differences in fuel consumption between both cars. I expected the 350 to be just as heavy if not worse than the Rx8. However I was surprised to find that the 350 under normal use was returning 33MPG. Compare that to the mazda which was approx 19 MPG under the same conditions.

    All things considered I have to say I was not dissapointed whith the 350.

    Best of luck!!
