  1. Good stuff. Just didn't want to hear a load of people who do 20 minute commutes to be saying 5 mpg or something
  2. Well these figures and the other in the 'post a pic of your mpg' thread sound fine I only get 23mpg out of my 1.8T 225 TT
  3. Well whaddya know... it works Cheers
  4. I bet this has been asked loads of times, but as the search engine doesn't do 3 letter words like MPG, i'm going to ask it again So i have a short 20 minute rush hour commute to work, based on your experience, what's a realistic MPG figure for short trips like that? I know what you're going to say, "if you're worried about mpg, get a diesel, a-hole!" and i'm not that bothered, but obviously there's a big difference between 18mpg and say, if it was 5mpg
  5. Yeah, i forgot the mk2 TT body is almost completely aluminium.... That would be why. And yeah, they are more expensive. Seems the rear strut brace is a bit over the top really doesn't it Has anybody ever cut it off and weighed it?
  6. Just weighing up potential cars to buy (pun intended ) and noticed that the 350z is epically heavy! Compared to 3.2 Mk2 Audi TT for example, which is listed as 1410Kg, and this has back seats, quattro etc... What is it that makes the 350Z 1545 Kg ?!?! Seems a shame really, the Z should be a lot faster than it is really :/ These two cars have the same 0-60 time, but the z has 30-40 more bhp.
  7. I got bought T77 LUK for my birthday for my TT, which was ok, but never really thought about what a pain in the ass it would be when changing cars Just had to pay my £105 to put it on retention, now have to wait a month before i'll have my V5 back and can sell my car
  8. OMG that is beautiful! Edit: to change the gay hugging smiley i used
  9. Wondering if there's anyone here who's made the transition from a mk1 TT 225 to a Z? This is what i'll be doing (if i ever flog mine ) so just wondering what those people thought? I've been for a test drive in one, but you can never really drive how you want to, so do they feel quicker? My tt had a stage 1 remap, to around 250BHP, so was no slouch, but i'd really like the Z to feel faster than that. Went to look at one yesterday, 2005 UK GT, 29,000miles, could get it for £9,500, which seems like a hell of a lot of car for the money
  10. Excellent! Thanks guys I reckon 20 / 25 looks spot on Can't wait to get Z shopping! Been trying to resist looking too much before i get my car sold.
  11. Just wondering what spacers look best on the z.... haven't got my Z yet, but i've noticed that pretty much every Z i've seen has the wheels tragically disappearing into the arches maybe because i've come from the VAG scene... So it would be great if you could show me what spacers you have..... Cheers
  12. Don't worry chaps, i'm almost here As soon as i sell my TT i'll be on the lookout
  13. Pleeeeaaaaaassssseeeee don't use these. I just sent 4 19" BBS LMs, one got completely mashed. They use Citi Link, who are cack.
  14. I'm in Blackpool... A looooooonnnnnngggg way from you... If you've ever been on the TT Forum you'd have seen it...
  15.
