  1. As said, it’s completely fine to sell a car on PCP, privately or to a dealer. Done it a few times myself. You just need to pay off the balance with the proceeds of sale.
  2. Yep. My research pretty much resulted in the same conclusion. Not worth the outlay. Just get some decent drop-ins.
  3. Betraying my lack of technical knowledge here..... Took my Z for a service last week. Although this wasn’t an MOT I noticed when I got home that the garage jotted down a couple of what they said were minor advisories. One was “Aux belt looks old but not cracked”. I had my drive belt replaced at the last service so is the “Aux belt” something different? Cheers
  4. Sorry to see this but glad you’re ok.

    Exhaust Advice

    I believe some exhausts come in a Nismo and non Nismo version.

    Exhaust Advice

    I’ve owned both variants of the 370. Some systems do fit both and some don’t so best not to assume that a part from one will fit the other. I think Milltek is a very quiet system so you might not get much benefit sound wise anyway.
  7. Not heard that particular combo but I'm guessing it might be a bit too too loud for most tastes. If you can find someone with a similar set up to listen to in person that would be best as vids never seem to give a true impression of loudness.
  8. Just my opinion but having previously had 370Zs, including a Nismo, remapped, I don't think it's worth the outlay if your only mod is an aftermarket exhaust.
  9. With the exception of the Mk1 Nismo wing, I don't think I've ever seen an aftermarket wing on a 350 or 370 that didn't make me think the car would look better without it.
  10. Ditto mine. It was definitely fitted correctly. I always do my research and was aware the pipes can easily be fitted the wrong way around. The problem with my mine was that because the issue was not lateral misalignment no amount of adjustment made a difference. One tip pretty much lined up with the edge of the bumper and poking out about an inch and a half. Fabrication was the only option, which was disappointing for one of the more pricey systems.
  11. Yep I’m happy with mine now but it was s bit disappointing to have to shell out an extra £100 quid to get it to look right. I’m too OCD to have misaligned tips
  12. Actually it wasn't. It was originally fitted by Sly. The fitting was then double checked by a very reputable garage. It was fitted correctly.
  13. I have an Ark Grip. It’s quieter than short tails but a very good sound. It also looks the business. However, be aware that a small proportion of owners have fitting issues with this exhaust. I had to pay a local fabricator to have mine shortened on one side because one tip was sticking out significantly more than the other. No amount of adjustment would sort the issue so it was case of remove one tip, shorten and weld back on.
  14. Nice job. The internal plastics do seem prone to scratching at the slightest provocation.
  15. A certain equilibrium - casually racist populist buffoons in charge on either side of the Atlantic.
  16. You do know that gay people don’t “choose” to be gay right? They’re just are.
  17. The phrase ”ignorance is bliss” was invented for some of the posts on here!
  18. No offence bud but your whole left wing right wing preoccupation seems to be stopping you from recognising that topics like the one you started cannot be turned into a simple left v right argument. They are much too complicated and nuanced to be neatly packaged up in that way. Also, have you really thought what “total freedom of speech” would actually mean? I guess it would be ok for anyone who felt like it to go around saying “Hey everyone, let’s kill some black people for fun, let’s molest some kiddies etc?” You can’t say no to that or anything else if you have “total freedom of speech”. There are certain restrictions on what people can say for very good reasons.
  19. That’s nice of you
  20. The OP thinks there is a ”left wing majority” on here. Interesting. If left wing = tolerance I think somebody should tell the Labour party. And I still see posts on here using ”gay” to describe things pejoratively. As far as I'm concerned, the golden rule in life should be if a person wants or feels they have to do something that a) makes them happier and b) isn't hurting anyone else, let them get on with it. Education and tolerance are the key to a good life and a happier World. I'd rather live in a country where transgenderism is accepted and featured in education than in one of the numerous countries where it can land a person in prison or dead.
  21. Grin and bear it. Longer term do what I’m in the process of doing - find a house with no neighbours at all. Seriously though, you could a lot worse than a neighbour who gabbles on too much. Anything you say to put him off is likely to offend and could make it more unpleasant in the long run.
  22. This was mine. I got £21k part ex. on an A45 AMG. Often wish I’d kept it but selling made sense at the time. At 50 I feel a bit less conspicuous in the GT I have now.
  23. Feel your pain. Currently selling two properties and buying a third. Such a stressful experience!
  24. I can recommend these as a good alternative to painting the floor. I have this brand on the floor of my garage. They're really durable, look great and are easy to keep clean. https://www.screwfix.com/p/coba-europe-tough-lock-pvc-interlocking-floor-tiles-black-500mm-x-500mm-4-pack/82048?tc=LT4&ds_kid=92700038925503047&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1241687&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249407&gclid=CjwKCAjw0tHoBRBhEiwAvP1GFfkccBFYKQqNFMLgLWiqVq9Cz_t2ZlxbnwStauPXNtSS9b_f6YW6pBoCSFIQAvD_BwE
