An R8 it aint! Not for me thanks, i'll stick with my naturally aspirated 3.5 litre. 350bhp from a 1.8 is asking for trouble.

nice motor, welcome to the forum

should be plenty around - i paid £6800 for the exact same spec as that, a 53 plate with 41k on the clock. could probably get a slighty newer one than that if you're prepared to go for a higher mileage example.

welcome to the forum! Rookie mistake to allow a 17year old out in a zed... especially one thats not his! plenty of good zeds about for you dont settle for anything less than the perfect car for you!

think you're pretty much done on the engine front - only possible thing might be a 06 airbox? sounds to me like brakes and suspension are next on the agenda, the zed is already a pretty stiff chassis.

350z magnetic tax disc holder for £5 and stubby aerial for £6 off fleabay, then a decent car shampoo, wax and sponge combo from halfords for the remaining £9. or, if thats too much for you, heres my list of cheap (free) mods... wind windows down a touch - better exhaust sound into the cabin make sure all tyres are at the correct pressure (usually 35psi on 18s) - better handling, better fuel economy take the spare wheel and jack out the boot - saves 20kgs of weight, giving fractionally better acceleration, braking and handling ditch the missus - saves xx kilos of weight, better acceleration and handling, plus cures the annoying whine from the nearside seat when pushing on, allowing you to brake later and corner faster

Another vote for Admiral just wrote off my civic, so claimed on insurance, bought a zed and they wanted £560 for the remaining 8 months of the year. im pretty much situation as you as well, 25, driving for 4 years, and had 1yrs NCB.

loving the wing! Now thats man size. although for the racer look i'd go stanced with a stillen splitter, rather than the GTR bumper. Its not a GTR, its a Zed!

All good apart from the really blurred 370z - if the car was sharp it would be fine

lol, i just googled "A Petrol-Head's alternative to backpacking" (the most important bit here being the quotation marks) and only one page came up

awww looks like he made a few new friends! And as for smelling of Cow dung... what kind of cleveland steamer did that cow do to him? Ps the Goat mountain looks mental!

Its called Buzz Magazine - viewable online: http://www.scribd.com/doc/87790693/Buzz-Magazine-2012 Page 26 amazing how google finds even obscure things in seconds!

well the last torque figure certainly looks good but seriously, im amazed with the extra power you can get with hardly any boost... 6psi is nothing!

nah, its not a ferrari replica, its a Noble M600 replica... In fact i can hardly tell them apart EDIT: Clutch is probably more reliable on the replica though...

GONE to Leeroy! I'll whack it in the post for you now

The magnetic ring type, with 350Z on the back. I bought one off ebay, but the company i work for took so long to deliver it from reception to my desk i thought it had got lost in the post, and the seller kindly sent me another one for free. However, the original one did finally arrive today, so i have a spare. so, to keep a good thing going and cos i have a stamp lying around, its FREE to the first person who PMs me their address.

haha, stubby will be my first mod also when it arrives. Got my second mod already planned... a 350Z tax disc holder I know, pushing the boat out!

Welcome! Liking the rims, definitely get some bolt on 20mm spacers. doddle even for an amateur, just like changing a wheel.

Lol thats a turn up for the books! I feel for Matt Jackson though, i'm actually quite liking his driving and i think he deserved that win, must have been very frustrating. Happy that Shedden won in the end, from what i've seen over the past few years hes a solid dependable driver, but more importantly, he races cleanly!

LOL... thats my fiance! lol.... well there you go then, weirdest compliment she'll get all year.

hehehe totally sounds like im winning, mine was a 53 plate UK car, GT spec, FSH, 41k on the clocks for £6,800... definitely keep shopping around, although prices will be on the rise with the approach of summer (i bought mine the day it started snowing in february )

Dave Briggs is rocking a candy red 350z in this years Formula Drift... which is nice! In car practice at Shannonville Motorsports Park: And then a little test session at Willowsprings: Really makes me wish i had an oval track in my back garden!

+1 on the more exciting than F1, without a doubt. 16 laps of out and out warfare, especially the random grid reverse race Plus you can actually see the the thought process - the way a driver cut inside at the first corner, run side by side for half the lap, then finally finish the move at the old hairpin Plus with the variation in cars and tyres, you can actually track the progression of the cars through a race - for example the ballistic off the line pace of the BMWs before the FWD cars catch up.

well there was some action at Donington! great racing again, a lot of respect shown with cars running side by side for a lot of the track. And then again not so much respect shown by other drivers... the usual culprits! However, say what you will about Plato, but 17th on the grid to 2nd across the line is an achievement... probably should have settled for third! I think i believe his story... only cos i can't believe he would risk not finishing at all to move up from third to second

nice work! simple yet effective. who was driving the s2000 at the end? she had nice hands...
