just seeing whats happening on the forums really, bit bored... though we have just finished watching 'man on a ledge' so was quickly googling who the girl in it was... just so i know for later

cripes just one of those turbos could power a airbus! looks like an impressive bit of kit, would be interesting to know what it takes to get to 1800horsepower! another thing ive noticed (was the same on a drag Supra i saw on speedhunters) is that the lights and grills are just stuck on, and other than the air intake for the turbos, there is no open front aperture... how do these things stay cool?!?

good idea - although no cheating with the use of imcdb! i checked before i posted, and its a not a recognised spot on their site, so im happy!

awww loved the evo t when i drove it last year - really good stretch of tarmac did you worry the tcs and abs at all? looks both wet and cold... not good for driving!

holy thread ressurection batman! Just watched the episode on BBC3 yesterday, 'Pulling Double booty'... theres a scene in it where Steve is watching his chickens trying to cross the road, but they all get run over by oncoming cars in slow motion. Strangely enough, noticed that the last chicken was run over by none other than a blue 350z - had to rewind, but theres no mistaking that doorhandle and rear lights! I'm not crazy, honest.... found a clip on youtube, the zed is on screen for all of 1 second at 42seconds in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5f15wLtn8U

best 6 second video ever

Trance for me! nice steady rhythms, very melodic and relaxing makes for very smooth driving.

Only 4 zeds with 12" rear tyres! Needs to be properly slammed for them to work IMO http://www.rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails&make=Nissan&model=350Z&widthr=12&sort=1 plenty of 10" rims on the same site though

yeah, the lines a looked a little early on the turn in, some corners had a very early apex. But you got some perfect weather for a trackday, good work in March! Any photography being taken on the day?

yep went for cassette adapter and MP3 player... started off with the mp3 player on high volume as this normally seems to be best, but it just made for massive distortion especially on the bass. So turned the volume and bass down on the mp3 player to get a nice clean signal through the tape deck heads, then cranked the volume and bass back up through the BOSE headunit if necessary. I'm pretty happy with the setup and its way cheaper than replacing the entire head unit, only thing i might do is upgrade to a Sony cassette adaptor, instead of the absolute cheapest one i could find on ebay. As an aside, most of the problems from playing tapes are a result of the sound being recorded onto the tape, and then the deck heads picking the sound up off the tape - whereas adapters cut out the tape middle man so to speak, so they're actually a lot better.

Luke, why did you buy the car in the first place if it wasnt partly beacuse of the power and GT cruising ability? If those werent on the list, might i suggest an MX5 as an alternative? but you want to really appreciate the zed, get it on some country A roads, or even a motorway - and revel in the effortless speed and overtaking potential. Round town it'll be a complete waste, might as well get a diseasel.

mmm lots and lots of rain in the midlands...

As it says, its a repeat of sunday evening but definitely worth a watch if you havent seen it. Charts the rise and fall of the infamous Group B era. Harrowing stuff.

wow that is a lot of nice machinery! looks like a glorious day, your zed fits in just fine IMO

too far for me im afraid, but if you see a camera wave, and i'll wave back through the magic of television...

£525! Bargain for 19" staggered BuddyClubs IMO! GLWTS

lol mine was on 12... then 10... then just started flashing a blank as i pulled into the forecourt! Oops

That is true, taking a brand new car and making it perform like that. Although saying that, the Civics are all new for this year, and they are flying no problems - i suppose they do have the factory behind them with a good few years campaigning the previous model civic to great success. Plato is turning into a bit of an old hand at the touring car business, getting a bit grouchy at times. Same with Matt Neal, if he doesnt like something someone is doing he will say so, plus i seem to remember last season Matt Neal spent a lot of time moaning about not having enough pace! Hopefully Shedden's car will sort itself out, hes one of the old hands who still seems to be a nice guy!

hmmm, had a quick scan and it didnt seem to have any of the usual giveaways such as preposterous claims, it only claims a 100 mile range on a full charge... i'm hoping its for real!

Found that going outside of normal store opening hours means far less queues! Took the precaution of phoning ahead to check my local garage had some super in before making the trip over, since my zed was running on fumes on the way over there!

This probably isnt the right place for this, but couldnt seem to find anywhere better! Mods feel free to move somewhere more appropriate if needs be. WARNING - here be spoilers if you havent watched the races yet! Did anyone watch the BTCC today at Brands Hatch? What a day of racing! Race one: Personally i think Plato was in the wrong on Newsham - the gap wasnt there imo, there was no way Plato would have made that stick through there - three up through Paddock? No chance! Loved the way he then said after the second race 'this is how a seasoned vet moves over in paddock hill bend...' Still have much respect for him, but didnt like the move myself. Race three: What carnage! I can only imagine what it would be like for Onslow-Cole to be going straight one minute, then doing a neat 720 the next minute! could have been a lot worse than it was, but everyone seemed to park up nicely. So from rounds 1,2 and 3, its looking like a Neal/Plato battle so far... the MG has no business being that quick!

the M25 race could start, and then those who dont finish within the hour get a £1000 fine and a 6 month ban. make it interesting for any zeds taking part...

>sigh< petrol light has just come on... lets hope my local sainsburys has some super left for me! Although, 20miles to empty should be plenty to get me to and from work all of next week, might wait until then lol

Looks like a fun day out!

WOW that looks the business! extra power AND shiny what kinda power are you hoping for and what boost pressure?
