  1. yeah thats true, the fudge might be a bit weird. errrm... moving on before this gets weird...
  2. Hmmm, a Renaab... i think it looks alright actually!
  3. looking good! Get them all up on a photo site like flickr or something, then theres no 3 picture limit per post
  4. yeah plenty of cars don't have a rear wiper, get rid! doesnt wipe that much of the rear screen anyways!
  5. Mmmm good drive! im so happy it got dark at 8pm today - means there will be at least 3 hours of light after i get out of work. Went for a nice dive myself but no pics as i'm waiting on some bodywork repairs at the moment!
  6. I can tell you from experience that 'Welsh Lady Ass' is a rare delicacy to be savoured!
  7. other thing is, its not going to be precisely a week - depending on how the royal mail works out and things! All i hope is that he arrives to me before the 12th of May if possible! Special requests may have to be made to Vik54
  8. plate lives in the front window... in the unlikely event you get pulled, you're just on your way to get it fitted
  9. might have to consider this for myself, got a very creaky back end at the mo!
  10. Mmmm looking good! Interested to see how this handles with so much weight taken out the back of the car - i'd imagine it might be a bit lively under braking. have you thought of shifting any of the front weight rearwards to try and even out the weight distribution?
  11. Very nice! the rims aren't some ive seen before - but they're looking good! like the wrapped roof - considering wrapping mine, but a gloss black to mimic panoramic sunroof. only bad thing i would say, not sure about the eyelids, but each to their own!
  12. so good you said it twice give blackcircles.com a go as well
  13. id say they were trying to get you to buy better rubber - yes, the falkens are midrange tyres, but in all honesty, the zed isnt that fast... maybe stick with the premium stuff on your m3s, RS4s and porsches and like, but 280 is less than some hatchbacks these days. a set of four falkens would be about £500 fitted, and the difference between mismatched, on the limit, budget jobbies will be light years apart i'd give it a go selling the budget tyres on ebay - although id make it very clear that these are sold as seen, buyer to inspect fully before buying, no refunds, if in any doubt dont buy. I sold a pair a while back in good faith, but after the seller got them home his local tyre place said they wouldnt fit them, and so demanded a part refund - i gave it to him, but next time i'd have made it clear its a case of caveat emptor.
  14. wheres the airbag fuse? cant you just take that out to disable the bags?
  15. well looked after id say £7k-£7.5k... but remember, low miles isnt an excuse for poor servicing, should have been done yearly regardless of mileage
  16. he might have flashed you back
  17. i would think a halfords filter will have better filtration than some branded ones, which can sacrifice filtration for higher airflow. the ideal would be a filter that has high airflow AND retains decent filtration of airborne dust and other nasties. only difference i see is that a halfords one will need replacing every year (as will an OEM filter) whereas branded ones can be cleaned and reused/reoiled and so suposedly save money in the long run. But overall, filter makes a small difference in performance - i'd be more worried about the oil - bigger difference there between halfords own brand and branded stuff as im sure you know

    Downforce

    looks like someone has smeared a lump of shaving foam across their boot.
  19. oh ive got no problem with nissan - anyone who knows cars that they've actually done great things for the everyday driver with the S-, R- and of course Z- lines keep the badges, just swap the fairlady to a 350z badge
  20. quickest sale ever? thats 2 minutes from original post to reply and sold! have to see how it looks on your car at the next meet Ian!
  21. swap for a 350 badge... i like admiring the rear 3/4 view of my car and thinking, 'yes, thats a 350z...' 'thats MY 350z' 'that 350z means 3.5 litres of V6 goodness...' >looks around car park< 'none of these other cars are 350zs...' 'but mine is, it says 350z on it...' ...and repeat
  22. had an awkward moment this morning... pulled up to a crossroads just as the lights turned to red in the right turn lane, when a silver zed pulled up in the straight ahead lane next to me... cue awkward silence as i think, if i wave, and he doesnt, or even if he does, we'd then be sitting there next to each other awkwardly for the next 30 seconds waiting for the lights to change in the end, didnt do anything, but i think when the lights changed he held onto first that little bit longer as an acknowledgement!
  23. hmm id go for falkens as well myself, ran them on two cars and was perfectly happy with them. How many miles are you doing a year? cos if its low, i'd get bridgestones to match the rears, and justify the price difference by the fact that they'll be lasting three years (in my case) before needing replacing.
  24. nah, he cant make the wales meet, as hes coming up Ben Nevis with me! 4 members til me, and its just over 6 weeks away... timing could be perfect!
