  1. FFS, I was watching these on ebay... wish I'd known they were on driftworks, I would have bought them last week!
  2. +1 Utterly disgraceful... I know it's the least of your worries now, but you have to send them the bill for that... They must have liability insurance for just that kind of thing. Tarmac is a true gent!
  3. I am interested, especially at the cheaper end of your predicted charge. In the best colour please!
  4. Dave, you couldn't let me have my moment in the sun!
  5. I changed to Virgin a few months ago from O2.
  6. So ignore all the stuff about import duty as the Z Store is a well known American company!
  7. If you order expensive items like exhausts or spacers etc. you will save a fortune, even after import duty and VAT. Most items will be cheaper as UK traders will import from the US and there is still a margin for them. The price of most items seem to be matched $ to £, so depending on the exchange rate you're saving around 40%... ... Minus 3% import duty and 20% VAT. The only downside is the hassle if something goes wrong.
  8. I had this same issue. Got the parts from Alex and it's not happened since.
  9. I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid can't do that!
  10. You'll also want a plenum spacer £200, upper plenum (If you have the DE revup engine) £500 and all totally useless (Performance wise) without a remap £400.
  11. +1 on the Black Diamond from CS. They don't cost the earth and work really well.
  12. +1 TVR's = Winning! More pics pls!
  13. Those pesky )$ plate TT's are everywhere! For what it's worth, I was after a 225 TT for absolutely ages... until I realised I could get a Zed for about the same money. The TT just seemed a little sedate and lifeless in comparison. The Zed has it's flaws, no doubt, but the sound it makes and the looks are Also, none of my mates have called me a hairdresser, when they blatantly would have rinsed me if I'd got a TT... Even a QS...
  14. Nice is lovely, but you should go and visit some of the towns / villages surrounding. Particularly Monaco if you get the chance. It's about 1 euro on the bus (Or at least it was). There is also a Matisse museum / exhibition which is well worth a trip if you're into that sort of thing!
  15. Undeniably, the Nexus is a lovely bit of kit. My mate brought his in to work today and it's fantastic. It just seems a bit of a faff surrounding the lack of storage. Cloud only works if you have a decent WiFi connection, which would say be my house... I don't need cloud storage there as I have a PC and NAS. Anywhere else is reliant on a WiFi or 3G connection which is limited and expensive... Take an example of a flight to America. I want to watch a few films there and back and listen to some music. No WiFi or 3G, so cloud is not an option. The device is not big enough to store all I want to take... If I use an external drive, how do I power the device as the USB port is occupied and I don't have enough charge? With the Galaxy Tab 2 I can take as many additional SD Cards as I want and I can charge at the same time. I'd honestly rather have a lower spec device that does everything I need. Why should you have to compromise or muck around to get something to work the way you want it. This isn't designed as a Nexus 7 bash, as it is a fantastic device, just too limited storage wise, but then they had to make it have some limitations for the price.
  16. Yeah, did that... not much improvement. Oh well, I guess the emergency clutch / gearbox fund will have to be increased!

    Boot size

    This was one of my main concerns... But bought anyway! If you have stand bags, you can fit 2 sets and shoes etc in the first hole. I don't even have to take my driver and 3 wood out to fit which is not the case with a lot of hatch backs.
  18. I changed mine a few weeks ago, but it didn't seem to make much difference. Should it sound like the gearbox is about drop out when changing into 1st and 2nd? I know that the Zed has a clunky transmission, but it always worries me as it's really loud.
  19. Is it possible the guy / girl bought it new and imported it? Edit: Lol, just read the advert... the comapny director of Nissan owned it before him... so full Nissan Service History!
  20. I must say that I am tempted by one of these, but will probably end up getting the Sammy Tab 2. The lack of expandable memory is a real issue. I have a 16GB iPhone and it isn't enough for my music and apps. At home it wouldn't be a problem as I can stream to it, but if I take it out (Zed cubby), then I'm limited to what I can take... and I can never be bothered moving songs around etc. It's a shame Asus didn't add a slot, but then they would have destroyed the market for their own Transformer... Maybe it'll be worth hacking as I'm sure someone will be trying to exploit the micro USB slot (If not done so already).
  21. It doesn't look like it fits that well in their picture! Check out the right rear arch... Looks like it sticks out a bit.
  22. Only for pinks... And I take the respect if I win!
  23. Not my cup of tea... (I should pretty much have that as my sig when responding to these types of threads) ...but, I'd go matt black (kind of like it was an aero part from a GT car). Shiny will look like it's been stuck on for show and I think Azure would make the bumper look too "busy".
  24. +1 for the Vreds... I have them all round and they've yet to unsettle me, even in the downpours we've had recently. But obviously, 2 Bridgestones will be cheaper than 4 Vreds.
  25. There's a boxster for sale near me in the same colour that's been there for over a year... Not sure what Porsche were thinking?
