Criteria got changed to 100 'quality' posts and 6 months membership mate to stop people signing up, posting 50 posts of crap and naffing off.

 

Read http://www.419eater.com or my '419 scams explained' thread on here.

could it not be "100 quality post OR 6 months ??"

i look on ebay all the time, currently at transit tippers, every now and again you see one, its allways about £3000 under what it shoul be , and lo and behold its someone who says

"email me for more pictures" they then contact you via email and its the same old scam, you pay into an account and then they release the vehicle.

why do ebay not spot them ??

ive had them on fiat 500 , and minis my wife was buying , hi lux, L200 pick ups , they must literally be on evry type of car, and they just hack someones account.

soon as you say "this stinks , i will pay cash ," thats it they vanish !!!!

sadly due to not being used i am trying to sell my Zed,

i have it on piston heads, and e-bay

jesus christ, if i get another offer from a merchant seaman, or a broker from out of the country , offering to pay by transaxbankcoderubbermoneyo, and collect the car unseen i will go mental.

where do all these scammers come from, ive also had dealers offering to sell it for this and promise that !!!!!!

its a genuine car and i am a genuine seller , so why do these nunpties keep trying.

anyway, i want to advertise it here, but it states a 100 post count, but somewhere i thought it said 50 ???

any help please?

Ive been running a K1 since April time, and im sure my baffles are shot. Ive not taken the bungs out yet, but the noise it makes with them in is incredibly loud. At 2000rpm which is about 60 or 70mph cruising you can feel your brain rattling. When I first fitted it, I used to get headaches, but now its made me a bit deaf so im used to it. It still makes the missus feel sick however. I measured the in cabin noise using an app on my phone (okay, so I doubt if its 100% accurate), and it was coming in at 110db max on my drive home. Bare in mind ive a roadster, so there isnt as much sound proofing with the roof down.

 

The funniest thing happened this week though. I was driving along and overtook this car. This other car then followed me for about 8->10 miles trying to catch up with me. When we finally stopped at some traffic lights the guy wound his window down and told me my car sounded amazing, best thing he`d ever heard! He`d followed me for all that distance just to tell me!

 

Im always getting people nearly breaking their neck turning around to see what car im driving when they hear it.

brilliant

the orange piping looks mint

you can have mine for £10 k

do a search in the gallery,

youll be glad you did viewtopic.php?f=11&t=60095&start=0

ive done loads of them , not since ive owned the z mind.

ive done them in all the cars, inc my last evo and fq400

i got so addicted i went and bought a 205 gti , and pound for pound ive never had so much fun, when your in your pride and joy your always mindful of the value ,

go for it, take plenty of fuel, and tyres and enjoy !!

look for javelin track days, they organise them and are really helpful.

stunning

cheers for replies, he only put the spacers on outside to try it, hes a mate.

i will look at what youve said guys

thanks

ive had the 19 inch volks on for a while now, fitted with a 15mm spacer, problem is the wobble

i had them balanced and no difference,so i assumed the garage hadnt done it right

ive been really busy so i only got round the other day to getting them done again.

this time he spenet ages and to test a theory he put weights on the outside too

any way its not much better, ?????

anyone else had the problem ?

i am going to try with the old rays on , but if anyones got any suggestions i would be grateful.

sadly i have no idea whatsoever of the offsett, i will try find out.

the garage who did the re spray are in Keighley Yorkshire,

and i would guess he would do you a deal if you wanted.

give them a bell, ask for shaun, tell him riddy recomended you.

cheers guys

the re spray was £900 cash, i know the sprayer so it was a mates rate.

its immaculate, i have studied every millimetre .

the ride is firm with the 30 mm drop and i do have to watch it over speed bumps etc,

but its worth it.

i have a white and black momo steering wheel, but i have had to bore the boss out hence why its not fitted yet.

more pics when it is.

when i bought the z i knew it neede a front re spray as there were a lot of motorway stone chips.

once we got it into the spray booth it showed up some poor paint on almost every area. also having lowered it 30mm and fitted the 19 inch volks i wanted the rear arches rolled too.

hence full re spray

once back together, i then canuba waxed the whole car and , bobs yer uncle.

i have also put a new leather gaitor on the gear on handbrake, ive now fitted a momo knob , but havent got a picture yet

cheers guys

:

do they accept one wheel couriered to them ?

i bought the wheels second hand of here, i spent 4 hours polishing them up before i put them on , i coated each wheels with nanolex.

Can't offer any advice but I feel your pain buddy.

i very nearly wept

gutted , like a fish.

didnt see the b@5t4rd jutt out and ive scuffed an otherwise mint front rim, there 2 peice volks with the polished rim

is there a

a) cheap way of mending it

any way of mending it.

its not ravaged just a 8 inch long rash

if you interested i dont want a fortune for my old seats ?

ive just swapped my black leather ones for some custom stitched ones

they new ones are from a hard top, they fit

but

the electric now only operates the slide forwrd , the rear seat back tilt is now manual.

hope that makes sense

other than that, they fit from one car to the other ,

the airbag light is now on ? but i think thats a problem with the new seat not switching them .

no

it looked sh1te with one non gold one

i knew a lad recently had his wheels nicked, and they just smashed his lock nut of.

if they want em, they will have em.

the nuts sre of ebay

tips

i aint tight but i do not like over spending. many will mod a car by spending thousands, buy all the bits and stick em on.

i like to do things simply and subtley, i buy second hand where i can, the wheels for example.

im not into body kits or spoliers, a clean car will look better than a dirty one too.

i have bought a £20 gear nob not an £80 one etc etc

the seats for example, were £550 delivered, if i had to i would get £300 for the old ones, hence the mod has cost me £250.00

Photos getting better all the time, just need to get rid of the dustbin in the background

dustbin?

thats my daughter

i was a little unsure of the Gold nuts, but i thought black or silver was boring and i hoped the gold would match the calipers.

thoughts

possibly not everyones taste,

i would have prefered to lose the red z , but they add something to an otherwise very dark interior.

gear knob , handbrake, and gaitors next

japsped without the baffle

ive taken about 20 pics , and ive gone to load them onto the photobucket , and i thougt i would use the bulk uploader.

now i cant upload any

red wine time and bed.

the japspeed,

f#ckin hell its loud, but as its a 3.5 its not boy racerish (ok it is a bit ) but im 46 so im claiming mid life crisis seriously its an awesome sound.

seats are in , Pics later,

and the handbrake/gear nob/gaitors and handles are on the way, the front all ready has a nismo bumper and carbon splitter, and its got carbon mirror covers.

ive taken of the bronze Z badges, black polished ones ordered.

thats about £3000 of mods on a car i wasnt gonna spend any dosh on.

well thats what i told the wife .
