  1. £45k? Supercharge an M6 700bhp easy and you'll still have £10k left over
  2. That's a very good question. On the face of it, I wouldn't have thought that the visible part of the facelift couldn't have added more than a few kg's. Rays came as standard from 06 onwards so maybe a few kilos there? So you have to presume that they did a lot of undocumented changes such as beefing up the chassis. The HR is pretty much the same weight as the 06 facelift BTW. I've got the weights from various sources and presume they are correct. So, it's a bit of a mystery. Pete I'm still puzzled as to the 70kg, but Various sources agree with you. The Rays would lower the weight by probably 15kg over the 4 wheels and the visible changed would surely add next to nothing, under a kilo IMO as the bumper is just a slightly different shape and so the the centre console, no ore and no less plastic, just a different shape I wasn't aware of the chassis adjustments, but surely they couldn't have added 70kg extra metal? It would be interesting to get a 2004 and 2006 and weigh them side by side to see.
  3. Did you provide them with all the receipts of the materials you used for the servicing? Because thats history too. Just because theres no stamp doesn't mean theres no history.
  4. I'd say it's more autopilot advertising than stamping up a book. Most likely the person putting it up just assumed it had FSH.

    Just...yes

    Chrysler Viper, no such car
  6. Yup, 06 cars have the De RevUp engine with produces 20BHP more than the 03-05 cars. There are slight exceptions such as late registered cars and the GT4 limited edition model in 05 with has the old exterior and interior, but the 06 RevUp engine. The RevUp and HR both have the same interior and exterior (except bonnet bulge to accommodate taller HR engine), the only difference is the engine. If I ever get back into a 350, it'll 100% be an HR. The interior differences are subtle and some may not notice, but the centre console and doorcards are different and IMO better. The exterior differences include all for lights (much better looking than the DE's and worth the premium on their own) and the front bumper in mildly different, plus the bonnet on the HR as previously mentioned.

    Service catch-up

    Just bring it to an indy mechanism somewhere and get all fluids and spark plugs changed if you're not sure where it stands. So thats, Engine oil and filter, air filter, brake and clutch fluid, coolant, gearbox oil and differential oil. It'll be pricey, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
  8. Don't worry about the engine, but the updated interior and exterior is well worth it IMO.
  9. The Z4MC is a stunning machine, much prettier than the 70 and will keep its money better too.
  10. Sent an email asking the question so will let you know as soon as he gets back to me Brembo's are Brembo's, so same as UK spec
  11. I think I know which trader(s) it is and they should be ashamed of themselves. This is a community for Zed enthusiasts who help eachother out and sometimes save eachother some money through advice or group buys. This was one of those occasions cutting out the middleman would be beneficial and the middleman threw the toys out of the pram. One thing some traders need to remember is that this place is for the owners, the enthusiasts, not them.
  12. Nope, looks fine.
  13. I think 19's look better, however if they are very heavy and dulling performance there's no point putting £800 of rubber on them when you can put £600 of rubber on wheel half the weight and benefit 2 fold in performance.
  14. Can you not tap into the sidelight?
  15. I'm no expert but I think you're in the wrong place. The wires in the mesh will be a very high voltage on startup and will probably fry the DRLs.
  16. Someone tried this with Hel lines and it got cancelled due to one or more traders complaining to Hel about it. Hopefully the same won't happen here because this it a great deal!
  17. I have no idea, but D2S are required for the 2006+ facelift bixenon headlamps, D2R for the early Xenon one.
  18. H7 is the full beam bulb, D2R is the HID Xenon bulb for main beam which is located behind the projector lens.

    Wiper Blades

    Apparently Bosch aren't as good as they used to be, Valeo appear to be a better wiper at the moment.
  20. Looks well, mate, just need some spacers so sit the wheels out a bit
  21. Absolutely, but that is worlds away from offering opinion on values, discussion about the item, especially when opinions on value can differ so drastically and your right, it is a great community, but as before, if your looking out for a fellow member and feel they have over priced their item, it doesnt need to be pubically discussed, a pm wil do. To be fair, if a member cant work out their item for sale isnt shifting because of price, telling them isnt going to make much difference anyway, but on the particular add in question the comments were posted within 12 hours and that was overnight and to add insult to injury he was then questioned as to why he had 2 cars for sale There were even comments about do you want to sell some parts, which again I had when selling my car, its not a breaking add either. Speaking all from very bitter experience of a good car sliding into the wrong price bracket and its the start of that slippery slope. And what? Are people not allowed to ask questions or make suggestions? It's pretty rare for a member to have 2 zeds and therefore the question was asked, I'm 100% certain no malice was meant by it. As for asking if they would consider selling some parts, what wrong with that? Everyone knows you'd get more if you strip the car back to standard and sell the mods, nothing wrong with asking about it.
  22. £6,500 is probably spot on, but since he's a mate, get a few quid off
  23. Thats a late reg car, nothing wrong with that, however you'll be paying £500 a year tax and not getting the RevUp engine or cosmetic changes/upgrades.
