I was ready to say no... until I saw the picture! Actually looks really good, quite subtle but quite nice.

edit: oops looks like my vote made it go 50/50 again! haha

Best of luck with the sale - looks like a great car

First of all, im currently running 4x RE050a's and cannot fault them - they've been great in the dry, wet, cold; but obviously I have nothing to compare against, and they're the 2nd most expensive tyre for the zed.

After researching a bit here and around the web, I see...

ekona raves about the Michelin Pilot Super Sports (about the same price as the RE050a's)

Good reviews of the Falken 453s (about £30 cheaper per tyre)

My question was, my old Audi came with Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres which I found very good - I haven't seen many/any reviews of these tyres on the zed, and they come in a bit cheaper than the falkens. Anyone have any opinions on them?

Service Intervals

P1 - 9000, 27000, 45000, 63000, 81000 miles

P2 & P3 - 18000, 36000, 54000, 72000, 90000 miles

P1 is basically standard checks & oil filter and oil change.

P2 is the above + air filter and brake fluid change

P3 is basically a P2

looks amazing!

yeah my effort sucks!

 

good work

Jealous

I do agree that 6000rpm+ the engine does sound like its going to create a black hole - not doubting it doesn't sound amazing until that though

At idle, if you open or close the electric window (or turn the steering wheel) the revs drop by 100-150RPM

As promised here are some pics of the vq35 powered Renault Megane Trophy V6 that I mechanic and pit crew on

Love the look of this!

And congrats on the 350z - any pics of that?

Really like the look of those - not sure how they will look on a 350z though, maybe someone can photoshop?

I'm not aware of anywhere you can get black badges - but would presume it would just be cheaper to respray your own!

This makes me so sad!

 

What road thats on bud as i know your from the Reading area?!

 

Glad to hear your ok!

 

Where the 2 lanes merge into one just before the pub on the left and where the old Ford garage was on the right?

 

He must have hit you with some force!

Know that place well! Scary

Oh wow... And here was me about to ask why you were comparing a 350z and an A3!

That is some serious damage... hope you're okay! Any pictures of how the A3 faired?

Looks great - is that an original colour?

ps - these pictures make me wish I had my own garage!

Interesting - i'm in Kent this weekend might give it a look if I can convince someone to come

Also checked and the 350z isn't mentioned (this may be because people forget the 350z is made by Nissan though...)

haha thanks - I'm feeling a bit jealous looking at the cars they've had in their garage though

MoT is due next month so looking at where to have it done and how much it's likely to cost. My last car was new so have never actually had an MoT before Any recommendations in or around Reading to get your MoT done?

Cheers!

I considered the z4m but a lot of reviews said the ride was ridiculously hard/stiff and didn't cope with UK roads very well - might be worth a test drive (I never got round to it, the 350z pulled me in )

I've never understood why people do this.

What an odd set of events!

And wow at the price of a rear window...

Always loved the XJ220 when I was little

Oh and the Audi Quattro was made until 1991

Yeah the 350z does seem to tram-line a lot - especially compared to my last car! Just makes you hold the steering wheel properly anyway
