  1. I was getting a pair of rear Falken 452's on the rear for under £140 and this was on the OEM 17's (much better wheel than the OEM 16's) so I don't consider that expensive at all. The fronts will last two sets, even more, of rears. Due to the significant lack of torque compared to the Nissan, the tyres will last you longer and cost you less - generally.
  2. Probably the two biggest money eaters on old S2000's are the roof and the geo bushes. The roof is expensive to replace/fix, so always check for wear marks on the side where the roof mechanics hinge, this is the common area for wear and holes to develop. The bushes are famous for seizing. Which can result in very expensive labour bills to repair. Once these seize any sort of geometry work is impossible, so ask questions about when it was last checked and greased. It's not age related either. You could have a '99 car and the bushes will move or a '07 car and all eight are solid. If you do take a punt on a older cheaper car that has no history of the bushes being looked at get it booked in with someone that know what they are doing, preferably a Honda specialist as they will be well prepared for what may be likely. Once checked, get some new bushes in there (OEM are fine) and plenty of grease and you will be a happy chappy.
  3. They are the only Vossen wheels I've ssen that are good looking, because they look like BBS.
  4. So your having the whole wheel re-done as opposed to repaired ?? How bad is/were the ding's ?? What cost ??
  5. My Xbox will no longer play Battlefield 4 or Mass Effect 3. Discs are perfect. They stopped paying about a year ago. All other games (so far) fine. GTA works fine (so far). Stupid bloody things.
  6. Yeah, I've lost a few 911T's (Blister Comet's) from this .

    Boom, in one !! When in reality, it's only special really because Nissan didn't sell many of them .
  9. When I bought mine from Tesco the shelves had been wiped out but there was a sign saying ask at the electronics counter. That was release day.
  10. Has anyone here removed their rear wiper from their 370Z ?? I know it was a popular thing on the 350Z but I'd be interested to hear anyone's experiences with the 370Z. It's nuts as the American's order and fit them to theirs as they didn't get them but ourselves and the JDM lot did. I'm not a fan and think that it breaks the natural flow of the rear of the car, I'll get some Rain-X and a grommet I think.
  11. Oh yeah man, it takes nothing away from the car or it's ethos, it's just it's an original Nismo car, you'd think it would have the Nismo bits.
  12. yeah, I suppose you could look at it like that. It's a shame really, you'd expect Nissan/Nismo to have included little pieces like that - well, I would anyway.
  13. It'll be getting louder too as it gets carbon'd up . What's the gear knob on this mate ?? I'd expect it to be Nismo, but like the rad and oil cap's, I doubt it is .
  14. We all tend to move in small circles man . Try and remember your user name.
  15. Yes mate, I was a Moderator on there for a few years .
  16. I drove to the Ring twice in my S2000, both times I felt like I'd snapped. Drove to the Ring in my 370Z in the summer and it was like........

    One bloke argued with me that it was boosted the other month.
  18. Cool man, really interesting car this. As said leave the ambers they suit the style. Try and get some early OEM alloys for it, that will look awesome .
  19. Fo the extra you might pay on buying a car with one will long out weigh the cost of getting one separate, also, if you feel that way after a while, sell it. You only really want to switch the roof and canvas once a year so I don't see that as a problem. Storing it, might be, as it's an awkward beast.
  20. Brilliant isn't it, the look on Trevor's face is gold . I'm afraid I can't claim ownership to this marvel though , I spotted it elsewhere and thought I'd post here to share it with you guys.
