Just another note of interest. I have berks and a takeda dual intake fitted which makes the car sound far more appealing but there is now a hesitation during driving which to be fair is only slight. After talking to Mark @ abbey the Only way to sort this unless your happy to live with it is by remapping which if your doing then it makes sense to add the exhaust so in short it's either all or nothing from what I've found.
Think the DE has slightly more usable torque but as I've only ever had the HR I couldn't comment on actual physical difference. You won't be disappointed tho.
I may well be selling mine come next May/June time unless I can come up with a cunning plan of some sort
Hola buenos Dias, ketal?
I'm sitting in a Spanish cafe right now with a lovely cafe con letche.
I know enough to get me by but I've been threatening to do some classes for a while now. You've inspired me!
Brakes are on my to do as I plan a tour next year with the ring included but I don't have £1200 going spare at the minute.
Thing is the brakes on mine are sound but will probably be poor on track.
Looks like they're a good enough deal for someone with a bit of haggling!

Not heard of k tech before but 8 pots with discs and yellow stuff pads for the price seems alright to me!

Sounds like you need one of these. They're great fun, cheap as chips to run & crucially they're tiny.
I think sometimes if there's enough small things about a car you don't like then it puts you off the entire car. I used to have an Audi A3 sportback which I hated even though some of it was very good there were enough small things about it which Meade me hate the whole car if that makes sense!
Shame you have to sell but needs must. Holding onto mine till next may at the earliest when i know ill have to seriously consider selling her
GLWTS im sure she'll sell on here soon enough
Like those. To me it would be pretty obvious that they aren't likely to be real carbon wheels unless the owner was minted in which case he'd probably have a much more expensive car. Don't see any difference in choosing a paint colour over carbon dipped wheels unless the owner was trying to pass them off as real!
Fully kitted skoda fabia VRS? Yes it has a slightly dull interior but its basically an A1 underneath. Or what about polo gti with dsg? Big, well screwed together, comfortable, shuttle styling, nips on.....
Mother had a 56 plate cooper which she loved. Early model had some coolant loss issues which could have been cracked expansion tank or leaking thermostat which were both common and I think the coolant pumps were soft too.
My mother now has a 61 plate cooper s which she likes but not as much as her old one. I'd have to agree the mk1 is more fun but there's not that much in it. New model had a recal for a coolant thermostat retrofit.
Word of warning tho. MAke sure your daughter is happy with selecting reverse if its a newer car as there is a heavy spring to overcome to select it which is overkill IMO. My mother hates it and now walks lop sided with the shoulder muscles she's developed on her left side!
Oh and tyre pressure sensors are common on both.
Just a quick one. Your nismo intakes, are the stealers actually offering any more with them on? Theyre definitely worth more than the standard boxes on here and I doubt the stealers would even notice they were gone!
Great replacement and a great price for the 370z. Always fancied an M5 touring but bottled it due to running costs. Also ended up buying two cars with one being the 350z after my daughter was born so probably would have been more cost effective with the M5!
Good luck with fatherhood. Ours is just over 4 months now. It's the best feeling in the world!
