  1. Rusty brake discs is not a MOT failure anyway - only a advisory, providing the pass the brake test. Dont worry too much about it.
  2. I reckon the rear of the roadster is a tad on the lardy side - hence the spoiler breaks it up a little. Think "fat chick" n "beer goggles" and you get the idea?
  3. A better pic - give you some idea. "]http://[/url]
  4. It fits over the existing GT spoiler - has indents either side underneath. Not sure what Polish quality is like though - worth a punt at 85 quid? As the roadster doesn't have any GT spoiler, I just had these gaps filled. To be fair though - you probably wouldn't notice if you didn't fill them unless someone pointed it out. Did I mention it suits the roadster well.....but then I may be biased
  5. Mmmm, too cheap. Something dodgy there. Maybe some Nigerians selling it?
  6. Nooooooooo. You'll put the guy of bikes for life! "2013 Rieju RS3 125 NKD 125cc Sports bike not YZF R 125" Yes, "NOT" should be highlighted. Its crap. Yes its has a Yam engine...but that is the best bit. Buy a decent Jap bike....at least you'll be able to sell it before it falls to bits.
  7. Yeebrrrs are decent little learners bikes...muchthe same as CGs. We all start somewhere, but I'd buy something you can flog on easy, once its time to move up. What type of 125 depends on what type of bike youare into....but I reckon also depends on how tall you are. A short arse...something like a CG would be fine (but boring). Plenty too chose from within budget. If your taller, try maybe a trail type ....you wont look as weird!! Something like a Yam WR125 should be easily picked up for well within your budget. If you like sporty looking bikes..then I reckon the best in class is either the little Aprilia RS (out of budget) or the YZF (possibly in budget at a push). Stay away from anything Chinese. They are @*!#. Give them a few years and they will get better - but currently wouldn't look there.
  8. yep the bmw 135i.....ugly as sin, but quick.
  9. RWD, keep the looks the same, 2.0 ltr supercharged / turbo engine (ala 1.4 TSI type fitted to VWs). Waiting for the screams!!!!! Yep, a 2.0 ltr tsi thingy (circa 300hp).....keep costs, emissions down......they'd sell a load of them. Then when the sell a load (say at 35k) - release a flagship versions....with 4 ltr twin turbo power (say around 55k) - or even chuck the 5ltr from the ISF in it.
  10. Definitely not going to happen Oh well..... Seriously though - check that the springs are seated correctly. I had 10mm extra on one side of my Evo after suspension change. My mate had done one side, I did the other.....and the daft bugger hadn't seated the spring correctly. I'm not saying that is the case....but never really heard people complain about ride height on Eibachs - other than its too low and scrapes.
  11. small but open up big....
  12. Just follow the Punto / Corsa teen scrotes....lob 10mm of the spring height with a grinder!!
  13. Cash used to be king .....but is general a pain nowdays. Took 20k in cash for a previous car 300 miles away. Arrived and done deal - then went to give the dealer money. He honestly looked shocked.....stated that cash was not great!!! WTF. Believe its all down to money laundering / drugs sale etc....paper trail for everything these days. My wife actually phoned we when I was on the way down to collect car. "be careful with cash". I was in a McDonalds at the time scoffing grub - money was in glove compartment and I'd left the car open!!! Needless to say I went out and locked the car.
  14. Cats (theres two on DE) simply bolt on / off. But simply can prove a right basterd to do - some of the bolts are hard to get too. FWIW - velocity stack n panel filter - didn't find made any difference. Exhaust / decats - other than noice, can't say I noticed much. Throttle controller - maybe a placebo effect, but car throttle is sharper making it feel a bit quicker. A remap is probably your best bet to increase hp - and at least you'll notice were your cash has gone. But its a never ending circle - to get the best from a remap you'll need exh, filter, spacer etc.....and then you'll want a supercharger!!!!

    New Mustang

    Shame on you.

    Give the guy a break - its not as if he's selling it.....and maybe hasn't had time to wash it. Unlike this: You think he'd have washed it first. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-3-5-V6-GT-Pack/161167857855?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D74%26meid%3D3203719397505036205%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D321267280797%26
  17. Have to agree with Richf - he did some great things in his life (but a few wrong ones early on). One mans terrorist is another freedom fighter??? Good innings though - 95??
  18. Yep - I reckon around the same. Tried the bike and wifes car - and also pretty close.....AND FREE TO USE
  19. Is that on private good condition values? or retail. I actually the retail values are slightly high, while the private values are maybe a tad low (but not by much). Just wondered what other thought.
  20. http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk Any one used this for valuing their Z - or any other car / bike for that matter? Just wondering how accurate it is.
  21. Think the carbon would go well on silver roadster? Is you search you'll find pics of a black roadster with this style rear wing - then you can decide if it suits.
  22. Its on the "to do" list Can you PM the price of these please. Cheers
