Epic!! Very clever.

Used to drive the Zed to Filton from Bath most days. Over the period of two years I only managed to get one wave from a fellow Zed owner.....Harryjax. Didn't see many around. Seems like a few more have popped up recently, although rarely venture out that way now.

Wow the clarity of this photo is impressive! Nice photo

1. How far you drive per day on average as part of your job - Six mile round trip. 2. What do you drive, what do you do - Smart Car; architect (part two). 3. Best bit of about driving - Smooth winding roads (in the 350) or the funny looks I get when I step out of the smart car (rather cosy). 4. Worst bits - Parking zones and traffic. 5. Do you have admin to complete with your job - Yes. 6. How many times do you fill up per week - Smart Car; once every three. In 18 months of ownership I have never filled the 350 up as it then sits too low 7. Where else do you stop off during the day apart from a petrol station - I don't. 8. Do you use the same place - Yes 9. Is filling up a pain - No? 10. What is the biggest pain about filling up - Queuing/Wasting time, unfortunately I live life by the clock. 11. Do you use BP, and if so what makes you come back - No. 12. What would make you use BP more - Proximity to the workplace. 13. What petrol station brand do you use most - Esso.

Enjoyed the read, hats off to the both of you

A worthy winner, lovely car Ian

I wouldn't want to drive it now in fear of scratching it; plus it will get dirty

Gorgeous...just gorgeous!!

Cheers Octet. At some point I will be fitting a new clutch and flywheel and thought I would use that as an opportunity to upgrade the rest of the exhaust, manifolds are the only element remaining. I have no idea what state mine are in. Labour costs aren't an issue as the old man is a grease monkey and I will use his garage. Although outright expenditure will be. I will have a read about 370 headers, didn't realise that mod was compatable. Thanks

350z DE. I am pretty certain that you sold a set Octet? So the big question; ceramic or SS and which ones are you not supposed to wrap?

Oh wow much cheaper then

I am sure many of you on here have imported parts from the US, especially the professional traders. In layman's terms how are the import fees calculated and is it much cheaper purchasing offshore? Surely it cant be as we all would be doing so. Ok I will stop beating around the bush; I would like some DC Sports headers Thanks

£280 isn't that bad really, i suppose the extra cost will be incurred at the bodyshop. Could be a temporary fix, but the bonnet is on the cards. Thanks for your help

Thanks for your response Alex; something like these? http://bit.ly/1rQ3KRw Concerned the bonnet would be completely out of line with the top of the wing.

Tonight I noticed that my shiney strut brace has a slight mark on it where it is possibly fouling the underside of the bonnet. I have always wanted a facelift bonnet and presume this would resolve the issue. Where can I buy one and do we know for how much? Could bonnet spacers be an interim remedy? Has anybody fitted them on their beast? Could look pants though as the bonnet would be foreseeably higher? Or I could try to reduce the strut spacers installed as part of the H-Dev plenum spacer kit. Hmmm.....options

Cool hoses! How come they pull so much money? Is it because of the brand, Samco? I am in the market for some, just curious as I am comparing to another set that are for sale. Thanks

Yes we have lots of the stuff at the garage, allows me to stick the plate to the inside of the windscreen.

Thanks; the old girl just needs a Mines front lip and a bulge bonnet.

Oh these have come up at the wrong time!

Car flew through the MOT yesterday Mod of the day; the number plate fell off again

Looks great Buster!

Nice work Dan, it sounds like you have it all planned out, a clear symptom of Zeditus. The bay is coming along nicely and as for that exhaust....bloody lovely! Keep up the good work

Nice gesture

Cheers Steve, every little addition makes a difference from now on. Finding it extremely hard to resist spending money. A few weeks away from the forum would work wonders for my account!
