I can't believe its actually out and about! Awesome scenes, awesome build, awesome non-sleeping skills and awesome commitment and awesomeballz for getting it out there too with it all coming together so late on! Looks like a tremendous team effort that you've led. You must be hugely proud at getting this [very nearly] done. Congratz and good luck!

I had such an exciting blend of fun and sheer terror on my two track days in the Zed. I couldn't quite shake the feeling that a small fail or a split second poor decision could see her written off. Each to their own but both days I went insured, otherwise it would have beed just terror and no fun at all . For a £100 with no excess it wasn't even a decision. If I went down the casino and they offered me the chance to bet £6k to win £100 I wouldn't even entertain those odds, certainly not as my Zed means more to me than the amount it would cost to replace. Even with the insurance I never felt fully relaxed and certainly not as brave as when I strap a kart to my @ss. Consequently, the Zed won't see any more track, to relax and learn I want something where I'll be going slower if it all goes wrong and that I could chalk up to experience if it ended up being recovered off to a scrappy.

And now it is! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Auto-Finesse-DES200-Desire-Car/dp/B007FR4PQQ/ Must... Resist... Could... not... resist...

along, I beat a path from Clio to Zed. You won't be disappointed. At the risk of sounding like an old man, be a bit gentle at first!

Interesting read in parts, some of the "you only get 20 mpg" stuff baffles me on a big NA machine, what do people expect? I personally think they look sensational and if I can get away with 2 seats at the next purchase I'll be proceeding directly to 70, with a possible sniff around a Cayman on the way, unless the 2015 UK Mustang is particularly interesting in the flesh...

I'm rea I'm really tempted by ARB upgrades, but fear her being too stiff and somewhat skittish, no problems at all? I like the OEM ride, but I don't like the degree of roll permitted. How does it behave near the edge, is breakaway still progressive or much less forgiving?

Like these and I scratched a nismo on a gate post the other day. Do they encroach any further round the bumper than the nismos? They can't interefe with my diffuser. Also do they go straight (ish) on or is there further moding required to get them to fit the Zed?

Love the easy power/torque and going quite quickly without working too hard. Hated the Bose for all 3 days it was in, adding a new headunit also cures squeaks and rattles.

P1, it's an emotive thing, not a reason thing.

There's so many at that price point so it's hard to recommend a model, but on the processor side, the higher the number next to the "i" the better. i3 < i5 < i7. If you intend on playing FM or then I'd suggest an i3 is the bare minimum so as to not have to put up with really long waits in between clicks. At £300 I'd be very tempted to go for something that's refurbished, as it will help your bang for buck on the specs, both PC world and apple have refurb sections (so long as you don't mind refurbed and you get the usual warranty etc).

Love a carrier, saw a little old 'un in San Diego (Midway?) and had so much fun looking round it and meeting the old timers who used to drive it (stop me if I get too nautical ) What an awesome project to be working on. PS I'd suggest gettting one of those ebay special reverse cams to start with

Well I know what I'm ordering next, nice work, as always. Reading your excellent and considerably more scientific reviews than others (i.e. me) got me thinking about making a list of the detailing jobs and my preferred products for each, a budget alternative, and things to try next. There's so much out there you can't try everything yourself (well I can't) so it'd be a handy list.

Nice work, thanks for sharing It'd be nice if each product came with an "ilogikal1 OCD Quality Rating". 1 being "I like my cupboards to be organised" 5 being "I'll be up to bed honey when I've unlocked and locked this door another 73 times"

along, looks an interesting project and one yo watch. Good luck with it.

Nice one. Always like to try something new when a product runs out

What have you got against Rim Wax? It's the first dedicated wheel wax I bought and it's running out...

Tremendous work raising that kind of money, specially for a proper charity, not some sponsor a goat in Timbuktu job.

What cash? Even if there was any cash, surely that was just to stop you calling the fedz after he tried to leave the scene of an accident?

Had another play with this today, but used half as much, same level of foamyness, same level of cleaning power. Going half again as much next week @ 5% dilution, in lance bottle

Only happened in the test drive, had a big coat on. Coat off, solved.

I've done this, albeit without the very back of the shed and knackered back bits. Sometimes you eat the bear and, well, sometimes he eats you.
