  1. 43% increase in sales and still loosing money, yep, thats definitely the future No ones angry about ev's, just dont believe the Elon Musk hype and hang on is every word and what do you expect on a ice forum?
  2. Thats not really natural camber then, as lmc says, I would get it bought back in spec, that will push the top edge out
  3. Believe Docwra might be better versed as seen he has recommended them before.
  4. Ten years , there is enough oil left in the ground to last to 2050 (known deposits). Its all been discussed before anyway, as per post number 2. If it fits the bill, fill your boots with ev's
  5. So not bias at all then oi you! haha I'm not sure you can compare an R32 or a VXR of any kind with a Leaf. I wouldnt say Bias no. I woud say ifg they were @*!#. no need to lie on here but when it comes to the other guys racing down the road and having to put £20 petrol in their car and theres me just poping home and spending about £1 on electric, i do laugh. Depends what you want from an electric car in many ways. Theres alot of proof that the Nissan Leaf is one of the best for the buck And when you consider the boys in their vxr or r33 wont loose a penny on depreciation it probably levels it all out. I will say, they have their place though and they suit a particular requirement, if your driving meets those requirements i see no downsides, but to me, i couldnt find one upside. One thing never really mentioned because they are relatively new, what will the costs be when they start going wrong.
  6. Only reason i ticked engine map is because of supercharger, otherwise i would just invest the money in a track day and tyres
  7. You will have cheered someone up though, i would imagine they are getting the wet wipes out as we speak
  8. [quote name='andy118' timestamp='1455738401' post='1587705'] I am running natural camber dude, I haven't got any adjusters and wasn't intending on getting any. [/quote] There is loads of cambers on those rears in your photo, when did you have an alignment done and what was the camber reading?
  9. I ticked pretty much everything apart from: extreme weight loss, because its just not possible in my opinion, i would actually love to know what you can get a 350 down to. and of course, lambo doors and neons
  10. Hence why the op is asking what members are paying for their supercharged zeds

    lambo doors

    Very diplomatic answer G what he is actually saying is, the majority think it looks gash, hence why there are probably only a handful that have done it.
  13. About the same as Andy on cost, but I am with Reis and have 3 trackdays in the package, also old though at 45

    Dead Zed

    I have read they are forged, but dont think they will be as strong as an aftermarket forged unit. So if it is just shells, stroke it out to 3.8 with a forged crank http://www.briancrower.com/makes/nissan/vq35de_cranks.shtml

    Dead Zed

    I wouldnt be put off by another vq, especially seeing as on the whole is been very reliable for you, what we talking 45k-50k boosted, thats pretty impressive i would say thats far more reliable than a big hp rb26. If your looking for something a little more again to keep the interest, why not stroke it? Hopefully its just the big ends Did you have a forged crank by the way?
  17. [quote name='james6583' timestamp='1455724007' post='1587537'] I was just worried that the minimum size of 245 would be stretched [/quote] It will be and so will a 275 on a 10.5, if you dont want stretch buy 8.5 and 9.5
  18. I look upside down, so looks fine to me
  19. Mine had the same as above when i bought it. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/99591-new-edition/

    Ford Focus RS

    [quote name='rabbitstew' timestamp='1455712597' post='1587464'] Surely with demand so high, depreciation of both cars wouldnt be much over the first 12 months? Or are Ford going to just flood the market with millions of them? [/quote] G man posted up the other day that there are some kicking around for sale at list price at Ford dealers (one for sale at a dealer he visited), so you can buy one tomorrow. I am guessing lots of people speculated these would be fetching high premiums and they are not, so better to loose the £1000 deposit than however much on depreciation. Think the Focus maybe a different story with the RS heritage.
  21. I have no idea why the insurance write off database cant be expanded some what to include the write off report, it would make it so much more transparent. I appreciate the details are included in this instance, but it does leave people feeling very suspicious. When i was buying imports from the docks it was around 180 minimum, was hoping when it hit 179 things might get moving again.
  22. Its a shame the exchange rate with Japan is so volatile or we might have started seeing a more steady stream of imports, late last year it was 179 yen to the £, its back down to 160 now, makes quite a difference when your talking a few million yen to buy a r35.
  23. If you can buy the vents, just cut and mould them in
