  1. Hideous, why anyone would want "farbon" on nice cars is beyond me, it looks nothing like carbon and screams, i want carbon but cant afford it, should be reserved for saxos and barrow boy cars! Imho of course!
  2. I wasnt sure if it was you i saw some hazards and pointing out the window and thought, whats that van warning me of, lol
  3. Insurance is fractions more if at all, hardly worth worrying about. So much talk on here about jdms being difficult to shift, yet every week (almost) someone asks about buying a jdm (two this week inc yours), check the classifieds for what have sold and what havent, you can do an advanced search on ebay to see what has actually sold and for how much, advanced on search options to left of ebay search bar. Stereo, most people replace the Bose for double din so that renders the sat nav point mute. The only thing i would ever be wanting is Brembos (which you can get on some jdm), dont be put off by jdms, buy the car which is in the best condition and suits your requirements best for the money you have, you will have no trouble selling a jdm
  4. I have a set of Ichiba silenced decats coming up very soon The very ones bought from Blacky. http://www.350z-uk.c...dam-at-z1-sold/
  5. I so nearly bought something retro before the zed, rx3 or hakosuka rep but decided however nice to look at and perhaps go, without spending vast money it would be an old car with rattles, poor suspension, brakes and handling, but something new that looks retro really appeals, i think that Nismo version looks awesome
  6. A possible GT86 rival, looks awesome in Nismo guise http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=CA&Date=20131120&Category=TOKYO_AUTO_SHOW&ArtNo=112009993&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=6&Profile=1278#axzz2lNVbtmow
  7. I think there is a little too much big brother is watching you going on here, how does the insurer know your username and more so what forums you use, unless they have specifically asked for it at the time you took out insurance? Could anyone on here tell me the difference between a jdm map and uk map for example?
  8. I find the abusive know all buyers quite amusing, i usually get the, whats your lowest you will take, give it to them and then you get, i can buy "whatever your selling for "x" £'s ", simply response, well stop wasting my time and yours and go and buy it then, or if you really want to play with them, just ask them to provide a link and if they do they can have it for the same price, never once got a link back. My absolute bug bear though is, what will you take for CASH, the reply how else do you want to pay bottle tops usually results in an angry comment or two! I am not a shop or dealer and nor do i pay VAT so whats with the whole CASH thing, like its some sort of unique bargaining tool!!!
  9. Whilst it makes every sense to let the insurance company know i would like to bet there isnt one insurance company who owns uprev software let alone the staff to tell if the map has been altered from standard (no offence to insurance companies or their staff intended) What about the 100's or possibly 1000's of Zeds out there that may have already been mapped and bought 2nd hand without the new owner being told, i have no idea if mine has!
  10. So long as it has Brembos is all that would concern me, I am not personally fussed about leather and for the amount of time I would use cruise control I can live without it, as others as have mentioned it comes down to condition & price.
  11. One of my rx7's did 20k running anywhere from 450 to 501 hp pending on boost since day one of a rebuild costing £2.5k inc engine out and back in, the only reason it died was water seals Steve Rivett is a quality builder, no one should have any concerns on this car
  12. An owner on the rx7 forums is a trimmer buddy, never used him but he comes highly recommended from there: http://www.edgeautomotive.co.uk/
  13. Remember this for sale, was it Nathaptons (scotland way) or something like that? T51 should be good for a fair bit over 500 hp with some decent boost
  14. This is my concern, i thought it peaked at modern warfare 2.
  15. Sorry my post wasnt worded that well, i was more trying to say does Vettel find it boring to win by such a margin and not even have someone make even a small challenge towards him, someone to have a race with, more so over the last few races. Or as you say does he reveal in consistent and fastest lap times. Maybe he would like a race with someone, whilst i am sure he is not concerned by booing crowds etc i am more than sure he is aware of peoples views on his achievements and perhaps would relish a challenge and then still coming out on top to make his critics eat their words? Same sort of view a lot of people had on Seb Loeb, he was in the best car etc etc Strangely enough during my years of watching any form of domination in motorsport, the only person i can think of that the general masses warmed to is Rossi. I know no where near the same level obviously but if ever during any brief competitive motorsport i have done, its far more fun if you have someone to race against and beat, if your ever had the lead by any margin it always seemed less enjoyable, hollow even.
  16. I recently played The Last of Us, good game and great story, but did find it a little samey, levels, tasks, enemies etc
  17. Hardly a race anymore, I wouldnt even mind seeing Vettel win if he had at least had to "beat" someone. Genuine question, do you think Vettel would find it boring?
  18. Really tempted by ghosts but am getting a little bored of the same old same old with cod, anyone suggest thats it has some decent additions to the norm that make it worth buying? Battlefield 4 is supposed to be very good. I am more a campaign person that online so could anyone recommend the above 2? The Far Cry series have been my favourites, Far Cry 3 is just awesome imho, i really enjoy the fact you can pretty much go anywhere and are not restricted by a small map and boundaries. There is so much do to besides the main game story.
  19. Absolutely, just pointing out that it may be a very ironic opinion and asking amt a question, sure he can talk for himself
  20. The subject is legality and i am sure there is no one on this forum that is whiter than white when it comes to their cars or their driving
  21. How is it irrelevant, its a motoring offence, no different to illegal plates, tints, loud exhaust etc etc I am making no assumptions that because someone drives a fast car they religiously must drive fast but nor do I believe 100% of the popultion strictly adhere exactly to any given speed limit, particularly people on a performance car forum.
  22. I am guessing you never stray over the speed limit then?
  23. Seen these on driftworks, it does make me chuckle the whole, not interested in hearing what you think they are worth etc, i want £2500, a few days later, a grand off! Nice wheels but really dont fit much without extensive arch work
  24. I think I am right in saying its less of a fine to not display a front number plate than intentionally display one with incorrect spacing, size or font etc I havent had one on for 6 months on my z and 3 years on my 7, s and driven past quite a few police, its in the car should I get stopped as it has just fallen off officer and I am on my way to get some fixings never been stopped though. All depends on how bored the particular officers are and if you have given them any other reason to pull you imho.
