  1. so much lol! You'll get a warning point for that one
  2. u wot m8 Family comes first, except for Grundy's wheels, they come firsterer. Is that front or rear wheels though? Fixing the fronts
  3. It's drawback is you need to do a fair bit to counter the cars large weight. Clio's MX-5's, Civics are fairly light cars compared to the 350z, I guess, once it's price is routinely under say 3k it will become more attractive. I use mine as a track car as I have nothing else I can use, I love it, but it's been hard work and has cost me way more than if I used a 3 series BM or an S13/S14 etc

  5. I honestly think dude, you need to sell, then buy another when the time is right. Maybe ask the guy you're selling it to if they'll let you know if they ever sell it. Then you can get it back in a few years? A house and family come before anything. Especially if you have another project on the cards
  6. shuttle rabbit! I designed a logo for it too:
  7. I think you are cheating there somewhat, I assume your 370z cost more than £10k! I'd keep my 350 and spend £1500 on a roll cage, £1000 on suspension improvements, £1000 on wheels (used!) and then the rest on a big V8 if that was the option
  8. ^^^^ Came here to post that, you beat me
  9. Are you fitting all that yourself? MX-5's are like Ikea products Yep, but I've just looked at the cost of an LS3 :scare: I'm now going for a chevvy small block with 290bhp, £2,000 with £1,000 to get it into the bay
  10. MX5, non runner for as little as possible. £400 Small block Chevvy engine - £2000, plus £1000 to get it fitted. Half decent coilovers £600 Decent Roll cage - £1000 bucket seat and harnesses - £600 body kit - £400 BGW - £399 wheels and tyres - £2000 suspension arms/extra lock - £600 Fire extinguishers - £500 cheap respray - £500 ------------------------------------- Total £9999
  11. That's almost my point, since when was a hot hatch worth £40,000?! Hot hatches were the young mans ferrari, they made you the champion of the traffic light grand prix and a hero on the twisties with your friends. They were light, cheap (ish) to run, cheap to buy and a hoot to drive. This is a heavy car made fast, yes it is still fast and I bet it's handling is impeccable, but it's not what a hot hatch was "supposed" to be.
  12. I think that's the main issue Kyle Which is weird, for a car forum expert
  13. A friend of mine has an A45 and it just feels too clinical, it's fast don't get me wrong - with a remap it beats a lot of "faster" things too, it's just too sterile for me. I worked with AMG's for nearly 2 years and you'd be surprised at how much they break too, and the servicing, my god that's a pain in the wallet.
  14. You'd hope so with 4wd though, and for it's price tag of £40,000 I'd want something a bit more "special"
  15. I think the only remaining thing to say is, cheer up buttercup, it'll be ok!
  16. That's ridiculous. The rules are there for the protection of other members. It stops people "selling" things they don't have. If you don't like it, you know where the cross to close the screen is. If you moderate two other forums you should know the importance of keeping members happy. On all the forums I go on you see people posting saying "don't buy from "xyz member" they didn't send the item but I paid them. Never seen it on here once. You're clearly a bit oversensitive on this matter.
  17. Careful what you use it on, it contains silicone which will dry out rubber seals etc Oh really? Hadn't thought of that. I only use it on the paint itself though. Only really use the stuff when I'm giving her a "quick clean" It won't majorly damage anything, just if you use it over the rubber weather strips they could dry out and crack a bit. You'd have to use a lot, for a long while, but it's best to try not to use it on rubber

  19. Look forward to it Although no club can out number the 'Oh look, we're the Scooby club, we've not done anything to our cars, but we consider our selfs massive jap enthusiasts' No offence to scooby owners With stuffed scooby doo toys in the passenger seat, colin mcrae "if in doubt flat out" stickers and matching jackets! Where do they even get all of those jackets from?! Subaru don't even do WRC anymore
  20. Oh nuts, you're right AND the following Saturday!
  21. What's the difference between Nick Clegg and Jesus? It's ok to believe in Jesus *Just noticed I've mentioned Jesus three times in 2 days, I'm not a god botherer, honest! *
  22. I'm broke until payday which is the 1st If you can wait just over a week I'll have it! Just need to find a friend to bring it to Woking. Where are you based exactly?
