Still looking for a new exhaust from y pipe to back box?
Any news on yours?
Thx
-
I think
Boxter.....just looks @*!#... But goes well
Beetle .... Daughter has one....crap car all over.... She loves it....
BMW and audis...look like sheep... But they are good to drive
Toyota rav 4 ... Looks like a Mexican... Makes me feel sick to look at it
Toyota corolla... I'm next to one and it looks crap.
Oh I hate old rounded sierras and cavaliers with gaffer tape on the bumper, cos you know some fat beer gutted basted who hasn't seen his dick in 20 years is gonna get out with fag in mouth and all types of @*!# paper on his dash board, you wonder how tf it gets an mot.
Most cars these days look boring so not to **** of other drivers into road rage!!
Most BMW look same but thus one is cool

Thanks, I'll give it a miss and wait for a used one to come up.

Finally got my zed back from the repair garage last night, they done a great job on the car at a great price.
It was soo nice to take it out for a ride today and "enter the zed world".
Had a good look underneath thr car and noticed some problems with the exhaust, perhaps someone could tell me if I need a new one, theres 2 holes on both sides of the car in the same place just behind front wheels, can't feel any gases coming out from them when car idles?
My guess is I may need a whole new system sooner or later? Any ideas would be helpful.
-
Lol, I keep seeing one on the road, looks awsome, always forget the hidden costs, but would be nice to have one for a few months just to experience it, I was thinking get one at a trade price then you won't loose too much once you have given it a good thrashing!!!

Sounds ok, but would the car be properly checked before its bought?
Like mechanical and electrics, the last thing you want is a dog of car turning up which then needs a new turbo, clutch and whatever else could be unnoticed?
If importing a car worked out a lot less in costs I can see the gamble, other than that it would only be worth doing for something you can't get here.
Would love to get a gtr, can't Get one here as they are 30k plus

You were sitting in slow moving traffic coming down the hill through finchley, you picked the better lane.

Nice. Always liked them.
Is Jurgen importing it for you?
Who's jurgen, wouldn't mind finding out how to go about finding a similar car to import, how does it work from seeing to receiving

Get some good paint compounding paste and it'll help to remove the orange peel on the paint. It would have also been good to use a finishing filler mix which is very fine and you apply a thin layer over the original filler and then give it a quite fine sand down, before going onto painting. Good attempt though
Is it to late to compound the peel once the clear coat is on?
I'm going to use a professional polish tomorrow, it's quite abrasive so should get it looking a bit better.
Thank you for all the advice!!
-
Looks nice, how did you find this?
Is it a Japanese car dealer?
What sort of money do they go for?
I've always liked the turbo supra.

8am you came off nth circ and went north on hendon way, looks like you were runnin late, nice nismo plate !!

Ok spent most of the day finishing off the work started, for a first attempt at bodywork I'm not disappointed, however I can see there is a lot of uneven bits which does make it a very amateur repair.
I've learnt a lot from doing these three jobs, especially how important getting the filler on correctly "or not in my case " also I found that priming was very helpful also kept rubbing it down to fill the fine aero holes that I had from the filler I guess I must have mixed in air to it?
Can't wait for the next job, here's some pics, you can see the aero and also the orange peel effect, but I still need to either polish it down or compound it , not really sure how to tackle this, thanks for looking!!!
-
Yes another bug for me was the spreader only had a small one supplied with the filler, it was crap had to keep ANSI g the edge to get a clean scrape, does the flexi sanders fit most grinders, I have the usual cheapest Argos small one a large version and I also bought a professional polisher which has loads of heads, I'm sure o e will take the flexi sander, will keep you updated.
-
Thx for the advice, I must admit your xkr has me looking at that one on eBay?
The rivets are countersunk, I've put two thick layers of filler now which needs sanding, could not remove all rust as I am short on tools, the grinders at work, and only have an arc welder, may invest in a mig if I carry on, I think the main thing I need is a good sanding disc, I have only got a flat drill type and it does not flex etc, so hand sanding it now with 60 grit to flatten, then put more filler on fine, then used 320 grit, it's actually very hard to get the contour right but I am going to flip this car in a week once it has a new mot, if it passes?

Last night won a 1.6 tigra on eBay for next to nothing, thought it may be ok from the ad, engine is fine, pulled Into fill up and had a quick look round,oh dear it has half a wheel arch missing, a rusty boot lock and the door sill is very rusty.
As a beginner I don't think I've done to bad, cleaned loose rust, put rust remover, patched holes on sill and boot, cut some metal for wheel arch shaped it and epoxied it on, filler on everything inc my fingers.
Wheel arch did not glue properly as edges were up went and got a riveter, worked a treat and here's some pics I took, will hopefully get some paint and finish it off Wednesday, not professional but it was fun having a go!!
I know it's not brilliant but for a novice I've enjoyed doing it apart from my back aches like hell.
Will put the final pics up when it's done.

Looks like it fits very nicely, it's unlike your knob though, the one on the left, not your actual knob that's probably tiny! "Joke" "teeth"

Front seats of a ford transit works a treat and no leg cramps like on a fiesta as the seats are just the right height. No knocks on my window.
Those Swedish ai pairs were so friendly when I was young, must have a few bastards running around in Sweden.

You are extremely lucky if you were not injured, the car has had shunts nearly all over it.
Getting paid out so quick is almost unheard of, but I guess as your in the business you have the inside track.
Hope you get your next zed sorted out soon and glad to see you walked away from what could have caused serious injury, it also shows that Zelda can take quite a battering.

Looking to replace with a used system either Nissan original or s/s after market, but not a jap speed as the write ups I've read are not good.
Thx
