Oh and what's great about that thread is that his "friend" has responded as well as another track day driver (Driving a honda accord) who basically acknowledges that the guy didn't get any better throughout the day. The Mclaren driver has replied too! So if he "friend" had mentioned it why didn't he change his behaviour? Regardless of him being a 25st lump (mainly gristle) I would have had no problems asking him to get off the track or to stop and think about his driving. I'm no expert, but I am considerate to others on the track because 1) I want to have fun 2)I don't want to damage my car 3) it's more fun taking the right lines without having someone to worry about on your inside.

The biggest issues for me is the overtakes mid corner, and the lack of space he gives other drivers. His bodylanguage and behaviour inside the car is his call, it's just the lack of attention and respect to other drivers that ultimately I find irritating.

Had he been there when we were there, I'm sure you me, Brillo and Ken would have had words!

The thread is here: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/304793-r35-bedford-parody.html I'm surprised they didn't black flag him for his overtaking manoeuvres. I'd be interested to hear more about the crash he caused.

This is doing the rounds of the GTR forums but also other forums I frequent - this guy is a tool. But I love the parody of this guy's track video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JEr6QwKoJA

wouldn't it do the same if it was a bearing ? are you thinking lash or bushes ? Ah perhaps - I know I had a similar issue in the past (not on the Zed) and I used that to pin point it.

Could be the diff? Have you tried cornering at speed and loading up the diff to see if the tone of the noise changes or if it stops altogether?

Excellent - will keep my eyes on the thread!

Fabia VRS is 1200kg so if it was remapped it would have a power to weight ratio not far off the Zed. It's no surprise, it's all about Power to weight ratio in this sort of thing. Round a track or on a twisty road, you'd be able to put the power down more easily on the Zed but I wouldn't dismiss the Fabia with a competent driver.

I think a nicely fettled Zed is a good match for an E46 M3. Certainly on a track there's very little in it from my experience. The E92 M3 though is something I have to say is very very nice! Welcome to the Zed club though, we're far superior!

Voted for the first and last options as I wanted to check out what I was buying into and it helped me make an informed decision, but also enjoy getting to know people. Since joining this forum, I've been to the zed shed, met a dozen or so people, and taken some guys out on a track day in my Zed.

I'm going to be leaving mine until it expires since I only got mine 2 months ago! Might as well keep displaying it!

Silenced decats are the way to go if you're after the most power after a remap and you have a friendly MOTer or you are able to put the cats back on for MOT

Will be keeping an eye on this thread now.... Hopefully there will be interest!

Sounds like it's not been fitted well (no offence) did you put new gaskets on? Did you fit them flush or is did you have to "force" it in place? If it's leaking that much I'd stop using the car until you got it sorted really.

I'd be up for a diff group buy. Or lightened flywheel/clutch combo...

My time has come.... The next 4 weeks are going to be worth the wait!

So... tempting.... I'm still debating with myself whether to go ATB or 1.5way plate diff.... I also want a lightweight flywheel - I just want to spend money... that I don't have! lol!

I love how you got told off for drifting! Any vids of that naughty behaviour? Great track and weather for it I don't think I like the POV with wide angle though...

Yeah it was saturday sorry Not a roadster either

Saw you drive by the railway crossing I was tucked away out of site but sounded nice.

None because I don't like apple software. I think the hardware is very pretty but I prefer the functionality of my android devices (Nexus 5) as I'm a bit more of a techy person and don't like the sandboxing apple has and enjoy the more advanced features of android.

haha! Yes it was It's very hard to go out on the pull in the Maldives, everyone seems to be on their honeymoon

We went there for our honeymoon. Most relaxting trip I've ever had, and I've been all round the world several times. It was perfect for a honeymoon or holiday get away where you just want to absorb yourself in being with one another. We went to Veligandu resort, it's a small island (600m long if that), lots of amazing snorkelling, scuba to be done, lots of chilling out on pearly white sandy beaches, amazing food (unlimited food, and drink if you drink alcohol or not), water sports and so on. For only around £5-6k you can go to one of the higher tier resorts for 10 nights or so. I'd avoid the bigger islands if you want a bit of quiet time, and want to keep away from families. It's constantly around 30C and you do get the occasional downpour but they hardly last long. A few pics: AS you can see there aren't many people loitering around, you get a lot of privacy. We did a bit of island hopping to other islands and resorts, see some of the locals, went fishing and on a few boat trips., it was never crowded. If you were to go to a bigger resort I think you'd end up getting a little bit bored of people. The beach here had beds, hammocks, and other chill out areas under palm trees hidden amongst and around the island, so you could disappear and have a private cuddle and chat without lots of people around. There was also a spa there, which whilst not my thing, having a thai woman massage your inner thigh is always pleasurable!

Made a heck of a mess of the car...
