Well the car seems to not be quite as urgent after driving it yesterday, the only thing that has changed is I put 40 quids worth of vpower in from another station. Or it could be that i am just used to the new power ? It just doesnt feel as alive, even the sound isn't as aggressive if that makes sense

not sure what annoys me most in life ryan air or mike brewers voice

Have had my 296 Z for a while, I don't do many miles but always felt the it to be a little flat and in the entire time i've owned it (14 months) have seen the traction control come on once. When my brakes started making an horrendous noisy I discovered the nearside caliper was stuck on. this caused the pad to have worn down to the metal on the inside. The was a more meat on the pads on the offside. Having fixed this, the car feels completely different to drive, it now feels electric. The acceleration is frankly amazing i feel like its gained 30 or so HP using my butt dyno. Oh and roundabouts, the traction control now says hello if i give it a little stick upon exiting. The back ed of the car feels alive where as before it felt wooden. Really chuffed as to me it feels as fast at my old Revo stage one ST. Absolutely love the car. As I have said I now know what everyone is on about when they claim the 350 is a real drivers car.

Hello mate just seen this, let big Si have them as I don't need them I just have a bad habit of hoarding new car bits! Save me a bollocking from the missus to.

If you weren't other end of the country I would have snapped these up

That's like motorbike quick

Took wheel off today and pulled the pads, no material on the inside one that I couldn't see. This was only the case on the nearside. The offside was very low and the corner broken off. Replaced with brand new pads and she's good as new! Thanks for all your help

Not I didnt, only had a quick look while on lunch Ill poke my head under car when I get in. Used a iphone to look at pads

Just looked at pads, plenty of life on them. Moved the car up and down the street and under breaking no noise. This is only forwards and backwards and under 5mph. It definatley gets worse as the car gets hot and even worse if I have a passenger. Maybe wheel bearings?

The garage a major player on here didnt do a great job, I watched they basically did a p1 but charged me for a p2. I will have a look, im certain its the rear

did you check the rear of the discs ? corrosion will always take place at the rear No I havent, it had a major P2 a month a go but the garage didnt really check anything other than the pads. Will I need to remove the wheel to do this?

Not even sure how to do this

My advice would be to stop putting your face near your brakes. In all seriousness the disc might be warped or cracked? What pads are you using? Just OEM ones? Will be OEM ones, it is booked into the garage on the 4th. DOnt use the car for work thankfully. If it needs pads im going use this as excuse to get some better pads and or discs

I have a horrible grinding noise that I am sure is coming from the left hand side of my car. It happens when I press the brakes and coming to a stop. It is quite a low noise when the car is cold but as it gets warm and the brakes are used it gets louder. If im doing say 70 and want to scrub off speed I cannot hear it.Seems to be loude if I have a passenger to? What is going on! When the car was serviced last month there was loads of life on the pads and the discs look good to my untrained eye.

Well taken a punt on it! Hoping it's a good one!

Anyone?

I have a 296 car and been offered a flywheel from off here. The car is in greece and a 296hp, I am assuming the gearbox will be exactly the same hence his flywheel will fit mine UK car?

Never take my lid off and if got told to remove it I wouldn't fill up. I do put the visor up though. Bike has got a nice big registration plate on the back and CCTV everywhere, I can understand it might look a little intimidating but always very polite when I enter the station to pay.

Is there a set left?

That made me laugh the drainpipe comment. Must be like a musket! My boss has a little land but doesnt like the noise his gun makes so might get one of these and see if he will let me have a go at the crows. Thanks for the write up, nice to get an honest review. My 32 inch Beretta with extendable chokes only just fits in my safe.

Even as much as I love driving the Z thats a fair commute to shoot crows

Ive the .410 version of that mossberg with a silencer (moderator) on it which I use for lamping, and in the USA its known as the "defender" aimed at home defence! They do it with a much shorter barrel, no stock and a "spreader" choke which helps you maneuver it in tight spots and inflict max damage to scumbags inside your house. How quiet is this? Something ive been thinking of buying. Would love to have access to more land to shoot on

Those shells in the pic in a box are 50g BB loads 3 inch magnum shells, the recoil is savage, it would decimate anything that got in its path! The ones on the belt in black are made by the same people (lyalvaleexpress) and proper hunting cartridges I was surprised at just how powerful these are http://www.lyalvaleexpress.com/supreme-game-fibre-32-grams Do you have a shotgun? Are you local to Sandbach in Cheshire Id happily come remove them if you have enough land to shoot on. Ive got 4 shotguns so teaming up on the pesky crows wouldnt be an issue if you fancied a pop at them!

Wouldn't a shotgun be more use for crows?! That H and K is so much fun, more suited to rabbits but you would probably freak people out hunting with that

I wish the law would allow me to carry one of my toys in the car with me, esp the Mossberg with the magnum shells
