  1. Get a credit card with 0% APR on purchases for 12 months, pay your insurance off outright with that and set up a direct debit for the amount /12... Chop the card up and save even more as you won't be paying the interest your insurer will hike onto the price?
  2. Hmph. Order most of my things from Clark's but never been treated to a free hat!
  3. Should be able to bag an early UK GT with similar miles within your budget, will have all the good stuff you're after. Good luck with the hunt
  4. Really like these wheels, could probably acquire some 2nd hand Work Meister's for a similar price though?
  5. Cobra is a no brainer according to the search function
  6. Does the 06 airbox have a wider diameter intake too?
  7. It does look very yobbish and like it's fallen through a branch of Demon Tweeks, but I suppose it's all part of the character. Would rather purchase one of these over a boring 1 Series hatchback ,boring A Series, boring R... Yawn, you get the drift.
  8. Yes, come on people, this is the thinking mans intake mod. I want mine so get signed up.
  9. Just looked this up which I probably should have done before posting... If the car was imported after the 2006 cut off, it will be in the higher tax band. So for example, you could have an 03 JDM car, imported in 07 and be paying the four hundred odd quid. One to look out for anyway.
  10. Aren't all imports in the upper tax bracket? In which case if OP is going for an earlier car, this could be a disadvantage?
  11. Has anyone tried one of these on the back of the car yet? Just wondered on fitment...
  12. Anyone running with Japspeed HFC's on here? I currently have a Scorpion cat back , Y pipes, K&N panel filter and maybe looking to do the plenum and HFC upgrade before an Up Rev. I know quite a few people recommend Berks, but is there much of a difference between these and Japspeed? Any information would be appreciated.
  13. Compression arm and front drop links fitted today. Getting new Brembo brake pads all round tomorrow. Open to reasonable offers.
  14. Mine would be within your price range and ticks all the boxes bar the colour. I was initially after gun metal but after seeing a silver in the flesh, it's actually a lot nicer than pictures make out. Going to book it in for Friday to have the compression arm / drop links done. Apart from that you'd need to factor in a few hundred to sort the bubbling out but it's only surface and small. Price is negotiable although not too desperate to sell so won't be going for daft money. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/100025-350z-53-silver-uk-gt-71k-south-cumbria-6200/
  15. Ok will give them a shout, cheers. Might also have to give the rally day a go too just for the sheer fun of hooning a WRX through some mud, even if it may not be totally productive.
  16. Yes, something like this sounds ideal. From their website: Smooth acceleration, cornering, balancing the car on the throttle, trailing throttle, trailing brake, left foot braking, what it feels like to experience understeer, oversteer and how to feel them and correct them, gear changing, heel and toe, skid control, spin avoidance and even how to control the rotation of your car and get it back inline from 90 degrees.... ....to name but a few, along with some of the more entertaining, rather than educational manoeuvres. That's exactly what I was trying to articulate in my original post. That is a proper trek though, if anyone knows anything similar up North, please let me know.
  17. Seems like a harsh sentence, but I don't know what people expect uploading stuff like that to youtube. Idiot.
  18. Been wanting to look into this for a while now but I'm in need of some advice. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to actually driving properly. I'm wanting to increase my knowledge of the cars handling with a physics lesson, carrying speed through corners, oversteer, understeer etc and wondered about the best way of doing this. Seems like there's 2 obvious options, a day at a track under instruction or a day at a rally school? I'd then look to take my new found talent of being the next Jason Plato and attend a few trackdays. I live in the South Lakes so happy to travel around the North West / West Yorkshire etc and wondered if anyone had done something similar and recommend anywhere? There's these guys who Google threw up near the top who seem to have the right approach: http://drivertuition.com/index.htm Or a rally school near Bradford: http://www.extreme-rally.co.uk/ Any advice or information would be much appreciated.
  19. Really like this. Making me think twice about selling mine Wouldn't mind the 135i on that channel too though!
  20. It's only usually surface bubbling etc that is easy enough to get rid of. I've not really heard of anything terminal on a Zed yet? Rear arch is common one as people have said. Mine needs doing.
