  1. Guys if you want to embed the Youtube videos just paste the URL in between " " tags and take the "s" from after the "http" in the URL in order for it to embed correctly on the forum.
  2. I really enjoy this video below. Now it is old so bear that in mind whilst watching it but imo it is still one of the most enjoyable, exhilarating laps of the Isle of Man TT course you will watch as Tony Pond wrestles a Rover Vitesse around it to ultimately break the then record of a 100mph average speed over a lap in a production car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9iRo66dpzA Enjoy.
  3. I know veeg has done this mod to his and they do look fantastic. Think you need better sidelights now though as the DRL's are showing them up.
  4. Do you want to edit the title kriss to read "spacers". Good luck with your search.
  5. I think he's gone and joined "Mumsnet", ...less handbags being thrown around & bickering on there. As Nic & Will said above no need for people to get personal. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. He says; whilst being personal... Really, you think that was "personal"? aimed at anyone in particular? Nope. If that's what you believe though then so be it.
  6. I think that's a good idea but ultimately that is down to the sellers. Some as I have done in the past will simply leave the price up or draw a line through it with "sold" written next to it but others choose to delete the price. As sellers can edit their for sale adverts once listed I'm not sure how you could stop this happening as it really is at the sellers discretion.
  7. ^^ You need to caption that picture with "Like a boss".

  9. That's brave Squee letting Nismo drive the R33, ...I'm surprised it can even reach the pedals tbh.
  10. I tend to agree with this. Looking at the car it's beautiful but I never realised the 0-60 on these would be the time it is. I thought it would be at least a sub 5 seconds. Not that 0-60 is everything but still I thought it'd be quicker.
  11. Nice reflection shot.
  12. Gareth rather than lock your thread I have merged it with BBK's original thread on the same subject. Good spot Zedd.
  13. Welcome aboard. for the cubby. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/
  14. I use a laptop to access the site so not sure if it's different on a mobile or tablet but if you want to quote another members post then you just need to press "quote" (or "MultiQuote" to quote more than one member at a time) and it will apply the post you've selected to the "reply to this topic" box. Regarding the number plate: personally I'd just put it on the front of the car sooner rather than later. No point drawing Police attention to yourself imo.
  15. Hi James, your best bet is to hover your cursor arrow over Ian's username (HAMLNJ). You should see some more info pop up then including the "send message" icon. If you use that to send him a PM (private message) then it will give him a message on here but also send an identical one to his private email address which he is more likely to check regularly. Good luck.
  16. If you're getting the UpRev done at Horsham I'd highly recommend you buy one of their plenum spacers & get it fitted at the same time. It's what I did when I had my Zed remapped for the first time by them. Makes so much more sense to get all your mods done before having the UpRev done otherwise you'll end up having to fork out more money for extra dyno time later re-tuning it to suit later additional mods.
  17. I take it the alloys/tyres have been balanced then? As in you have wheel weights stuck on the inside of the alloys?? That should have been done by the tyre fitters. A buckled wheel would have shown up when being balanced. Unless you've hit something then I'd say it was unlikely on brand new alloys.
  18. Tyre sizes look good to me and are identical width/profile/size that I used to run on my DE Zed without issue. Have you checked the tyre pressures to make sure they're correct? FYI I used to run 35PSI all round with my 19's. Other than that I'd say get it to a decent garage were you can get 4 wheel laser alignment done. Probably cost you around £60-£100 but it's definitely worth it imo.
  19. For anyone to be able to help you're going to have to add a bit more detail I think. For example... Your standard alloys: What size were they? what tyre size did you have fitted to the front & rear? what make of tyres? Do you have spacers on the car? Your new alloys: What size are they including offset? what tyre size are you now running front & rear? what make of tyres? When I went from standard Rays alloys (ET30 8J 225/45/18" front & ET33 8.5J 245/45/18" rear) to Rota Grids (ET20 9.5J 245/35/19 front & ET20 10.5J 275/35/19 rear) I felt the car actually handled better with more grip albeit with some loss possibly in acceleration due to heavy wheel/tyre weight. When fitting new tyres & alloys you really should have the tracking done btw imo.
  20. Wait a minute, ...so what are you saying Stu? Are you trying to tell me my eBay bought "Michellin Pilot Supa Sporties" aren't legit tyres!!
  21. Happens to all of us to some degree. You seem to have a mild case which is slowly developing into a severe case by the sounds of it. You can try a Doctor but usually there is nothing they can prescribe which will help. Either sell the Zed or just accept it & carry on.
  22. I can't say for certain as it was fitted at the same time as I had my car remapped (UpRev) by Horsham. The car also had other mods at the time so although I did make good power I can't necessarily attribute it to one particular upgrade part.
  23. Doh! Sorry Stu shouldn't laugh, ...was that Grundys spelling mistake or yours?! Come on own up. Actually just seen your post and it would seem it's Ceejays mistake. (I thought it was double "l" as well though.)
