  1. I know it's pretty crazy really ~ seen identical age/condition cars with about 40-50K miles difference between them advertised for the same price.
  2. Both look beautiful although the colour of your Zed is the better red I think. My condolences for your loss.
  3. Somewhere between £7.5K and £10.5K maybe. So hard to judge without seeing condition but also hard to price as similar HR's on Autotrader vary in price so much. Seen some with 20K miles on the clock for the same price as ones with 60/70K miles.
  4. Very nice and better value than the Supersprint ones, ...although anyone selling these in the UK do you know? I know that company does ship worldwide though but just wondered. Edit: Yes forgot you could ask Tarmac of course.
  5. Clutch & add a light weight flywheel maybe. Where are you going to get long tube manifolds from though? I thought the only ones about for the 350's where the Supersprint ones which where ridiculously expensive.
  6. It's a smaller number yes. Not sure about the car though if that's what you meant?!
  7. Found some info on boot capacity (not a lot I could find/be bothered to on the 207 but it must be out there). 207 boot capacity ~ 270 litres with seats up Clio boot capacity ~ 300 litres with seats up/1146 litres with the seats down Width of boot opening at bottom = 93.5 Length of boot floor with back seats up = 65.2 Length of boot floor with back seats down = 123 Height of boot opening measured from floor = 89.2

    You won't be disappointed imo. I have the Rota Grid's in 19" ~ got a package wheel & tyre deal from the Cougar Store. Came with everything needed (wheel nuts/spigot rings etc) fully balanced and ready to go. Ask Mitz to see what he can do for you when you're ready.
  9. PM zmanalex and I'm sure he'll be able to sort you out (he has loads of 350Z parts in stock). Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/user/9648-zmanalex/ Failing that which I doubt very much check out the member traders section, 350Z parts for sale & traders section as there are a few people breaking 350 Zeds on here, ....Clark Motorsport, R35LEE and RS Shades just to name a few.
  10. You see I wouldn't even consider the Clio from my brothers experiences with them. Never driven one myself so no idea if they're a good car to drive but he had quite a few problems with all the Clios he had, ...172 Cup, 182 & the 197. He could have just been really unlucky though.
  11. There will be imo a very slight difference in performance between the two as the Cobra is a single pipe from the Y pipe back as I understand it whereas the Invidia is a true dual exhaust system. A true dual exhaust system is supposed to be better for performance from what I understand although I'd imagine the difference is not noticeable apart from maybe on a dyno & even then it probably isn't much. As Stevo mentions though also depends on your budget as the Invidia is pretty much twice the price of the Cobra.
  12. It would seem that way although would be interesting to know whether the Honda was in or near VTEC when they did there moving tests depending on what gears they where in as this would make a big difference. When driving my old Type R at high rpm it was just fantastic as everytime you shifted gear it was straight back in to VTEC. Lower rpm's though it does lack a bit of go but it's a high reving n/a engine so to get the best out of it was always intended to be at the higher end of the rpm range. Do you know if the Peugeot has independent rear suspension or does it just have a single torsion bar? The independent rear suspension on the EP3 is part of what makes it such a great car on the track.
  13. Looks good mouthwash. The cheaper option is probably just to get a custom made pipe to delete the centre resonator, ...should bring the sound level up a bit.

    Of the two colours you listed I'd say anthracite. Just to throw another colour into the mix though in case you're interested I have steel grey colour Rota's on my gun metal colour Zed which looks really good imo.
  15. Found this video of a little race.. Also some stats here for you on both; http://www.zeperfs.com/en/duel175-1366.htm
  16. I'd highly recommend the Invidia Gemini system Hougenie. It's what I bought for mine and is fantastic with no drone whatsoever. The Cougar Store or Tarmac Sportz are both very good traders that can sort you out a good deal on your new exhaust system I'm sure.
  17. Bugger, ...spent so long reading the first post making sure I was trying to meet the criteria that I missed that bit. Back to the drawing board.
  18. I don't know if this is just me but when I went to comprehensive school (1990's onwards) I remember all the teachers where aged something like 30-40/50 somethings but nowadays it seems the teachers are all really young with a lot of them being under 30. My work colleague actually commented the same thing the other week after he met his sons new female teacher for the first time. She's like 25 or something and gorgeous apparently. Goodness knows how the horny teenagers are going to concentrate.
  19. I would image it was for the next series yes and they're maybe filming it now or something. Hopefully if they are they'll do something interesting with it. Should of just given Darren B a camera Definitely ~ The show would have been so much longer though, ....but so much better too.
  20. What about a Honda Accord? Diesel here; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201408306995388/sort/pricedesc/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew/maximum-age/up_to_9_years_old/price-to/4000/usedcars/radius/1500/postcode/cf158rl/page/4/quantity-of-doors/4?logcode=p Petrol here; http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201408046344110/sort/pricedesc/postcode/cf158rl/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew/model/accord/maximum-age/up_to_9_years_old/price-to/4000/page/1/quantity-of-doors/4/make/honda/radius/1500/transmission/manual/usedcars?logcode=p For me the petrol one I think is very good value car in the executive spec. Any good?
  21. Darn it missed this. That's what you get for going to bed at 3am although doesn't sound like I missed anything too exciting. Will see if it's repeated on iplayer or something later ~ liked the look of these Formula E cars when I saw one.
  22. Next time Del just click on "Direct link" (which will automatically copy the URL) in the "share picture" option on Photobucket (right hand side of picture). Then paste in the URL box that appears when you click the image icon in the reply box on here. That way you can post the picture on here like Neilp has for you. Fyi ~ Zed looks awesome.
