Car looks brilliant mate! Was the Megs stuff good then? Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk

I am sorry mate. If I thought the clutch was gonna go I would have sorted it before hand though Other than that is the car okay??? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi Brad, When I bought the car myself three months ago I budgeted for a clutch change as at 118K and no history of one I thought it may need it. I did about 1000 miles in the car before yesterday and on my family's life never have I felt it slip or had any issues with it whatsoever. The plastic bag smell I mentioned which you couldn't smell wasn't me trying to hide anything. I was being honest. A while back I created a thread where I could smell something burning. The smell came when the car was cold and at idle, and eventual investigation proved it to be a carrier bag that had gotten caught on the new Y Pipe. Also the rev bounce is an issue with the speedo and nothing to do with the clutch. Alot of Zeds have this issue it turns out but I just figured that was how they were. I am really sorry about the clutch mate but I honestly don't know what I am expected to do. I wasn't even going to sell the car until September and then I was going to ask for £5800 but a few people on the forum said "If you have to sell it then sell it now." I didn't try to hide anything on the test drive at all, and you yourself just said the car was fine until 100 miles or so into the drive back. I would NEVER have sold the car if I thought the clutch was going to go, if I thought it was on its way out I would have got it done prior to selling. It's 'not cricket' to knowingly sell a car with the clutch on its way out but I honestly swear it has been fine with me the whole time. Including the 100 mile round trip to Longleat and back recently. I feel really bad and really wanted you to enjoy the car as much as I have mate. And for this to happen on the way home sucks. 6 hours after I bought it I marooned it on a driveway which wrecked the Y pipe flexis. £150 later it was back on the road. Have you looked into the warranty that came with the car when I bought it mate? It was a 6 month one I recall. Not sure if a clutch would be covered as it is a wear and tear item possibly?

Has it actually gone mate or was it slipping? It didn't slip once when i took you for that blast, and nor did it any other time Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk

He bought it! :-( Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi mate, Based in Bristol, Mileage is 118,000 with FNSH, taxed and Mot etc. Brad is viewing it tonight though so it may go! Will let you know the outcome. I didn't intend to sell it yet but Brad needs a 350Z more than I do from the sounds of it, haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Nothing. Haha, Literally a poverty spec Manual. It has 19" Wheels and leather but that's about it. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

M3s do mate. Can't find a decent E36 Coupe 3.0 for much less than £4000. 3.2 Evo? Add another £1000! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Yeah but his reason was the fact it was a write off and didn't want the people he was trying to sell it to to find out, haha I've pretty much scripted my entire advert but was waiting until closer to the baby arrival time to advertise it. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Spotted a great looking black 370Z today that was stuck in traffic with me on the ring road towards Frenchay. Doubt it saw me as I was quite far behind. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Agreed. I used the expensive one to be on the safe side. Cost like £20 or £30 for three so I got 3. Only used one though. Other ones have expired. Oh well. On another note, if Brad does buy mine it will be the one car he's been interested in that hasn't even been advertised, haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Here you go; Not sure if you're aware but it's for sale too... Hahaha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

The Aztec West roundabout is drift-tastic. (Traffic and traffic light permitting!) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

This little chap wants to go out again from the looks of it. So taking him out I guess. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Did mine a while back now. They look great! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I have faith! Hahaha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hey mate, just replying now! Only just seen them buddy. I HPId it properly when I bought it and haven't crashed in between then and now haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Did he check to see if it had a boot floor? Yeah he did haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

On a more serious note my mate bought a 2002 E46 M3 yesterday and didn't HPI it!!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Is he aware of this?! You might want to let him know if not He's been mentioning that his car is for sale in almost every post I've seen him make, I'm sure at this point Darren would travel to Bradders for a sale. Wasn't that the car with an undeclared end over end crash? I don't know how he fixed it so well, I guess a lot of fibreglass I fixed it myself so the workmanship is incredible. They were all out of fibreglass though so I just used Blu Tac and sticky back plastic. (And yes Brad we are joking, lol) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

It was written off in 2009 when the car was worth £8000 though mate. That would be an entire front and rear end! Haha Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Few Xenon Headlights up in there Nw wings bumper bonnet Slam panel Radiator Condenser could easy get up that way when you start adding paint prep, Recovery admin fees etc I guess. But I'd still prefer a car that hadn't been written off. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Agree 100%. Mine had no evidence of a clutch change so I expected to need to do it but touch wood I've done 1000 miles since I bought it and the clutch is fine. I think traffic light grand prix attempts don't help. I'm very careful with my clutch and gearbox whereas my father in law had to change the clutch on his S2000 at 60K.
