Also love these videos and nice to see a lot of other cars in the mix. Usually they have a lot of Honda's pitted against each other. I was also very impressed with the S2000 as they are a handful. Shame there wasn't an Evo and NSX in the mix.

Excellent thread. I have the same setup as the OP and always thought the Karcher adaptor was a bit. Rubbish but didn't know any better. Have now ordered the same Lance in the first post. Thanks for the great write up and tips.

Love TVR's although I would never risk owning one. My favourite is the T350. Such a a gorgeous looking car.

We should really stick to discussing cars you know

I think you have a nicer rear end also. EDIT: Before anyone wonders and draws the wrong conclusion, Kraziekatz1 is female and a work friend. I don't normally talk about rear ends on a forum. Thank you to Kraziekatz1 for altering to me a potential public embarresment

So, between tea brakes and car talk, Kraziekatz1 and I decided to do a mini Japfest of our own at work today. One thing we discovered was both of our cars are filthy Anyone, one gorgeous Azure 350Z and one head turning CW DC5

But would you say your DC5 turns more heads than my z? I feel a challenge coming on......tomorrow?? Well, to be honest, considering how your Z looks, I think it would be pretty even. The difference is, with me behind the wheel of your Z, I would turn more heads than you hahaha Ok, so a challenge, how do you plan on judging who wins or shall we just accept the inevitable and say I won, I mean, you know how popular I am at work The words 'pretty boy' spring to mind for some reason lol Shall we ask that lovely lady who cleans the office? I'm sure she would give a good, unbiased answer! HAHA the cleaner lady who not only worships the ground you walk on but also believed me when I said I have buried you in my garden as you didn't look at my DC5. I am sure she was one digit away from dialling 999 until I said it was a joke Still might bury you in my garden

Oh, well, if we are talking Fast and Furious, then I will have to post my second favourite scene. No doubt kraziekatz1 will be along shortly with some rolling eyes and insults aimed at my direction

Did someone mention my name I love my CW DC5 but I am not sure this is quite the place I should say I think it looks better than a Z Not sure I would get much agreement or get out of this forum alive I am sure my CW DC5 next to Kraziekatz1's blue Z will compliment each other. They are both awesome looking cars but also very different types of cars.

Mine's a cup holder, never used though.....don't like to drink n drive in the zed WOW Oh, trust you Kraziekatz1 to get excited about cup holders, all you do is drink tea all day

Oi, shouldn't you be learning how to turn your traction control off Oh, and you owe me a cup of tea.

Geez never seen any thing like that on track before in all my track days. Terrible standards from the drivers, organisers and marshals.

It could always be worse, it could had been mistaken for a Porsche Boxster. We need to think of the positives ok

Wow, what an amazing race

So, predictions for the race? I think, 1. Marquez 2. Dovi 3. Bautista 4. Smith 5. Lorenzo Dovi or Bautista might be the other way round but they also have as much chance of taking themselves out in an incident.

HAHA I have the same plan also. Any money my mum leaves me will be blown on a Caterham or Exige

I'd rather listen to that than some of the crap thats on the radio nowadays. or eaven wotch Man U try and play football again I'll correct that for you.."or even watch Man U play football again"..What relevance has that to F1..? Here's something for you to listen to..!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oWZqb_PX12A Oversteer and understeer, all at the same time Love it, awesome stuff.

I wish my mum wouldn't keep climbing over my car, it's getting very embarrassing, especially when I pop to Sainsburys for some milk which sainsburys would this be Pretty sure it's not the one off J12.....would have noticed. I'm sure I've seen her down the 'wash n wax' on Oxford Road though How weird is that, I was going to the Oxford Road tomorrow, I might need to take a detour to wash n wax. Hope it's warm enough for bikini weather

I wish my mum wouldn't keep climbing over my car, it's getting very embarrassing, especially when I pop to Sainsburys for some milk I want to sh*g your Mam I'll start drawing up the contract tonight

I can't wait for this either, the racing should be epic. I think it's worth keeping an eye on Bautista, he seems to be pretty happy at the moment. I think Dovi and Bautista might have a few good scraps. I also hope Rossi can find form but not sure to be honest.

I was parked up many years ago in my P reg Elise S1 waiting to pick my son up from school. A lady in a brand new Seat Leon pulled up next to me and said wow, is that a Porsche? I said no, a Lotus. She then said I must be really rich and it must be really expensive. I then proceeded to tell her that it probably cost half of what her new Leon cost. She didn't believe me so I told her it cost me £7k and she was totally go smacked. Still not sure she believed me but funny how peoples perceptions are on cars.

Before the Zed my most recent car was a 2003 EP3 Civic Type R but before that I've had a JDM classic Impreza WRX (dyno @295bhp), Golf VR6, ST24 and various other relatively fast cars. To me the Zed is definitely the best car I've owned to date and does not feel slow at all. When driven hard, foot to the floor changing gear at every shift light point you can very quickly get up to some serious licence losing speeds. Yes it's very different from my old Civic which felt great when wound up above 6000rpm in VTEC and it doesn't have the pin you in your seat effect of a turbo boost like my old Impreza but still it's a deceptively quick vehicle. For me I just love the linear power of the Zed and incredible torque in pretty much any gear at any speed. Seriously Linus27 I think you really should go for a good test drive before you truly make up your mind. Remember as well that people who have owned these cars for a while will have gotten used to the power/acceleration available just like you do with any car really. Thanks GMballistic and yes, I do need to test drive one first. Thankfully, I still have my WRX and S1 so can compare pretty much back to back. The thing I hate about the EP3 is the lack of torque. I think it only has something like 145bhp before 6k revs so when you put your foot down, not a lot happens until you hit VTEC. In comparison, the S1 just flies, the WRX obviously does and even my wife's 1990 1.6 MX5 pulls nicely through all the gears so if the 350z has nice torque low down then I will be happy

I've used toothpaste before and a very thick woollen walking sock and it worked perfectly. I now have the Meguiars kit and it's very good.
