  1. Your Zed looked brilliant dude ..... one of my favourite colours you have there :) 

     

    yes mate in totton ..... 

     

    thanks , yes it’s only a cayman but I love it ! 
     

    Give me a shout when you are out and about as I’d love to have a closer look at your Zed

  2. I've driven both the R and SC and actually made an offer on a SC ( 1k under what the dealer wanted ) but wasn't excepted. These were both on my short list ..... and I came to the conclusion that it was just to hardcore for me as a weekend /sunny day car ! It rattle like mad , rock hard suspension and even the sc didn't feel that fast ! The build quality was horrendous on them and i just couldn't live with the fibreglass and worries of damage /repairs .

     

     

    I know you've had an s2k before but might be worth a look at again . Going up in value , cheap to run, with a few mods can be a little weapon and a lot better road going car than the Elise's imo

  3. Like another thread doing the rounds............ make your own discs out of industrial size coffee tins ----------- I'm sure it will work (for 30 minutes of testing so you can get an idea of how it would actually feel and work)

     

     

     

     

    what could possible go wrong ??

     

    Link please ..... need a laugh !

  4. Wouldn't bother with 1m ( same as e92 m3 brakes ) they are pretty pants to be honest on track from evryone on the m3 cutters forum .

     

    I'd splash the cash on some decent AP/stoptech ones .... yes they cost quite a bit but look at what they go for 2nd hand . Get 70% of your money back when you take them off !

    I'm looking at these for my car . Phoned last week and they can make brackets up for pretty much anything . Very helpful on the phone .

  6. Getting a bit done now On the s2k

     

    Stripped back the rear arches and painted /under sealed them ... this took a lot longer than I thought !!

    Then got the wheel refurbed . Went for oem diamond cut finish with gunmetal grey . Very pleased with the finish off them .

  7. Don't know if I missed it but it all depends on how much the value and area it's in . If it's a 600k place and they want 40k more than surrounding places for a few reasons then I'd say that's worth it . If it's like 200k and they want 40k more than others for no reason then hold off !

     

    Bought our place for 260k 4 years ago ... put around about 30k into it , just had it valued at 455k . Which is all well and good if I wanted to go into rented or go to a cheaper area , but for the next step up for us and what we'd want it's like 6-700k !! Everything goes up and down ..... just got to take a gamble sometimes . On our last place i just broke even after 3 years ..... well I made a healthy £500! Hahaha
