  1. I purchased this off here a few months ago, it was in great condition then and still is now as its only covered about 1k miles or less since I had it and cleaned and oiled it with a K&N service pack. Its for the DE engine. £25.00 posted within the UK, PM for dibs/to buy: Thanks, Stu
  2. I went the opposite way from S to Z. As said poles apart but the S is a lot easier to have fun with. Theres plenty to do to the Mini to personalise and make things more interesting. I do miss mine a little and I'll possibly be back in another as my Z is up for sale. Regarding the fuel, yeah thirsty little buggers and made the transition to Z almost unnoticeable!
  3. Sadly selling the Z, only added a few mods and here they are: Horsham Developments Plenum spacer for DE engine. 8mm thick, includes all the bolts, plenum spacers and strut brace spacers. Gasket is re-usable with no damage. Had this on just under 4months. £120.00 plus post or collect from Cannock Staffs. Paypal or cash, buyer to cover paypal fees: Cobra Exhaust. Resonated centre section. This had been damaged by the previous owner and advertised as repaired. Luckily I bought in person as the repair was badly welded and price adjusted. The one hanger had come away from the back box. I had this professionally TIG welded and plated as can be seen in the photos. Its stronger than new, in overall good condition and will certainly polish up better than in these photos. Sounds wise its as others describe just makes the Z sound like it should of done from factory (lovely). £300.00 plus post, I can box and ship at buyers risk, or collect from Cannock Staffs. Paypal or cash, buyer to cover paypal fees: PM on here for dibs, any questions ask in the thread so it helps others if possible. Thanks, Stu
  4. Bought off a member on here in November last year in excellent condition and it still is. Only covered less than 2000 miles since I have had it and approx just over that by the previous (first) owner so a total of less than 5000miles. I would clean the element but it just doesn't need it! Comes with all fitting bolts plus an extra one (anodised red) seen in the first photograph. Posted within the UK for £140.00 or can be collected from Cannock Staffs. Paypal or Cash on Collection. Dibs on this thread then followed up by a Personal Message on here please. Thanks!
  5. I recognise this interior from the Cosford meet Saturday just gone. The quality of the re-trim is stunning, the fit and stitching is just superb. I would say the Z seats aren't the easiest either as they look quite a complex pattern.
  6. First 50 or so miles have gone well. Ive had about 20mins in the daylight to have a look around in my own time as it were. Headlights need a polish as a priority, I feel they stand out. Leather is in pretty good condition, I will clean it and treat it ASAP. Stereo (standard) seemed to not want to tune earlier, I could only use the preset stations. No major concern as I want to replace it soon. Tomorrow I will have it on some ramps on my drive to have a look underneath. Im sure there is a under tray rattling (sounds like a plastic rattle nothing serious and no one else can hear it other than me). Very happy overall. Awesome car and road presence.
  7. Boom! Purchasement made. What a car. Details to follow along with many questions for you seasoned Z'ers.
  8. First drive in a Z today. I hoped for a bit more rawness if Im honest. It's by no means a criticism, I didn't expect it to be raw. Possibly a little more Air filter or Exhaust noise would be all I would want for. Again, not a criticism. Very fast, sounds great, feels great, build quality better than I expected and I didn't expect it to be bad at all so lots of positives. The car was an '07 so a facelift. 85k, full history, Midnight Blue. I have never bought a car purely for its colour or turned down a good car because it wasn't the preferred colour of choice but I really personally think silver or GM suit the Z the most. Body work had a couple of bad stone chips that should of been taken care of and very slight bubbling on the roof around the chips. Possible shadowing on the drivers door and five small dents on the passenger door. All could be taken care of cheaply so didn't put me off. Test drive time and I made sure it was a good distance, handled well as to be expected but possibly 4th, definitely 5th and without a shadow of a doubt 6th gear synchros were shot. Bloody awful at the stick. 100 miles there, 100 miles back. :-( The search continues.......
