  1. Oo tempting, was thinking about a drop just the other day.

    Still not got around to fitting the Milltek I bought off you yet tho. Not sure the missus would appreciate yet more car parts stacked up in the dining room.

     

    Do it ! You have seen the quality of the parts I've sold first hand ... These are no different :)

     

    This is how they look

    How's the ride compared to stock? Don't really want to be crashing about all over the place, the Zed is my daily.

  2. Although I've heard of batteries on the Zed lasting for 8,9 and even 10 years they usually expire after 3-4 years.....I'm on my 3rd in 9 years.

    I've just replaced mine, looked original. Car was registered Nov 2014, so if it was the OEM one then it managed just over 11 years.

    It was drained by me being an idiot and leaving my interior light on for several days after playing about setting up my headunit. So I suspect that I could have charged it up, but I wasn't going to take the risk of getting stranded over winter.

  3. Yeah, the red legacy estate. You were the only person leaving anything resembling a gap so I went for it. Still not used to the slightly sluggish pickup for the box,

     

    The zed is off regular commuting duty until get I the milltek I picked up the other day fitted, far too loud to put up with when I'm crawling along the motorway as it is at the moment.

     

    Agreed on the traffic, it's what steered my choice of barge towards one with a slushbox.

  4. I've just picked up a £900 Legacy Outback mk2, sort of for winter, mostly just so I can do some maintenance without having to rush to get it all back together by Monday morning.

     

    She's not a looker, but very comfortable and has useful winter features like approx 20cm ground clearance and what appears to be a button for a heated front screen.

    I forgot how refreshing it is to not care about what happens to your car.

    Quite happy sticking it in a tight space in the office or supermarket, no worries that someone is going to smash it getting in/out.

     

    edit: forgot the all important pic:

  6. Thanks everyone. They do suit it so well that it almost seems like they look better on a 50 than 70.

     

    Just out of curiosity, does this mean you're selling your old rays? Or you keeping them for track / winter tyres?

     

    I was thinking about keeping them for winter/track/putting back when I sell up, but the GF probably wouldn't appreciate me filling the house with more car bits.

     

    Shall let you know in a couple of weeks what the score is.

  7. Oh I see your fitting a new zorst.

     

    Could do with a decent car friendly garage / workshop round this way to get my HFC and pipes on. Was talking to a local garage and they just lobbed all the bits in the back, gouging holes in the relatively decent condition plastics :unsure: not sure I want to give them any cash after that.

  8. This is covered in the stickies above, but when I fitted mine I just bought this kit: http://incartec.co.uk/Pages/Product.aspx?P=4482

     

    Has everything you need. If the levels aren't high enough for you (probably won't be), you'll have to do the buster mod which is somewhere else in this section of the forum.

     

    You'll need to trim some of the inside of the fascia adapter as the Eonon unit is about 2mm too tall for it to fit over.

    Can confirm that all the music related buttons work, not 100% on the phone ones as I rarely take calls in the car.

  9. Ginger with a Y plate, sat in traffic approaching St Pauls roundabout eastbound. Didn't notice you till it was too late.

     

    Then an Azure 02 plate passed me and I followed heading east through the 50 zone past Bournemouth
