    GT4 cracked wheel

    Bought second hand, came hydro dipped already. I thought the same thing when I saw it on the camera, that it looks like a previous weld job, just to be sure I put my camera round each spoke of the other wheels to see and had a feel, they don't have weld on the inside like this one, little annoying, should of noticed it at time of purchase.

  2. Noticed this today on the front Left. so annoyed! I'm guessing this is unsafe to drive now? If so I'm looking to buy a new single GT4 front wheel, then I need a place that can hydro-dip them to match the others. https://vimeo.com/145798588 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Hello, So I have had my new sound system in for a couple months now, total power draw of around 1000W. And I notice my car now cranks longer then before on start up, one time I was just sat with engine idling listening to the music at loud levels then shut down. Came back 10 mins later and it just barley started. I think my current battery / alternator can't cope with the power draw. I was wondering if anyone can recomend a good battery and better alternator and Big 3 pack, where I can purchase these and if it is a big job or not? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Haha Yeh I have, but I do miss it. My friend on Westbury was telling me someone on his Street got new orange Zed, guessing that you then, I'm just in the Westwood Park Estate like a minute away, will give you a shout next I'm up. I see from your other posts you've made some mods already, are you fairly mechanically skilled then? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Actually no, I live and work in Reading Berkshire so that's where the Zed is most of the time. I'm originally from Bradford (Clayton Heights) and that's where my family are, so I'm up north a few times a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Maybe I got lucky then, I was 24 with 6 points all for speeding (it was 9 but 3 expired, remaining 6 will expire in June 2016) and 2 years no claims. I went with admiral multi car this year, they insured the Zed and my cat D focus for 900, had to have the plug in box in the Zed for three months then posted it back, got bronze score every single week 😃😃 so no discount next year lol. Although I'll be 25 then so that means it's knocked dow anyway, hopefully. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I spotted the Zed's very brief appearance in the movie tonight. https://vimeo.com/145080389 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Woohoo I got spotted 😃 house is my uncles, paying him a visit, he runs the boothtown post office. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Once you've gone 0-60 in one im sure you could live without the zed haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. If you don't want to spend money on an app this web test will also let you know if your speakers are out of phase. http://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php The website confirmed for me that my rear speakers were out of phase of each other, and I know I had to reverse the wires on one of them, but I didn't know which one. Then after using speaker pop app, It showed that every speaker in my car was on a positive (+) polarity where as rear left was negative (-). So simply swapped the wires on rear left and all sounds great now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. So after having a complete audio upgrade installed including head unit, all speakers, 4 channel amp and active sub in boot, you would think I was a happy camper, but my music always sounded off. After using the app 'Speaker Pop' it showed me that me rear left speaker was wired out of phase with all the others. Saved a ton of time and effort.
  13. HP Bracknell car park is full of em, there mine then a silver '07 350, blue '09 370, and a white 370.
  14. I have driven the P85D, it's defintley the future of automobiles, would also shut up all those 'ain't no replacement for displacement' folks. My American manager when he visits next in Feb has already stated his interest in having a ride the 'Zee' lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Not sure, will recieve the voucher in the next couple weeks, hopefully it's a shell one and I can use it on V-power so I can get my points aswell. If not will just sell the voucher to a friend for cash and they can use the voucher for their car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I bought and got fitted from Tyre Barn in Newbury, then had to go to Michelin website after and upload a pic my reciept to claim. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I just had 4 MPSS fitted and getting £50 back from michelin in fuel vouchers. Promotion runs until end of November. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Thanks I'll set them to 35. Yeh he did, I think it's like tribal art or something, not too sure looks cool though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. So the new wheels and MPSS have been Installled, really happy with the look and the handling has been transformed, taking corners at speeds not possible before, they haven't even worn in yet Michelin currently run a promotion where you get some money back in the form of fuel vouchers, I'm getting £50 back, promotion runs until end of November. P.s. Tyre Barn set all 4 on 32PSI stating this is correct, sounds a bit low to me, what do you think? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Any idea if these will fit the 370z ? Thanks in advance Honestly not sure, interior lights are pretty standard across all vehicles as far as I know / see, so I don't see why not. Maybe post link in the 370z forum and ask someone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Yeh can't wait to see them on, getting them fitted with 4 new MPSS tyres on the 31st, will post pics when it's all done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I did remember seeing a Bugatti, can't remember where now, maybe on Sunset Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Thanks guys good to know about this, I think I might try the ones from RimBlades Instead then, they are like a strip of tape with self adhesive on one side and you just wrap around, no clips like the Ringz and gator brands. They are only £25 on eBay too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. This time is was just a mondeo unfortunately (company paid car hire, that they let me use for a couple days vacation too!) Love the Mustang and Sting Ray, Shelby is my ultimate dream car! I had the old model V6 last time we went in 2014, in lime green convertible, we were racing Camero's of the lights on the Vegas strip haha, good fun. Picked up a speeding fine on the way from LA to Vegas (not so fun). Mulholland is a great drive when no one is in your way, however one road I found and loved in LA was Sepulveda Blvd, Starting from where is intersects with Wilshire and all the way north till it intersects with Mulholland. It runs along side the 405 highway. Was the best windy and wide road that you can cruise at high speed with little traffic, was fun keeping up with an M5 on a little spirited drive. You are right about the car culture, I saw some nice modified exotic cars in Beverly Hills area. Even saw lady Gaga leave the Emmys in her Royce. This was our lime green mustang from last time, not gonna upload a pics of the mondeo fromthis time (it's a mondeo lol) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Oh I thought the the protectors were universal ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
