hello hello

welcome and she's a fantastic smile inducing car

I've been told the extra cost of the invidia goes towards a higher quality grade of stainless steel, and that's not just on the pipes but all the fittings too. Sounds good to me so I'm busy saving up for my own set as I'm sick of exhausts rusting away on me!

W8 Passat estate, and it most certainly was a sleeper! He also had it converted to gas so it was cheap to run too. He used to get kicks from sticking the back of fast cars in an estate, the look of confusion as they failed to leave him for dust Hehe, I can imagine the looks you got in the child parking zone, though from what I've seen you might have been one of the few people there using it properly!

Beaconsfield services is a lot closer to Kent than Reading is, so depending on the when I might be interested.

Have you bookmarked searches on autotrader, piston heads and gum tree? I'd check those every day when I was looking for one. Wound up being the first to message the guy over this zed which helped me be the first to put a deposit down

gratz on getting your zed driving as she should one of the reasons i went for the zed over others is the flat torque curve, just really fancied having all that raw grunt over the bulk of the rev range

ho;a and fingers crossed you can get your butt in a zed asap

some people do stats, others don't. i'm far more likely to remember some stats than i am someone's name when looking at zeds one dealership tried to persuade me their DE engine was actually the HR ("i spoke to the previous owner and they told me it is the new engine in there") and the guy i got my zed from told me the HR engine was from the 370z. what i think might be true is the DE engine was the rev up and i guess the 370 engine was based on the HR, but that's going forwards not backwards. either way i knew what I was looking for and got the engine i wanted

A: - I was never aware of the Nismo being lower, but at the same time never seen one in the flesh/stock etc. B; - if you were looking at getting 2nd hand Nismo suspension, you'd be lucky. No genuine Nismo's in the UK. So you'd be sourcing from Jap/USA C: - Just cheaper, easier and probably the most sensible option to order a set of springs. I think OP was only talking about the Nismo as a ball park figure to aim for on a drop. Ie if Nismo think 20mm is a good drop then it's good for him too. Don't think he was actually after Nismo kit.

Ha!! Id agree!! Although i have an answer to the paint problems!! http://www.350z-uk.c...hip-protection/ well now that's just over engineering! why got to all that hassle when you can just get something off the shelf? http://www.wilko.com/textured+paintable-wallpaper/super-fresco-textured-vinyl-wallpaper-white-70074/invt/0221315

so obviously you'll have to get a respray too then Well it goes without saying!! Just about to buy some gloss black from the decorator centre! get the biggest tins they have. you get a much stronger finish if you pour the paint on rather than brush it on. it's a fantastic fix to the zeds soft paint problem. nice big thick gloopy coat of paint

so obviously you'll have to get a respray too then

nono, you said your wife and 3 kids, so the passenger seat is already taken my last boss had a VW with a W engine in it (2 V's slapped together), his son used to call it the rocket car

welcome and nonsense, everyone knows red ones got faster. the only counter to that is a go faster stripe. most cost effective performance mod you can do! gratz on your new car though, even if it does need a bit of paint to unlock it's full potential

wait what? you can cram 3 kids into the zeds boot? i can't even get one full sized packaged computer in the back!

looks like the man works hard to bring us our shinies

Love that new car feeling where you're just itching to get behind the wheel again I've found 3rd gear can still pull harder than the rubber can grip, but the tyres mine came with are cheap ones so will be interesting to see how much that changes when I get some good shoes on. I've done a trip to the shops just for tea bags...

if it fits, it was meant to be

Got a friend who lives in Tring and for the last year while saving up for my zed I've been keeping an eye out for the zed that's parked down the street from her. So here's a shout out to the owner in case they are a forum member

anything that makes the fuel move about in the tank can change the reading. so it will change if you go up or down a hill. also long corners can hold the fuel at an angle long enough to register a change. so it might just have been while you were getting up to speed that the gauge went down.

let me put it this way, the 2 zeds i took for a test drive both showed an average mpg of 9. on the trip home i got an average mpg of 32! so yeah, it can make a hell of a difference how you drive her

ooh, twin turbo, i am green

hola

gratz on the new car
