  1. Do you have numbered dust caps to get the right order each time or is like changing gears so you instinctively know the next move?
  2. When i say blast them, i mean rinse them. It was for dramatic effect. They are rinsed with rest of car after wash. I blast them first as you do then use whatever wheel cleaner/fallout remover i have to hand which gets to work whilst i snowfoam the rest of the car, then rinse, wash car, then wheels after with said left over water then rinse off with pressure washer and dry. Works for me.
  3. Welcome along
  4. At what point does it not become a zed anymore, serious question. What has to change for it not to be what it was, the chasis?
  5. Same as davey. I use whatever water is left from main wash to clean the wheels, goes down well with the eco types in the street. I then get the pressure washer out and blast them with 500ltrs which makes Yorkshire Water shareholders happy. I usually then start on my car if the wife is happy with how ive done hers.
  6. Same as above, fantastic kit but if you spend a long time in stop/start traffic you don’t need to do leg day at the gym.
  7. Bet he wishes he was head of persimmon homes, wouldn’t need to be as sneaky then.
  8. I now understand that famous Eric Cantona quote. why the seagulls follow the trawler, its not because they think fishermen will throw fish into the sea BUT because the seagulls know they have to throw them back because of EU quotas. Clever seagulls. I just wish the whole brexit debacle would hurry up and finish. It was always gonna be a lose/lose senario. I didnt vote and i wouldnt vote if there was another chance as i do not know enough or have access to the complexities involved and neither do most people. Like has been said before, it was a case of saying what people wanted to hear. The main problem now when you turn on the radio is most businesses still dont know how/what to plan for.
  9. Welcome to the club, although you did get me very curious when you started with 250z.
  10. What jcurtis said, welcome
  11. Welcome along
  12. The front brace and w brace from ultra racing both fit in the boot of the 350. I had both in when i took it to garage recently. They need to be at a particular angle but def fit.
  13. Should be a great battle, I think the zed will have the slight edge in the dry but the corsa in the wet. I would spend the £500 on adjustable camber arms and toe bolts and get a full setup done (granted you would have to buy second hand parts) for the budget but you can make the most out of the tyres then.
  14. Welcome Chris
  15. Welcome jk. Should be an intresting build.
  16. This is the thread i did, think it has links to other threads also.
  17. I got these osram bulbs when i changed mine, dont have any problems with them. Did have to fit resistors on rear indicators so they blink correctly,
  18. Yes, both mine packed in at the same time as well. There is a thread on that too. Must be common(ish) fairly straight forward to replace.
  19. Welcome along
  20. Can we move onto Brexit yet?
  21. Depends what you class as clean. It doesnt replace your usual shampoos. Its an extra stage to soften traffic film and larger debris and you rinse/jetwash off before moving in with the mitt and shampoo resulting in less “muck” on your vehicle for the contact stage so less chance of swirls. Having used various snowfoams and selling them, I would estimate even the best snowfoams only get rid of approx 1/3 of what your mitt (or sponge if your into self harming) does but with next to no damage where as no matter how careful and great your technique and products used are, theres always a chance of scratching and swirls when your moving something against the paintwork. Secondly though, and most importantly for some, it just looks cool.
  22. I agree @Ekona i didnt mean to imply going EV is the right thing to do, I just meant going greener in general to help the planet regardless of global warming. Whether EVs turn out to be the saviour, im on the fence like most people on the forum. What i am trying to get at is the mass consumer market need a serious tempting offer to change so until a nissan leaf is cheaper than a micra or the teslas have a 10 min charge point at every petrol station and car park its gonna be a long slow uptake.
