  1. As far as I know hes got a few bolt ons and tune. Fast Intentions exhaust, down pipe, carbon shaft + ECU Map plus some other bolt ons Claims to have made +160 whp and +200ft lbs over stock with tune and covered 10,000 miles Not bad for a car that weighs 1850kg. I think he wants to reduce the weight next. 600 bhp I think
  2. This can happen anywhere. Its probably due to economic reasons! A spate of claims, low uptake on insurance, many reasons.
  3. Follow me on Instagram Dreamer1566

  4. so what's it going to be? Not much out there that doesnt have huge repair costs or some issue or another. Have too live with whatever shortcomings your choice may have Mustangs do look good. The V8 sounds crazy. A rev off between that and the E92 M3. Something from the heavens
  5. jheeze.....and 145 in a 70? Would expect 9-12 months for that and a night in the cell. Depends on the day. Maintenance, what about an HR 08 09 as suggested earlier
  6. Saw that one this morning LOL. Seen couple ads where people are getting banned. Probably been ragged to the hills. The ad stated he had another project car. Interesting. Call and ask for the original plates. These guys and their private plates, messes up the whole process during sale. I had to wait 10 days to tax my 350z. He should change the plates back to originals now if its actually for sale! MOT history check and HPI from reputable site. See what hes been up to.
  7. pot luck with that. Extended test drive and just listening to the engine can help determine what state its in though
  8. haha come on dude, no ones competing with the US. The sheer numbers in places like California, Florida, Texas and New York. I've seen multi story 5 floor carparks brimming with just Modified Cars only on Youtube. We have a lot to be thankful for. USA and their car scene I saw the pink Zed with UK plates in one of those European meets. Its probably an old video though. Might be a bucket list to try get over to this in a few years time! Germany isnt that far lol This is international got people coming from Switzerland, Poland etc
  9. Leave it and keep looking. Youll find a better example
  10. The mpgs on the Mustang are similar to driving the 370Z in the city and A roads. 22 mpg is generous. There are a couple Mustangs around my area.
  11. Found a cool video. Apparently biggest Z meet in Europe is in Germany. People come from Switzerland, Poland etc to attend. Around 200+ Zeds from all eras. Im sure there are 100s more similar videos. LA, Wangan/Tokyo, Etc
  12. You can get a GTR circa £30,000 - £33,000 but 2009 with a high mileage. Theres one on autotrader for £28,000 but with near 110,000 miles. Roasted.... Maintenance on those will be several grand a year. 25k was going to say Z4 M which I would consider and save the rest of the money. Cayman 3.4 older, Lotus, TVR but how reliable are they? My colleague had the v8 Aston. Said nice car great sound visiting the dealer servicing enough said. GTR servicing costs, tires, brakes plus extended warranty at Litchfields. Id say have a spare £3k -£5k handy at all times lol. The older the worse it gets.
  13. cute car. I dont think the bmw 8 series in lane 3 will be moving over. Can barely see it. I wonder how this will fare against a mapped 240i or m2 competition or my colleagues 135! with 390 bhp. Interior is.......what it is...should have used a rebadged m2 steering wheel.....
  14. THe paint feels soft. some scratches may not heel A special highly elastic resin has been combined with a conventional clearcoat to increase the paint's flexibility. This has also increased its strength by raising the resin density. -The paint does not self-repair if scratches are deep enough to sever the bonds within the clearcoat or if the clearcoat has been peeled off. -The amount of time required for self-repair depends on the surrounding temperature and the depth of the scratch. In some cases, restoration may take up to one week. Makes sense now!! I had a deeper one on the roof. Sometimes the hard paste wax could be mistaken for a scratch also in my case. The only way around this is to get full PPF which also depending on depth of scratch may not self repair requiring a rewrap... I Was offered Supagaurd. All gimmicks. PPF is the best protection to be frank. A simple Carnauba wax treatment or some crystal protection should be enough as standard. A lot of detailing companies well the honest ones can give you advice on this. Hard protection = PPF or Wrap Soft Basic protection = Clearcoat protection products, Carnuaba hard paste wax, gtechniq ceramic coating. The paint on my moms ML320 1998 was a solid multi coat paint. She got smacked by a dozy driver. Took it to the garage and they simply wiped the scratch off.....Now thats scratch proof paint. That was the 90s though!
  15. 5k is a better guide for a decent spec
  16. Although the MK2 looks less aggressive it looks more up to date and less boy racer. It reinforces the road presence and gives it a super-car look. Only thing I'd swap is the Steering wheel and Seats in the Mark One with MK2 Recaro seats and the Updated Alcantara Nismo Steering Wheel. Maybe even the rear bumper from the mark two as Im not a huge fan of the mark 1 rear bumper. Someone already did the rear bumper swap on here.
  17. Good spot guys. Advance payment my backside. Despite the car being a slow seller still too cheap. Hopefully no one will fall for it. There was a 370Z online for £8000 with 125,000 miles but that was 4 months back. The minimum price should be 9k with 120 ish thousand miles. Keep looking I rather buy from a dealer with good reputation though.
  18. Spoke to the lady. Said her husband wanted to get the yellow inner lights like the blue one. Not so sure. The tricolore vinyl is very nice. French tourists will love that here in London. The sales guy wanted me to come back for a test drive. Tbh I only want to drive it if Im buying. Ill see at end of this year if no new Z on horizon then maybe but starting to like the M2 watching the reviews and edits on YouTube. Who knows.
  19. wish it was me but its a guy from France I think. Goes to the ring and has a 350z
  20. Thought Id contribute one post. I admit I dont know if this is relevant but if you arent a fan of Corbyn then check this. Even though hes got a history of flip flopping apparently on the issue of brexit. Interesting speech. Video I stumbled across.
