  1. Yeah I think Aston’s are out of mind as it’s a GT car. The evora I haven’t looked at that much so will have a better look into that one but as you say if a decent one is to much then that’s out too. Yeah I’ll see what I can do for test drives maybe a Porsche will change my mind when I drive it. As for the Gtr’s I thought they were a lot higher around the 30’s but seeing there that low I might have a look. I will he taking servicing costs and maintenance cost into account as well and I know the Gtr is bad for this thanks for the help guys gives me a few ideas but still not certain on a choice yet
  2. Thanks for the help guys The Astons have dropped a lot in value which made me think of it nearer to 25k budget then an R8. I woukd prefer to stay away from anything above 25k so the Alfa and F type are out for me. The 911 is a good shout and personally I think would make the best car for me just I really don’t like them Test driving one for me is difficult as I’m only 24 and look about 18 so dealerships don’t really trust me understandably though my other option is a written of Audi R8 and fix it up, I have the people behind me to do it and help if anything goes wrong but it’s just the risk. Dont like Bmw’s, lotus Evora I have been looking at which is on my mind. As for merc cars there are really nice and the c63 sounds amazing but not sure on the handling of these especially when it’s round the forest and nippy corners.
  3. Hi ladies and gents, im in need of ideas of a daily + performance car. It’s probably been covered a few times but I really can’t decide. I like going out with a few mates and going round the forest and backroads for a spirited drive with them + work is only round the corner from me a few miles but I do like the luxury’s in a car for a nice long drive. I have a few few ideas of an Aston Martin V8 vantage or Audi R8, personally I’m leaning towards the R8 as it’s more of a supercar then the AM. The only problem with the R8 is the price of 33k as I would have to finance a fair bit of that. What i want: - budget 25k -Doesn’t need room or spacious -doesnt need rear seats - handling needs to outdo an Rx8 and 350z - power I would like Atleast 250bhp at fly - needs ac and radio daily luxury’s, rules our stripped cars - don’t really like the 370z (sorry ) - would prefer something more exotic - would prefer something newer 2007+ Porsche not really sure on but not driven one, to common is the downside for me. Maybe a lotus? Any help would be muchly appreciated thanks in advance
  4. Hi, ladies and gents Time to sell my 2007 350z HR GT, reason for selling is decided to save for a house and get something better on fuel. I bought the zed in January 2017 and it is a GT model with steering wheel controls and heated seats. The car is on 107k miles and will rise due to daily driving. Always run on Shell V Power. 2 keys + 1 valet key MOT runs out October 2020 Mod list: ENGINE: - Uprev (Horsham developments) 313bhp (switchable maps) standard, pops + bangs, valet, security - High idle fix (Horsham developments) - Hks panel filters - Gold thermal wrapped intake tubes (wrapped myself) - Bosch s5 0008 battery - Oil gallery gaskets replaced with new oil and coolant (Horsham developments) - TYC fan shroud CLUTCH/GEARBOX - Extreme clutch kit with single mass flywheel - Braided clutch top hose - Hardrace poly transmission mount SERVICING/DIFF BUSHES: - Diff and gearbox oil changed by Horsham developments + spark plug change - Coolant changed 2017 by myself then Horsham Developments In 2019 - 3x oil changes since I bought the car done by myself - Nothlane diff bushes - Recent oil change at 91.5k miles (Fuchs titian race pro) with new filter and drain plug EXHAUST: - Toyosport backbox - Toyosport y pipe EXTERIOR: - 3D gel number plates (road legal passed mot with them on) - Folding mirror mod (forum) - number plate led lights - New headlight bulbs 10k brightness -Bosch aeroblade wipers - stubby ariel BRAKES: - Ferrodo ds2500 brake pads - Black diamond brake discs SUSPENSION: - Tein s tech lowering springs - Front underside supporting brace - W brace has been rust treated and hammerite painted - Eibach adjustable anti roll bars front + rear INTERIOR: - Interior led lights - Repainted gloss black interior door handles (painted by myself) - Pioneer sph-da120 touch screen radio with steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and apple car play - Aluminium interior vent trim (forum) Just had windscreen replaced The car is a daily driver so could use a few touch ups. Bad points: Centre console has scratches (common problem) Wheels need a refurb Backbox has a rattle (inside the back box) Mechancally this car needs nothing and has the common problems fixed. Bit of a touch up on the outside and it’ll be a wonderful car. Can’t see any problems with the car in the foreseeable future.

  5. Dunno if your still after them but a seller might have some on here I bought a undertray from
  6. Seen this in person and it looks beautiful haven’t been to Winchester in months yet so might just have a look if I’m ever there again
  7. You don’t need to do the pedal dance. I only did the pedal dance when I cleaned the throttle bodies. Hopefully you got it sorted today

    What is this?

    I had one loose on mine and took it off till I had the clips to attach it back on and it didn’t do no harm. I think it exposes more of the radiator if you take it off irc. You can see them if you look through the grille of the bumper
  9. In Southampton Shirley area last night, I think you flashed me but I was to late as starring at your car sorry
  10. Guessing you got the standard orange ones? try zmanalex or torqen have new for £32 each
  11. My HR sits just below 30 maybe 28ish and that’s at 650-750rpm
  12. I wanted to spit flames but it isn’t as easy as my rx8 was
  13. Throttle response is better, didn’t make a massive difference. I believe it was around 20bhp but didn’t really bother me as I knew not to expect much. Pops and bang map is fun though
  14. I’ll be working so won’t be able to make it but enjoy the view guys
  15. I’m from Southampton and would be up for a meet, I go down Portsmouth now and again
  16. I got use to the light being on now. I had my idle fixed then had a remap straight after, you might save a bit on the uprev as I believe you need the licence to sort the idle out
  17. Horsham sorted my idle out on my HR and removed the immobiliser and the little red light stays on now. Can cover it or just leave it if it doesn’t bother you
  18. My zed was off the road for 4 months and the battery went flat but charged it up and works perfectly, is a risk of it completely dying though
  19. Just remembered my insurance company wanted a photo of my driving licence but I never got round to it and I only have a month left of insurance. They didn’t change my monthly payments in anyway, I’ll have to double check now
  20. Clean the motors, easy diy and I did it and only took a few hours

    Undertrays

    Torqen has a service hatch, much better then standard. Can’t go wrong with it Torqen currently on sale too
  22. I thought they can’t change it as both parties agreed to it at the start. Best call them, I’ll be watching mine if yours has changed. Unless you havent told them something when taking out your policy such as convictions, claims etc as I know these will affect your product straight away.
  23. Parked outside a house in Shirley (Southampton) looks standard, non gt
