if it was actual Tan leather then yes it would look awesome, i love Alfa tan leather interiors they look the danglies. but in the zed its orange...bright orange. but i don;t mind it. looks good when clean, looks crap when dirty.

i learnt this: once logged in, click the forum tab first; then click "new content" once your in there everytime you clcik new content, it will alwyas take you back to it if you're in the forum area. if you go to your pm box and click it. you'll get the no content message. so you just click back on forum first. from what i can gather it works as a new content button for what ever section your in.

Ekona doesn't like the new song gangnam style as he thought it said nankang style!

My calendar says its ekonas birthday today; I'm sure he can correct me if i'm wrong, but if it is Happy birthday you grumpy old git!

I bought my 06 for £15k back in 2008 and sold it for £12.5k back in 2009

is it savilleclaus

best bit of advice rest is all good too :wink:

its called "the green deal" - however, this is effectively a loan or charge on the property - if you sell the house the charge remains on the property - to me this is not a good deal !! as prospective buyers will be turned off by the fact that not only do they have a mortguage to deal with but a loan thats the one, he is green deal accredited, but when you look at the costs associated with insulation its paid for very quickly. in comparison to something like a solar panel setup. and its something that apparently is going to be rolled out nationally and eventually every house will need to have a green deal certificate. might as well get in early and sort it.

i had great fun researching and learning, have to say i've very happy with my setup which cost me all in £400, and you'd spend about that on a decent soundbar. best bet is to go somewhere you can listen to them., and try and get one with a seperate sub

winter tyres will make a big difference to winter driving, but just becuase your neighbour made it doens;t mean you will. a lot of progress in poor weather conditions is down to the driver and their skill not what car it is and waht they have on the wheels. key tips - pull away in third - use the clutch and the bite point to rock the car in to momentum/movement - tickle the throttle like its a hair trigger on a bomb - use your gears to slow down - always use a high gear - don;t touch the brakes unless you have to, slow down with the gears - read the road in front, leave huge gaps to allow for emergency braking and the fact you're going to slide - in RWD steer out of the slide not into it. - go slowly, don;t power out of corners keep everything constant, no sudden steering or throttle or brake inputs - if it all goes wrong hold on tight, don;t shut your eyes and aim for the softest thing you can see (avoid posts etc)

My Dads just trained in something to do with this. from what i can gather there is a new thing coming out next year. and anyone looking at doing any kind of insulation work needs a home report of some kind. basically what my dad does is do the report for the house and it tells you what grant money and stuff you're eligable for and what options you have like loft, wall insulation etc. I can pass my dads details on to people if you want. i don;t fully understand the ins and outs of it as i wasn;t paying attention fully to what he was saying. but he'd defo give you some advice to point you in the right direction if that helps. like whats best value for money, who to speak to , what money is available in grants etc where to get it from etc.

never heard of them, check the tyre review website

thats what i have already

the R35 has been built to the extremems of its budget; i would say its a highly strung car, and this is evident from its service intervals and cost of replacement parts. i think the porsches are more spaced ou i wouldn;t say its had the cheapest parts put on it, but there will have had to of been some compromises in order to keep the costs down to compete with the likes of porsche etc. I'd rather buy a high performance car like that from a manufacturer whos soul purpose is performance cars. if you take your porsche 911 to a porsche garage they spend all their time working on 911's, caymans, boxters GT3 etc etc. you take you R35 to nissan Or even your 350Z or 370Z and we all know most of them can;t tell their arse form their elbow as most of the time they spend it working on micras.

need to dig the camera out. will do in a bit as i have some ebay selling to do

I was with you until you said that - an R35 being a classic example that outperforms, in so many ways, a whole host of so-called supercars - hence why any number of Pro racing drivers have chosen them. Better is subjective though. I'd rather have a rari or an AMG over a R35. If going fast is your only and main priority then maybe. was going to say the same, R35 might be faster round the track so to speak, but the interior isn't as nice as other cars.

I use the kestrl DAS 6 jobbie and its a cracking DA polisher

i would have thought it was body tape under the centre section and a screw/bolt in each end in the wheel arch section. that way they aren't visible as it looks like one of the fixings for the wheel arch liner. in fact you may even be able to use the wheel arch liner fixing at the bottom.

what exhaust is it?

don;t touch crapspeed stuff

you're another pub number quoter. "ah well my car has 300 Bhp" etc etc not every car is about how much torque and BHP its got. the GT86 is more about the driving experience, the feedback and the enjoyment it gives for being rewarding. my old MR2 roadster only had 140 bhp but was a fanatastic car to drive. my 306 gti6 had about 165 bhp and that was a cracking drive, the S2000 i had was only 220 bhp and that was a supurb drive. i might even be as bold to say all of them were a more involving and exciting drive than the 350Z. not that the zed isn;t good. but all of those cars when you get the apex of a bend just right made you feel supurb. my current car has about 440 bhp and in a straight line is awesome but take it down the back roads and b roads and its no where near as rewarding as say the zed, and compared to the cars mentioned above its just an lacking the same excitment. also on the back roads most of that power becomes irelevant when what you want is small light and nibble with a revvy responsive engine. I reckon the gt86 is going to be a very popular tuning platform.
