i don't think he was complaining about the zed,

I would guess Rabster - judging by the eBay user name. was mobile browsing on my phone, the writing is small i'm like a mole in daylight

Gotta stick to the faithful Nissan If that were true, then in car terms i'm a cheating whore

No summer tyre is going to be good in the snow. I get by quite happily with them on. You do have to clench your cheeks sometimes and its an interesting way to learn to control the rear in a slide. Basically go into every corner expecting to slide, therefore it shouldnt be a suprise. Take it steady. Use the gears and don't touch the brakes. If your at all paranoid about crashing or arnt confident in your skills leave the car at home. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Completely debadge it. If you don't like it you can always add new style badges back on after. I personally think the Nissan burger is an ugly badge. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

The xfr is a cracking car, can't really go to wrong with that choice. Other options would be the m5 and the merc equivalent. And if you like jap then the Lexus version thing can't remember its designation. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

For most car owners who don't mod their car, any kind of nodding is chav. Jag purists would say I've chav'd the jag. But at the end of the day we all mod our cars for ourself and not others, so who cares. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I would suggest anything but a nurrish nav. Cookbot was doing a very good system. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

if it looks like it can feature on the next f&f movie then it has reached some element of chav.

mine has boost from the sc as low as 2k rpm. i'm not having to wait for boost at all.

SC but i'm biased. plus on the zed its more cost effective

down hill slope and a prevailling wind. brummie cops should start sending up an apache helicopter, any sign of street racing it just lets loose some hellfire rockets job done.

have got it on my hands before, but not delibertly dipped my whole hand.

may well be just need to do a match up in daylight to see if it works properly Currently running carbon airbox, Bigger super charger pulley, High flow cats, and a sports exhaust, next job is fix the rust Its never fixed, its the law of jaguar, when one thing is fixed, something else breaks. but yes it has re instilled confidence in the engine now the tensioners have been done. its run fine most of the time, just have different issues. at differnet times, but with the new pulley in place apparently it renders sport mode unneccassary. so i'm excited to find out what sport mode is going to be like, as i might need some baby wipes; for when i follow through. i'll let you know when i get back from york. its not as bad as it looks, and its about the third time i've stripped it back that far, so i'm getting good at it, but it makes a huge difference with the likes of tony doing it as he knows the cars insideout. For such a big engine bay, you'd think there would be loads of room round the engine. but its been shoe horned in. you basically need the hands of a small child to work on the car. lots of extender bars, and flexi joints on tools.

For the last 2 months the engine hasn't bee running as smooth as i'd like, added to that the fact that the timing chains and tensioners had never been replaced it was about time the engine saw some TLC and a bit of an upgrade. and it was making some noises it shouldn't have been,. she was also pissing oil on to the manifolds, had a hissing noise, and no power under 2k revs. some of these i already knew the cause to but others i was not so sure. so this was the engine bay at the startof the job; not into bad a shape but not as clean as it could have been So the first job was to strip down the engine so all parts were accessable and work could commence. first job was the spark covers coolant hoses and air filter and pipe next was all 8 of the coil packs and the rocker covers, at the same time Tony was also removing the belts and chains you can see he old lower SC pulley as well as where all the belts and pulleys were once that was all off the supercharger came out, its an absolute pig as the inductionelbow at the back of the engine has to come off but its an arse of a job, so i was glad tony was doing that. once off i could check the standard of the Supercharger, and thankfully it was all looking good. if a little oily with those off it was time to take the charge coolers off, which are very easy, compared to everything else. Tony then re fitted the new tensions and chains in record time. (he's done it so often i think he can do it with his eyes shut. basically i had the version 2 set. which were part plastic and part metal. the plastic degrades over time and bang it all comes apart. i now have the new version 4 set in there. which are actually off the new 2012 XK and they are all metal. they aren't supposed to fit, but the jag guys have modified them for the older engine. this should mean the engine is good for many more miles now. so before we put the engine back together i decided it was a great time to paint stuff so it was time to strip the old paint off and thats basically where i go to with the guys at paragon design before i had to go and catch my train home. and left the car in their capable hands. PART 2 So thursday comes around and i get a call from tony, i can;t collect today as we need some new parts that we weren;t expecting. but on the good side we worked out where the annoying hissng was coming from. basically they had refitted it all, took it for a test run, and the charge coolers weren;'t cooling, in fact they were very hot, which is not good. it turns out the coolant ump for the super charger wasn;t working properly. but thankfully tony took his uprated performance one off his car and fitted it to mine. next issue was it seems the MAF had failed and not the HO2 that i thought. so when i got up their on friday, tony and i were ringing round our contacts to see if we could get one in ASAP. sadly we couldn't get one today, so i had to drive very gently home on my dodgy maf. but tony has sorted a new MAF for collection from Jaguar tomorrow morning for on my way up to york.. so happy days. so on to the good news my engine was back together and it looked something like this. This is my new ally dipstick my new oil cap my new water cap and the real carbon and the fake carbon don;t look bad sat next to each other either Now i got home as the light was failing so these aren;t the best phone pictures, but it gives a good idea. but the guys have used jaguar Amaranth purple paint which is very high in metallic content so in the light it looks very nice. I still need to add in the lettering to the coil pack covers, i need to cut them first, just got to decide if i use silver or chrome. and i also forgot to take a picture of my new hood lining, i know it sounds sad, but i think you guys would really like it. its quite special. anyways, i know its not Zed related, but i thought you lot might enjoy all the pictures. and i'll try and add some more when i get my good camera out and some decent light

I have both, originally started on rainx got the PIAA stuff, still have alot of it, but went back to rainx, i think it was better. I'm actually looking at getting duxback. which looks even better

i don't mind that. can;t say i'd do it myself, but i don't mind it.

They built a toll road to bypass the place, why not just add a 50ft wall as well. i would say nuke the place as well, but there are quiet a few people from the area i actually like. as for the road racers, it was interesting them saying its not kids, but middle aged men. midlife crisis anyone. actually thinking about it, its the original F&F generation from the first film, just got to a point where they have the cash to race now for real lol.
