nice pictures

looks good

Pm me them! Lol. as long as they have cloths on you'll be fine

try it and see if you like it lots like it; but its not everyones cup of tea. very competant car and a great starter car for the world of RWD

i've toy'd with the idea of a bike i love them, and although i love sports bike i don't think my dodgy knee would cope with the riding position for longer than 30 min. was planning on getting a honda shadow or equivilant to do my CBT and then make some decions form there.

originals were about twice the price, but they don't make them anymore. plus the likwid art ones can be got in a range of different colours,

as long as the tyres match across the axle you'll be fine. some will tell you that the car will burst in to flames if you don't have the same on all 4 corners but thats BS. same all round is optimum, same across axles is acceptable

rowing was good this morning

up to M

british military precision

its not as if the french have more speakers......bloody surrender monkeys i've enjoyed this as i've known alot of what was due to come; i have a friend on the inside but was still amazing seeing the stuff in hte flesh

sounds like the sodding french have taken over

the LED seating stuff is clever

same here tyre profile plays a huge part with these tyres to how well they perform. and i'm on a low 30 profile and i bet coldel is too. i still stand by the point that having run the falkens on both the S2000 and the XKR both on low 30 profiles i've been extremely happy with them.

good luck with the project, they look awesome with a wide arch kit and a set of superlite mini mag wheels. back of the mini world mags have shed loads of stuff and they are so cheap to mod. as its a first car i'm guessing to keep insurance down you won;t be putting a huyabusa engine in it just yet or doing the type R conversion with a clubman nose to make it fit

The greddy or the tannabe would be top of my list. qulaity systems from a well known brand

i'm sure we had a thread already, buti may be confusing it with one of the many car clubs i've been on

Yokahama AD08 review here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokoh ... a-AD08.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yokohama V103 review here (known as the Advan sport) http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokoh ... -Sport.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bridgestone S001 review here http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Bridg ... a-S001.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ S001's were the stock tyre for the S2000, not bad in the dry, but unpredictable in the wet, many people binned them off the car as they had a reputation of being crap for the car. not run them perosnally, but seeing how unpopular they were on a car that came with them from the factory kind of puts you off them. as for the yoko's i do have a soft spot for them. of the 2 i'd say the AD08's are the better tyre. again run by a few on the S2000 club who said they were great. although it looks like atrack tyre they said it was pretty good through standing water etc. and yoko do have a trend for making sexy tyres.

lots of options, milltek is nice as are the tarmac options, think its a case of choose your exhaust then choose a suitable supplier.

as long as its progressive there's nowt wrong with letting go. i have falkens in 285/30/20 and 255/35/20 and i struggle to get them to let go on anything other than gravel and thats with TCS turned off and nearly 400BHP of SC'd V8 behind it. in the wet, on roundabouts, country roads, standing water etc its well planted. now the pirelli Pzero assimetricos on the other hand felt horrific in rain. you could feel the backend wonder at speed. not a pleasant experience. so i think that the issue with the tye for the zed is most likely to do with the fact that the zed needs bigger wheels as standard with a lower profile and a wider footprint, for those that feel they need more grip. speak to husky he had 19's with 295/30/19 on the back and god knows what on the front and he said he had more grip than he needed and that was with sessantas. just couldn't break traction. the thing is thats all well and good if you want grip that sticks like sh1t to a bears arse. but the zed drives better with a progressive setup. you want the car to be able to kick out on occasion, a bit of gentle oversteer at the rear. yes the car is setup for more understeer, but thats what nissan setup to make it safer for numpties. if the zed was meant to be imovable nissan would have put bigger wheels on. they didn't they put 18" 245/45/18's and 225/45/18's on so the car had character, some play, a bit of excitement. but not enough to kill you the first time you sit in it.

its better than the toyo's but everyone seems to think they are gods gift to jap rubber. personally i've found the 452's are alot better than the T1R's

its gorgeous, apparently there is only one and its in the heritage museum at the moment up in cov, it was crashed back in the 60's and then rebuilt in the 70's, but it never raced, as the gt40's came out and jaguar realised the XJ13 required a massive amount of work to make it competitive against ford.

alot of insurance prices comes down to area and job title. yes accidents and no claims points etc all play a part. when i swapped from the MR2 to the zed it dropped by £200 but thats because the mr2 was mid engined and rear wheel and prone to crashing the s2000 was more expensive than the zed by £60 again it has a reputation for crashing. but i have been very suprised at the XKR cheapest yet. i pay £380 for 380 bhp its like a £ per BHP

i know what you mean, and looking at the toyo replacement for the T1R isn't going down brilliantly, i'm watching this one closely. got the 452's at the mo, but might swap to something else in 18 months 2 years time when these run out. had the 452s for 12 months already and 10,000 miles. i think they have at least another 15,000 or 20,000 left in them.
