  1. perosnally i'm an SC man myself, i like the fact its more like NA than turbo is. ok so the power is less but its there though out the rev range instead of nothing, nothing, nothing BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST
  2. sorry not the best pic currently grey, which looks alright, but bit tired, thought about red, but it would be too dominating i thought plan is black with gold lettering. i reckon black with turquoise on yours would work well. subtletly is the key
  3. Replied, and here is the best pic i can find of the gunmetal calipers
  4. i actually voted black, the red does look good and goes very well, but my thoughts were, go black and then use the lettering to pick out the colour. i've been having the same thoughts about my own brakes, and have decided to go black (currnetly gun metal) but use gold to pick out the lettering on them. (to match the gold wheels) the reason i say this, is that you have alot more options in colour when it comes to vinyl so getting the right shade of what you wnat is alot easier. you'd be peeved if you had 2 tones of blue down there. if they are being painted do you know what they're painting them with? if its not specific caliper paint any kind of brake fluid on them can strip the paint off. Caliper paint has a specific polymer base to it to make it resiliant to brake fluid and dust etc.
  5. its not the kit i question its the original fitter i'm sure you've done a top job
  6. perosnally i think its best to buy a car that comes FI from the factory, or one that someone else has done the work already. best example of a supercharger setup i saw on this forum so far was Ian, he used the HKS setup and it looked almost OEM another one to watch is Keyser, as he's rebuilding one someone else did. ones not to follow are nurrish, if you ever wanted a fireball waiting to happen follow his.
  7. love the little 500 abarth's awesome little cars
  8. south yorkshire is more north than south
  9. night blue is that the one thats almost black or are we talking about azure blue? if its azure have a look at Wasso's car i think he has gunmetal rays on his
  10. My car park ... I can do what I want should have been in the disabled bays its the closest i could think of as they don't have an old peoples parking bay. and attak'z not pregnant as far as i know
  11. You'd need one of these http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/HD_Snow_Foam_Kit_Karcher_KEWNA_1.html
  12. if it was a dealership you'd have some comeback, but if it was a private sale then its very much caveat emptor
  13. RBF is more than adequate
  14. Daddy where to Zeds go when they die? well son they go to the Zed shed of course, where they believe in reincarnation!
  15. over 5000 bhp Disclaimer: this is not my driveway or my cars i'm just taking the pi$$ Skyline is looking v good Irfan, reminds me i have to reply to your PM also didn't realise you still had the zed GLWTS
  16. i found that the zeds driving posisition used to set my hip off, i was fine in the MR2 roadster, the S2000 both had less substantial seats. But in the Zed it didn't matter what i tweeked the seating to i could never stop my hip going funny on a long drive. If you wanted comfort for you back i must say the Jag seats in the XK are possible some of the most comfy i've sat in. not alot of lateral G support but it doesn;t tend to bother me when it feels like your in an arm chair. i drove it back from edinburgh to suffolk and could quiet happily have turned round and driven all the way back. taking this in to thinking, i've heard that merc seats are on a similiar par when you look at the higher end cruisers like the CLK500s or CL500's etc my guess is some of the bigger BMW's would probably be the same comfort.
  17. not heard of nilfisk before, price seems good, my baby bosch could do with repalcing at some point, only down side is that the snow foam lance i have has a bosch adapter. could have to buy new adapter etc.
  18. yes she is, but not on the servicing thing, that would be the place i use at martlesham that knows the zed.
  19. does the porker not have launch control? which would technically make it far more likely to be near its 0-60 time 0-60 times etc are all very good but there are very few drivers that can actually achieve them, i would say the zed is closer to 6 than it is to 5.
  20. how do you know that yours is 327bhp? is it remapped? stock zed is 309bhp
  21. its an XJS wide body conversion

    Neuton tyres

    Fair do's if their isn't alot in it then its not so bad, the rule tends to best apply to those with 1 tyre on 2 mm tread and the opposite tyre is brand new
  23. the same place the normal jack goes
