  1. two things: CREDIT RICH PARENTS Or the obvious one, work hard in a decent paid job. +1 sorry jay but you can;t plus one that. as for docwra's original post i agree, i bought all my cars outright for cash; paidd for by me, my parents never helped out; if i wanted a car i funded it might self, and even mananged to do it in my last 2 years at uni. i sometimes think its why we see so many crashes, i worked my way up through the cars, built my experience and my skill through time and worked my way up. without being rude, i don't tend to take much notice of the very young drivers on forums giving their driving "advice". i tend to listen to those with experience or the background for it. yes there are some exceptions for instance lewis hamilton is younger than me, and i would take his advice quiet happily. but the local barry boy in his boo-yaka-shaa corsa with resistor mod and drilled holes in his exhaust can jog on. (i'm sure most people if they are really bothered can work out for them sleves where they fall on that scale )
  2. i just have one like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bluetooth-ELM-327 ... 19c6bd2474 from what i remember it worked on the zed, and it defo works on the XKR, so should be fine. admittedly i have had to hit the check engine code button a couple of times to pull the codes off, but it does read and clear them as well as feedback to the other stuff.
  3. nope its a jag skin for my jag my dials are all turquoise and i found a special skin that mimics the jag dials with red needles and buttons but turquoise dials looks very cool at night
  4. not the same in the UK i locked my wife in thecar at the video shop by accident a few years ago, and yes the alarm does keep going off she was not best pleased when i came back
  5. i have an skin for it that means all the dials match my car dials
  6. they are so fat that they actually have their own gravitational pull *fact* the chassis was built from rare heavy metals from an asteroid *fact* the engine has won awards *fact* its one of VBH's favourite cars *fact* and now that i know she likes fat things i know i'm in with a chance
  7. just lift the fuse box lids, all the writing inside will be japanese
  8. in the first post what does PID stand for?
  9. i use it with my jag, but until i get a decent phone older i've not tested all the other functions out. i just use it for code reading
  10. thats interesting as its sold on here by some as the best option for the most gains,
  11. if you get the car up to 88mph and you have the upgraded flux capacitor fitted you can go back in time; well it did on mine anyway
  12. there is a boot release under the rear strut brace From - me being a genius

    Boxster S

    It's hardy cheap it touching m3 prices. Have you ever driven a boxster if you have you would understand. I personally perfer my zed but only because it's modded. I'm Not sure if ekona will agree with me but the boxster is actually better chassis wise. If you put the 3.8 block in there which people have done on most roads it would take your 911. Mid engine is just so balanced. yes but you read the other threads on here, like, why is my 350Z so heavy, how can i improve the interior of my car, how can i get more power in my zed as its not as fast as i thought it would be etc, its all down to the fact that the Zed was built to a budget, and if more had been invested in it it could have been a better car, but cost even more, and who would pay top dollar for a nissan, when they could have a porshe for the same money? You might be right there. But then again, thats one of the reasons I went for the Z. Simply because they are a lot rarer and I like to be different. On my daily drive into work I must see at least 6 boxsters every day. I also see loads of mx5`s, Audi TT`s, BMW z4`s, a couple of RX8`s, the odd s2000 etc... but I very rarely see any 350z`s (or even 370z`s for that matter). I may just see one zed a week at the most and ive yet to see another zed roadster on the road since I bought mine! Very good write up on the boxster tho, enjoyed reading that. i see a fair few zeds round my way, see about 3 or 4 a week, and as the prices have come down so much, all the zeds that used to be garage queens have now been sold and replaced with new garage queens and the new buyers use them more frequently. they aren't as rare as they used to be, still not as common as Z4's and TT and porsches etc. but not as niche market or rare as say something like a maserati.
  14. cracking piece of kit, at a bargain price already, probably the best kit around and the only one i would have fitted if i had a zed. already seesm like a give away. GLWTS
  15. i quiet like that with the targa would look mint all done up and a modern touch to it.
  16. a true definition of a crotch rocket quiet literally
  17. that is true; i'm in the process of ordering a dress to go with your new mangina on a serious note i have told him to go to the doctors, as he sounds like he is now smoking 60 a day; he's not in a good way, and needs better meds as he sounds like crap.
  18. i got it And me. Rich just likes to go off on one now and again yep
  19. have you grown a pair yet, or are you still having hay fever issues
  20. and the weight of the vehicle and the ride comfort go up the pi$$er the advantage of rubber tyres is they allow the vehicle to adapt to the surface as you travel across it; if the road was rubber it would change as you move across it,which could result in negative camber and all kinds of funny ride characteristics you wouldn't want in a car. not only that you'd be replacing the roads far more frequently as the rubber wares away quicker. and if you hit a curb in your tarmac tyres, you'll end up with terrible deformation.
  21. and then the MPG would be horrific as there would be way to much surface friction between tyres and a rubberr road surface. on a bonus though, falling over on tarmac would no longer hurt.
  22. its when its wet and then freezes, as water expands when it freezes, if there is an imperfection water runs into it, sits and then expands. add to that people then driving over it. it all slowly builds up. you could finish the surface so that it had no flaws there for water would run off and not cause issue. but you would then have a surface like teflon. and that doesn;t make for the best grip. swings and roundabouts. normal tarmac is fine, as long as its maintained. but there is your problem.
  23. its not the new E-type, its a custom built copy bit like the new lancia stratos
  24. alright replace nun's chuff with Gnats anus
