  1. in its modded state i think 7.5-8k is what it would shift at for a quicker sale. dealers won't really take mods in to account on PX so they'd possibly only offer you 4.5 -6k on px i put my S2000 back to stock and sold it in 7 days for the asking price. i didn't do that with my zed and had to px it and not for the amount i wanted. at 10.5k i think you;ll still have the car at christmas. best of luck with what ever you choose to do and i hope you get your asking price. and new toy.
  2. lol i remember seeing this on our drive down yesterday, looked hideous
  3. you can get 10.5 at the rear with out arch work if you get the right offset same as you can get 9 up front
  4. cheapest one son pistonheads is just under £18k, i swear they are going up in value. last year there were a few at around £15k
  5. Extract taken from http://uk.autoblog.com/2011/05/27/lexus ... il-to-imp/ Lexus has once again triumphed in the JD Power customer satisfaction survey, taking top spot in both the manufacturer and model categories. The Lexus IS came first in the long-running survey, while the RX took third position, helping the manufacturer take a record eleven years at the top. But while Lexus owners are driving around with smug grins on their faces, Vauxhall and Ford drivers are easily recognised by their scowls – the Ford Ka was ranked bottom in the poll while Vauxhall was the worst performing manufacturer as a whole. While the Lexus IS scored 85.4 percent, just pipping the Honda Accord's 85.2 percent, the Ford Ka came last out of the 108 cars featured, with a score of just 74.1 percent – well below the industry average of 79.4 percent. The soon to be replaced Kia Rio was just above the Ka with 74.6 percent, while the Vauxhall Corsa also won little favour with 74.9 percent. Jim Holder, editor of the survey's compiler What Car? said: "Lexus's achievement is remarkable. Eleven years at the top of Britain's most thorough customer survey is testament to its ability to build great cars and unstinting attention to customer service. The individual results for the IS and RX, with first and third highest overall satisfaction scores, should also give buyers of these cars unrivalled peace of mind." The survey assesses cars on four key areas – vehicle appeal, quality and reliability, ownership costs and dealer satisfaction – and looks at vehicles that are an average of two years old. Top five models: 1 Lexus IS - 85.4% 2 Honda Accord - 85.2% 3 Lexus RX - 84.3% 4 Honda CR-V - 84.2% 5 Toyota Prius - 83.9% Bottom five models: 104 Mitsubishi Colt - 75.3% 105 Suzuki SX4 - 75.0% 106 Vauxhall Corsa - 74.9% 107 Kia Rio - 74.6% 108 Ford Ka - 74.1% Top five manufacturers: 1 Lexus - 84.5% 2 Honda - 83.3% 3= Jaguar - 82.5% 3= Skoda - 82.5% 5 MINI - 82.2% Bottom five manufacturers: 24 Mitsubishi - 77.3% 25 Peugeot - 77.1% 26 Chevrolet - 76.6% 27 Suzuki - 76.4% 28 Vauxhall - 76.3%
  6. the track bit with the music made the hair on my neck stand up. stunning car. and the only one i haven't owned to give me an almost full honda performance set. had the CTR, the S2000, with the NSX i would jsut need an ITR and i feel i would be complete. but the ITR holds no draw to me and only the NSX i feel is the next honda i would want. honda are the only car company that i've bought from twice. never normally go back to the same brand twice, but they have been good.
  7. would love to say yes this is my new baby, but sadly not, will have to wait a while for one of these. maybe the next one.
  8. after seeing the stupid road race video i thought i would contribute something a bit more classy. a video of a decent car in the right environment being what it is.....stunning. its one of my dream cars,
  9. ricey you up for a home invasion on monday? me and husky will be coming back past you hopefully with my new baby.
  10. that was a pristine example new owner is going to be very lucky
  11. wedding reception followed by a road trip and my new car hopefully
  12. i think the car needs more to it to carry it off, maybe bigger wheels and a body kit. might work better if you'd done the bonnet and roof in carbon. hexis is good stuff. speak to RT Performance with their 30% off its not a bad idea, and from what i've seen and heard their work is top quality. or if you're not able to travel that far, i can supply you with hexis vinyl in a range of colours; big enough to do a bonnet or roof. or both. you can then go back to your local guy, or have a go yourself. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=49257&hilit=+rtcustomz
  13. looks really interesting, i may well go this route as well. got a year to go, but i'll sell my phone on something like mazuma, buy a new phone out right and swap to giffgaff. i may even keep my current phone as its been so good.
  14. my wife has a hyundai IX35 its a 2 litre diesel good mpg top spec 2wd version of the 4wd they do, and i think that was just in at 20k, really nice car, v comfy and actual got a bit of poke to it. and i enjoy driving it. might be worth a look
  15. first upgrade was air filter to a k&N typhoon system then exhaust, then bodykit then wheels then i sold it
  16. i always thought i was more a Father Fintan Stack and husky was Father Cyril MacDuff
  17. so is this official i'm now the forum moron?
  18. when you factor in the 12 hours needed to fit them, they aren't as cost effective as you'd think for bhp per pound spent.
  19. yes its driving me nuts, thats why i put in the Flux capacitor comment, i can;t take the thread seriously until its grammatically correct.
