love my desire too, glad there is a cheap an easy fix. if it was an apple i'm sure you'd have to spend a billion pounds and send it off to atlantian fairies for a fix.

comes up every year, and every year they still make me laugh

checking other sources as well the more the better really

no mate won't be at goodwood

Didn't realise you were there, I would have said hello , we need to have name badges made... were you one of the beardies ? yes i was one of the beardies that turned up just before 10; i was the one in the s2k glasses, GAP jumper, asked about glass cleaning and the DA's, looked like i had only had 3 hours sleep etc etc

neither fair doo's i'm extremely tired, so my general perseption of life at this precise moment is a little cloudy.

are you bored or drunk hugh?

maybe take a flask of hot water with you especially on days when you plan to fill up. you cna then either pour it over the stuck area. or if they doesn't work, you can drink it to keep warm while you wait for the AA to come and reful you.

good work

I didn't know Husky was BLACK yes husky and i are both black; didn;t you know i'm from brixton

camskills would be my first choice, if they're out then the tyremen would be a close second choice. if you can;t find any sessantas my 2nd choice for the zed if you don't like toyo's would possibly be the uniroyals rainsport 2's or the khumo ku31's i'd also say the falken 452's but some don't like them on here; and that could be to do with the zed being heavy and the stock profile allowing to much movement for that tyre.

cheers tim for organising this; and thanks to the lads at meguairs, had a really enjoyable day, and learnt some new things. i too will be putting the DA on my list of things to get.

that is indeed my old car in the picture; if i got them again i wouldn't get them in a colour but in black like husky. they are not perfect but about 2 weeks after fitting them on to my newly refurbed wheels i got forced into a curb by an oncoming 4x4 who wouldn't move over and i curbed the wheel; but the protectors took all the abuse. and because they were fitted i just shrugged and went; meh! if i had not had them fitted i would have been fuming after spending 200.00 for a refurb only to screw one up. for piece of mind they were great. they aren't permanent, and if you get them in black, then from most directions they look almost invisible. admittedly from a side profile looking down the side of the car they do stick out a little.

Uniroyals RS2 arent an out in out sports tyre IMO but its quieter than GSD-3's and are epic in the wet, really really good. Dry grip is 7/10 but wet grip is pretty much equal to dry grip no joke. The sidewalls are a little soft and they dont have the best grip outright. Also I didnt find them as good as any other tyre when hot they perfer warm/wet. partly why i reccomended them, tends to suit the british weather well and to be honest most people on here aren't pushing the car hard enough to really loose out with them. agreed if your an agressive driver or do track days they may not be the best tyre but for price and grip offered you can;t go to wrong with them.

i'm unsure if its really going to hit suffolk at all and if it does i think we're getting it mild

i'm in the same boat, i really should go to bed now

i think it will help to see it once its painted to match the car, for me it still looks like it has the soft top up in black

Can vouch for Mike, he does good work Mine is the better option though have to agree, the works already been done, might as well buy ians for 30.00 cost you more to get yours wrapped.

2nd hand mr2 and stook roofs go for 1000.00 easy. so those prices seem inline with most other OEM roofs, honda UK charged about 2.5k for a new roof back when they were in production.

same as any other rag top with a hardtop. my hardtops on now over the winter and its protecting the vinyl roof very nicely from the frost. admittedly i'm not sure of the look on the zed, but if it gives owners the hardroof they need, then its all good

uniroyal rainsport 2's are worth a look, meant to have very good grip, but side wall is a little soft, so depends on what you like. others to consider are goodyear eagle F1 assymetrics

on the 350z i used the Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas they were very good, and for the standard OEM tyre sizes i think they work very well and give a good balance of grip and cost. on my current car; my S2k i run the falken 452's, i've been really impressed by them, but that is on a lighter car with a wider tyre and a lower profile; which seems to remove some of the issues others have suffered in the Zed. other favourites are the toyo;s and the michelin pilot sports (MPS2's are very good but mucho expensive) lots of other options out there. have a look at the tyre review thread.
