i must admit i want to like top gear, but i do fin dit hard to pick up and a chore to read. and then i end up flicking through sections without reading it. hoping evo will be better.

heard good things about the khumo's fk452's some like them some don't, on the heavier car maybe not a sgood, but i run them on my s2k and they work very well, not had any issues with them. don't forget size and profiel will also make a difference to a tyres performance compared from one car to another. vredestein ultrac sessantas are good. PS2's are good but very expensive. perosnally i'd rather buy new tyres than 2nd hand ones as you don't know how old the rubber is (tyres should be changed at 3 years or when they get near the wear bar). or how many punctures its had and that have been repaired, and by who or how well. (no comeback if it was a crap job and your tyre explodes at 70 on the motorway.) also if they are illegal repairs and been done anyway even if they are too close to the side wall etc.

won't play on my work network will check later at home

just had TG on subscription this year, have asked for evo next year. not tried car, but i might go for that next year as well. i remember evo being great. hope it doesn't disappoint, not read it for a couple of years.

the fact that when you pay by card the price comes up on the little stand thing, and if that doesn't match with the little screen on the card reader i'd be asking questions. i suppose it helps that i'm a tight arse with money.

mate that is awesome, i always drive past that set of garages but never really stopped to look.

choosing a name is one of the hardest things, best bet is to test them out on something like 123-reg as you might think of a name but some other cretin might have already registered it. i know john and i spent weeks discussing it for his company and a similiar amount of time for mine. just put in the box marked www. add the name; but don't add the .co or .com bit it will then search and tell you if any verion of that name has already been registered.

i've had it with the S2k as well sarnie, lots of badge snobbery or in my case size snobbery i could understand if this was the lambo club, but its a nissan club its part badge loyalty as well, something i think we're all guilty of.

looking forward to seeing a full photoshoot of your new baby. am very jealous

have a look at 123-reg.co.uk, they have cheap software for website design and it seems to get good results. its what i think i'll be using to make my website in the near future.

do you want me to change it to a 370 tag? Yes please EDIT: btw its 370z-uk.net not .com To buy all the people on the above list a set of car decals........ That really doesnt sound like something I'd say Maybe if they all came to Wales I'd get them a sticker if we could get some more Evo Triangle ones ok to the 370.net also if you want evo triangle ones just send me a word file or Jpeg with what you want and a height and width and i can run some up for you. i'm not doing single one offs any more just too much effort and money for very little return. but doing a batch is ok. and the extras money will help setup my new business.

paints4u are the only place i'll use for paint. best spray nozzles out there and excellent off the shelf paint match.

ahhh zed tinted glasses again husky; lots of people wear them; helps shade them aware from the truth i like the new jags and if i had the money i would buy one, i'd also buy an alfa and a tvr and a lotus. all of which are renowned for poor reliabilty and crap servicing. just like nissan.

if the moderating team are happy i'll donate £1 for each member ordering to the club; say instead of paying traders fee. if the mods could give a thumbs up or thumbs down for me and if its a yay, then i'll go ahead and do it next week and have them in the post before next friday fingers crossed.

depends on the car, i kept the dark smoked ones on the silver as it kept the feature of the bumper as the clear ones on a blade just disappear in to nothing. but i would neve rhave the orange ones. but on a darker car it would be clear reflectors all the way.

works well if ther reflector is still there and there is more than 6 LED's needs to be a good strip of light. if they are too spaced out it just looks stuck on. its not terrible,b ut i were to do it i would have what doogyrev has.

i don't have trading rights anymore so don't think i can; also i stopped doing vinyls a while back. i might see if i can get a short run done. but last time i asked a question no one replied. and on the last run i had about 3 people who showed interest i cut the stuff and then they just never replied to any emails. so i'm loathed to put the effort in while i'm trying to start up a new business.

for mild track use it depends on the driver really. some use stock setup and are fine; others have used EBC stuff and it has warped, others have used very expensive stuff and its warped, dpends alot on your driving style. the weight of the car will really show the brakes up as the weak spot when your pushing hard. and the weight will put more heat into them. for mild track use and a normal driver something like the ds2500 discs and some decent pads will see you well. if you want to spend a bit more money then the DBA or dixon brake setup are meant to be sublime.

try camskills as for the car, have a sit down with alex and work out what you want to achieve, then get the bits and build the car to that idea. my mistake was not deciding on what i was aiming for with my car and it ended up a mixing pot of ideas. all good. but none leading to a final good idea. if you want a track based car then you want maximum grip; so a decent set of tyres, possibly wider; good brakes and fluids and possibly a stiffer setup. if you want show car, then you possibly want to slam it, mega wide wheels with either fitting or stretched tyres depending on choice. and any number of other add ons to make it look pretty.

Th reason I'm askin is because I don't want traction control issues as long as the rolling radius is the same as stock then you won't How do I work out the rolling radius? with an online tyre caluclator. you put in the current wheel size and then add the new wheel size on the other side and it will tell you what % the new wheel is out by and how much it will effect you mileometer reading.

you run a risk of the traction control going do lally.

the zed is a heavy car, and the more you push it the more it will become apparent. it is in its essence a GT cruise and not an out and out sports car. it will eat the miles on a long drive with ease; have loads of trque for overtaking without needing to drop a cog. if you want to run the zed on the track you'll need to upgrade the discs and padsstiffen up the suspension; tighten the chassis slightly. and if your into modding and expect to get big gains from tuning and mods; again the zed will disappoint, filters, exhausts etc will have very little impact. unless you go FI then you need deep pockets. the Zed is very capable but find the right example; plenty to choose from so very much a buyers market and not a sellers market.
