  1. without actually looking the car over i wouldn't be suprised if thats a right off. especially if the chassis is bent.
  2. they aren't very wide, and they aren't staggered, so you would have to stagger the tyres instead, which is never really ideal. personally if i was upgradin gthe zed wheels i would be looking for a 9" front wheel and a 10" rear wheel most likely in 19" rim size. if your looking for cost effective then rare rims are your answer, lots of decent wheels to fit at not rediculous prices. but your still going to be looking at around 1000 quid mark for wheel and tyres. you could go and get cheaper stuff, but you'll be looking at heavier wheels. making the car slower at the same time
  3. with good winter tyres it will be fine, i didn't use winter tyres and din't find it that difficult. had one interesting drive home but tcs kept it all straight. i'll be running my s2k through the winter, and that has no TCS did fine in the MR2 roadster in snow and that ws the same. alot is just technique and practice. any kind of revs and your not going any where. learn to rock the car with the clutch and clutch control. high gears no revs and gently gently gently is the key. use the gears to slow down and dont touch the brakes. as for the comment about other drivers i cannot agree more. when driving in terrible snow with low tread bridgestones my rear was all over the place, yet i still had idiots tail gateing me.if i stopped they weren't going to have enough space. i also watched people braking to get onto a round about and then just sliding onto it instead. so many people have no idea how to drive in the zed and end up polishing the road instead making everyone elses job a nightmare. if push comes to shove, on work days if it is really bad, i'll get a lift with a colleague and dueing the weekend we do have my wifews beast of a car so its not the end of the world for me. if you do get the chance to go out in the snow, go find a nice big empty carpark and go have some fun
  4. i got mine as low as 9 mpg on a track day including the drive there and back
  5. i have an origianl HKS on my car and they do make good sounding exhausts, on the S2000 its one of the best sounding exhausts going.
  6. pass the bucket
  7. don't let them turn them, its a temporary fix probably enough to get you out of the warranty period and then its your problem, not theirs. tell them if they are doing the warranty work you expect replacement parts. there is a bulletin on it and nissan should know that it needs replacment parts to fix the problem permanently. i hate nissan too; to a point where i refuse to ever buy antother car of theirs; i refuse to line the pockets of a bunch of inbred retards; who couldn't find their own c0cks in a pi$$ing competition. their sales services is shocking to say the least and the majority of their machanics couldn't tell the difference between an alloy wheel and a steering wheel. i also dealt with nissan uk; who are so far up their won ar$e i'm suprised their still in business. biggest bunch of loop whole finding, excuse making lying thieving twunts. i've dealt with toyota and honda both have always been great, regardless of which branch i go and see. when visiting BMW i've been made to feel almost like royalty, as if nothing is too much. even peugeot have always been pretty good. chris i don't envy you; what i would say is try Falcon perofrmance i know they have done warranty work and have an outstanding service record. its a bit of a hike, but you know you'll get treated like a proper customer, and it couldn't be in better hands.
  8. i get mine done every 2 years and i always wear my glasses for driving, have prescription sunglasses as well. i'm a good boy
  9. poo! stock brakes should be fine, you may need to change your brake fluid at some point soon after as you'll most likely boil it. pads and discs should last, might need some new ones sooner. but you won't be punishing them that badly. if you were greekman i could understand
  10. hopefully Rik will be delivering my front end any day now lol i forgot about that,
  11. accusations in the teaching proffession and anything linked to it can be a career killer. its my worst nightmare. thats why i make sure i bury all the bodies at least 10 feet down on the school playing field joking aside, i'm very careful all the time how i speak and what i say, and that i make sure i don't put myself in a dodgy situation.
  12. Looks very nice but its desperatly calling out for a something at the front
  13. did they all laugh at you
  14. if louder is your route, then look at single exits
  15. nice choice, i do love the cayman
  16. good write up, what did you replace the Zed with then?
  17. if it looked like that and had 4WD i'd probably give it a try, i prefer the interior in that to a scooby or evo. but they won't do 4wd, so i will never go and look

    Alfa 8C

    one of my favourite cars going, its not the best perofrmer, but it is a very stunning car to look at. its like the ultimate alfa. if i had the money i'd have one in my garage
  19. whats your avatar all about?????????? i'm showing my appreciation to all the retards on here who keep making jibs at my car choice don't worry greek man your not one of them
  20. BMW's are fine now, all the wa*kers went off and bought Audi's
  21. is the one coming out on virgin the first series? think i will sky+ it and watch abit later. i tried to get into the remade version of the prisioner, it was ok but quiet odd, didn't really get into it. is this going to be the same?
  22. thats awesome news, anyone what a tech teacher???
  23. the arches are so cavernous on the zed you could pretty much fit moster truck wheels without to much work.
  24. isn't this the new series starting on sky soon?
  25. i think ians super charged beast fits the bill, as he has done most of it himself. just depends on if he was available.
