looks really nice, although i would have left more carbon visible on the diffuser, like the whole fins but like you painted inbetween them and on the leading edge on the top. makes a really positive improvement to the car and gives it back that aggressive edge

i'm down at my parents this weekend i might be able to come round and have a listen, i heard chris I's before he sold his. to be honest i think you might be right with the master cyclinder diagnosis. i doubt its due to misalignment of clutch, and if the fluid and slave have been done it doesnt leave alot left to check for this kind of problem.

they had me laughing, and i'm meant to be moderating an exam

i'm in suffolk and use TEAM AFM at martlesham near ipswich. a bit of a trek but they know there cars and work on several Zeds.

nice car, welcome

zed tinted spectacles its never bothered me that some cars are quicker; for me its how you get there not how quickly. there are some really out and out quick cars to buy for not alot of cash, but they are completely uninteresting to drive and give no real enjoyment in the drive.the zed is really well balanced with a nice smooth torque curve; it should make for really pleasurable b road and twistie driving. yet most people only seemed bothered about how quick in a straight line it goes (not aimed at the op) going fast in a straight line takes very little talent, going fast round a corner takes a lot more.

i really want to go one year

aluslip will do the job nicely, but copaslip should be fine. it won't eat the spacer but you might get a discolouration of the back of the spacer. but you'll get that naturally anyway even if you don't use it.

love the cayman S best looking porsche in my eyes, prefer it to the 911 good luck with the new volvo

even the zed has a hair dresser image mate, just depends on who you talk to I utterly disagree!! thats cos you drive one its annoying when people say that isn't it to be honest hair dressers make good money and like to buy nice cars, alot of thing sin the prestige market are hairdresser cars because they can afford to buy them. has nowt to do with the quality of the car, and only people in the know; about their cars will know what is and isn;t a good car.

I keep my eye on AMGs. My Dad has a 2009 S Class and a 1992 mint SL so merc is very much on my radar. I am keeping a VERY keen eye on the price of IS-Fs too. You heard one of them? not heard one but i do like your taste, a very real bmw beater that one lexus make some nice cars, and the dash on it is magic

i'd look at the merc amg equivilant stew, the noise they make is pants wettingly good

best knob out there in my opinion, i had one and sold it for about the same amount. its not a cheap ally one, had mine on for about a year and there wasnt a mark on it. ally ones scratch far easier.

even the zed has a hair dresser image mate, just depends on who you talk to

i've stuck with jap cars because i know them, and like them, zee germans haven't done anything yet to fully tempt me over to the dark side. i did toy with the idea but they haven't built any "drivers" cars in my price range that i like both internally and externally. was very tempted by the boxster but didn't liek the internal dash, and thats where you spend all your time. agreed audi residuals are silly high the only german that nearly got my money was the Z4M coupe. but still expensive. looks are subjective, to me its a stunner but others find the rear pig ugly.

i wouldn't discount the audi tt-s its a very capable car, and the interior is very nice. puts the zed to shame in that respect.

have to agree with your pricings out of the box new its a difficult challenge, but as soon as you step in to the 2nd hand car market then the playing fields are alot more level. i reckon only 25% of this club can afford to buy the car as new and most will be 2nd hand owners. it really is horses for courses though, different carts, different engines = different driving styles and track orientation. the one issue that hampers the zed is that shes a fat girl. a well balanced well handling fat girl, but a fat girl all the same.

with all the cafuffle i'm going to look at other alternatives, i may end up staying with the wonder phone, but i may end up else where. am also going to check whats due for release, as my contract ends in july i may wait for something new to come out in 3 months if there is something worth waiting for.

all down to personal taste. in stock form i found the zed to rounded and a bit girly ( no comments on my current car ) hence why i did the bumper changes to give it back that aggressive edge. zed is beautiful thats a given, i actually like the new shape audi tt styling in someways more than the 350, the 370 though has upped the game a bit. porsche boxster is a good looking car rx8 isn;t bad looking either all in zed power and price range

imho its down to driver ability, most on here will tell you that its a pig to drive in the snow and you can t go anywhere, but i ran mine all year round and didn't really ahve any issues. snow tyres will make a good difference to the drive as will snow socks . i've driven several rwd cars in snow and have made better progress than others in fwd cars in the same weather on the same roads.

S2000

not cow boys; professional bodyshop, the bloke who does it comes in on saturdays and if you bung him some cash he'll do the work for you. i know the place well. plus its not going for a full detail; its just in for the polish. i don't want someone else to do all the work, i want to do it, i just want to pay someone else to do the machine bit. but if it does help i know of other pro detailers that do a full detail in and out for 65-75 quid ranging up to 150 depending on what you have done.
