using a 70mm hole saw will msot likely end in fail not an impossible task, but i'm unsure of how the persex will hold up to it. personally at work, i'd just laser cut it, but thats not really a tool most people have. i'd be more inclined to drill a few holes in it and then use a jig saw to cut a big hole, then file and wet and dry it to tidy it up. as for your dad, he is right. persoanlly i would have done it all in aluminium. but kudos to you for trying something new. it will look very smart at the shows, especially if you have a bling filter in it,

its official the biscuit zed sales thread has been posted as for the S2000, its compareable to the ze don the track, and i enjoyed the high revving MR2 driving style. like the MX5 its an excellent drivers car, but with a bit more balls. they are well built, reliable, in my budget and easy to maintain. it might not be your choice, but i gave them serious consideration when getting the zed.

This Car has been my pride and joy for over the last 18 months it has been well cared for and only receives the best treatment it has been serviced on time and at TEAM AFM where it recieved only the best, including royal purple oil. this car is not a heavy driver and i only cover about 9000 a year in it. drives beautifully. always gets looks and comments i'm open to negotioation on the price but i'm not desperate to sell and will wait for the right buyer. so feel free to put an offer in, but don't take the mick. this is a well known and well cared for ZED, it has never been crashed, its not been written off and all its history is very evident on this forum. any questions please don't hesitate to ask. and any club vultures reading this, a stripping list is part way down, but please hold off posting till i start the appropriate thread. and leave this just for people interested in the car.

its change time and the itch won't be fixed with another zed

happily have one at mine, but it does mean that most will have to come south instead of me going north

i will have a set of HFC's coming up for grabs soon from kinetix

its happening but who said i'm leaving, my family is here. as are my mates. i'm still gonig to go to the same events and i'll still come and park with you lot. i'll still give info on here. part cash, part itch, i love the zed, but must admit the thought of a soft top again has put a smile on my face.

i definietly think the s2000 is the way to go. it gives me everything i want, keeps me in budget, is reliable, and i don't need to buy old. when it was mentioned it gave me the epiphany moment i had been missing. and it will stick my finances back to where they need to be. sorry to Tarmac for not saying anything, but i haven't really talked to anyone about it. defo up for a lads night. am going to strip mods off it. stick the car on here. but most likely it will get PX'd in.

mods will be going will be selling the wheels (for a swap of other rays) plus a little cash in hand double din headunit exhaust and CAI if someone wanted the body kit would sell that as well. might be tempted to strip to stock and PX it in i'm thinking S2000, its a honda and as long as its been serviced well then they are bullet proof. fun to drive and no need to mod. and it gives me back the soft top motoring that i miss

182 it is then your talk of the mr2's got me thinking and you can pick up a high milegae s2000 just in what i was looking at spending. you may die though... no different to my 2 ownership. lack of traction control is no biggie for me

182 it is then your talk of the mr2's got me thinking and you can pick up a high milegae s2000 just in what i was looking at spending.

save money you say? alfa's aren;t that bad. and the interiors are lush.

i own the zed out right, payed cash 2 years ago. have no finance outstanding. i don't want to loose my creature comforts, i like leather seats, i want air con, and i want a fun drive. selling the zed would clear those, and the fact i wouldn't be paying interest on said debt would put me straight so having another performance ca ris not an issue.

out of my original list the Rex was the only one that interested me, and i kinda new that they were going ot be a money pit. might have to look at some hot hatches. or one possible is the Alfa GTV always loved them cars are my hobby, i'm not going to buy a shed or not for very long at least. i am by no means broke just feel i need to down size. i've done MR2's before and don't tend to like to go backwards into cars i've previously had.

i'm glad for the info. things aren't diabolically bad, i could keep it but i want to reduce the debt quicker. i'm making all my payments, and i am already reducing it, but i'm sick of paying large amounts of interest. i don't want a shed as it will drive me up the wall, and i still want performance. just an older car. its not like i'm going bankrupt, but i'm getting annoyed of paying for bankers holidays with interest i'm paying. already sorting out consolidating my debt and getting a loan to cover it, etc. to reduce the interest i pay. but i quiet fancy cutting the debt size. hence looking at an older car.

oh forgot to add the celica GT4 to the list

paints4u use a fan shaped nozzle. i used to keep the nozzles off dead cans, then if i was buying cheap paint from halfrauds for other jobs i'd reuse the nozzles

i'm not going to rush to sell it and not looking for a quick sell. will probably have it through most of the summer unless i get an offer before hand.

i can't believe i'm writing this but i've got to a point where i need to man up and take some responsibility. without going into detail financially i've been struggling for a while and i have for quiet a while been sat with my head in the sand. but with mounting costs in life for a variety of things i have realised that the sensible thing to do is sell the zed to recoup some capital out of the car to clear the majority of debt. this is partly the reason i pulled out of wales. i need to sit down and work out what the car is worth and what i'll strip and what will stay for sale wise. but what i also need help with is what to replace it with. i'm looking at a maximum spend of about £5000 but would like some suggestions of what to get. i have been thinking about the RX7 but think i might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire finacially with one of those. other posibilities are: supra's GTO's Celica GT4's externally i like the evo's but internally i find the early ones vile. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

and mention my name as well as although mine are getting through i'm not getting any reply's also please feel free to carpet bomb there facebook account http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php? ... 391&ref=ts although it seems to be stripped of everything and ebay account http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/carbonforza/

thats where i run out of ideas

www.paints4u.com have very good quality nozzles for even distribution and reduced splatter. they also use high quality paint. if i was doing any spraying be it from a rattle can or a proffessional gun; this is the only place i'd get my paint from.

your still alive long time no hear? stick up a picture it will help to explain what your on about.
