  1. i'm an engineering technologist; i think or a design engineer, depends how you look at it i suppose, jack of all trades, master of none its a big world of engineering out there; like husky says, you need to be a bit more precise.
  2. i'm sorry, but did you not see the traffic coming on to the round about? it may have been light but it was still traffic. and near the end you see someone waiting to get on as he goes round.
  3. now i know why tyres are so expensive at kwik fit

    GUTTED

    sorry to hear that mate
  5. f*ck me thats nearly £400 a month even at £3000 thats still £350 a month add fuel even on 1 tank a month thats about £80 if you spread the road tax theoretically over 12 months thats £12.50 or £24.50 depending on which age car you get. your looking at easily £500 a month running costs if you spread everything including mot's and services over the year. i'm guessing your job either pays really well or your still living at home with your parents
  6. another new member on here was getting quotes of £2000 and i thought that was crazily high, but aiming for £3000 is insane, and getting quotes of £6000, i think thats the insurance companies trying to tell you something. good luck, but i reckon you might need to leave it a year. whats your location, might give a better idea of what we're dealing with. there are several specialist insurers on the forum, but they only tend to insure over 25's or people who have already clocked up a years experience in the car already.
  7. there have been cases of people doing silly speeds video'd you tube'd and the police took them to court. personally i hope he crashes, nothing fatal, just enough to teach him a lesson. its pr1cks like that who put my premiums up on my insurance. proper feckwit as for his skills, i've seen better
  8. fair enough, my first test drive actually put me off the car to start with, got taken down a busy road in rush hour and one junction of the a12 in heavy traffic. my mate persuaded me to go again and i had a nice long drive out and really got to stretch the legs. same car but felt so different. you seem to have turbo's in the blood, the only way your really get to understand if you can "live with a zed" is to spend some time in one. There are loads of members all over the country, there should be someone local to you who can give you some passenger time, maybe even a drive. should reduce your travel and time issues, and help you make the choice. also when you say "gone from a powerful turbo to a zed" i don't know any turbos that aren't powerful. in their own nature they boost the performance of what ever they are dropped into. i know my zed has quite happily out pulled a couple of scoobies and an evo going down a dual carriage way. the zed isn't a slow car, but it does give off that feeling when driving. the speed is very deceptive in the zed. its by no means a super car and i'm well aware of this. but it is very accomplished at what it does. for driving pleasure alone, it is extremely rewarding. not everything is about power. (can't be arsed to find a pic of jeremy clackson shouting POOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEERR!!)
  9. Ricky have you actually gone out and test driven one yet, it will really help you make your mind up and get a feel for the car. other people opinions will give you an idea, but only your own expereience with it will really count. i could speculate about sleeping with jennifier aniston, and i could talk to brad pitt about it, but until i avctually slepp with jennifer aniston, i'm never really going to know, regardless of how many people i've slept with before; who look like jennifer aniston
  10. not seen those rims before, look like 18's
  11. i have 20mm all round and it works well
  12. needs some spacers
  13. these days its closer to £1200 for one
  14. so good he said it twice trying to bump up the posts by double welcoming, ah a sneaky tactic, i like it sarnie to the mad house smudge. lots of knowledge on here, and a great place to pass the time
  15. looking good mate
  16. cincity do them as well
  17. are you a student there?
  18. god i can't pull myself to pay that much for insurance. just don't see it as worth it fuel at the moment is a tough one, tank will set you back about £80 at the moment, and on average should see you do about 300 miles. if you want to keep costs down, don't buy anything from april 2006 on as roadtax is £440 (which i pay ) cars before that are half that. fair play to you for going for it,
  19. welcome to nissan ownership the paint is as thin as a gnats whistle
  20. ahhhh thats zed-ication for you
  21. congrats on the purchase, makes a nice change to the car
  22. i'd be impressed if you got a new nismo for £600 maybe peter mandleson is selling it, similiar spin doctor style. or is it the stig? some say he has 3 testicals and jump a house in one bound, others say he's full of crap trying to improve the sale of his exhaust. all we know is he's the stig!
  23. i use dodo supernatural and have one of their little taster pots, waxed car twice and still have loads left. why not buy the taster and try one see if you like it.
  24. i've been in a diesel race car, and the sound is actually quite good, different but good.
  25. scott mailed me earlier, i should hopefully be getting mine at the end of the week
