  1. jerry was yours the same code, and have you fitted anti foulers
  2. i did a temporary fix with my nismo i cut down my plate and mounted it onto a plastic block that fits perfectly onto the centre square. my plan is to do a retractable jobbie like this http://www.swiftmotorsports.com/product ... e771cba318 so i can then put a nice red tow hook eye in the front.
  3. shouldn't be a hugr issue if you paid import price for it. i'm more concerned that the garage sold you it and advertised it as something else. and with mixed advertising, is everything else as it should be. if its an import, why is it showing up as a UK car. did you HPI check it? never hear dof that garage, so i don't know what their reputation is like.
  4. doesn't have leather, which martin pointed out to me, so maybe not a GT spec
  5. doesn't seem to have the little lip spoiler on the boot either which was a GT spec thing (i think, am known to be wrong, ask martinmac )
  6. need pictures of your car to give you a better idea. bumpers can be changed, as can badges(which are normally attatched to the bumpers) you can get replacement dials, but my guess is it might be a replacement drivers dial unit. i don't know, seems like a lot of effort to change and then not do the centre dials. bit perplexing this one?
  7. shame i don't work at chelmer anymore we had a rapid prototyper there.
  8. that is a UK GT spec car
  9. has been for a while
  10. then its not a UK car you got, thats an import
  11. well done mate, great choice of colour
  12. stanski pm'd me this Blue smoke ?? Ok could be running rich? Plugs,timing, sensor off, check oil and water levels everyday is it over / under heating? Check vacuum pipes are not perished anywhere Did it just start happening suddenly? Timing ok? Has it been serviced as required? Old micras used to have duff distributors that wore on the drive shaft but I don't know your car model unfortunately? Are the tappets erm tapping loud or quiet? might be one of those?
  13. whats the water bottle look like, is the water clear, or is it creamy, could be the head gasket going, might cause oil to leak to the exhaust?
  14. have you checked in the spark plugs, is there any oil in there?
  15. more likely to be a faulty tyre valve
  16. it will instantly tell you if its cured your disco dash issue
  17. happy new year guys
  18. i prefer the standalone units like my pioneer, fast, bigger screen, more functions etc. i was always told something that does everything is never as good as something designed to do one job. when you have a unit thats all singing all dancing there has to be some compromises, i tend to find on PDA units it used to be slow to make changes, like coming up to a junction you could end up going past before it tells you to turn off.
  19. if its a slow charger then yes its possible. have you tried starting the car yet?
  20. possibly the drop links
  21. am intrigued now
  22. to be honest i'd get a new lower arm and then drive her down to your local accident repair centre and get them to assess it. you don't have to pay them to do the work, but at least you'll know if you got everything. worse thing would be to miss the fact that the upper arm had snapped or pulled the mounting point out of shape and the car to end up in a worse accident as something fails later.
  23. +1. Not sure if a Z4 performance matches that of a Zed either. Basic Z4 maybe not but Z4M - definatley has good power but the handling isnt as good, ride is extremely hard and heavy just doesnt communicate as well as the zed, but by god is it a gorgeous car. absolute stunner. hated the convertible but the coupe was so retro i love it. in the future i might swap over to it if i felt i needed to be abit more mature/proffessional.
  24. i envolved my wife we went looking at a load of cars, i was originally set on an elise, but she said it wasn't a proper car as it didn't have carpet. looked at the rx8 but neither of us liked that. both liked the bmw z4m coupe but it was out of my price range at the time. both liked the zed, and it made financial sense. was organising it the week we got married, confirmed it on the honeymoon and had it delivered the day we got back she got a posh wedding, i got my car she even likes the majority of the mods ive put on, the only one she hasn't made her mind up on is my spoiler. when it comes to modding i use the divide by 3 rule and minus £60, so the majority of mods usually cost about £30 but most of the time she doesn't question it.
  25. i have my original blade silver front bumper in my garage, ikept it to swap it back when i sold up, but i'm in 2 minds as to if it will sell better with the nismo stuff on(even thouigh it is a copy)
