  1. slightly off topic, but reading that says that modding the 350 makes the car run more lean. for me its not a major issue as i plan to get it remapped in the new year which would correct this and bring the AFR back into better territory. what i'm interested to know is, would running mods over a prolonged time without a remap and the car being lean cause damamge. or does the ECU keep the car within safe perameters?
  2. who have you been blackmailing to get that kind of service?
  3. it gives people the impression they sell lots of cars, and are a popular place to buy from, giving the impression that they are reliable to deal with and a good garage. its a sales technique only. you ring up about a car you like; you find its been sold; you ring abouut another; its been sold. you finally find one you like and panic that someone else will get it before you so hurridly put done a deposit to secure it without really looking in to deeply. as you think that everyone is buying from them so they must be good. tends to work on inexperienced buyers. hopefully the more experienced and cautious don't fall for it.
  4. that'll just buff out
  5. ooh i love the z4m coupe
  6. wow, i'm not an impreza fan, but i love that car
  7. he's fine but all his mates call him clutch face now
  8. autotrader add is dead now, (no surprise) so couldn't see the original pics. be interested to see how this works out.
  9. i don't have a y pipe so cant help there, but the HFC's i have being fitted tomorrow are kinetixs. if money was no object and i was buying new, i'd possibly have gone for berks.
  10. tell you tomorrow when my HFC's go in. should take too long and depends on which garage you use and what they charge per hour.
  11. i'd love to do manifolds on mine, but its a big job and would definetly push your costs up. i've done mine bit by bit. did the exhaust now doing HFC's no one said you have to do it all at once.
  12. thats what i'm talking about sarnie, the 370 is more a side step than a step up.
  13. lol i like the fact i got a "sort of " hahaha you just said what i was trying to say but i did it in such a long winded fashion
  14. love the look of that. don't normally like ones like the K1, just don't think the rear cans are that asthetically pleasing, but that is a sexy bit of kit. i'm already true dual, but what kind of price are you looking at for domething like that?
  15. if it was a case of buying from scratch and never owning the zed i'd possibly go for the 70, but now i have the 50 i wouldn't upgrade to the 70. i'd meld the 2, i'd keep the 50 exterior, and put the 70 innterior in it. for me now, when the time to change comes i'll move on to something different. nothing against the 70, but i like to change to something completely differeetn when i move cars. never bought the same brand twice.
  16. under a fiver i know its probably true but i cant belive nissan sell anything else for a fiver i could be wrong, but i'm sure in previous discussions people have go tthem for sod all. although ti could be £5 for the bic biro to write in it with and £100 for the book
  17. think nissan is the only place to get an official nissan service book, but thery arent expensive, am sure a few people on here have got them and it was under a fiver.
  18. usual oil values on the zed are either 5w30 or 10w40 might be worth trying to flog it on the RX7 club site as well. its a cracking oil though good choice, lots run the same brand on here.
  19. their mark ps don't seem to bad, had a browse on the site. as long as they are willing to negotiate on price then it aint that bad. still wouldn't buy from them though
  20. thats it woodsport my mate has the first UK v6 roadster, and its a great car, although i think he's planning on now making it the first supercharged v6 roadster. On ROC back in the day woodsport got better reviews than Rogue. lol. the roadster was definatly a great handling car and the ROC are getting more mr2OC converts who had realised how much better the chassis is on the roadster and how its a better driving car than the older mk2's well coming from the Mk3 and going to the Zed, the zed is another step up again. although tis heavier it still gives great feedback and grips to the road like sh1t to a bears arse. extremely well balanced and when i took it on a recent airfield day found it an extremely good handling car, easy to catch and easy to control in slides. and the big improvement is the extra torque compared to the mr2 makes it so much more fun to drive. but the only way for you to make you own mind up is go and drive one and get some passenger rides out as well.
  21. don't forget, exhaust noise will also be affected by what your running in the engine bay. mine also has the typhoon induction kit and soon to add carbon plenum and throttle body spacer. people have commented on a tone change with a plenum spacer, although only minor. and an induction kit adds induction noise as well.
  22. raspy is bad you want low deep and grumbly with pops and back fires. raspy is what i associate with mopeds,
  23. will do at some point. when first fitted it didn't sound much different from stock, especially without any load on the engine. but over 3.5k it does sound nice. its quite reserved. hence why i've decided to add the HFC's the idea being to get the little extra noise i wanted without it being unlivable with. currently its great, no drone and very useable on long drives. but i miss the popples and back fires my old exhaust on my old car had. so i hope the HFC's will bring that aspect, without making the exhaust unbearable on long drives. Mark has an Amuse i thought he had an RSW before the AMuse? sold it to someone on here? i may have all my facts muddled so ignore me
  24. had mine a year. was serviced when bought, never topped it up(didn't need it) was serviced recently, still doesn't need topping up
  25. i thought fiddy had an RSW? i've got an invidia true Dual, and as of tomorrow should have some kinetix HFC's mated up to it. will feed back later tomorrow when i've been for a drive.
