  1. its a secret
  2. and the rest of mine, must admit i didn't take many
  3. heres one husky doesn't know about
  4. Sorry this isn't a dig, but lots of ex Rex owners defend the rex saying it doesn't drink oil, and your right 2.5 litres isn't alot over the ownership.i'm guessing you had it 2 years? but considering the zed takes 5 litres at an oil change thats half the zeds oil drank. i've had my car a year and its drunk exactly 0 litres of extra oil. i had to do no top ups between buying her (just been serviced) to getting her serviced. to me that statement proves, the rex drinks oil. maybe not to the scaremongering levels that alot of other people talk of but for me that make it an oil drinker.
  5. why have we started another post about this? whats wrong with the event one? sorry to be anally retentive about this, but i'm following the same types of conversations about the same event on 2 different threads
  6. the bodyshop i use have repaired 2 things for me. an original Greddy front lip and a not so original nismo front bumper. the greddy wasn't difficult to repair but it was ABS so different techniques are needed to restore rigidity and flexibility in the material. the not nismo front bumper was GRP same as the real one. and the great thing about GRP is its a piece of cake to repair, and if done properly will still have the same structural quality and strength as the original (before break). if GRP isn't repaired properly and its done like a stick on plater then it won't be as good and will snap again. the big thing to look for in any kit is the thickness and quality of the GRP used. as well as the fitment. most issues bodyshops see with cheap kits is partly poor fit and needing adjustment (but the same can sometimes happen with originals) but also paper thin GRP with bubbles in, it cracks and splits and needs a shed load of prep to get it ready. i got nismo skirts from CS, fitment wasn't perfect, but then i factored that into the purchase at the time. but the one thing about the skirts from CS and the rest of the kit i had was the quality of the GRP. it needed very little prep (the new bits anyway) the front needed no adjustment.(had been previously fitted to another car). the bodyshop actually commented saying that the kit was very good especially as its a copy, when you compare it to some of the crap they've seen it was a relativly easy job. i think i got my whole kit, sprayed and fitted for about just over £1000, i wouldn't have even been able to buy the full original nismo kit for that price, let alone have it sprayed and fitted as well.
  7. You,ll get a biased opinion on here as most have a zed. I looked at both and decided on the zed. I didn't need back seats. The zed has way more torque. The zed is better looking, more fun to drive and more premium in it's appeal as few people own zeds compared to the Rex. And yes they are worth the extra premium. Easy to maintain, and fantastic Fun to drive. The Rex is a good car, but the zeds better. You don't have to rag the arse off it to go fast.
  8. Don't worry BM i haven't cleaned mine, so it will look shiney compared to mine
  9. i can't see how the headers would set off the ESP and slip lights? have you tried an ECU reset. i set mine off when i had a huge spin out on an airfield dash lit up like a christmas tree, did a quick turn off and turn on and they all went away. maybe a reset might cure yours?
  10. some good tunes, but not the kind of skating i did, those were on quads, i used blades, and i used to spend most of my time going backwards really fast to annoy all the quads who couldn't go as fast. and music wise i remember seeing steps there before they were famous
  11. my guess is the de cats, and you need some anti foulers
  12. good luck and just to say, i feel your pain
  13. i was lucky, my new school happens to be 4 miles away. my daily commute is 8 miles instead of 100 miles. it takes 10 minutes, i get a lie in, and i no longer mind staying late as i live round the corner i had several other interviews around the county, but it was luck that landed me this one. and it happens to be one of the top schools in the county and also in the UK
  14. i feel for you mate, i swapped jobs about 18 months ago to avoid crap like that. used to do 500 miles a week traveling from ipswich to chelmsford. about 50 miles each way. had several sessions where the trip took me up to 4 hours. the A12 is a muppet road where people like to crash as rush hour for fun. i even got rear ended in a car smash on the a12 where i stopped and 6 other cars decided to inspect the inside of my boot. that was the last straw for me.
  15. i have these on mine i'm sure rob could do them in green on a different background if you asked him nicely
  16. i used to go to roller world in colchester when i was younger. but i was a blader not a quad person. my skates spent most of their time on the ramps when i was at college. used to go to playstation in london and and a few other places as well. even got featured in unity magazine. not an article on me specifically but my picture was in it
  17. sorry guys can't make this got to much on, as i'm at ace cafe on saturday, i need to be at home on sunday to build the kitchen
  18. i'm interested viks as well just depends on cash flow etc should be ok, will ask permission from the boss
  19. lol i can't do that now either my family keg of a belly has disastrous effects on gravity and movement. i could nver do flips or anything really. my dancing got better with the more i drank, actually to be honest i don't think it ever got better i just cared less
  20. stanski that was me at uni
  21. done didi done done done
  22. after some one recently posted that i might have a Doppelgänger on the forum i'm a little confused if its me or not. i'm guessing it is, so thanks everybody also please keep the pictures to yourself
  23. i'd use abbey or japex as both know the car. i'd trust them over a dealership service any time. better to travel a few extra miles and get it done properly than do it quickly and get a crap job. if i had a micra i'd take it to nissan, but most dealerships see so few Z's they don't know what to do with them. i had my independent do mine and i supplied my own consumables, all in my cost about £320 there is also DMS just off from dartford as well near brandshatch, and they also know the cars inside out.
  24. guys you have to remember those were all proffessional hard men, and highly trained kung fu masters. the producers of that film actually sabotaged the set to make them look bad. ..... not really, they are as likely to be a kung fu master as i am of being britians next top model
