  1. you might be surprised at how easy that gets going. BM had a prelude before the Zed, and i looked at one a while back, they are good cars, and the engines ar ebullet proof as long as they have been serviced on the correct intervals etc. even if you just got it running and sold it you'd make a few bob or 2.
  2. Just had a quick search for you, and these are some of the most popular wheels offered by rare rims on this site, most of these you won't find on there website. the GTR ones give you a good idea of combined tyre and wheel price for a set. and they are also on special for the club so a discounted price. the rest are a normal price. viewtopic.php?f=61&t=26184&hilit=+wheels viewtopic.php?f=38&t=24584 viewtopic.php?f=38&t=26568 These happen to be my favourites viewtopic.php?f=38&t=26551&hilit=+wheels no one else has these in the UK on a Zed yet, and i nearly got them, just couldn't afford to do it this year
  3. the TVR is loverly but it will burn money quicker than you can make it. my dads colleague had one and it spent more time in the garage having work done or repairs or fixes than it did on the road.
  4. its like the coins a re fitted with a homing device, the worst ones are the seat rails to try and get it out of.
  5. beyonce clown had me wetting myself
  6. royal purple 5w 30 for me, ordered 5 litres from envy last week for £46
  7. i doubt renault would shed any extra light on it, but they might be worth a try, as they see mor eof them than an independant wand would be arware of any service notices gone out to all dealerships, or possibly any common faults. sorry i can't be more help
  8. thats what i said, my last comment was that the asymetrics got a good write up
  9. i'll try that, i also thought i might put some chilled out music on for them, so that they sleep well at night. any reccomendations for artists to play?
  10. ok that makes sense i feel like the blonde who always laughes about 10 seconds after everyone else laughs at a joke
  11. thats my favourite parking space at sainsburys as well
  12. what does ASW mean?
  13. nah sorry, not my thing
  14. i'll go lay them on there sides tomorrow, or at least rotate them every 3 days
  15. sounds good price, make sit more reachable for me, as your also in the south. so no mental drives up north
  16. Indeed - this does put me off the wide kits. I am worried about deep/low skirts and front bumpers due to clearance - speed bumps and railway crossings terrify me as it is LOL alot of them don't actual sit that much lower, but change the shape from a rounded under the car to a more square finish. gives the illusion of deeper will not being ridiculous. i can't make my mind up if i should lower mine when i refurb the wheels, i'm defo getting spacers, but not sure if i should lower as well. with the new nismo kit on i'm not sure what the clearance would be like, i don't want restricted access. as at the moment i cans till go anywhere.
  17. if thats your choice, i would probably say that the eagle F1's are better. i found the tyre wall on them a bit soft, and the compound shredded easier, i.e. picking up puntures etc. but the grip on them is way better than the toyos. theose were the old gsd2's, have heard the updated gsd3 aren't as good. but their asymetrics get a good write up http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goody ... metric.htm not as sexy a tyre but meant to perform very well
  18. definitely have a look around, there is a lot of options, but most people seem to stick to the familiar. i think with that spoiler if it just had some deep skirts, it would help make the car look fatter on the side profile. which is what you need. if you start going down the route of VS wide body your into jumbo wheel and spacer setups, masses of bodyshop work and a general fear of all things hump shaped.
  19. DAMD http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... entCat=203 Bomex http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ory_ID=196 these are the Z-store links, but have a proper browse through there site, as it shows pretty much every kit available.
  20. fair play, wasn't picking holes i'm in the same situation, small bits at a time. personally i wouldn't go wide arch, but there are some really good aggressive kits out there that would balance the spoiler. i think nismo would be too soft for it. i think definitely the DAMD kit would work well, or the bomex, niether of which i've seen in the UK,
  21. go vredestein you know you want to http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Vrede ... ssanta.htm
  22. i think the novelty of having the worlds fastest charade would wear off on me quiet quickly. yes you'd be able to out drag any car you fancy, but i wonder how it would handle on a track, i don't think it would be able to put down all that power, as there isn't enough weight. i get my kicks from going fast on twisties, as going fast in a straight line is easy. sorry just my opinion, i'd rather spend all that engine money on a better car
  23. your going to need an aggressive kit to balance the spoiler out, other wise it might make the car look a bit off balance.
  24. that is insanely fast, and extreme power, but for me i never really understand doing it, at the end of the day its still a charade, regardless of its engine pedigree.
