no real point in looking at imports, the price of uk cars has dropped, and the value of the yen gone up while the sterling has gone down. which means that its more expensive to import now and the difference in price makes it a no brainer and yu get a uk car. as for the budget, you might struggle to find one under £10k they are there but it is right at the bottom of the range. so be more aware of cat C, D and other crash damage or poor maintance.

Have fitted the Typhoon and its a great bit of kit, but there is slight fitment issue between the carbon cover and the metal air box. the carbon cover is rattling on top of the air box due to the design there isn't enough fixing points to hold it in place. what i was looking for was some kind of 'U' shaped rubber trim i can fit over the rim of the air box to cusion the lid and stop it rattling. i can't hear it in the car, but it is noticable outside of the car. has anyone else ahd this, how have you guys fixed it.

are we gaining something like a garage section where you have your own garage tab, and it shows your mods pics etc. was on MR2 ROC and a couple of other sites i've used that were on php

its a good car, with nice amounts of torque. gets up to speed quicker than you think, and as said above its deceptive, cruises nicely. rmember its a GT, and its a good handling car. and rear wheel drive, i've had a 306 gti6, mr2 roadster, CTR. and must admit the Zed is by far the best car. it hugs the corners well and feels like it has more grip to give even when pushing. best ting is to try it. but get a good route, do some main roads dual cariage way and some country lanes. give you a proper taste for the car.

i payed cash outright for mine, my parents didn't pay for it, i have my own home, and mortgage. and i've only been teaching for 3 years. so pay is minimal. but then i sold my disertation from my degree, which has helped pay for most things. i think most of my colleagues probably think i'm a flash barsteward, but i worked hard and earned my money, and spent it on what i like

i had one, just got rid of it, made bugger alll difference. so many people have 3 points that insurance companies almost ignore the first 3. think it add £10 onto my insurance for the year

i only have 1 years no claims and mine is £750 and i'm 27 with admiral

they are similar to the rays, but your car does look very good, beautiful example

Bottled it!! yep

more likely its his car, and he's trying to work out how to pay to fix again because its stuffed up again. my dad had one of these, he used to rally it back in the late 70's early 80's

i think i have enough projects on the go at the moment, am going to have to step back,before i ovr stretch myself. if i do this then i'd want to fit a plenum spacer at the same time just because i had the plenum off, 2 birds 1 stone situation, just starts to get to pricey. maybe later in the year i'll re evaluate

i should learn to read better. its very tempting

if i sold my plenum to someone else how much would i get for it rought estimate. its an idea to fit yours and sell mine on for someoen else to get it polished up?

Thats come out really well, am glad you like it.

i know what you mean, but i like it, its the fact that it re styles the rear dramatically, got really frustrated recently when someone commented on how nice my car was. then when trying to remember what it was said ... its one of those audi TT things. i know she was complimenting it. but it really annoyed me and i want my car not to associated with an audi TT. not that i don't like the TT, i think the new TTS is very nice. but i think the ZED is a rarer car, and i don't like it when people think its a more common car like the TT. sorry if i have offended any previous TT owners as thats not what i'm trying to do.

27, got the zed a month before my 27th birthday.

i agree with alot of what has been said both by john howard and others on here. We have partly been our own worst enemy especially when it comes to political correctness. i heard a while back people in the civil service being told to only send cards at xmas that said seasonal greetings not merry xmas so as to avoid upsetting other religions. i know for a fact that the majority of other religions couldn't give a toss what we get up to and when. i enjoy the fact that we have many cultures. i have talked to friends during ede (not sure on spelling) have enjoyed the fireworks at my mates during the festival of light. enjoyed and shared different foods with friends who are muslim and hindu. (particualy enjoyed my mates creole cooking (mauritian muslim)) and i used to get pi**ed off with the norrow minded folk down my old local who were not educated enough to read more than one paper and build there own view, or have an understanding of current and global affairs current and past to make an opinion that wasn't taken from the mail or the sun. the old saying of "knowledge is power" is very true, as the "poorly educated in my opinion had no view of there own and followed a sensationalised media opinion that was poorly written and badly guided with statistics that aren't true. i was always brought up that you take what the media says with a pinch of salt. many poeple i spoke to believed that all muslims were terrorists. it may be that all terrorists are muslim, but many forget not all muslims are terorists. if i go to another country i would always respect there views and culture. i don't have to follow it, but should show the respect to not do things that would be frowned upon. and as said before if you don't like it go somewhere else. you don't go to a friends house and suddenly start making changes to how they do things because you don't like it, and i think the same respect should be shown to any country. and if your a visitor or guest and you break the law, you should be shown the door and kicked out.

I still have the BBS bud, am thinking about getting the finichi's didn't you have some other multispokes before the BBS's

prefer the BBS over finichi i actually liked your older rims don't think the finichis are that great

i've fitted mine, and it has smooth the idle out, don't know about the others, i also think my radio reception is better as well. for me it is piece of mind that its wired up good and proper

i'm in a similar dilemma, i like the nismo v2 but from some angles i'm not sure. i can't work out if i leave it with the lip or go for the big wing, to go with the nismo kit. i don't mind the ings, i think i would need to see both in the flesh side by side to make a choice. if you went nismo, why not get rid of the burger and get the tommy K badge to put in place. which is what i'm going to do.

depends what the material is, but all the gloss finish kitchens i've heard of can be a bitch to keep clean and apparently scratch really easy. same as granite can be an arse as well. there are advantages to cheaper laminate finishes.

really hope that's right! Will check that this evening so! It's not brembo's do you know when the pads were last changed. you'll sometimes find as pads where out the piston that pushes the pad out and keeps it on the disc can bind in place. normallly its only an issue when you come to reset it and put new pads in because you'll need a new caliper. my guess is that the squeeze motion that puts the pad on the disc when you break isn't returning fully. make sure brake fluid levels are good as a lack of pressure may cause this. try and free them up witha lubricante, WD40 on a fine nozzle directed into the moving parts might do it. but it could require a dismantle and rebuild. but if pads are low change them at the same time and make it an all in one job. or even swap them over, i believe P17LT (think i got the name wrong(the one with the big mean green car ) wmight do brembo conversion kits or zmanalex is another person who might do a bremo conversion set. i think Zmanalex even has a store of old standard calipers etc so might be able to get a new one off him.

i didn't either, i payed for mine

you'll be lucky, i p/x my civic in in november and managed £10,000 and that was a 2007 with 19k on it.
