  1. if you can find them for £300 then your doing well. i checked envy and there around £450 ebay were about the same.
  2. their demonstration of how much BHP you can wring out of a 2 litre engine is impressive, but once your up to those figures the engine must b so highly strung. you kinda think its all a bit pointless when you can get a v6 to do more power without the complications and hassle. i know the rallying rules and why they do it. but unless your rallying whats the point? i'd rather by a lower spec version, and use it as a day to day driver than get the top spec one and take it to the garage once a month for a service. in fact, even though its slower, i'd actually keep my zed over that. and i like evos. always an evo over a scooby. always saw scoobies as a chavs car.
  3. first one looks like she slid drivers nose into the fence, rear followed round, up and over the already sloping (after the hit) fence, taking the rear wheel off the axle, and then gentle to a standstill perched upon the fence. both look impressive.

  5. without being a kill joy, this is all a bit silly, but if you want to go racing, do it on the track, and remember, the police to check car forums, for stuff like this. there have been several convictions where people have incriminated themselves with their own video evidence. i'm not saying i haven't occassionally slipped over the speed limit. but boasting about doing 2 and a half times the national speed limit on public roads is a bit daft. what if they'd had a blow out, and hit another car. even that late night A1 run the road wasn't empty. and at those speeds if you hit anything your not just f**ked, but proper F**ked. each to your own, i'm not your dad or the police, and you can do what you like its your car, life, time etc. just think maybe the forum is not the right place to promote it. we get good insurance discounts from being affilated with the site. how many of the affillates would maintain those discounts if they think we're all a bunch of reckless speeders. not really a rant, more a voice of reason, not trying to insult people or offend. people can listen or ignore its up to them
  6. now that i likey a lotty more my style, very jap street racer
  7. no predicted snow in suffolk either
  8. bonnet gaps are a little big, but at least even, but i love those wheels.
  9. was just looking at the alloys, are they Rays wheels, but painted black? both them and the photos look good.
  10. all the exta bits at the front has made it look like its got a tout pout. or fish mouth. not the aggressive look i would be going for.
  11. mine only needs to hit 88 mph, and then the flux capacitor does the rest
  12. might also bbe worth checking with people in the know on which tunnels are speed camera fitted, as some people occassionally and accidentially slip over the limit when making noise in tunnels. and giving people a heads up might help the over enthusiastic people out there. most have signs up anyway. but they are deviously hidden
  13. would love to come, but i have a family meal to atten. both mine and my parents in laws are all going to a pub to celebrate an early xmas as we will both be out of the country at the end of the month.
  14. thats the fastest moving exhaust i've seen todate.
  15. nope my sausage fingers hit the wrong button in my haste to write the message have corrected it now
  16. Happy birthday Ekona AKA Dan Morgan just realized you share it on the same *dad* (edit) as my day, which has reminded me i need to ring him tomorrow and congratulate him. have a great day, and will catch up soon, as i need to see what you've done to your Zed.
  17. roadster motoring is great. i used to love dropping the top on the MR2 great times other than when its sunny is on a clear night, and a crisp winter morning. people think your nuts, but its great.
  18. well i've given in. bought a Pioneer avic F500BT tonight, and managed to get it for £388 ic delivery. which i thought was quite good. but i bet someone on here will find it cheaper should hopefully get it in a few days time and once i've had a chance to sit down and work out fitting. i'll tell you all if it integrates or not.
  19. i used to love the RX8's until my nob of a next door neighbor bought one when they first came out and it put me right off. have since moved, and the soft spot for them has come back, but never enough to actually own one, i've heard they drink oil like its going out of fashion and are even less economical than the ZED
  20. so what were the prices before mr chancellor got involved?
  21. is there an automotive equivalent to the RSPCA. where you can report people for neglect to cars, and they come along and take the vehicle in to a shelter and care for it until they find a new owner that will take better care of it. cos if there is i think someone needs to call it ASAP
  22. it looks like flexi dado-rail bolted on, the question is why? in this current climate i bet you couldn't give it away. i would probably buy it for a fiver, and spend £10,000 on new body panels and bodywork sections, possibly out of carbon, that is sacrilage.
  23. if they had gone with the original interior instead of putting in the golf interior, it would have been a better car. but like said above, if i had to have a VW i'd choose this over the golf. my wife has a golf, and like you say, its well put together, not a bad car, but i find like all german cars, it lacks any kind of spirit inside. its all very clinical. has no quirks, and things that make it individual. just another well manufactured German drone.
  24. don't want that catching you in the chin if you haven't lined it up right
