    I love Bell

    your biggest killer is not your 1yr NCB, its the fact your under 25, the older you get the better it is regardless of NCB's NCB's just give you a percentage off; i think 1 NCB = 5% off your initial quote. i had a crash 2 years ago, lost my 3 years NCB. have just 1 now and got admiral to insure me for £700. but i'm nearly 27. the more sensible you are the cheaper the charge. age is not the only factor. i put my wife on my insurance and it brought down my quote by £200. (Only just got married) so putting married down helped as well. even your job can effect it if your young and male you get hit hard in the pocket as statistically your the most likely candidate to go out in a blaze of glory and cost them lots of money. statistically women have more accidents but they tend to be low speed low impact from being hesitant. that is statistically speaking; i have seen some awesome women drivers, and some diabolical male ones. i'm not trying to stereotype or say your a bad driver, just how the insurers see it.
  3. is there a big difference between a true twin can from manifold back and using a y pipe to either twin cans or a single back box?
  4. this is what i'm planning on doing. and it should give me a factory fit look that i can take with me to other cars have a look at this, its not much at the moment, as its still in the planning phase, but the idea is to fit it in the cubby hole http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... 840#251840
  5. found out abit more about this item, it looks like the mini amp that comes with this works like an in-line amp. you unplug an audio cable fromt ehback of the original headunit and plug into the f500 amp. it then runs a new cable from the amp back into the headunit. and another that feeds up to the GPS. this is how it intergrates and gives all the features. this should mean its compatible with the bose head unit. what i need help with as i have never done it before is how do you mount a double din screen or equivilant behind the cubby. i have a flip up cubby, and as far as i am aware you can remove the back box section leaving the door in place. my next question is how do i fix the unit in place behind it. will i need to custom fabricate a frame to hold the unit and mount up on to the original cubby box fixing points and then fit it all back in? any pics of what the dash looks like dismantled would be greatly appreciated. if i have to fabricate up a cradle and this all works i will take pics as i go, and would possibly make up cradles for other people. this unit should give me the opportunity to run an external harddrive through it with all my music on (could put up to 250 gb in) it will also take a reversing camera, or link you ipod up to it instead of an external hard drive. i plan to run an ipod cable to the same place as the current bluetooth adapter is. but as i've said before, never retro fitted a screen into a dash before.
  6. i don't want it to snow till late sunday night, but it has to be heavy, so the kids can't get in, then i can have the day off.
  7. look forward to the vid, i think this is the exhaust i will go for. did H&S say anything about a Z Zorst
  8. i use it as a daily driver but only cos its 4 miles each way
  9. i presumme this is for autos only, as i haven't seen any sport buttons, or snow buttons
  10. dont go to any extra effort, just intrigued, therer are so many to choose from already, and more to come. i wouldn't want them to go and design something with no one to buy it. just wonder if they would go for a single back box or a twin back box?
  11. Yes, but as a teacher you must be totally p***ed off with his spelling and grammar! i'm a tech teacher; even i struggle with proper grammar and spelling, my job is to teach them how to make stuff.
  12. would be intrigued, the mr2 one was about £550 but it took up less space. i know they make all kinds of vehicle exhausts, but i checked their website and they dont seem to do the Zed. mini, porshe etc but no Zed
  13. i use internet sheild good piece of kit, not expensive
  14. hayward and scott are good, my mr2 exhaust was theirs and it was a tidy piece of kit, excellent sound. good bunch of lads. wonder if they would build an exhaust for the Zed and for how much?
  15. +1 to above post its just getting silly. they have also banned talking on a phone (which i agree with) but they are also looking to make it illegal to use hands free, some lobbyists want smoking while driving band. if we head down this route we'll be made to sit in silence while driving and risk points if we take our hands off the wheel to change the radio station. if they want safe roads, they should look at the following firstly - improve the road network, their are loads of roads in poor condition or dual carriageways that should be turned into motorways e.g. a12 and a14 secondly - after 11 pm speed limits on dual carriageways and motorways should be raised to 100. (or removed completely.) there is very little traffic so why do 70. heavily enforce speeding past areas like schools especially at the times they are being used. scrap speed cameras, introduce more road road cops, they have a brain and can make a decision on the driver, and give just a warning (which for some is enough) instead of a box that takes your picture regardless. all learner drivers should follower the finnish method of driver tuition. taking 3 years to get a licence, including time spent on a skid pan. proper probation periods with cars that are limited to 1000 cc. or 70 mph old people should be re tested every year from 60 not 70. cars should be fitted with breathaliser ignition systems if the government want to keep the 70% fuel tax, thats fine but that should be classed as your road tax, not charging people double. that way you pay for what you use. i'd rather have them scrap road tax and put fuel up by a couple of pence than keep paying £400 a year. licence points should be calculated on the severity of the incident i.e. 6 points for doing 50 in a 30 past a school maybe a warning on the motorway if your doing 90 in a 70. maybe make the advanced drivers course compulsary to complete within the first 5 years of driving. there is a difference between fast driving and dangourous drivering.

    crap handbrake

    should always leave your car in gear on a hill anyway. that should solve the problem
  17. some gorgeous looking cars there. love the cobras, its one of my dream kit cars. was told by an owner once at a show when asked do you drive it much? he said yes, but only when its dry, in daylight, no traffic, and no leaves on the road. anything other than perfect road conditions and they become a monster to handle, the backs are really twitchy due to the emense amount of power. said he could never use it as a daily driver. don't blame him, would cry if i wrote one of those off guess you guys have the perfect weather for them
  18. how did you get on with this unit, is it working well am contemplating changing my bose, but don't know if this unit will support the speakers already in. also wondered if you had any steering wheel controls, if so do they still work with the new unit?
  19. i'd like jet engines and hover pads but failing that a full gt racer bodykit and setup
  20. news said today asda are pushing the price down further i think it is due to be 90.9 within the next week or so.
  21. anyone have any ideas or pics of what the back of the bose unit looks like. am trying to find out if this unit will plug into it? their must be some kind of input as the OEM satnav runs through the speakers. but i don't want to go and buy one to find it won't intergrate. worst case senario is i have to run it off its own speaker like a standard screen mounted satnav. still interested if anyone has seen these, i've had a play 900bt and the pioneer system seems good, don't know what other peoples opinins are or if they would reccommend a better system. for a similar price.
  22. couldn't care less abou the football, rather watch a rugby game, far more interesting, got bored of over paid pitch divers a long time ago.
