Reception was fine for me. The base and aerial don't match up exactly but you have to look close to see it and its certainly doesn't look like a "tacky crap stuck on". A good cheap mod.
I reckon the strength of the Yen is going to hit these outfits hard. Skylines and other cars rare in the UK are one thing but with UK Zed prices dropping who is going to pay top whack for a fresh import?
What aston are you planning on getting for 30k? not a V8 or DB9 i assume?
Another couple of months and they'll be skirting £30k. Some are already well under £40k.
Test drove one of these at the weekend and it was a corking little car (Mk2.5). Really pointy and direct with loads of feel. Tiny inside as mentioned and not going to win many traffic lights grand prix but for few grand its a pretty neat car.
I currently have a 5Zigen Pro-Racer A-Spec (the one with blue tips) that I'm willing to part with. Brand new, never fitted and in the box. PM me if interested.
I think you'd have to be very sensitive to notice any major performance difference in the MY05 and MY06. The interior is no great improvement IMHO. I'd save some money and go with the older car.
