The 245/275 combo is fine. I have never known anyone have problems with it.

Yellow paint and a plaque. In a nutshell they had an uprated engine in a pre-facelift body and came in yellow and black. Black was a colour that was always available for the Zed, yellow wasn't. Shortly afterwards the Zed was facelifted and all Zeds got the uprated engine. The current Zeds have a more powerful engine still. Even the "exclusive" wheels have turned up on some regular UK Zeds this year. Unless you really want yellow paint I couldn't justify spending more on a GT4.

Ithink he has photoshopped out the letters Not on the Autotrader ad.

I can't tidy a thread and just leave in the good bits. Have to be even handed.

Worth looking at. May well have genuine reason for a quick sale in this climate.

Hi and welcome. Your £13k will go a long way in this market if you haggle.

Moved.

Thread tidied at the request of those involved.

Bullsh1t! A BMW dealer would offer less than £10k for that car. The only way he's been offered that is if he's paying way over the odds for the Bee Emm and they'll play with the figures later. BMW dealers don't even give good trade in prices of their own cars. He's either a numpty or he's trying to play you.

I'd say you're talking yourself into a sports exhaust.

The Passats must look pretty different round your way, mate. I take it back - the resemblance is uncanny!

Can anyone recommend a Spa Hotel, within easy reach of London but not in London? Cheers

Its a bit out of date now but this may give you an idea of styles... http://www.zmodified.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31

Should be for 4 No need for new shocks if they are ok, just get the spring kit fitted. so to check, what spring kit are we talking about here and does it lower the car? Eibach is one of the more popular but there are others - pretty much all will lower the car.

I think the reviews will be telling. How many times have car manufacturers come up with clever gimmicks with steering etc. only for them to get a big thumbs down from the enthusiast magazines? Chances are the brake thing and the blipping thing will either be brilliant or pants.

Sounds good. It could then be stickied.

A few cars on here have been done by them (Lomoto's springs to mind) and the job has been top notch. However, their prices seemed to shoot up last time someone enquired. They may be feeling the pinch now and go back to what they were charging I suppose.

Who's doing them for £500 then, Chris?

I think Blueflame have only recently started selling a specific 350Z exhaust. The one mentioned above was a custom job and may well have influenced the design. There was another owner, Ladyboy, who had one but he disappeared ages ago.

I would certainly take the later model - its the engine the Zed should have had from day 1. The basic mods are available for it - exhaust, intakes, cats etc but there is far less choice out there. FI is a different matter.

I may be wrong but the only OEM red leather seats I have seen were the Type-G ones and they look darker. I also thought that all the OEM leather seats were electric/heated and they're not. They still look nice though.

First thing I thought of aswell!

Ran my first Zed as a daily driver - 34k in just under 3 years. Loved every mile.

Great pics but the copy's a bit sycophantic...
