  1. Just found this panorama of the 2014 event - pretty cool - just scroll left and right http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/155104
  2. Congratulations but just keep an eye on that fella that he doesn't start an affair with Bianca!
  3. Very good
  4. OK draw a line under this off-topic stuff please. This is a member's build thread not a for you to throw your handbags around.
  5. Try dropping one more gear - but then I enjoy engine braking and with the syncro rev on the 370 it was even harder to resist . Not everyone's cup of tea but I did not find the symptons you have described with the 3 Zeds I owned.
  6. Of those two you have linked it really comes down to what feels right for you/your mum both in spec and the drive. Octavia vRS certainly has good pace though.
  7. Do a search under banana arms - here is one: http://www.350z-uk.c...ms#entry1450765 From what you describe it is more than likely the issue and one that is not obvious when doing the usual checks under the Zed.
  8. Tut tut, all 3 of your for sales in the wrong subforum - all moved
  9. Re the insurance. It covers the 'club' at venues and in no way covers the drives. The cover is limited to 50 cars. Due to the popularity of the event in recent years it has been over-subscribed and the team took the decision that only members with 350/370 ZEDs would be allowed. But if the maximum were not reached then other ZEDs (up to the max 50 cars total) would be allowed. There has been an occasion when the drive from Chester was compromised by boy racers darting in and out of the official entries, no doubt having acquired the routes posted on the public forum. That is no longer the case and the routes are conveyed by pm to stop that activity that did us no favours at all. Now whether the numbers are such that consideration is given to other members without ZEDs taking part is a matter for Mudman. From my experience the drives are better managed by the lead cars when broken down into groups of 10 or twelve as anything above that number becomes more difficult to spot who is at the rear and that is bearng in mind ZEDs are quite distinctive. Add with other marques/models and it becomes less manageable. Obviously we can't stop cars joining but if they act like tits and are members then yes expect forum membership to be terminated. But as I said, the the Club's insurance does not cover activity on the public highway. Hope that helps.
  10. Just get a joint account and agree with Mr Twobears that he does not use his card and as long as you (er, the other half) have funds to make the monthly payment and jobs a goodun. We have a joint M & S credit cards - some good benefits particularly with their worldwide travel insurance and the perks they send through.
  11. Where has GUNs gone Well and truly your car now Nino.
  12. Coming from a work environment where IE was the only option, stuck with it on here for while until I was shown the light to use Google Chrome and all good since then, but...... Not sure if others have picked up Google Chrome falling out of bed with Silverlight which means watching Sky (F1 basically for me) through the net is going tits up and already has buffering issues, even with fibre optic. So watched the China race through IE last weekend and all was fine, so on that basis it has some merits
  13. There really are some cretins around and feel for you Bradders, Visit Ricey or contact him for the Wales meet as he can get a Mobil dent man out Great idea seeing you are going to Wales - if is the same guy we had at the Wales meets a few years ago it was amazing what he did and for little money
  14. Because it was probably a 370z? thats why its in the title lol.. the number plate was **51 ZED im guessing?? ah gotcha - personal plate.
  15. I would suggest that before you start throwing money at the car throw a bit to an Independent specialist for an informed opinion. If you post up your location (town/county) then we can point you in the direction of someone suitable. Oh and if you weren't given any printouts of the 4 wheel alignment I guess they don't have the equipment and while a piece of string (or however they do it) can be used lasers will always give a more accurate reading.
  16. Why 370z in the title?
  17. Not fit for purpose - end of. If they don't pick it up and fix it pronto tell 'em that and you want your money back.
  18. When it needs a replacement battery pack, it is not going to be a £50 jobbie from your local Halfords........
  19. Always been a good-looking Zed and your latest pics have made look even better
  20. Some good advice above and if the lower tyre pressures have not addressed the handling and given the 'issue' has only arisen after the tyre change/alignment work I would be suspicious of what alignment settings the garage has used at the rear as ZEDs are so planted in the dry and you really should be finding you can push the car through the fast bends with a lot more confidence now. Have you got any alignment printouts you can post up?
  21. The question was asked by the OP and answers given so I see no need for Moderation.
  22. nah, we know you are just a pussy really
  23. Looking at that picture tempts me to make a submission here: http://www.350z-uk.c...96892-room-101/
