  1. Dn't forget here in the UK we get the benefit of paying double for practicaly everything! What's another £15k!!
  2. WTF! Never in a million years. If they ever sell it for that price the owners been stitched good & proper!
  3. I quote - "Also it is not the revised engine. So what if it has Tiptronic etc, as mentioned, its an import and worth less as a result. The nismo kit and wheels are only worth about 2k as an option fit. Insurance WILL be higher for it too, no warranty (manufacturer) and what happens when the tiptronic fails" Few things, I'm not quite sure just because it's an import it's worthless as a result?? I've saved a small fortune buying JDM and at the end of the day it's the same car as a UK one, if some people really do feel that it's really that different then unlucky! ok you lose the warranty but my cars four years old already (doesn't look it) and therfore warranty would of expired anyway. I think we've gotta stop this turning our noses up at the import stuff ( I'm surely not the only member heere who feels the same way - maybe I am?) Second thing - I think most insurance companies are coming round to the idea that grey imports are not what they used to be and therefore there isn't much difference if any for insurance preimiums from JDM to UK. Third thing - the triptronic is probably as likely to fail as when your clutch does in a manual so don't think that's relevant. I do agree though, cars well over priced, more likely a typo error and should read £26k ? even that I think is steep! Anyone fancy ringing them to confirm?
  4. All in good condition. Car / wheels have covered around 10,000 miles I'd say and two have been curbed ever so slightly. Am selling due to recent upgrade to 18" UK GT ones. Anyone potentially interested? Looking to get rid of quick as they are blocking me from getting in my shed! Sorry no photos on me but can post if anyone interested? Could be good for track days? Thanks
  5. Got quite a few of these people around my neighbourhood - not a bad area where I live but you just seem to get erm everywhere, you're absolutely right to just leave it - say nothing the car speaks for itself!!
  6. Beavis - Can't stand it when that happens! what was the state of his BMW? was it a wanabee one? i.e one that had obviously been ragged and kev'd up at the same time? To**er!!
  7. As the title suggests, by in large do you find that in general fellow Zed drivers you see on your travels acknowledge you in the form of flashes, waves etc?? My experience suggests this is the case however the past couple of weeks I've noticed a change, like Sunday I saw a Blue Zed opposite side of road coming towards me - flashed him/her they definately saw the car but drove on without any return. Doesn't really bother me I suppose but wondered what other people's experiences were?
  8. Lamoto - Could you sell me some and send to my home address? You should still have my details? if not I'll PM you with them?
  9. just been to Halfords, they do a clear paint lacquer for about six squids. Would this be more or less the same thing do you know?
  10. How'd you mean lacquer them - with what Lamoto?
  11. No chance - not spending quarter of that! Might go another route and paint them and get some de-cat Brembo stickers to put on - think that's a bit chav?
  12. Nope - Ideally if possible that would do me as I'm not a speed freak and not really into the performance side of things it's more for cosmetic reasons I guess, but presume I need the pads / discs etc as well?? or not?....
  13. I want the gold coloured Brembo stuff that the UK ones get, I'm confused now, what Brembo kit would I need so that it matches the UK spec?
  14. As above please!!! Can't seem to find any for sale anywhere and can't afford the brand new prices
  15. Ok - I'm slightly confused. My speedo obviously has a chip to convert to MP/H and has the K blacked out with tape as previously mentioned, and like everyone else with a JDM the odometer displays KM/H but obviously speed is determined in MP/H - Right? So when I bought my JDM it had 8500 miles on the clock. I have now got on my display 14500 miles. What is my correct total mileage I have covered? I thought it is what my speedo says it's done - 14500? or would it be less - i.e. determined from when the car was SVA'd (example if my car was SVA'd on 8500 miles this was actually a KM figure - and therefore 14500 miles showing now includes a 8500 KM figure also? ) Again - I hope this makes enough sense for someone to clarify. I guess it doesn't really matter but wouldn't mind knowing for piece of mind I suppose? Cheers Nick

    Mine being a JDM import, I'm sure the stealers would tell me where to go??
  18. I'd of thought a big company like Ebay would of managed to get some anti sniper software built in??
  19. yeah mate, don't I know it. I remember when I was trying to bid for an Ipod 30g and kept getting pipped at the end - Bit of a p*oer but perfectly fair! Cheers
  20. ok mate cheers. Gonna stick with the Pipercross. Not risking any unfamilliar brand on my baby! Bargain or not. Gonna stick with my bid on the Pipercross. Thanks again for checking out. Think it's worth me upping my maximum just so I don't get pipped at the end?
