  1. I would pay Dorian or Spill to come with you. How many supercharged zed has an RAC seen? but by far the best advice on this thread is to get a car and get the kit fitted yourself - there are way too many unknowns here. Try just this one for size, you turn up and the S/C is clattering away (Vortech's clatter) you will have no idea (and neither would I, neither would BigPhil and neither would TDi) whether it was normal clatter (they vary tremendously) or it was worsening over time due to jackshaft wear on the S/C (this happens). Trust me, you have to live with it to get to know stock noises and changes from stock noises. You would have no warranty with Vortech if the jackshaft bearings are shot and you could be into big bucks straightaway. Alternatively, has the oil been changed every 3k miles and more importantly the oil squirter filter to the blower cleaned (with compressed air) at same interval - if that is clogged, it could go bang any time due to oils starvation to the S/C. More pragmatically,are there spare belts with it - £100 to import (I'm not joking); do you know how to set back to stock if a belt breaks - fair enough you can ask someone for advice here. It needs a recent dyno plot, not for power but to show that AFR is acceptable and not running lean - Spill had problems with his running lean IIRC IMO this is a bad idea - sorry Tech stuff is over my head but sounds like perfect advice especially the last sentence imo
  2. No need mate. I was just thinking that if they were stone chips then a full respray of the bumper could be combined with rectifying the Hare issue. If its chip free then a chipsaway guy should be able to sort it.

  4. Cheers I'm determined not to buy it on Saturday, as I would want to sell my zed privately to someone (perhaps on here) who would appreciate it as much as I do.
  5. Car won't be on a lease purchase and will be mine and not a company car
  6. I would pay Dorian or Spill to come with you. How many supercharged zed has an RAC seen?
  7. You'll be the jealous one soon
  8. Ok, i'll pass on the pics then, unless i can get a few when i arrive before the salesman arrives to take me out And i'll do my best not to crash it unlike the zed i test drove And Tim, you can have first dibs on the rims. Did i tell you they cost £3k?
  9. Certainly will I would takes pics but don't wanna seem like a dreamer.........
  10. To be fair, it means the zed may be up for sale in the near future which is going to be a massive wrench I'm testing driving an eGear Gallardo to see if I like it or want a straight manual.
  11. Well you cant really hide a yellow 350z easily can you Good luck with the test drive oh, and how much do you want for your wheels Cheers mate Its the second one: http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/ca ... searched=Y
  12. About 4 months PS3 is about 3 weeks as well
  13. Strangely for me, i like the headlights Not sure about the leds and eyelid thingies though
  14. Please say you are getting one mate!! I have a test drive on Saturday morning
  15. Well, whilst I was at the circus I logged onto ebay and look what I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ruff-20- ... dZViewItem 20 inch versions of yours for £800 to be fair Sarnie they are in the States and these have tyres on.. £1000 for as new wheels and tyres seems about right My point was, how did they cost £2600 in the first place? Very misleading to potential suitors thinking they are getting a bargain yep get your point, someone may have paid that for them , I on the other hand paid , I seem to remember, £1400 for mine brand new with Continental tyres fitted hi mate, £1400 if that is for same chrome wheels and tyres, that is good, mine have falcon tyres on and i have reciept to prove how much i paid for £2300 actually, them from cruzin on chrome, a british company, maybe i was ripped off, maybe not, i did look in to it at the time, who knows , thanks for all the info from all thou, i have just got some new ones from the states and it did cost me a lot more than advertised, vat-duty-taxes etc, arelli mezlan, thought as i upgraded to a 07 car then i may as well get new wheels as well, thanks kev Sorry mate, I didn't mean to offend you Its just does seem that you paid a quite a bit for them
  16. I think you can get away with just having the V1 if you choose whereas the V2 needs the rest of the V2 kit to compliment so it doesn't look like a chavvy whale tail
  17. I think what he is saying is that the known history is from 0 to a 1000 miles. From then on in its had two owners in 25k one of which was 17/18 years old
  18. So you buying it cos it has the same wheels as mine??? Didn't know you loved me so much!
  19. That last sentence would seriously worry me.
