If it saves you money and gets you the house then do it. Not meaning to offend, but your Z is high mileage and has a set of wheels & a wing as far as I can tell - its hardly something that couldn't be replicated once you get the house and get another Z

Done a few more bits to the car over the past few weeks I bought a heater control unit with LED lighting off one of the facebook groups and a custom made oil catch can/washer combo tank and a Blitz air filter Rest of my Defi's finally turned up, so i got them fitted along with the Uras gauge pod Also got the Nismo 380RS accelerator pedal fitted along with some new floor mats My Dmax LED rear lights are currently stuck in customs I've also got a new Koyo radiator, Downpipe, Silicone hoses, Engine damper to fit while I'm off over Christmas I've also just sound deadened the car to make it a bit more family friendly ready for when I get a louder exhaust

Cheap gauge, I've had cheap ones in the past & they never work properly. Gives a right scare when your oil pressure suddenly drops to zero and your 150 miles from home Best off with a Defi/Greddy gauge, they are pricy but they work so well :)

Yep, get the Tomei

I've had a 2011 A5 2.0TFSI for the past 2 years and luckily had no issues with it apart from the common oil consumption issue which coming from a Z you get used to Its honestly one of the nicest cars I have owned, but there is a lot of talk that the 1.8 is more problematic than the 2,0

Doesnt take much space at all & has a 3 tonne weight limit so good for lifting most things. Its on single phase & yup, just needed a 16a fuse fitting to stop it tripping the power. The only thing that I wish I had done was to sink the ramp into the floor so that its flat and easier to get a car onto it. Reversing any rwd car with semi decent power whilst living in the wettest country on earth is a challenge when going up and over the ramp. i love it though, its by far one of the best things I have ever bought. After years of working outdoors and under gazeebos, to have a garage and a ramp is a massive culture shock

For a 2 poster, you usually need 6+ inches of concrete for it. I've got one of these, Its a Platinum MSL3. It lifts the car about 6 foot in the air & is an absolute godsend. I dont know how I ever managed without it ^^ Thats on the lowest "lock" setting I paid a bit more for it than you can find them for on ebay, purely because theres a place that sells & maintains them 10 minutes from my house. I've had it over a year now, I had 1 issue with it where it locked itself in the highest position but that was just a dislodged sensor that was quickly rectified

Not quite an R8 took the 14 out this morning

How’s the fit on them? Wondering if evo-r have sacked Stevie wonder from doing their quality control

I don’t think there are many decent garages in the area any more tbh Certainly none that I would trust tbh

Its aids

I don't have them sorry

Done a few mods to this since getting it I removed the cheapy Autometer boost gauge & installed a Defi BF boost gauge & contol unit, Personal Neo Grinta steering wheel, Works Bell Hub, Pioneer headunit, HKS AFK V2, changed all the dash bulbs to red, the inteior and boot bulbs to bright white LEDs & installed the 350Z aluminium footrest, brake pedal and clutch pedal. I also have the accelerator pedal to fit once I figure out the best way of fitting it I've also fitted a Cusco carbon fibre strut brace & carbon skinned my fuse box cover I've spent ages detailing it as the paint wasn't in the best of condition despite a respray. I've got it looking OK from a distance but I think it will need doing properly again in the future. I also removed the rear wiper & removed the rear spoiler - Looks a million times better without it - just need to find a spoilerless bootlid in green now so I dont have any holes I've also bought a Bullet Exhausts downpipe, I just need to get my wideband bung welded into it before I install it

Dewinged Made the interior a bit more modern

I may have some depending on which ones you need

Ditch the plate altogether and stick it in the windscreen

Aye. That thing Definitely has COVID - his sense of taste has gone

The only thing worse is that black and green veil side thing that keeps getting whored all over Facebook

Not even in the top 1 million

This is true

No probs putting baby seat in the back of my A5 coupe prefer it to a 4 door because at least now she can’t sit there pulling handles and playing with the window switches constantly

At that budget and requirements I would find it very hard to look past the RS5. I daily an A5 and it’s the perfect car IMO. When I sold my 350, I was tempted to sell the Audi also and get an RS5 as an all rounder
