  1. wow I m staggered...edited as I read your post again... sorry 27k in 3 years....man!
  2. the orange peel and the pin pricks would drive me mad..... I would want it to done again and done perfectly....although depending on the amount on the original price I may cut the trader some slack... If it was a really cheap job, then it's a bit tough really. Whilst I don't condone a badly done job just because it was really cheap, I would like the use the example of the tv programme Cowboy builders. Many times the people get ripped off as they've opted for a cheap as chips builder and thought they would get the most amazing extension for a pittance and as a result. They often get one half built...
  3. hahah, just shows it's all about personal preference, I actually like the bonnet vents but hate that wing....
  4. it's on a car already..... car itself is priced around £12k.... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3130710.htm
  5. Hello Chaps, What are people's thought on the said supercharger when it's been ran for 50,000 miles already? Any replacement parts on it and things like that?
  6. Thanks for the answer mate..... Looks very
  7. can someone tell me what is the vent on the front bumper? Is that due to a performance mod?
  8. nice!! If you are thinking of selling...let me know!
  9. nice, but I want a coupe not a roadster....cheers
  10. Fair point, I just think my Dc5 is an import, well they are all imports and it's fantastic.....but take your point if you've personally had a bad experience with jap imports.
  11. guess some people are too proud to be seen in lidl/aldi etc etc I've got to be honest Carla talked me into going to Aldi the other day 'its really good, basically it'll cut the food bill in half and its all just as good'.........fair enough lets give it a crack. 3 minutes I lasted before I could actually feel the life being sucked out of me - that store is like a giant Dementor! The people in there looked like they were either dead, dying or wanted to die. Nothing to do with being proud - if I had no money I'd shop there but jesus! Picking through rebranded food that I just don't get! If you don't mind 'own brand' foods then just go to a normal supermarket and buy 'own brand'..........then you don't have to deal with human detritus dragging their weary carcasses around Aldi! The best way I can associate the experience is with is going to a 'shopping centre' or a 'precinct' in one of those little towns that was economically and socially left behind in the 1980s - Runcorn, Widnes, Ellesmere Port all spring instantly to mind from my area........filled with weary souls sporting alcoholic odors, behemothic teenage mums sporting fluorescent tracksuits and Elizabeth Duke Jewelery (2 carat gold 'mum' matching necklace and ring set), the 'roid engraged musclebound 'otherhalf' who insists on wearing a vest even though its January (usually sporting the names of his various progeny tattoo'd on his neck), old women with whispy beards and a cat in their handbag....... and finally lest we forget the WW2 veteran painfully shuffling along with an armful of Aldi bags because his state pittance won't stretch to a weeks shopping from Tesco. ...........what were were talking about again? Oh yeah!...........keep the car if you can stay out of Aldi mate Top notch writing mate....conjured up the imagery perfectly.... I have to say though, I've shopped at Lidl and Aldi, and there are a couple of items there that I enjoy much more over the Sainsburys stuff. Example is this cheery cocnut tart that I could only ever find in Aldi, and I think Lidl does this awesome Orange stuffing Pork Roast, it's the nicest pork roast I've ever had, couldn't believe it when my Mother in Law told me she bought it from Lidl, this was two Xmas's ago.
  12. £6500 for a HR engine car? The equivalent UK motor would be about 12k easy...that's 5.5k difference..... Do people really think there is a circa 5k difference between an import and an UK spec? Think I would like to buy cheap and sell cheap for the same motor...
  13. oh my god!! How cheap! Man, I am a bit gutted that this came up for sale so early....
  14. wow, good eyes folks...I looked over that ad twice and didn't twig it was an import...
  15. What do people think of this one? It seems a hell of a buy: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p
  16. It's to do with the way the Chinese calculates the annual calender, they call it the moon calender, so because they adhere to a different format of dates, hence it's new years like two days ago..... Japanese don't use this method....so no Japanese new year.... I think the mexicans may have also a different way of calculating days...the old aztecs....
  17. Hello All, I've been trying to buy a 350z for ages....and through the spotted on ebay, I found a bargain....well I think it is anyway.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-Nissan-350Z- ... 240%3A1318 I haggled them down to 11.5k! And when I said no to that, he implied he could go lower. That's the ebay link. I was going to chop my civic type r in, until they would only give me 5k for it.... It needs two tyres, but they said they would put new ones on. It needs a P1 service at 27000 mile mark, but they said they would do that also. Or better still haggle some more money off and get Nissan to do it (keep the book stamped up) It's had two owners, the last owner had it for a year. It's had a P1 and a P2 service. They will MOT and tax it for 6 months. I just feel that I can't go and buy the motor and then try and sell my civic... The car is in Wales, and if it's a bit far, GIXXERUK off this forum is even willing to check it out for you! I think, if you ask him nicely..! The guy selling is a chap by the name of Ian Evans sounds pretty desperate. I reckon if someone walked in with cash, he'll let it go for 11k.. Mods, this isn't a advertising post, I just feel that if someone is thinking of getting a yellow GT4, they could potentially pick this one up on the cheap!
  18. He's said no to 11k.....but is willing to meet me half way betwen 11k and 12.6k hmmmmmmmm................
  19. which forum member owned this motor?? I have made an offer of 11k on this motor and is waiting on a part ex value on my CTR.... Is this a pukker motor?? Looks it anyway....
  20. how much did you pay for your 04?
  21. nice one...although you must have too much time on ur hands....... saying that, when did u buy ur motor?? Just recently, as I want to buy an 06 but I don't want to spend 15k...
  22. well after the initial excitement, I kinda lost interest as my ITR was great...then when I sold the teg this year, I talked myself out of buying one, as I was getting married, hence mucho dollars on the wedding and honeymoon.... but now what with the prices plummeting!!
