All joking aside, a proper metal cleaner, something a little bit more oomph that the Meguiars Metal cleaner would have done the job. Always rather shy of steel wool, eek. Looks like it's come up nicely though.

Looks aggressive, keep it, in my opinion.

Haha, not us. [insert angelic emoticon here, if we had one]

All abroad, for Zedsville!! It sounds like boarding a plane. Anyway Karl, welcome to the nutty Zed forum.

Lol, so did he also tell you, we're all a little bit nuts. That's Zed drivers for you. Welcome!!! Happy shopping mate.

Welcome Cyas. Pretty accurate comments from Sarnie there. Nice Bimmer you had there. Happy Zed shopping!

Any new Christmas toys for your Zeds??

I have worked in the motorcyle industry in the past. Having seen a hell of a lot of bikes that have been thrown down, and the matching helmets, DON'T scrimp on helmets, get the best you can afford. Ever seen a car helmet, where the drivers helmet has smashed into the roll cage, even with the foam over the cage? I'm being brutal here for a reason. Don't be a temporary citizen please, any of you. "You get what you pay for". The old adage applies here big time.

Now how could anyone find that offensive. Nothing wrong with a bit of light hearted humour.

Merry Xmas to all you tiddly Poms.

Welcome Macca. You're on to it.

Merry Christmas all!! Just had Xmas lunch, when it's only early hours of the morning for you lot.

Welcome Martin. Quite professional looking photos you have there.

Nice belts!!!! A few different cars I co-drive for in trials and rallies on a regular basis. One in particular changed over to much better belts recently. The Twist system is damn hard to deal with, especially if you have gloves on.

Loving all the blue tones!! Is it what!!! Hugely shiny!!!

Strosek is like Ibeherdesign, quite different, not cheap, and great because not many people would be brave enough to do it or have deep enough pockets. I personally like the Strosek stuff. The only thing I'd do differently is perhaps paint of have cover put over the metal bit connecting the top of the wing. Apart from that very nice.

Basically the weight and the composition of the helmet. Motorbike helmets are much heavier, not quite so desirable in a car. As with any helmet, don't scrimpt, get the best you can afford, pretty important to protect your skull. Also in my opinion, full face helmet is always the way to go. Just picture the worst case scenario with an open face. Not pretty.

Market force I'm afraid. US is about the cheapest. As you'll see from the number of members on my350z.

Welcome Stan. If it's an option for you, I'd probably consider keeping the daily driver (that should keep going for a long while yet), and maybe get the 350 as a bit of fun on the side.

Welcome Al. What year 350 are you thinking about, each have their own little quirks. Hehe, you don't often hear economy and 350 mentioned in the same sentence. They're generally a lot of fun to drive, focus on that. In all seriousness, they're not too uneconomical for a reasonable sized V6. It all depends what your driving style is like.

Welcome Chris. Good luck on the quest for Zed ownership again, second time around.

What are you guys worried about? You're English, you like warm beer. Right now, back to the thread.

Yes I do. RWD 6 sp coupes are the only way for me. It's the only way to go isn't it.

Noah is running an LS2. That project hasn't been finished for very long, only a few months. He's an active member on my350z. Have a noisey around the FI threads there etc.

Welcome. I'd recommend trying something like Rainex or Prestone (if you have those brands in the UK) rain dispursants. That will help the worst of it slide off. If you're talking about the inside of the glass on the hatch, try the Meguiar's NXT Glass Cleaner, gets the mucky film off, and keeps it nice for a fair good while.
