Nice one Chilly - is that on the Berks?

I'm pretty local to you, do you do fitting or can you recommend someone to install them?

Wonder if it would be possible to do a side exit set up!

Nice one mate, very unusual

Can see why you were put off cutting into the bumper

keen to see what this looks like mate - gave up on the 4 pipe option then?

I wouldnt be surprised if Virgin bought it, just to park it somewhere with a logo on it! Dissapointing that it's most likely going to leave the UK.

Great - lets give it a week, gauge some interest and chat to traders

Register interest here and we can get agreement on which type / prices etc.

Following on from this topic, viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21467

Please register your interest in a Hi-Flo cat group buy. Open to discussion on different manufacturers and prices.

Lets see where it goes....

Would it really be £500? If Adam does these for $550

Are Berk the best ones going?

Enough interest for a group buy to get a good discount?

Depends on your budget mate, if I were you, get the best pads you can afford (Performance Friction or Ferodo are popular premium pads). If no track time, OEM disks will be ok. If you want something drilled or grooved, I have been very pleased with my DBA disks.

Will hopefully get down to this again...will be very good with lighter evenings

I think good pads will always yield benefits on normal road driving. The difference of an improved disk comes with track time I think - only then do the brakes get really hot and need the benefit of increased ventilation. Better disks will be more resistance to warping from continued high temperature as well.

+1 on the disks being standard nissan items, only the calipers are Brembo.

Great write up mate

How did the connely work out?

Personally, its a lot of cash for an import so bargain hard. A newer UK Zed could be found for similar money - as for the mods, the wheels are a big bonus, but dont pay a premium for everything else as surely the perk of modding is to get exactly what you want? Agree with Sunset too

Just check PP as I was feeling guilty that I didnt pay any fee, and in the summary it says Fee: £0.00GBP, so whatever I did, it didnt ask for a fee

Me too!

For all those that live near Tim or the Surrey area, would it be a good idea to make some sort of meet at the Chillies for an "Pedal Mod Day"?

 

*stop rubbing your hands Sarah, lol*

I'm up for that

I'm in...Tim will drop you a PM

Did you give Admiral a call? I was with them when I turned 24 and including mods paid about a third of your quote. Deffo agree that adding a girl helps a lot!

Gold wheels were ok (just) on a Cleo Williams. Havent look good on anything since, especially not a Zed! That said, if they are going cheap I'll take them and get a refurb!

Dont pay income or cap gains tax on a property that is your prime residence. May be worth considering.

If you are going 2 tone, Matt black and something with a deep shine could go well. Sure there are plenty of photoshop wizards out there to give you some illustrations

I am sorry to all the digital geeks.

 

If there are (3 most beautiful cars) in history. this is one of them.

And the other two?

Mk1 e-type....DB9....original range rover? (cant let the Italians have everything!) A topic probably worthy of its own thread!

nice work - just came in from cleaning and conditioning mine with Gliptone. That Connolly look like good stuff. You may need a really fine and soft brush to get into all the perforations though!

Jeeze - so cheeky to try and charge you for warantee work! Hope it gets sorted mate though by the sounds of it might be a little longer
