  1. Agreed, but im loving the colour of the zed.
  2. Dont get a set of eBay specials. I bought a set on my previous zed and totally ruined the handling of the car as they were so heavy.
  3. Agree, check your pressures. Even a 2 or 3 psi drop on mine is noticeable.
  4. They're usually £125 for the full day (which is really good value). They're not held as often as they used to be, but the courses are operated by MSV http://www.clubmsv.co.uk/car-home/event ... uctid=1545
  5. Lets give him a chance first before telling him to be spending all his money on other stuff! It wont be cheap wrapping a car and not everyone's got ££££ a month to be spending on a car.
  6. Nismo all the way.
  7. I think 6.35 was the scariest for me. Literally no time to react, and you'd be dead straight away. You're here one second and then gone the next.
  8. Pretty grim watching... http://www.prochan.com/view?p=c93_1349102350
  9. Hi, I bought this rear diffuser on here around a month ago, but i've decided i dont want to fit it. I like the style of it, but it's not a perfect fit - you need to press quite firmly on the sides to get it to sit flush with the rear bumper - meaning that it will need bonding on using Silcaflex or Tigerseal etc etc. Not a problem for most people - but i didnt want to do this on my car. I had my brother over to help me fit it, and with his advise we built a layer of body filler on the inside of it and we were then going to 3M tape it onto the car - but with the filler it became quite heavy so the 3M tape wouldnt have held it. I had painted this myself, but then my brother added the filler and it needed a repaint, so i got halfway though re-coating it and gave up! Total waste of time and money, but you live and learn! I would say it could also do with a very light skim of body filler in places, ass there are some very minor imperfections in it. It doesnt need this though. The pictures of it on the car are just resting on my exhaust. It will actually sit higher than this, and will be flush when bonded on (not sloped down at the edges as per my pics). Anyway, i'd like back what i paid for it which was £80. I've already wasted about £40 trying to fit it so either way im out of pocket! Collection only please. Located in Macclesfield.
  10. Nice Cal, your zed's looking great.
  11. Im not a fan of altering the lettering on the back of a car. Either leave it standard or remove altogether. There's an appalling e46 saloon near me with a dreadful bodykit, with a big V6 badge on his boot (and the car's a straight six ffs. )

    No worries mate. Just be aware though that it's not the same material as the original. The genuine ones are metal, and cost about £80 if you can find them. These are like a vinyl/plastic counterpart, but with the same design.
  13. A mate drover over a tesco bag a few years ago and it melted onto his exhaust - and stayed melted on for about 2 months so he had the smell of that melting every time he drove the car anywhere! ...ever since then i've always avoided carrier bags in the road

    You can get a replica from LikwidArt, thanks to some work Biscuit did with them years ago: http://likwidart.com/index.html viewtopic.php?f=26&t=28563&hilit=likwidart Not sure about getting an original though.. try or Steve @ Redline?
  15. Correct, thats the part. Whilst searching for a replacement, eventually found in Halfords, i used the lid of a biro for a week or so in its place without any problems.
  16. Will be a £2 non return valve from halfords. Open the bonnet, remove the brake fluid cover, reach under the windscreen cowling and unclip the pipes. There will be 2 valves under there - a Y shaped valve and a non return valve. It is usually this piece which gets blocked.
  17. Will look amazing when all the bits are sorted. That bonnet overhang looks really bad though. Name and shame.
  18. Mine is not a GT4 but sounds very similar. It's only any use on high, and it seems like the thermostat (if there is one) is dodgy, as you wont feel any heat for 20mins, and then suddenly it will go nice and hot for 30 seconds and then cool down again.
  19. You sure you're not being scammed? That all looks like CGI to me
  20. Gutted. While watching Singapore last week i was trying to work out if i was a McLaren fan or a Lewis & Jenson fan. Historically i've always followed the british drivers rather than the teams, so i'll have to wait and see how i feel about this.
  21. I liked it.

    I quite like that. Never seen one before.
  23. Petrol seems to have crept up even further this week... i've just paid £1.48 for Optimax at my local station. A week ago i was paying £1.43
  24. I thought i saw a crop of white hair as the camera panned accross, but couldnt say for sure...
