Hi all... I won an auction for a set of standard 18" alloys at the weekend (Thanks Coldel!) that im going to put on the car over winter... Now... im quite tempted to paint them bright orange to spice them up a bit. Has anyone got any pics of this on any other cars? Kind of like the below:

One again col you've gome up with the eBay goods for me I've just won these for £156... bargain! Now i can take my Volks off for the winter Cheers pal.

Thats grim.... RIP Need to be signed into youtube to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iehcVYZq ... celli%2Bcr

October - Marzman. (Very high res available)

The defending... it's DREADFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so gutted The attacking play is great and much more realistic, but having to time your tackles to perfection is crap. And i hate the invisible walls stopping your defender get to close to the attacker when closing them down. In Fifa 11 i get most frustrated when i cant get the ball as it's unrealistic, and now the entire game is like this. Hate it. ...and i thought i was saved when i found the legacy defending option but thats only for use in single player, and the only mode i play at all is online ranked matches.

I do... very rare MOMO optional wheel. ...i'll sell it to you for £250 Is this a joke? Or a real offer *dons newb hat* Im not sure. The wheel is very rare so it's probably worth something... so i reckon £250 would be the price to make me part with it.

I dont play racing games that often anymore as i dont usually have the time to devote to them, but seeing as EA have ruined Fifa 12 i need to find a new game to play at night. So, the adverts for F1 2011 have tempted me this year so i've just rented it tonight, and up to now im well impressed!! I've only done Friday practice at Melbourne in my first Grand Prix so far, but it seems really good! It's not arcadey/easy like most racing games, it seems very realistic! You even have buttons for Kers and DRS... but deploying them is difficult as i dont want to move my hands on the controller as im concentrating so much ...looking forward to my first race!

We had one about 3 weeks ago so it wont be quite so soon... maybe we should do something else like a run up to the Cat&Fiddle or something for a photoshoot...?

I vote McDonalds car park (Joking).

Good question! 1) My home made paddle shift kit for my previous Auto zed - transformed the car 2) 2 regrets - 1 - fitting the K1, which i quickly removed, and 2 - i paid someone on here for a carbon wrap of my center console and it was dreadful. I lived with it for about a year before stripping it, sanding and repainting it all

Look for leaking fluid from them for a sure sign that they're shot. Also a visual inspection of the rubber mounting at the top of them should also give a good indication of the life left on them.

I used to have a stack of spotted cards but i gave them away when i sold my last zed. Need some more...

Cool, good stuff, good luck! Hope it stays dry for you Was it you telling me there was a blue 370 in Tytherington with a black 370 just down the road too?? Someone was telling me this the other week... and Simon tonight said that's him...!

Holy @*!# that is gorgeous

Cool. Doing the sensible stuff first then i see. What track day are you looking at doing?

I might struggle for this actually as im going to the F1 in Monaco in May... and then to Africa in September... so cross me off the list, but i'll keep an eye on things and may re-add myself if things change.

Quality... mini meet! Any pics of your zed?

My mate from work has just txt me about this... im recording it now.

Hi, I met a guy called Simon today at Tytherington shops with a blue 370z, and sent him in the direction of the forum, so hopefully he'll see this!

Great post.

Tyres have been discussed many many times on here... ...from my experience i didnt really like the Falkens, and i've had Vredsteins on a previous car and wasnt really a fan. However the Goodyear Eagle F1's that i've got at the moment are awesome. So much grip (taken them on track a couple of times and they're amazing)

I do... very rare MOMO optional wheel. ...i'll sell it to you for £250

Cool cheers mate. Am watching them both now.

That was the convincer for me and kept it in mind for this year. Don't fancy running (and ruining) my Volks this winter like I did last winter. I've been keeping my eye out for a cheap-ass set of wheels as im nervous about my Volks too. Did you really wreck them with the salt? I saw your pictures pre-refurn and they looked pretty bad...! Did you put any wax or sealant on them before last winter? This weekend just gone i put some spray on wheel wax on mine (supposed to do 2 or 3 sprays... i did about 100 per wheel!!) Yeah, I did try my best to protect them, but salt is a bit of a bugger and I'll be honest, I didn't fancy doing that every single day. It just got under the micron thin anodisation layer that the Volks are finished with to give them that mirror finish. Once it got under I got the telltale snailtrails of corrosion and the like. Took the refurbisher a while to get all of that anodisation off tbh. Thanks Mark...thats worrying then...! I think im going to sorn the zed from Dec-March this winter... hopwfully the wheels will be okay without the car being driven.

Lovely car and cool write up... nice one stew. ...and i was already reading the quote in a Dolmio accent in my head before i even got to your line
