Welcome pal, lovely looking zed. Would benefit from some clear front reflectors i think! What plans have you got for it?

At what point was imprexx99 being rude? I think he made a valid point, which was fairly put - not disrespectfully. I think if this thread were started 2 weeks ago the conversation would be a lot more opinionated, rather than the supra love in we've got here (after the ibherdesign debacle ). It seems that a few people are biting their tongues! Obviously we cant all like the same cars (apart from the zed), and supra's have never appealed to me in the slightest, partly due to the t0ssers around here that drive/drove them, and partly to do with the interior. It is imprexx99's opinion, and mine, that someone should be paying me to drive a Supra... and i'd much prefer an r34 skyline too, but that personal choice and its a free forum. I've always been the type of person to not say anything if i havent got something nice to say BUT the condescending nature of some of the OP's posts have prompted me to make my point. Ricky, no offence meant to you personally, you'll see that i've posted helpfully on your other threads, and even tried to hook you up with Lexx here, but imagine someone coming to your forum with a sierra cosworth or something and asking your members if they want an upgrade... you'd tell them to f*ck off

In the higher gears, i dont think the zed is that great. I've said it before on here - i had more torque in 4th and 5th in my 328ci bmw and would always overtake in 5th.. but the zed i usually drop down to 3rd

+1 sagaris is my fave realistic car. If only thy'd drop in price another 10k...

Mate, just cos its fast doesnt make it an upgrade. The zed is not really a quick car, and i dont really think it tries to be. The zed is hot car to look at currently though, probably as the supra once was back in the 90's. The zed turns everyone's heads now, whereas i feel like the supra would just turn the heads of blokes in their 30's, IMHO of course ...and coming on here and keep telling everyone that Supra's are better than zeds will not get you very far at all

Happy birthday pal.

Good skills ho. The canards really finish off the v2 nicely on white.

Very nice. I really want this splitter.

Whats wrong with Youtube stan?

Holy mother of god what a fecker... feel for you mate, thats horrible.

Ooh nice one... i'll get that now.

All these people binning their cars must have come from a FWD background. I've only ever driven RWD and i never have problems (touch wood!). It never steps out on me unexpectedly. I even like my stock bridgestone tyres as i feel that their levels of grip are quite progressive and i can control when i want to step it out... im not looking forward to upgrading as i used to run Falkens on my 19's and i didnt feel as happy not knowing where the edge of grip was, if that makes sense?

So, rather than risk damaging the exhaust, they're just gonna replace it?? Why dont they heat it and if it damages it - then replace it

Love it.

I have used Car Audio Center in the past without any problems, although only mail order... And i've seen their Ice zed too. Wasnt anything special. Other than that, i cant help you mate, sorry.

Hi Steve, Im now coming to this... i managed to find the funds Im there this saturday too with the other drift outfit... This is a great event people, you should check it out...

Welcome mate. My mate has an 07 plate type r... and he's always looking at zeds on Piston Heads... but i wont let him get one

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=27138 See Lexx 2/3 way down...

Try PMing LEXX mate... i think he's in the marked for a Supra?

I think maybe thats what i was thinking of

That looks very very sexy in black. How old are you, if you dont mind me asking (as you've only had 3 cars!)? I've had 7 cars since 2004!

I dont think there is a better middle ground between 18 and 20 than a good 19 is there? Mark, this thread is bringing back faint memories, werent you talking about carbon lip wheels about a year ago? Or was it a vinyl finish or something? Or i might have dreamt it.

Insurance is a postcode lottery mate. When i was 23, the cheapest quote i could get was £3600, and i had to wait till i was 24 for it to drop to £2550. And then i bought the car. (apologies to everyone, i must have posted this fact 5 times in the last few weeks - i wish people would use the damn search button!!!!) See, i SERIOUSLY wanted a zed - there was nothing else that would have done for me... and i was happy to pay the £2550 insurance. In fact, it made the car seem even more special the fact that there was this 'ownership tax' so to speak. In total in my first year of ownership, with my loan, insurance, and petrol (70miles a day) i was paying out close to £900 A MONTH just to keep it on the road, excluding tax/maintenance, and mods 2 years on and would i pay that now...? No - i've grown up, and im kicking myself for wasting all that money - but in your early 20's you dont give a sh!t about the future... you're just bothered about impressing chicks and your mates, and what better way than to do it than with a zed, right? One thing i will say though, is if you're buying a zed, but are still living at home off your parents, then thats not cool Get saving for your own place!

Welcome pal. Nice low mileage for an 04 plate. Now you just need some spacers and a stubby

Yeh definitely not an insurance job... i'd keep my eye out for a 2nd hand bumper in blade and swap it yourself...
