  1. Holy mother of god what a fecker... feel for you mate, thats horrible.
  2. Ooh nice one... i'll get that now.
  3. 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?
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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...
  7. 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

    New Car

    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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. Welcome pal. Nice low mileage for an 04 plate. Now you just need some spacers and a stubby
  15. Yeh definitely not an insurance job... i'd keep my eye out for a 2nd hand bumper in blade and swap it yourself...
  16. It feels weird for me being online... i've not really been on here since last Wednesday really as i got an iPhone and have been playing with that non-stop! I think thats my longest time away from the forum...!
  17. That sounds about right... although i think it is fair, or else registrations would never become available again.. people would hold onto them forever! But i can see both points of view.
  18. Oi quiet you... back to the fiat forum. Yeh i've just phoned the dvla and they said the same... and they'll re-register my rex as part of that...
  19. I've just been reading on the dvla website, and i think you need to pay to keep your current reg on retention... and also pay to transfer from one car to another. The crucial issues now are if my rex plate is listed as non-transferable, then i cant transfer it obviously... and how do i get a new plate for the rex.
  20. Hey guys, I've got a quick question that someone might be able to help me with... I bought an '88 Mazda RX7 recently and its got a standard plate, although its 6 characters and dateless - so you could consider it a private reg on a modern car. My question is.. could i transfer that to my zed, and have another standard plate issued for my rx7? Basically bagging myself a free private plate?? Any thoughts? Cheers Chris.
  21. I love it...! Very original. Am loving the matrix design on the bonnet. Great job.
  22. Sorry Dave... My Dog died last year at 15 years old... we originally had his mum, and then she had pups. We kept Jack, and gave his brother Ug (for ugly) to my Auntie... 15 years later, they both Died on the same day! Jack was put to sleep, and Ug had a stroke later that day. Freaky, but comforting
