I think I remember that being suggested before but suspect he's been to busy fettling Zeds to get round to it. So lets just get zedrush to do it for him... im sure he could quote the entire stock of ESR??

Or what would make it even easier would be if there was a stickied thread containing all the usual parts people order from BigPhil, which he updated with prices and availability. JWT Pop Charger £95 Nismo v1 Kit £xxx etc etc

i hear it with my windows up too. Every morning when i pull off my driveway, and it annoys the sh1t out of me.

Yeh i agree - regrease is a temporary fix. Didn't someone put together a kit to fix this issue? I need to start looking into this myself as it affects my car too!

Yeh - good idea for topic - whats the worst courtesy car you've ever had?? Mine was a green R-reg diesel Corsa last year. I drove to work a different route (about 15mins longer) just so i didnt have to drive through my town center incase anybody i knew saw me!

Yep, i'd drive that. Looks sweet!

I've got the tip and i have to say i love it. I'd never driven an auto before but as this is my daily driver and i sit in a lot of traffic, i decided to get one. It takes about 2 weeks to get used to - when i was really going for it i used to keep pressing the imaginary clutch, but also hitting the gear lever trying to change gear As for responsiveness - under normal driving its excellent, but if im overtaking someone, i'll use the manual override and drop down to third, to power past the car infront. If you dont do this - it takes about 1 second from you putting your foot down until you get the power - which is a bit scary when you pull out and then have to wait for the power! However, can anyone answer me this - i want to go on track later this year - will this be okay with the auto??

What did you wire them into buddy? Is there a footwell light already in your car? If not, how did you find the feed for the map lights and get it down to the footwell?

19's it is then. Anyone selling up in July?

Damn it... you're just making it worse!! I've seen these already and i'd have them tomorrow, but i've gotta wait till the end of July for my annual bonus! a matter of timing indeed!

Hi guys, Im sure this must have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on it... Im looking to get some wheels in July, but have only got a small budget of £1k max. I know that this isn't gonna get me anything particularly brilliant, but as long as they look good i'll be happy. I'll be running some winter wheels anyway so they should last even if they're not the best! Anyway - i want them to look right on the car, so can i get away with 18's, without lowering, or do i really need 19's? If i do go for 18's, whats the smallest tyre aspect ratio i could get away with... could i have 40/18's or would i need 45's etc....? I dont want to blow my load on some 18's and then end up needing to spend another £500 to lower it to stop people laughing at it....!!!!

THERE'S A LIMIT??!!

Voted buddy.

I'd definitely be up for that! I'd suggest the A537 'Cat & Fiddle' road as a great drive out - but i'd imagine a lot of people have done it already? I saw about 20 zeds 3 years or so ago up there, when i was in my little mk3 golf! There is also 'bangers'/StockCar racetrack up in Buxton, which you can go and watch on various weekends in the summer - that would be a meet with a difference - drive up there and watch that for a couple of hours?? Just throwing ideas out here... Chris.

So whens the next meet???? Im just recovering from back surgery at the moment so cant drive for 3 more weeks - cos i'd have definitely been there otherwise!

I like it pal. Good choice.

Sorry to hijack but H5, how part worn are the RE040's, and what size are they? Im after 1x rear RE040R in 17" (235/50/17) in as new condition as possible - i've got 3 of these almost brand new (which i paid £115 incl wheels - delivered), i just need a 4th but dont want to pay much for it!!

Im with you - bmw's offer something different. I've said in another thread before that i thought my 328Ci had more go in 5th than my Z does. If one got the jump on you you'd struggle to catch it. However, i went up against a new shape 325 saloon last week through a few sets of traffic lights and it had nothing on the z at all - so the guy gave me a nice '5 knuckle shuffle sign'.

As i've said before, i would never go to a main dealer for anything. I had new pads fitted on the rear of my z 2 months ago, and the garage said its the easiest car they've ever changed the pads on as the handbrake assembly is separate from the rear hub, so they only charged me £20 for labour, and the pads were only £40 (non-brembo brakes). I'd recommend getting the parts from Phil @ ESR as everyone has said, as these'll be cheaper than what Nissan would charge you. Then just get them fitted at any garage - i had mine done at National Tyres in Macc. Great service. Anyone can change discs and pads.

ok im kidding, but look at this! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/M3-SMG-L ... dZViewItem

Hi guys, I have a jdm car but i recently replaced the offside headlight with a USA spec unit. All worked perfectly until after i'd got it back together i noticed it has an extra bulb in it under where the amber reflector strip is on the side. This is now permanently on when the sidelights are on, and looks sh!t. So, i got in through the wheel arch and cut the wires leading to it, so it was simply taken out of the circuit to match the nearside headlight which doesnt have that bulb, but now, i get the fast flashing indicators when i signal right. I wasnt expecting this as surely the circuit is now the same as the nearside? There were 3 wires (surprisingly) going to the bulb - Green (live), Black, and yellow, which i've not seen anywhere else on the headlight. Could this wire be the cause? Anyway, im guessing now i need to put a resistor between the green and black wires to simulate the presence of the bulb... any ideas where i get one of these, or how too fit them? Is it a sealed unit which i attach the wires to, or do i have to fabricate a holder for it or something? Cheers Chris.

Sorry chesterfield, i should have said - i know you can do that! I'll always use Search All, so its just that instead of it taking 1 click to search, i have to go back to my mouse and make a second click! It didnt used to bother me but im using a laptop nowadays, and these trackpads are shite! Im being picky cos im a computer programmer by profession, and we always get customers coming back to us asking for things like this!!!! Cheers Chris.

As the title says - i dont think search for any is useful at all... it is far to vague!

Great stuff, cheers. ...i'll take a look after work.
