A Skoda Octavia. Ok, now you have stopped laughing they are actually reasonably well made now. You can get a 1.9TDi in better condition than you would any more popular car, you could have an estate, and you wont care if you scratch it so much A big plus is that getting back into the Z will be sooooo good

A flash and a wave from a very attractive young lady Actually I think that is the first time that another 360Z driver has acknowledged a wave/flash, so thanks

That colour is sooo cool You will have seen my blue butt disappear over the horizon

You were going in to see the bike racing. You may have seen my blue butt going into the air museum car park

Chris, seeing your comment here, is the reason insurance companies classify my nismo kit as a mod because although I am buying direct from Nissan, it doesn't actually leave the factory with the kit on!? Am a little confused! As far as I know, yes. If the car had been supplied with those nice Nismo wheels from new then no problem, but if you add them on later they don't much care where you bought them from they 'make the car more desirable' and so more of a risk.

Good luck mate, I really mean it. A chilli red was exactly what I wanted 6 months ago - and I live in Newcastle too! I would have bitten your hand off and half the arm with it! You have a good colour so I reckon that keeps the price up above the GMs (sorry guys). I hope it goes to someone local for my sake so I can wave to them and keep an eye on it for you

Phil scores on my bank account even when on holiday A P3 with new plugs is enough money but I took the opportunity to have a Y-pipe fitted to match up with the 5zigen, and a plenum spacer for good luck. Some dimpled EBC front disks were also strapped on. The brakes are much firmer and although they are still bedding in a bit, the stopping power now seems to be what I would expect with the DS2500 pads. Those old disks must have been pretty knacked. The Y pipe is a *must* with the 5zigen. The loud drone at 2.5k revs (just where you sit the revs if you are pootling around) has now gone. Well actually it is still there when you floor it, it has just mellowed away for the part-throttle which is just what you want. Tone has really improved all round. The spacer seems to have given much better torque. At last, a mod that really works Mid-range torque is noticeably effective but the nicest thing is that everything now seems so effortless with the car just gliding around and purring, but put your foot down and wahayyy!!! Instant Fun! One puzzling thing is that when really pushing hard there is an odd, faint whistling coming from somewhere. It's not bad, actually it sounds quite good, but I can't work out where it is coming from. Anyone with any of my mods got something similar? It could be more flow through the Y, the pop-charger or the plenum - I just can't tell ! As usual the service and quality of work was excellent and once again a glowing recommendation for ESR.

Ah, you have to be quick around here when posting Oh, and

Nothing is a mod if it comes as factory standard fit. Your Rays are part of the GT pack so you are safe. HOWEVER, buy insurance with the option to add mods later without getting ripped off as it is very tempting to put some nice little mods on

oh, now I`m last on the list

Because they are inherently lazy

You must have it now so the time is right to say:

Stanski, was the letter signed by a Nigerian prince with cash-flow problems? "You have a faulty alarm, bring you car to dock 3, merseyside wharf and leave it in container A".

I wish this could happen to all of the destructive little tw@ts around here... http://www.kontraband.com/videos/12270/ ... enge/#show

I don't know if it damages the alloy but it certainly won't do the lacquer any good. Not sure how he can fob you off - a refurb is a refurb, not a clean. If the result is not acceptable then they have to sort it out! Letter to the boss id ok but a face-to-face chat might be quicker

Yes, I`d have one of those. I currently use a 50p lick and stick and it never falls off (I must have sticky spit), but it is boring and a forum one would be sweet

Laughing so much that one can't help but pass a small amount of urine...

I did ask and its his Dad that made it. He said to make it worth while though he would have to charge about £300 to get the rack, fabricate the bits, powdercoat it. Thats 3x what I paid for it, and for me it would be too much to pay. If you'd be happy to pay that then I can pass on your details and see what he says. Um, in a word... no I don't need a rack that badly yet

Looks very professional. I wonder if he fancies making another

Hi Chris, did you ever post a pic of the bike rack on the car? I need to get a rack myself but an dithering about what to get.

Very good, and I don't even like football!

I was bereft!

Once again, the GF Oh well, I`ll meet him again when the Y-pipe and plenum spacer go on, next week Who said fat slow and torqueless anyway? Baz, hes the old chairman, He's had quite a few GT4's most of them the older 185 which are very heavy and he's not light himself Well I`m slim with all my hair so I`m happy

Ah yes, youngters eh, so keen to talk tough I don't want to sound sour because it was a fair fight and he won, but I know which car I`d rather be seen in.
