You're just gutted you can't say "Needs lowering" this time

Hi,

I had an RX-8 for 18 months and changed it for the Zed I've had for the last 20 months. In my opinion the drive in the Zed is leaps and bounds ahead of the RX-8. Sure the RX-8 has fantastic steering and is very agile on a twisty piece of road but the Zed can match it (although to me the Zed does feel a little heavier). Where the Zed excels itself is with its engine. The flexibility that the Zed's torque gives you is streets apart from what you'll be used to in the RX-8. If you aren't pushing hard, you can drive everywhere in 6th gear and forget about the gearbox, its that good.

You do not get explosive acceleration but if you jump straight out of your RX-8 and get into a Zed you should notice a significant increase in drivability.

The fuel economy is slightly better than the RX-8, my on board computer tels me I am getting an average of 26.5mpg. This includes a fair bit of motorway driving but I am also very heavy footed when I'm not on the motorway so its a fair reflection of all-round usage.

I agree with most of the plus/minus points that manc350z wrote however some of my thoughts are:

The driving position for me is much better in the Zed

The steering is sharper in the RX-8 and its more nimble however the handling, especially if you like sideways action, is better in the Zed

Overall, I rate the Zed much higher than I do the RX-8 but I like them both. If you change, you will almost certainly like the Zed, unless you really are after back breaking acceleration, in which case you'll need to get a Scooby or an Evo.

and who's that wandering away in front of the car to avoid pushing............Andy???????????

I was running back to my car to get my camera!

Could be any British town/city on a Saturday night!

I bought some Redstuff's for mine about 9 months ago and they've been great. I find them a bit dustier than the standard Brembo's that were on previously but for the £200 saving I made (just the fronts ) over what the Nissan Main Dealer wanted to charge I'm perfectly happy with them.

Actually, I do remember one, it's No.4 that I know.

 

Hint: No.4 belongs to an Azure one.

Well if they were from my car you're all screwed as my fronts are different from my rears at the moment!

Hey folks,

 

I just got told by my brother (so god knows if this is true), that many garages refuse to fit tyres if I get them from the internet on my alloys because of something to do with their insurance policies. Is this true? They're very good quality tyres (Goodyear F1's).

 

Loads of you guys buy good quality tyres from places like blackcircles and get them fitted. Do you get any hassle?

 

I would of thought handing over £40-£50 for a 20 min job, loads of garages wouldn't say no (I wouldn't).

In my experience, everyone has a price

Just a shame about that dirty German in this pic.

However... If you're ever in need of a serivicing Nixy, feel free to give me a call, I quite like older women

 

 

to the top of the slap list

If there is any sort of league, I want to be

CV joints?

You don't need to go speed dating Nixy, just get yourself down to Micklegate on a Saturday night

 

Hope Markie gets well soon

 

Not you again!!!!

Just in case anyone is wondering, thats not where I'll be hanging out.

It was nice to meet you Paul and I've got to agree with Ian, none of the pictures I've seen of your car over the last 18 months have done it justice, it looks much better when viewed with the naked eye

Page 6 of this thread is becoming a bitch to open!

Its sooo hard to chose just a few good ones, dont want to miss anyone out

 

And you're the only one so far who has not posted a pic of my car

 

Fear not Andy, we were behind you for a fair bit yesterday. I believe my lady has many shots of your behind! Will post them in the next day or so

Cheers Rob, I'll look forward to seeing them. If I knew your lady was interested in my behind I would have given her a special showing

you managed to post two of the dog poo on the bin and one of louis' private area!

edit: that was for Andy

LOL!

The dog poo was quality, best part of the day for me!

I'm only teasing Chris. I originally put a smiley after my comment

Cool photos though everybody

this was something about louis and your dad having the same taste in jeans wasn't it?

I think it was something to do with my mother trying to convince my dad that ripped jeans are trendy but she is a bit of a perv so it could have just been an excuse for her to take a picture of his crotch.

Not really appropriate for this thread tbh, nobody needs reminding...

Chris, you're right, its probably in the wrong place but I can't believe I'm the only one interested in seeing the pics.

Regarding Sunset350z's Zed, I feel a little bit heartless saying this but since I am heartless I suppose it doesn't really matter:

Louis knows that wasn't me
