    Width ?

    No chance, you need to squeeze out past the door which barely opens enough to do so and you will catch the side of the seat every single time. The VXR is much easier to escape from in that respect, it's a real PITA in the Zed but it is doable. I just know that one day I'm going to park too close to the left hand side in the garage and then hear that SSSCCCCRRRAAAPPPEEE noise and then cry like a girl
  2. I wouldn't be buying a car that didn't have two things that I really wanted, and especially not from someone who doesn't know how big 5" actually is: His missus must be so disappointed. Also mismatched tyres, And The Use Of Caps For Every Word Is Quite Irritating. Still, if you're already decided on it then I'm not sure what use our opinions are. Leather retrim will be from about £600+ I would expect depending on what you want and where you go, Brembos are easy to pick up from someone like Zmanalex on here. That said, do the Brembos even fit a 17" wheel? I don't know, genuine question.
  3. Agreed, and that's why I prefer them. I took my girlfriend's MR2 mk3 out for a blast the other weekend and on country lanes where power really doesn't matter, I reckon I was quicker over 90% of them in that than I would be in the Zed. The perfection of the balance is just so wonderful, they really are an absolute joy to drive.
  4. God damn that's beautiful

    GTR Alloys on 350Z

    Personally I don't like them. They make the car look too small, like a giant rollerskate or something.
  6. Just get the correct sizes, even if you have to wait.

    Exactly what I had to do when I had my VXR, and it's a damn sight harder to get out of the Zed in my garage. The VXR never had the roof on in the garage so like you say it's a piece of cake to get out of, however I have to park the Zed to one side just to give myself enough room to squeeze out of.
  8. Ship to where? Weight is approx 90kg so courier isn't going to be peanuts, but if you're happy to pay it I will consider shipping if you want to get a few quotes.
  9. Pay for it like everyone else I would imagine
  10. With two knobs the front one adjusts the front of the seat base up/down, the second knob does the rear of the seat base up/down.
  11. I don't know if having a 30 profile all round is keeping the rolling radius the same. If you use the link I supplied then you'll see that it keeps the rolling radius as close to original specs as is possible. Don't just take my word for it, give it a go yourself and see.
  12. What he meant was is that it's not a 313ps HR engined MY07 car. It certainly is a 2007 car though.
  13. Nice wall/fence Car must've been made just before the MY07 HR revision assuming the bonnet is standard, but all the cool kids have the revup anyway Good to see you've got the roof down too
  14. Use this and all shall be revealed 245/30/20 and 285/30/20 are the correct sizes if you're going to keep the rolling radius the same.
  15. None do, and you have to change the head unit to do it properly. A search reveals all.
  16. Sports car = 2 doors, 2 seats, mid-engined, convertible. SEOT
  17. RE040 = rubbish tyre RE050A = very good tyre Now you tell me what the difference between front and rear grip balance is going to be like now.
  18. Love the way it says on the advert, 'SAFETY FEATURES... AIRBAG DRIVER, AIRBAG PASSENGER': Whilst technically they're both still there, not sure they're of much use now!
  19. How the hell do you do 130 leptons without realising it?! That's driving idiocy.
  20. I think going backwards and forwards like this isn't helping anyone really. When you source parts from one place and get somewhere else to fit it, you take on a certain amount of responsibility yourself, and issues like you mention are not uncommon. I'm not saying that you don't have cause to feel wronged, but looking at it from an outside view it would appear that your anger should lie more with A To Z and LUK than with Envy IMHO. Couriers are a PITA at the best of times, and it's not always as cut and dried with their collection/delivery times as we would like.
  21. Right, gotcha. I still disagree though even if that's the case: Sometimes things go wrong in business and it's not always the fault of the company, and whilst it's always important to maintain customer relations it's not worth doing it all the time when it's not your fault, as you'd soon not have a business to run with all the excess costs! Had the flywheel supplied by the OP been fine then there would've been no issues here, but from that one thing it's all spiralled out of control and gotten steadily worse. No one has come out of this with no blame, but it's important for all parties to move on and learn their lessons.
  22. I disagree. It's always good to hear both sides of the story, and in this case not only has Gaz argued his case but (more importantly) he has apologised for the mistakes made. I'd rather hear an honest answer like that than the complete denials we had from Rik recently.
  23. Exactly right. If you've got 32GB of music in your car, then why would you need CDs? I don't miss them at all, especially not the fannying around of either carrying loads in the car or running out of tunes because you haven't got enough.
