I paid over the top for mine by a long way I reckon (£25K, 5000 miles, rev-up MY06), but everytime I drive the thing I simply don't care. It's the exact spec I wanted and came from a NMGB dealer with low miles which ticked every box on my wanted list. I could've had a much faster car for what I paid, or a better looking one, or something with a bigger engine in, but that's not what I wanted. There'll always be something better/cheaper out there if you look, but with car purchases we always tend to follow our hearts and not our heads. Best way I reckon

+1 That car has been superseded by 3 generations now, so there's no chance I'd be paying anything over maybe £18K for it, and that's on a generous day. Whilst I can admire the work that's gone into creating something like that, unless it's going to live at the drag strip then there's very little fun to be gained from it IMHO. Even as a track toy it's going to be passed by Caterhams all day long on anything other than the very longest straights. Seeing as the new engine has only done 4K miles, I'm guessing the seller agrees with me

Cheers Phil *googles for other pics of said kit* O. M. F. G! No offence meant personally Kev, but your pics are actually the best I can find of that kit!

Heh, the more I look at it the more I like the rear! Which kit is it anyway?

That front is absolute gash, but the back is somewhat better (the spoiler is a little too large IMHO, but then so are most Zed spoilers so there you go). That front though... Honestly... Tell me you won the bet? Each to their own bud anyways, it's your car not mine and as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Hell, it might just be the angle of the photos and it could look okay in the flesh for all I know.

Count yourself lucky, 97 is at £1.16 around here atm Some of those headlight designs are simply incredible. If I ever get some spare cash, I'm definitely going to have to give those guys a call.

Tbh the louder the better really. One of my previous cars was a turbo'd MR2 Roadster with a 3" exhaust and a tiny silencer and I thought that was lovely, and my last car (VXR220) had a Milltek on which was nice when you booted it, but far too quiet otherwise. Had to be like that though else I'd never have passed track noise regs. I thought this time I'd make the most of having a car where you can actually easily get the exhaust off/on and put something silly loud on for the weekends and then put the stock box back on for track. Job's a carrot

Ordered my one today as well I get the feeling as though it'll be stupid loud too, seeing as how Phil must've spent a good 10 mins warning me just how loud it actually is! Thing is, if it's quite loud on the coupés, then how loud is it actually going to be on my roadster with the roof down?! Can't wait

This scheme will never happen, as has been said the cost is simply too high. Besides, they'll put them all in on the motorways anyway which are deathly boring at the best of times, so I'll happily stick to tearing up the countryside and the twisties if that's okay with you.

Or you could just accept that you have a totally different car and not try and get in a pissing contest. If you really want an M3 that badly then flog the Zed and buy one. Either way, an M3 with 340bhp is still going to be quicker than a Zed with 310bhp. Don't worry about it, and simply enjoy the fact that you own a car that you like, and be damned what anyone else thinks.

Love to see it with the bungs, and a standard track noise test (0.5m and 45degs from exhaust at 3/4 rpm) both with and without the bungs would be great. If the bungs can make it track-friendly then I'll most definitely be ordering one

Guys, you do realise that this is all a wind up? Clicky And again *EDIT* It even says so on the petition as well.

Not anymore: Is up to a far more sensible 9K IIRC. I like the idea of owning a Jap turbo nutter barge of some description one day, but it'll be when I simply have to have 4 doors and 4 seats. Until then, I'm sticking firmly with 2. It'll be interesting to see how well the paddle shift holds up over a few years, and whether it starts to eat clutches or has a few electronic foibles that could prove expensive to fix.

and just for your info, if it does get damaged, when you ring up tell them the damage has only just happened. any delay at all and they won't repair it. was told that by a repairman who sorted mine out Now that's handy to know, thanks!

I went into DFS last weekend looking for a simple black leather three-seat sofa, and they had absolutely bugger all (both in terms of anything nice or anything not silly money). Popped into ScS and picked up a gorgeous one with two power recliners either end for £1650, and that with their 'pop a hole in the leather and we'll replace the whole sofa' guarantee thing. Hopefully it should come in about 8-10 weeks. Can't wait!

Very true, I got caught doing 106mph on a 70mph dual-carriageway and only got 3pts and £60. That was getting stopped by proper police officers at the time though and not via a letter through the door a few days later. Had that been the case I've no doubt I'd have been hauled up before the courts.

That much over is a close call between 3pts + £60 and a court appearance. I'm going to go sadly for the latter. Best dust that nice suit off

So which is it? Either you completely remove the stock ECU (a la PowerFC et al) or you piggyback with the existing (e-Manage).

Do Nissan sell a special set just for the Zed, or is it a case of getting something generic and hoping for the best?

Daihatsu Copen. Cute little things, and with bags of character. Great photo too

I wedge my old-stylee TT500 in the cubby hole above the stereo. Job's a carrot.

Go to a regular motorbike shop and try a few on and see what kind of shape is comfortable on your head. No need to spend a fortune unless you really want to. I got mine from Demon Tweeks as they had a lot of them in there to try on when I was up that way for a TD at Anglesey.

That answers that one then, ta! Doesn't look as nice as I'd hoped it would sadly, so I think I may well end up leaving mine with the fat arse it came from the factory with.

Does the OEM spoiler fit the Roadster with no issues then?
