  1. This is pretty much going to be impossible to diagnose without actually being there. That said, the fact it's taking 12 hours to get there means I'd put my money on it not being a leak on any of the supply pipes. A soil pipe leak is more likely. Does it happen when you take a bath or when you take a shower? Any difference in time scales? Realistically, you're going to have to start removing panels and floorboards until you find the point of the leak: I'm willing to bet that you'll soon find the section of floor/ceiling that's saturated, which will make it easier to find the problem. Also, plumber call-out on Jan 1st: Bang goes the Zed modding fund!
  2. The celebrating may now begin

    2015

    IT'S NOT 2015 YET
  4. Or [media]. Make sure you drop the s from the https part of the YT address though, the forum doesn't like it otherwise.
  5. At least people are using the search!
  6. You can get PS2s still, as they make them in N rating for 997 Porsches. PS3 was never designed to replace PS2, hence why I think it was very poor show on Michelin to brand them as such.
  7. Spain definitely has 97+. You can get it anywhere, as I stopped in some pretty remote places when I did my tour last year and never had an issue.
  8. Ah well, one good way to find out, just fit it!
  9. Heh, that's awesome!
  10. Police are like doctors, there's no real need for them to know every single law ever. For the most part, a basic overview is more than enough.
  11. Serious though, the 350 is a much more fun car in every way that counts.
  12. I've driven a 2015 Ferrari California, and I'd rather have a 350Z.
  13. Pearoast He's right, though.
  14. The fuel thing would bother me more than some questionable ownership or a missed service on a car of that age. I'd walk too, I think. Are Zeds cheaper in Germany then? Or is that just the next biggest market? US imports an option?
  15. Apologies if I've missed this bit mate, but what's the weight difference between the V6 and S6 engines? Just wondering as you may have wanted to change front spring rates to suit, although possibly a little late for that now if you've already ordered
  16. It's an 8 year old car, I wouldn't worry about who has driven it. It might have been babied by granny, or thrashed by Chavvy Dave, you'll never know. As long as it's been serviced properly with the right number of stamps, and all else seems fine, go with your gut. Just try and find out if it's been fuelled on 97ron or higher, that's quite critical. They may lie, woo just ask casually if you can use 95 in it: If they say it's fine because they always did, then walk.
  17. She failed Emissions (not remotely surprising, but I can get round that elsewhere) and parking brake failure (can't remember if it was nearside or offside though). Passed on the bloody regular brakes though! They're going to sort the parking brake out in the new year, as I can no longer be arsed to do it myself. She's putting out about 200bhp for insurance purposes, I genuinely don't know the exact bhp as I've never had it on a dyno and I don't really want to be chasing figures anyway. Stock MR2 is 1050kg, I'm running no soft top or interior & one seat, definitely lost weight from the rear end despite the turbo setup, so I reckon she weighs around 850kg minus the hardtop. That's about 235bhp/ton, so for anyone else as a comparison a stock DE 350Z is 185bhp/ton. You'd need around 355bhp in a Zed to equal what the MR2 is running at. I run 888s on the car regardless of winter, summer, sun or snow, road or track.
  18. Yes, that would definitely count as a material change of terms. They probably won't care though.
  19. No news yet... Been over an hour, hopefully they're just trying really hard to get it through! Nothing booked up so far, as I wanted to make sure there were no issues with the MOT and I still want to work some more on the brakes before I book anything up. Means I'll miss my annual trip to Spa in March, which is ironically exactly why I felt I needed a turbo in the first place.
  20. MOT time today, first since the turbo has gone on... And the bugger wouldn't start first thing! I'm so glad I bought that power pack from Halfrauds a few years back, just saved my bacon. Took her for a run around the block, all seemed okay and she started again when I stopped her at the test centre. I very much doubt she'll pass on emissions, and even less so on the brakes (which still aren't 100%), but I await with interest what they say about the rest of the car.
  21. No probs
  22. The selling section on Nutz is ruined now, after the rejig. I tried selling my bits on there, but got pretty much zero response because it's too hard to browse.
  23. PS1 came first. They were okay. PS2 came next. Massive upgrade of the PS1, and the definitive tyre for 18"+. PS3 then followed. Aimed at a much smaller car (MX-5 et al), and whilst they were good they weren't a patch on the PS2. Poor naming on Michelin's part. PSS are the newest ones. They are the absolute pinnacle in car tyres right now, excluding semi-slicks. I would happily run either PS2 or PSS on a modern car. No point in running PS2 though, as they're the same price or more expensive than the PSS but not as good in any department.
  24. I think you mean Surrey, as I would imagine that most of Manchester would be quite happy that that
  25. That's what I did, played it for a week before ACU came out It is good though, I'll go back to it at some point. Go buy Stevo's copy, he might sell it cheap!
