Except he currently has a Mazda 3 he wants shot of

I nearly fell asleep just looking at it. Dull, dull, dull.

are they fun? not **** take ive never driven one Never driven the estate version to be fair, but the hatches were a great and very rewarding drive. They'll be lighter than your other options too, so that should make them a bit more dynamically interesting. Actually, have a look at the Vauxhall Omega. RWD, loads of room, quite bargelike but very comfy and very easy to hang the arse out if you wish.

Focus estate?

Heh, I didn't expect that to be half as good as that

But gearing and Cd would. I don't know if it's any worse to be fair, I'd still expect the 370 to have a higher terminal speed, but worth bearing in mind.

It's not illegal, no. You could possibly be done for driving without due care and attention, I guess.

You're right! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Nope. You may have more speed, but you also have twice the mass which means the energy is dissolved over a greater body. So a head on crash between two vehicles travelling at 100mph each doesn't equal 200mph into a brick wall.

It's very weird at first, and bloody painful on some cars, but when you get into the groove it's really worth trying.

Disc Thickness Variation. Seriously, try a bedding procedure.

Yeah, okay. I believe the correct term is 'Chinny Reckon', accompanied by the appropriate chin-stroking action.

Did you do a bed-in procedure at all? As in multiple stops at various speeds at various pressures? 5x 50-30 light pressure 2 min run at speed, no braking 5x 70-40 med pressure 2 min run again 5x 100-50 hard as you can but no ABS

No it isn't. Yes it is, it depreciates much faster!

Also, no getting around the sneaky edit!

Only if your keyboard is German, or you can really be arsed

Garages warranty their work, manufactures warranty the parts.

Revup ragtop is dead after 135mph. Tested on Dottinger Hohe, June 2010.

24mpg? No thanks.

They're very, very fast. Which means that Stuarty won't buy them as he's only ever bought fair to middling fast BMWs

Kinda what I was thinking

Zed weighs about 200kg more, too. Sure, you can look at it as a downgrade, or you could look at it as something different to experience. Not better or worse, just different.

Gorgeous colour, great job! Regarding the temps, you should be okay, as long as you stay away from sustained heavy braking at speed (eg track work). Temp ranges of primer and clear coat won't make any difference as they don't insulate from heat.

Search for 350z cluster.

Insurance. NOW. What happens when the repair that gets done isn't good enough? Do you think he'll take it back and re-do it for you? No chance, and then you've zero proof anything happened and it's a month down the line. You pay insurance for a very good reason, so use it! Even if your premium goes up next year by £59, it'll be well worth it.
