    Hmmm, that may make an R3 either the wise choice or I bank the cash and put it towards a rebuild...

    Top stuff, thanks for that bud Disappointed to hear that corrosion may be an issue, I wouldn't have expected that on a 2000+ car. When you say they increased the oil flow on the R3 models, any ideas how? Just bigger pump matched with the bigger capacity, or any internal changes you know of to the block? I assume a larger oil pan is easy to fit anyway, so probably retrofittable. Looks like satnav was a rare option, which is good as it means I can install a new head unit to control that function too. Got a few months to go, and I still need to drive a 350Z again to confirm that I don't want one again, but I have to say I was incredibly taken with the '8.
  3. N17 is a great song, too.
  4. Heh, two different trains of thought there then! Neither are wrong I think, personal preference or choice of pad/polish can make a difference.
  5. No, no need to wet them. Just do a '+' across the pad with whatever product you're using, splodge that across the panel, then start it off on the slowest speed and cover the entire panel with it. Then you can start working it properly.

    Good link, thanks
  7. Wow, that's great news. /sarcasm The idea of donuts, burnouts etc being seen as cool to do after a race is because you know you really shouldn't. By formalising that celebration they've effectively made it an incredibly uncool thing to do. Spontaneity > being allowed. So does this mean that Alonso is allowed to get flags again? Or does that not count? Once again, F1 is a million miles away from what the fans actually want.
  8. Stop filming like a 'tard Sounds good matey, any drone? Be honest now...!

    Nice day

    Dblock? Is that you?
  10. See, that I get. Totally.
  11. I see GJOB, which is actually far more meaningful than the tacky alternative
  12. Who cares when the rest of the car is so mind-crushingly dull? I'm all for substance over style, but that's just a lesson in ZZZzzzzzzz... Sorry, dozed off just thinking about it.

    I'm 99% sure now I'll get one of these in June, when I get back from LM and I shift the 911. Never owned a rotary, and they're so cheap that they're practically disposable! As much as I'd like a good late R3, I think a decent '05 will do so I can save some cash to modify it.
  14. Jiakee?
  15. Nice interior, but what a boring looking car!
  16. Thing is, it's not though.

    Sorry, but that's hideous. Great job in terms of quality, and I'm sure it'll be a hoot to drive, but aesthetically it's killed the styling.
  18. Says a lot about GT-R owners, that.
  19. You'll never repair machine damage without using another machine, unfortunately.
  20. Definitely not sunny here right now
  21. I like it, and I hate CoD. Definitely seems far enough away that you wouldn't even know it's made by the same people, and the Titans definitely give it a change of pace. 6v6 works well, maps are the perfect size, guns well balanced too. I'd never buy it though, as there's nothing else but MP and that's not for me. For a free 20 min blast over a weekend, it's been a hoot.
  22. I don't get this. You bought the worse car (from a driving perspective) because it was less common. I'll never understand that. Ever. Buy a car because you like how it drives, how it looks, how it makes you feel, but don't buy one simply because no-one else does.
  23. Less than 10 miles a day means the Zed is not the car for you. Lots of short trips like that isn't going to do a big engine any good, it'll never get the chance to get properly warm. By all means go for it, but be aware that you could be opening a can of worms IMHO.
  24. Well no wonder you didn't like it! Try a proper one, with a decent engine in: You'll be surprised.
  25. Which E92? A 320d I can understand you not feeling the love for, but a 335i should be more than entertaining.
