Good indipendant for me, Falcon Performance at Middlesbrough.Certain they know more about them than any local Nissan dealer.Workshop immaculate,and very friendly, helpfull people.

I don't think his dad works there.

Shoot, a proper bargain for someone if it's as good as you say

Yep, get your dad/bro to do it. Just keep the receipts for the service parts, chances are the buyer won't question the 'family' stamp.

If the car's in good condition with proof of history that's good enough for most.

that mustang is BEAST! love it when it dives while turning into the car.

 

OK, seen as were a 350z forum, heres the TT 350z from tokyo drift

 

A sedate Zed drive...deserves an airing here

............with friends like these......

 

 

That's all sorts of retarded ****ed up.

If anyone hasn't seen the Dudesons have a look, they're kinda Jackass style idiots, funny though

Watch the bit 1 minute into this clip

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder SWB from Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

 

Or.......

I had to google Mutts Cutts

It reminded me of this though

Plus one on the Italian Job Miura

And this - crap film, ace car.....

Is this allowed, it isn't from a film....

The video isn't intended to be competitive, with all apices clipped perfectly - it's about lary slides bordering on out of control.

It's a shoe advert, and happens to showcase some awesome driving, special effects and camera work. As for the 'theatrics', again, it's a commercial and I should imagine they're there to entertain DC Shoe wearers who don't happen to be petrol heads.

Just enjoy it people, it's about a bloke piloting a cool car around a movie set doing lots of skids

I'd love to try that car, 'Monkey' Harris of Evo fame had a go and 'reviewed it' awhile back and said it was a total hoot - in fact it was probably him on the Segway 'Jet'

A garage lost my locking wheel nut key and I bought a replacement key from Nissan. Lincoln Nissan quoted me about £40 but I got one from my local dealer (Ancaster Nissan Bromley) for about 18 notes.

The only reason I knew £40 was expensive was from reading that someone on here paid £18

that is actually your blog aswell isn't it bloody legend

Legend indeed, I was a bit disappointed that you say you always serve pies with the same food for bench marking purposes, but then proceed to test a pie with star shaped chips. I mean WTF, that's bound to skew the overall rating against the same pie with new potatoes and peas surely

My folks subscribe to Which magasine, i read it last weekend. They had a car review feature and the 370Z got 59% for being too 'raw'. TBH that's a mega selling point for owners - you just can't rate these cars using the same system as you would for a shopping cart fiesta, it's ridiculous. On the other hand they redeemed themselves by giving the 350Z 69%. Go figure.....

 

 

Fair enough to be honest. If they mark all their cars using the same scale then at least the percentage will be consistent. If a buyer wants a good drive with a bit of rawness they buy a 370Z. If they want the looks but not the drive they buy a TT.

True. To be honest it's probably a good thing that Which subscribers don't drive 350Z's...actually that's a can of worms - how many of you subscribe to Which magasine? Admit it, you hog the middle lane too don't you?

undertaking is dangerous,

 

i like to buzz them,

 

basically from the left lane approach quickly move from the left over the middle and into the outside lane (when doing this pass very close to said hogger) and then go from outside all the way back to left lane with minimal gap to middle lane hogger. i find it tends to wake them up.

This. Add as much noise as possible and the recipe is complete

I like the earlier suggestion of circling around them but I'm buggered if I'm going to waste my time on the 'tards

Edited for completeness :

The above is carried out in full awareness of proximity of other cars and prevailling road conditions - and always on empty roads (clearly, hence the maneuver).

Also, all of the actions discussed so far only serve to make the over/undertaker feel better - I'm 100% sure that the middle lane hogs will not change their ways unless politely taken aside by the police

Wonder what all the guys were thinking, look at then all watching the Chick....

How's about this :

Teams of 4 have to buy a car off ebay or Gumtree for 200 notes and spend another 200 on 'mods' including stag livery. The cars are then driven across to France and set various 'Top Gear style' challenges. The winner could be the wedding car on the big day (if it makes it back home)

Alternatively, the destination could be the 'Ring

Keep cleaning it mate, its your car not his, he probably lent out the window and said that after his missus had a go at him for........

...not being able to get it up

personally Id get a british gas engineer out. there a fixed cost and when we had an issue they sorted it. Just my opinion though.

Do not do this, it will bankrupt you unless you subscribe to a 'care scheme' with them.

However, we used to have British Gas Homecare(?) which was a yearly scheme and they get you patched up if your boiler fails - the boilers were decrepit and this proved good value for us.

It isn't what you want to hear but the boiler is old and probably pretty inefficient....hopefully you can patch it up for another couple of years though

Im well into pies atm....

Brilliant!

I recently went on a stag-do in Wales and we went Gorgewalking. There were a few jumps into the river (one was 35ft) and a zipline etc. It was a lot of fun.

The noise is difficult to describe but I think Ricey meant that it has a bit of a 'hard edge' to it, all the PD engines are the same. I have definitely driven smoother sounding diesels - having said that I really enjoyed my PD 150 engine, BM bothering was a lot of fun

The irony is that I hated the Golf because it just did everything too well and had no soul. On the upside the engine was a bit of a lout

Celebrity endorsement too Ninja!

I can't believe you're all writing off the concept, just look at how awesome the Schumacher Stilo was

I think that as a thank-you for all this invaluable advice you should send plans for the weapons to all contributors

It seems to be cured since I slung the aftermarket chip.

Its still pulling fine, not kicking out any dirty crap, doing 50-60MPG so seems to be all good in the hood.

Happy days.

I didn't realise Mitsubishi used the PD engine. It's a great unit especially in 150bhp guise - is that option in the Lancer?

Have you thought about a proper re-map (AMD/REVO)? Big gains for little cash - you don't hear that said much on this forum

There are a few things on the VW pumpe-duse that this might be. Is the car smoking badly? Black smoke would indicate bad fuelling and white/blue smoke would be the probably be the turbo. The likely problem would be a split or dislodged boost hose or even intercooler, although I'd expect that to be low on power all the time unless it's a minor leak. You should hear the turbo spinning and an air leak somewhere.

Other culprits might be a dirty Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR - looks like a throttle butterfly), temperature sensor (cheap and easy), MAF, injector loom, or fuel pump. The PD TDi 150 engine can have issues with worn cam shaft lobes and tappets, especially if PD oil hasn't been used, but this is rare and i think more common on the earlier (2002/3?) engines. Let's hope it isn't this as it's expensive.

Hope this helps, good luck
