john smith Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 hiya i have just bought a 06 roadster, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250982566208? ... 787wt_1401 this one to be precise,i think the guy was a member here ? i have owned jap and sports cars for years,205 gtis, astra gsi a wrx, then evos, i had a 5, a 6 , a 7 , an 8 and then an fq 400. that just about got the sports car bug out of me, then i bought a range rover 4.4 petrol then i swapped it for tdv8, then i sold that and bought a ml 320 merc. anyway. now ive decided its time to get a sports car (mid life crisis one might say ) i looked at SL 55 amg mercs, and tvr tuscan, but decided on the Z. i drove it home yesterday in the snow, and it span in 2 full circles, how i didnt hit anyone i do not know, so its obviously not a winter drive. first thing i want to do when the weather warms up, is, put 19s on it, the wheels just look too small, i want to upgrade the front speakers too, and possibly add a rear wing or spoiler. but i dont want to ruin the limited rear visibility. one last question, the roof wont open fully toady it stalls at the last stage, is it because its cold and wet ? any help with wheels sizes, speaker / spoiler advice would be great, or point me in the right direction on here please. thats it for now Quote

ChrisS Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Welcome . The rag top boys will be along. Think it says in the hand book not to operate below something like 3 or 4 C. They also like a bit of silicon grease on the joints. But I ain't got a roadster. Quote
Humpy Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Congratulations on your purchase and welcome! Quote
JetSet Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Welcome along Welcome . The rag top boys will be along. Think it says in the hand book not to operate below something like 3 or 4 C. They also like a bit of silicon grease on the joints. But I ain't got a roadster. I believe it's 5 degrees . If the roof hasn't been used for some time it'll be more like 8-12 degrees before it'll open properly. Pete Quote
