Bigheppy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi everybody I'm Richard and after months of looking have bought my first japanese sports car. I did have an Alfa 147gta 4 years ago and which was the worst piece of motoring junk anybody could ever buy. It was never off a transporter and I knew the AA man personally after owning it. It cost me a fortune and ended up in the small claims court at one point! Safe to say this severely tainted my sports car ownership desires somewhat. Anyway, 4 years on I think I have done things properly. I have a 2004 350z coupe, 46k and one owner from new. It's immaculate and was purchased off a fantastic bloke that was actually in his 60's! Already has 19" mania racing alloys, full manga flow exhaust and a piper cross induction kit. Had it for a week now and love it to bits. So that's me! Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigheppy Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi guys, Well straight off into the questions.... Firstly the cd player skips all the time? Also even though the car is low mileage and is well serviced up I was thinking of getting a p3 service done just to be sure it's all ok. Is this overkill? Does anybody know a good specialist around Manchester? And lastly these big Brembo brakes only seem mediocre. Looking at the old mot's it's only done a few thousand miles in the last few years. Dont the discs rust and ruin the pads if stood? Maybe replace the discs and pads aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianphampton Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Richard and Good garage - Lockwood & Greenwood in Ashton-under-Lyne Tell Dave Greenwood you're a member of the club and you get discount rates Where are you in Manchester - and what colour - I'll keep my eyes open for you (I'm in Hyde) If you're swapping the pads - search on here for varoius options but I'd suggest Ferodo DS2500 Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
