zabba Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 Well as an update I sold my Mk 5 Gti today after having ot for sale for 3 weeks. This means I can officially start looking for a Zed I've got money burning a hole in my pocket for a pre 06 coupe, must have full service history and no accident history. Ideally Black or Azure blue but might consider any colour if the history/price are right! Quote
djb55 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Welcome mate, I hung on for a good while before finding the right car, dont worry about the VED hike, spread over 12 months its hardly a difference, latest model you can afford will give you the latest specs so its worth considering. Azure is a nice colour reminds me of my winning blue MX5. Quote
parello9 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I was also deciding out of a s2000 which was my first choice or the 350z then i test drove both and the s2000 felt pretty gutless compared to the 350 350 is a much better place to be i think! feels more special and has torque compared to the vtec and i came from a dc2 integra Quote

zabba Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 I've just picked up a 2004 Azure blue 350Z GT with Rays, it is in great condition overall for the age. On the trip back I took it down one of my favourite B-roads and was a bit disappointed, it did not feel as responsive and chuckable as previous cars due to the weight. When I got home I discovered I couldn't get it onto my driveway without grounding the mid section of the exhaust (it's not even lowered!) things were not looking good..... But I've now found I can get one and off the drive if I go in at an angle. I then took it out for another drive and realised why I bought it, I have to remember its not an out and out sports car and more of a GT car. Loving the sound especially! I've already ordered a Stubby, new number plates (the current ones are a bit tired), a new tax disc holder and some retro fit Bosch flat wiper blades. I don't plan to do much to it as I am a less is more guy. I am considering some spacers for the wheels and then a geo setup to ensure it's all alligned, then possibly some Berk hi flow cats. Quote
ddcboyle Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Im not impressed at 350z round bends, but I havent upgraded to top tyres and top suspension. So I just smack that bitch round a corner and try and learn to drift easy car to drift imo (unless it rains and u remove esp) 1 Quote
