A2Zed Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hey. Have been looking at a number of Zeds for a while now but still haven't found one that's right. Hopefully I'll get one sorted soon! I've been to look at a few that are listed as "immaculate", but when I get there (usually after a long drive) they're absolute sheds. Currently driving a Civic Type R (FN2) which is now going to become the the sensible family car for the Mrs to chauffeur the kids (2) around in. As the Zed only has 2 seats, I'll have to pick which one of my kids I love the most when I go out... Loads of great info on this forum which has been very useful so far. Quote
Stutopia Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 along, good to see more North West. Check out the regional action here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/75-north-west/ Quote
MCook Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hello and along! Good luck with your search! Quote
GMballistic Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Welcome aboard. Used to have an EP3 Type R so I've some fond memories of the old VTEC motors. Did consider the FN2 but decided on the Zed instead with it's rear wheel drive. Good luck with your search. Quote
Zedd Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 it's fun coming from a fwd to a rwd, a whole new way of driving! Quote
Floydbax Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Welcome, where in Cheshire are you, I'm Knutty Knutsford way Quote
Paddy78 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 keep looking as there are good cars out there! What's your budget out of interest and anything particular you're looking for? Quote
A2Zed Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks for all the welcomes. My budget was £8000, but I wanted to keep a bit of this on one side to go towards tax and insurance. I looked at quite a few all over the place but they all had issues. I was about to do a 6 hour round trip to Swindon, when one came up 2 miles from my house . It was on for £8250, and I got him down to £7750. Great condition, 12 months MOT, and only 39,000 miles. It's an 06 plate. The only couple of issues are it will need new tyres fairly soon, and the W strut underneath is rusty, so that will need looking at. Since I got it, it's snowed lots though, so I haven't managed to do too much in it yet. Quote
Mopedmark Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 along its common for the W strut to get rusty it will should clean up, then put some rust eater on it you can then undersell it Quote
A2Zed Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 A quick thing I'm after is a new gear knob. Have seen a black Nismo one on eBay for £56. Seems a bit steep for a lump of metal. Is there anyone on here that sells them? Did a search and nothing came up. Quote
Mopedmark Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 If you can wait a couple of weeks I may be able to help,with the gear knob I am currently in the process of making these they will be billet aluminium and then anodised to your colour or mirror polished Quote
A2Zed Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Sounds good. Send me a picture when you've done them and a price Quote
