Does the fun never stop? :hyper:

 

Ok so I have a couple of questions for you guys after another 100 Miles or so tonight.

 

1. What brake upgrade in your opinion is best for the car? I would feel a lot better if I had some beter brakes to slow me down ;)

 

2. Where do you guys buy your tyres from for the standard alloys? :x:

 

3. How do you stop that goddamn squeaking sound coming from the back :confused:

 

4. My local Motormania is doing a great deal on a set of 17" Alloys with tyres. What size range is it best to keep. What I mean is I know the rears are wider than the fronts as standard, if these 17" wheels are the same diameter all round will that cause any problems for me?

 

5. We couldn't resist taking a couple of videos doing some doughnuts tonight, but I was a bit worried as we ended laying some serious tyre circles in a certain popular fast food chain's carpark. Can they get you for criminal damage if I was reported? We got out of there pretty sharpish after seeing the marks we'd made, and now I'm packing it expecting a call from the police any time soon :x: But the cheers were worth it I reckon hehehe

 

Now I've got it all out of my system I'll calm down now, I don't want to push my luck after all. But the Zed really brings out the Wild Side in you even when you're not going out to do anything like that in particular. The adrenaline builds up and before you know it you've got a big crowd of people round your car admiring it and asking you questions etc.

 

I've had so much fun in this car I haven't even put a stereo in it yet! :eek: :rofl:

hi mate i think most people go for the skyline GT-R brake upgrade!. or for easier and similar cost a brembo upgrade,stock brakes on a zed are a bit dissapointing and after 12years+ are not as efficient.So if big brake upgrades are a bit pricey££ go for a reasonable package pad&disc upgrade try these http://www.3gbrakes.co.uk got mine here some good brake fluid and goodridge hoses also give a better more positive brake feel also helps improve all round braking.

 

glad your happy with your new toy ;)

Motormania? If you are in the south east, its not a motormania,the farthest south one they have is Coventry and i work there! (well till the end of the month when they close, then im out of a job!) and you will probably find that these 17s will not fit the zed due to the clearance required on the brakes.

You will also find these so called "great deals" on wheels and tyres will have on the crappyest wang bang tyres on that will last a zed all the way to the end of the road before they are torn apart!!!

 

your money would be much better spent on a set of Goodyear eagle F1's which you should be able to pick up for about £100 a corner if you shop about.

 

Good Luck.

I use Micheldever Tyres (http://www.micheldever.co.uk), or at least I get a price from them and see how close any of the local places can get to that..
