The old "do we own a supercar?" question...
I would class it as a supercar for the masses, its as close to a supercar you can get made by a non exotic manufacturer such as Lambo, Ferarri, Porche etc. It used cutting edge design techniques normally only associated with those kinds of manufactures, low bonnet, low angled screen, flush lights low drag etc. These were unheard of in a relatively cheap mass produced performance car on conventional production lines, and also had more technology than most of those manufacturers had put together, and engine capable of 400+ bhp with minimal mods. Supercar? Absolutely!

OEM Accessories Prices
The tonneau cover looks like it covers the whole interior so you can leave you roof down and not get crap in it. I don't think it would be worth while over hear but in warmer countries would be handy.

They just pull off, though it helps if you have strong fingernails.

JDM Mudflaps - Yay/nay/bodycolour or stock
I personally don't like them on a zed, looks too cluttered and awkward, simply lines are more pleasing to the eye.

Santa Pod Classic Ford Show
found two pages worth here on the lancer register, some of the engine transplants are insane, lots of cossie lumps into old anglia, cortinas and the like. The S1 RS turbo seems to be quite rare, wish i'd kept mine, worth a small fortune now.

Santa Pod Classic Ford Show
Growing up with fast Fords I still have a keen interest in them, some of the prices they fetch are quite ridiculous to be fair though. It was a great day out my first time at the Pod the RWYB all classic fords was very entertaining, the best of the day were the V8 supercharged stuff a few running low 10's, surprised at the Sierra cossies tho most running high 12s to 14s which i gather is still respectable.

300z front tie rods help
Unless your car is lowered and needs adjustable tierods I would go with the 3 piece Energy Suspension bush kit I got them from DTA in the traders section. Seems overkill otherwise.

Handling
I can give mine a fair bit of beans but it will step out, but I know the limit of it quite well and never really go daft in the rain. I have 265 Falk 452's. As said above make sure your pressures are correct.

Ive just managed 350 miles to a tank 90% mway at 70-80, usually get 220 just going to work and back so it does seem quite low for those speeds.

Why is the 300zx severely underrated?
More than likely, but the 300zx isnt in the same league or time zone as a 2 year old 911, now show them a GTR and they might be a bit less hysterical.

Why is the 300zx severely underrated?
Everybody I know thinks its a great car and love it, I can usually put a smile on there face with a quick blat down the road if they are non belivers In the motoring press is was very highly rated as a looker and a performer pitted against its main rivals.

TV / phone / Broadband
I'm with Virgin and I get 20meg broad band, 165+ tv channels with a V+ box hard drive and HD and a 2nd normal V box no hard drive no HD for spare room, and unlimited land line calls this would normal be £58 but I get a staff deal for £32 so its still a good deal without the staff deal
