Wheeeeeeels
Un-original, but Volk TE37 look great and are some of the best quality wheels available.

m40
Loads of vids of this on youtube from the bridge spectators, best car get-together ever tbh. Pretty wild watching a vid of the motorway with almost entirely subaru's going past for a solid 10 minutes!

Anyone going from Wolverhampton to London soon?
What kind of favour?
-
Subarus
My zed is good quality and affordable, been up for sale bloody ages now, fed up of it.
-
Number plates
Front and rear both the same size. Import size plate on the front is illegal though.
-
Number plates
330x165mm for JDM size plates

wheel spacers
For 25mm you will need hub centric spacers. It begs the question though, what kind of wheels do you have that require this much spacing?

GReddy boost controller - Best settings
I see you have a Mines ECU, this is a pretty 'aggressive' mapping and runs more timing advance than most, so you absolutely MUST use V-power fuel especially with increased boost.

GReddy boost controller - Best settings
0.65 bar is stock, 1 bar is safe to run daily so long as you are running with a suitably mapped ECU (standard will lean out with increased boost, and this is a very bad thing). There is usually a gain setting on boost controllers too. This needs tweaking, too low and spool up time will be longer than optimal, too high and you will get boost spike, this is also a very bad thing.

Respray quality
Yep, for 4k it ought to be immaculate concours standard. Doesn't have to be expensive either, my mechanic uses a place run by some immigrants who supposedly used to work for Ferrari in Dubai or something, don't know how true that is though :p Anyway he showed me around his missus' FTO which they have done a full respray on and it was totally mint, flawless finish. This was actually a 3 stage flip paint too, all door jams and everything except engine bay was done for just 700. Mine will be going there at some point.

family guy
Family guy is almost too funny, the chicken fights stand out as being particularly hilarious :D

Full run tyres
ditchfinder tyres + high performance car = recipe for disaster, get rid of them ASAP.

The Zed has a new home
Nice job, also that Citroen looks pretty swish for an MPV!

ZED Vs Lambo Gallardo
very few tracks where you can get top speed ;) Middle of the night on an empty highway, what's the big deal? Nutty Japs have been doing the whole Wangan Midnight club type stuff for donkeys years and nobody calls them irresponsible. It says TT stage 6, which I'll assume is seriously modded, which is about right to keep up with a Lambo :)
-
Grrrrr Power Mode!
you need the right tool for the job tbh, Auto's are not for racing, or any properly enthusiastic driving really.
-
Ive found it!
Hope you don't have a crash with that thing right behind your head :eek:
-
Ouch... Zed crashes!
Elise please, much stronger than a zed, or just about anything else on the market. Just because it's heavy doesn't make it safe, you have to remember the 300 was designed in the 80's, at a time when they didn't have any of the safety stuff they do today, not even SRS, targa roof doesn't really help things, neither do door-mounted seat belts
-
2 oil filters?
this is of course complete uneducated BS. Every clueless muppet seems to be full of it when it comes to 300's, people are for ever telling me their BS trivia about them, who knows why.
-
number plates (again)
No.
-
looking for alloys like these
Whilst TE37's are great, the above pictures ones are not RAYS, rather some RAVS cheap knockoffs. Sorry, but to me this is just wrong, it's exactly like wearing a cheap Rolax watch :/

Evo Vs Subaru on TV tonight
there is much more to it than traction control :p
-
Removed rear stock foam spoiler
the paint will be fooked underneath anyway so doesn't really matter much how you do it.
-
double crash!
oh dear :D

Evo Vs Subaru on TV tonight
Plato is a nutter, what a crazy lunge that was. I think he forgot this isn't the demolition derby that is BTCC :p

A High Def TV Query
yes, it will.
