  1. It's just like watching real life Gran Turismo. I remember playing on Tsukuba a lot when grinding for cash in a Mazda Demio with an air filter for more power! There is another video with a MKIV Supra and a Veilside Supra in it:
  2. My eyes hurt.... its all on the wrong side.... at least it's not all upside like the Aus model.... ? I would work back through what you disconnected checking connections and looms. Reconnect everything, check for broken plugs and green electrical gunk. Have you run the engine codes yet?
  3. https://youtu.be/07f3z-nVaX4
  4. Stock on mine. Looks the bees knees, but cant have a bigger brake upgrade with stock wheels
  5. Id spend the £1800 on the Zed instead......(hey, that rhymes!)
  6. It is quiet when inside the car, but if I have the window down I can hear the classic burble. It is a non-turbo, but does pull well. I think with an air filter and a nice stainless system on it, it will sound better.....no......dont spend money on it!!!!!
  7. Welcome to the club and I'm glad you are trying to save hedgehogs!
  8. I think it popped up on ebay many many years ago, about the time when I bought my first zed (2014-ish). Something seems familiar about the back end of the car with those lights and squared off spoiler.
  9. So after using the wifes Audi TT throughout the pandemic to go to work, I've decided to buy myself a run around as she is going back to working in the office and I fancied my own little run around: It's a Subaru Legacy 2.5L Boxer engine with AWD and a hi-low gear centre diff. It's done 171K, serviced every year by Subaru up to 4 years ago, then by a private garage. I'm the 3rd owner. The bodywork and boot interior is a bit tatty as its was tip run car/dog car, but I gave it a really good clean and polish and some of the damage has disappeared. It came with the roof bars and tow bar, so that's helpful and saved about £300. I'll probably never need them, but good to know I have them. I wanted something a little beaten up and old, so that I don't want to spend money on it (I want all my money to spend on my zed) but at the same time I wanted something a little different, a little cool and fun. How much you ask? £850... It's worth that for the pillarless doors...
  10. A watch that cost 3.5 of my mortgage payments ????
  11. Mine was engine half out, I'm trying to remember why and as it was several years ago and I have slept since then(!) I suspect it might have been something to do with rear seals or other maintenance work done while the back of the engine was accessible. I remember two of my cars just had a straight engine and gearbox swap. We took the engine and gearbox out as a whole lump swapped them back into the other cars and re plumbed in. The two cars I did conversions to, didn't have the ECU problem, but my first ever one did. Thanks for clearing that up because it was annoying!
  12. I know nothing about watches, I use a Xiaomi Smartwatch called something I cant remember. It counts my steps and tracks my running. I have never owned a "real" watch, so I must admit I have no experience here. I have to ask though: Other than the fairlady badge and it being yellow and blue. How is this a Z inspired watch?! I might be missing something, but any watch made could have that badge added and have a bit of paint on it? If the font was in the fairlady font for the numbers, the push buttons on the sides were little zeds, the background was a bonnet zed badge, etc then I would understand. However you could take the fairlady badge off, plop a lambo badge on it, change the colour and sell it as "A uniquely Lamborghini inspired designed watch" Hell, for £1830 Ill do it myself! Accepting orders now..... ??
  13. Yes, you can choose either or both when applying for the tickets/passes. I'm waiting to hear back about the club stand, so not sure how that works yet regards to us needing club stand tickets or normal tickets. Looking forward to seeing both of you!
  14. Free tickets have just gone on "sale". However I have applied for a club stand of 8 cars. Magnificent Motors is a great show held in Eastbourne, East Sussex. It's completely free, so book early. For people interested, this is the bank holiday weekend and it's the Saturday and Sunday before the BHP show at Lydden on the Monday. So if you live far away, book a hotel room for a couple of nights in Eastbourne to do the Magnificent Motors show and then we can all head over to Lydden for the BHP show! Three days of car shows! Two of which are free...bargain! https://www.visiteastbourne.com/magnificent-motors
  15. One mans trash is another's gold... I would put it on Ebay and here on the forum.
  16. Can I have this post reported for pornography please? No one needs to see that at 08:10 in the morning.....
  17. How did you get that picture of us at the NEC last November?!
  18. I13 As it's a tradition now..... Who will be the first to mention Battleships and the sinking of?! ?
  19. I should add that the fat lamb is now off the list. I couldn't make it work date-wise, distance-wise and financially. We are staying that night in Great Langdale so that we can do Wrynose and Hardknott pass the next day. I've been through the route with google street view and its all tarmac (I made sure I planned it that way), The only bits that are slightly "dicey" are part of the Scottish 500 route where it is single track road with passing places. It's all tarmac though. I've checked the petrol station situation (I made sure I planned it for this): The longest section without fuel is along the top of scotland on the first day: Thurso - Ullapool. 138 miles between petrol stations. I would worry if people can't manage that on a full tank....?
  20. We are going close to Troon, the route is down the M77 from Glasgow, then the A76 to Dumfries, then into the Lake District
  21. Of course! More than welcome, Im hoping to buy a few go pros to put on each car, so yours could be a camera car? ? Or even this:
