As has been pointed out, you do not seem to have provided the full story on what is required to complete this "cost saving" exercise. Ignoring the performance R&D, if someone pays out for this kit to find they have to reinvest a further large amount of money to complete it, I'd say they would be pretty pissed! You should list exactly what needs doing and what else needs to be purchased outside of this kit you're supplying as a "registered member" back door trader. Also, your manner on here seems very defensive/dismissive to the concerns expressed rather than helpful replies to address them and answer the questions which is never a great start to customer relations. Is your car currently in a workshop being measured up and the kit being manufactured?

Welcome to the club [emoji106]

My opinions: 1. You could end up sideways in a ditch in any rwd car (and others) if you drive it like you stole it! Drive according to the conditions and they're perfectly manageable. If you insist on using it throughout winter in cold and potentially icy/snowy conditions, I would recommend a set of OEM (or similar) wheels with winter tyres on to use during these months. 2. As said, you can get kids and adults in the back, I can't imagine it's particularly comfortable but as long as it's short journeys, at least you have the option to. 3. The closest I'd recommend would be Darren at D2 or over towards Bristol to Jimmer at PowerZed. 4. Prices are on the increase but still vary wildly. I think there are still some bargains to be had out there for a lucky few buying good, honest 3k cars, but generally you need to budget 4-6k+ for a decent car. 5. The first year may be expensive for maintenance as I'd recommend all the big jobs get done, cambelt etc and you may discover some items requiring replacing upon closer inspection. Once anything is renewed that needs doing, if you're not doing mega miles, the servicing costs shouldn't be too bad. It could be a bit of a lottery as its a 20+ year old car. 6. My biggest concern would be rust, particularly the sill sections, but rust anywhere would leave me concerned for other areas. Obviously if the engine is running like a bag of nails then there is potential for big bills but generally shop as you would for any other car. Having an experienced owner look at cars with you would be beneficial, many local owners would give their own time to help [emoji106] 7. The UK and import argument 10 years ago was mainly concerning rust but as most cars have now been in the country for many years, the difference is probably negligible. I think UK cars will probably see the biggest inflation in value but are now really quite rare to find a good one. A fresh import car will probably be your best bet structurally but they're becoming expensive.

Nice work Dan [emoji106]

Fronts would benefit from 15mm huncentrics but yes, they would look [emoji41]

London Charity Tunnel Run - 11 Jun 2016 http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=184304 [emoji106]

Where will you join the convoy James?

I assume you will be joining us at South Mimms Stephen? I'll start a list [emoji106]

That white one looks very nice although the wheels look too big, 20's with silly tyres?

Yes, joining at South Mimms. I'll update when they release times [emoji106]

I don't mind the Stillen [emoji106]

Happy Birthday Lee [emoji512][emoji482][emoji322]

Event hosted by Car Culture UK raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. A convoy starts in Birmingham and stops at every service station down to South Mimms (where I will be joining) picking up more clubs and enthusiasts in a big convoy en-route to the tunnel run start point in London. Currently all times and exact locations are TBC but the convoy starts from Birmingham at 13:00. A map of the tunnel run route will be available on the day for a charitable donation of £3 with all proceeds going to Great Olmond Street Hospital. Who's in? https://www.facebook.com/events/1678688402393538/ Joely P - South Mimms Stephen - South Mimms? (adl) phoenix - South Mimms JJP - ? BedZee Man - South Mimms

You did a great job of arranging all the pieces in exactly the same position in the before and after pictures! Very difficult to tell the difference though [emoji13]

Happy Birthday [emoji106][emoji512][emoji322]

Think you might be getting the wrong end of the stick here as I don't think this is what your friend has:

Fitting a larger battery shouldn't be a long term fix for starting issues, it sounds to me like it's just masking an issue relating to parasitic drainage or incorrect charging?

You won't be disappointed coopd Magnetic Grey Metallic is the way forward. [emoji106] Simon was definitely spot on with that discovery.

You had a 458 Italia 2010-2015 [emoji106]

I bet it looks amazing Ian, Mandy will have a big smile on her face looking down.

It's a shame the replicas look better [emoji1][emoji23][emoji16] /me runs!
