I came from an Evo 6 to the VR to save some money. I wouldn't personally buy another one! Before the Evo i had an M3 Evo, now THAT was a lovely car for any sort of driving........ but with the sort of Service bills i saw i'd take that off the list too. I suppose a car like the 350z would be good, they're definitely powerful, comfortable, awesome looking and cheap to maintain being a Nissan. Only thing is depending on driving - the fuel consumption isn't brilliant but if you do motorway driving etc it's not bad. Make a shortlist and then weigh up the Pros / Cons for each car

air induction kits.. pro's / cons ?
nickg123 replied to stevietots1's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I'm in the middle of getting a Heat Shield Designed / Made for my Green Induction. Hopefully once sorted i'll be able to sell the two together for under £100 which should make a good system then and not too expensive! -
Sat in traffic last night, i had my window down slightly, and around 1k revs, there's quite a noticable "rattle" sort of sound from the engine. I know it's Chain driven, my car's a 1997 P Reg, is it likely to be the Chain Tensioners or something? Mileage is 83k, it's not that loud but doesn't sound particularly nice that's all?
-
Lovely looking car, i'm sure it's comfortable and probably quick enough to have no problems with everyday cars, but for that money i'd want a lot more car. I'd go for an Evo VI Tommi Mak if you can afford the running costs, they've dropped like a stone in value due to the influx of rep mobile Evo 8's being sold, the VI TME is the only Evo that i personally think will hold it's money well over the next few years. Depends what you want from a car though really? 350z is a nice car too BTW.

This can't be right? Is it just me, or does this simply seem like an adjustable spring and collar? Not a complete suspension kit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40192&item=7948154869&rd=1

I used to go with my mate Dave in his Blue Mk2 D Plate G60, but that was at Guildford, never had any issues with Non-VAG cars down there??? Where is it now then, Fleet Services??? Are they ok with that?
-
We've had this on e-mail a few years ago but it's still impossible to do lol!! binliner - it's easy really, just lift your right foot off the ground and move your foot round in a clockwise direction, then with your right hand draw the Number 6 in the air, then without realising your foot will have started to go the other way.
-
Yeah i can imagine a 10" would be better, but i just used a 12 as it's what i had lol! I think the Golf has good potential though, it's such a solid car so should take a lot of sounds before it falls apart etc.
-
Sony headunits have never been known that well for their sound quality, i got quite into ICE a couple of years back, everyone i met said that Sony Car Audio was not that impressive..... maybe that's not the case now but this was what i was told. Bit like 6 x 9's, everyone had them but people in the know hate everything they stand for, a speaker should never be Oval, plus they take too much sound to the rear of the car..... In most cars i've just had a set of 6" Comp's up front running off an amp, then some small speakers for rear fill with a single 12" sub, this was always the best setup for
-
Ahh yeah i can imagine it'll need a bit of sound proofing.... can't need any more then the Renaults i used to do though
-
Sorry, yes it's a 3 door. Are both sets in the Front Doors and Rear Panels 6.5" then? Are the Standard Tweeters ok? I might just buy Full Range 6.5's to replace the 4 that are in there anyway, and just make the standard tweeters redundant???
-
Thanks for that mate, if i have any problems i'll make sure and give them a call, they're "fairly" local to me too

Intermittant Mis-Fire (After new leads)
nickg123 replied to nickg123's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
It's not hesitating, when it does it, it's definitely mis-firing as the car will do it when idling, feels like it could stall?? I suppose hesitation is also true though.... as when driving it like this it does hesitate, but sort of feels like a misfire. How can i tell the difference? Surely if it does it when idling that's a mis-fire? -
Sod that lol! 9am start for me........ fall out of bed at 8:15 am, jump in the shower to wake up and get dressed, 10 mins drive to work, that's me done! Must admit i'd rather start earlier like 8am, but i couldn't be at work by 5am - not when it's still dark lol!
-
Steve - can you also tell me how much it costs for the Arch Rolling? PM If you prefer?
-
Hi guys! My Golf has an aftermarket Sony head unit, and some 6 x 9's - this is as i bought it......... so don't blame me for the Sony HU or 6 x 9's hehe Can anyone tell me what speakers are in the car, as standard and how many of each there are? There seems to be speakers everywhere i look so it would be nice to know what they are size wise as i'm thinking of replacing them all. They sound pretty good but as the Golf is such a solid car i reckon it would sound top with some good equipment in there!

Sorry, mine is Anythingcars. Will add you all when i can

It'll be no more thirsty then the Clio speaking from Experience...... I had two Clio 16v's over the last 3/4 years. 1 - Standard with Filter & Exhaust 2 - Chip, Cams, Ported & Polished Head, Exhaust, Filter etc. Neither were any more economical then the VR6! Plus with the VR, you have the onboard computer so i think some people (myself included) drive a little bit more careful as it's gutting seeing the MPG infront of you! I always wished they'd put an MPG Computer on the Evo just for Comical Value
-
I've got that too, didn't realise there was a live option there too! Will give it a try :-) I've got the Golf too
-
Do any of you have access to it? I only recently started mine up, playing Project Gotham 2 but it's awesome fun! Had some good races last night with mates in the Lancer Register. If anyone has PGR2 and Xbox Live, put your Username/Tag down and i'll add you later so we can all have a race some time!
-
Don't pay over £4k for a Car with more then 85k Miles, try and stick to a Standard one if you can, but subtle mods are ok...... As others said, condition and the way it's looked after are the first things you want to check out - it won't handle like your clio did, it's very different to drive but goes great in a straight line
-
Dan - i'm saving for a house now DaveR bought it off me......... but stuck it in a Ditch on Sunday, pretty bad from what he's said! I'm often up in Purley, my Girlfriend's family all live there so i'll keep a look out for you both! She went to school in Wallington!
-
Sorry mate, no go here! I might know of one.......... so if i find out i'll let you know anyway.
-
I paid £3700, 1997 Black 3 Door, 81k Miles (Standard) 3 owners. Seemed like a good deal but i'm sure there's loads out there at that money, this was very clean and tidy though..... little things suggest a car has been well looked after to me - things like 4 Tyres of the same Brand/Tread, just the things like that sold it to me!
-
What's wrong with you guys??? How can none of you have mentioned the Enzo?? It's definitely top of my list anyway
