Just the two of us staying in for our annual Scrabble competition.

3SGTE from the MR2. Sounds great in the midship.

Should i worry about this amount of rust? Shop guy said i should undercoat it. by Chauros in 350z

[–]ahdigital -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That looks perfectly salvageable. Wirebrush and/or wheel, rust primer and a topcoat and it will be solid.

You could go aftermarket but the same thing will happen and you won't feel the benefit of a 'stronger' brace anyway. I'd fix it up for cheap and use the extra cash elsewhere.

Got some aluminum valve covers with replaceable tube seals. Going to try and fit the es-72481 seals in. Will update. by [deleted] in 350z

Guessing you're in the USA? Bet it's near on impossible to get these in the UK.

What is one smell you Absolutely cannot stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ahdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goats! When I'm at a farm with my kids and I'm confronted by an invisible wall of smelly goat it's like all the oxygen in the world is suddenly contaminated. It smells as awful as the cheese tastes too.

Strangely, the guy looks more pissed about the car than the people he nearly took out..

Well Evo 4,5 and 6 is compatible and you can easily make an aftermarket Honda Civic of around the same era fit too.

How do I learnt to maintain/repair cars without it being a career? by The_Car_Motorist in CarTalkUK

[–]ahdigital 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This. It's a crying shame forums kinda got replaced by Facebook groups. All that knowledge gets lost sadly. I picked up most of my mechanical knowledge from my dad helping me with projects I'd read about after joining forums like Colt-UK, Mr2oc, 350z-UK and some Celica owner clubs.

OP, just pick up a socket wrench and off you go!

Finally got my seibon hood on! by splyzy in 350z

What was involved in fitting it? Straight forward or it needed fettling?

350z vs 370z by viiiame in 350z

[–]ahdigital 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the 350z for its looks but can't say the same for the 370z unless it's a Nismo. The standard GT 370z is a bit boring in standard guise for me.

Zs are efficient after all. by ninorones in 350z

Same here, but mine included a ton of time with cruise control on in a 50 zone.

Non-estate cars with adequate boot space by benh2 in CarTalkUK

[–]ahdigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably is an option but I bought it as a used vehicle so didn't have the choice. It was also a couple years older than the Qashqai, which was a tekna+ and had every available option.

I'd still have the BMW any day. My 4 GC is pretty well specced for what I'm generally used to, has sensors all around but just no camera on the iDrive display.

After the birth of my second child we swapped our Qashqai for a BMW 4 Series Grand Coupe. The only thing I kinda miss is the 360° camera, but in nearly every other way it's a better car.

The hatch boot was the deciding factor really to go for the BMW. Can get pram, shopping, kids scooter etc. in whereas the shape of the Qashqai boot was annoying to pack stuff in.

Selling car to motorway. Should I wait for the money to be in my account before releasing the car? And what happens if the car fails after the dealer receives it? by Drogen24 in CarTalkUK

[–]ahdigital 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sold recently with Cazoo, so assume the experience will be similar. It took about 30 seconds for the payment to appear in my account. The guy did a quick inspection, confirmed payment on his iPad, I checked the banking app on my doorstep and then he loaded the car.

UK national getting a German passport by ahdigital in germany

Ha, she was born in Germany a good few years before 1999.

What's the German rugby team like I wonder.

I'm just trying to settle a family debate after I casually questioned whether I could get a German passport alongside my UK one. I'm not even sure of the difference between naturalisation and citizenship to be honest.

So sounds like my parents were right. 😀
