Hi dude, I've got the exact same car as you and can see you may be starting to fall out of love with the 350z. The roof is an easy fix and if you are willing to send me your 5th bow motor I can change the brushes for you to get your roof working again. Far cheaper than a replacement motor! But before assuming it is the motor at fault please check the straps inside the roof to see if they are all still fine and not torn as that can stop the roof from fully opening. If you are interested you can find me on Facebook through name or by my repair page on Facebook:ItMobiCare Keep up the good work.
I like it when people are so passionate about what they have, and love. Good for you Adam and very best wishes in the future with everything you do, big fan of your videos.
Always great to get the insights of your plans and how you came to own your cars, sorry to hear about your job though. Hopefully you'll be making enough from this that you won't need it anymore. Also yes, in case you were wondering, I am binging all your videos during lockdown XD
As someone who owns a '97 model KA, produced in 2008, this video makes me want a Street KA (although with a hard top, not a soft top). The practicality of the KA is insane due to how small it is, and the Street KA just looks absolutely adorable. Definitely something I'll be looking into in a couple of years. Still need 2 or 3 years no claims discount before I can afford to insure a convertible with a 1.6l engine though lol
I’ve got the street ka convertible and it’s a lovely little car and I found it a great buy if wanted to complain I’d say the visibility is bad out the back lol and the drinks holders are on the doors so no McDonald’s cups or costa coffee etc I’m afraid and have a torch handy as the inside light is rubbish but minor bugs really I’ve had cars that were far far worse I’d definitely expect some problems if I was to pay under a grand tho and £500 I’d of been happy if the roof worked let alone the engine 😂 but I find that under a grand you can get nice cars if you are lucky or know what you’re doing but don’t be surprised if you develop problems you can still have problems over a grand but me personally I’ve found that the cars seem to be a lot nicer and don’t need as much money spending on them I’m not a mechanic tho and just use common sense and luck - I look the car over and check the history and all that but it’s not hard to get one over on someone getting a second hand car or just basic wear and tear you can’t tell if something is about to go wrong with a ten minute check all the time
Never knew that! Shame it never happened, but as you say, blessings in disguise. Didn’t know about your job either - sorry to hear it, but best of luck with making UA-cam work - you’re a hell of a grafter, so I’m sure it’ll work out for you. RE: cars - there are a few red/almost maroon streetkas for sale, just sayin...
Just pointing out the fact that when it started snowing it was like watching a weather broadcaster the way Adam stands there really smart pointing at the car lol
Well that was quite a jolly and rather surprising vid Adam. The amount of similarities between the Nissan and Ford are astonishing. Missing the car meets though. Need to find out what meets are taking place. Get my fix so to speak. Cheers!
I just bought a streetka for £850 in red the only thing I can find wrong with it is the heater control valve as the heaters always warm but £11 fixed that ! It’s bloody fantastic 65k years mot new tyres clutch and battery and serviced with receipt to prove … I’ll sell it to you for £1200 if you like 🤣🤣
My missus had one of these a good 10 years ago. I used to borrow it and embarrass my mates in their Zetec S Fiestas. Fun little car, bit fragile though, always having some issue or another.
Pour 2.4 gallons of Ambrosia custard into the petrol tank, and then sprinkle Hundreds and Thousands into the air intake with filter removed, not only will it sort your issue out, you’ll gain an extra 18bhp and have rainbow coloured exhaust fumes
I have a huge itch to buy a streetka I’ve always liked them and there’s actually one for sale In the town I live in 🤔 what to do huh not sure the wife’s gonna go for a 3rd car though. Sorry to here about your job man hope that all works out for you , also check the Mass airflow sensor for the misfire you might be surprised 👍
Access in the 350Z's engine bay is very poor, the loom is right in the way of the coils. After having already pulled them all out to change the plugs, and put them back again, I couldn't be bothered to do it all over again. So unplugging was the simplest way to get a quick answer.
The 350z came in Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track, followed by a Nismo. Then the Roadster (not convertible as you say) came in Enthusiast and Touring. :)
Chloe’s ,or her parents, front door is extremely well kept and shiny and i liked that.It reminded me of a christmas advert. Its just missing some snow and a nice wreath!
little bit of advice, if your going to buy a sub £1000 car NEVER go to a little car dealer, you'll always get rough cars that are over priced, find a private seller with a car they've looked after who actually know the car Be prepared to go see 5 or 6 cars to find a nice one, the first car that the dealer refunded you was probably because they looked at it and found it was too dangerously rotten in the front suspension so scrapped it
Ford Ka - 17 Minutes of my life I just won't get back. When you'd said watch the full story I was hoping you'd have gone for something fruity, just thrown a curve ball with the KA. This is kind of awkward :(
@@AdamC3046 I love your content Adam, and your wit/sense of humour! I was admittedly distraught watching this one though. Cried myself to sleep last night. Good luck with the KA though :)
I've looked into StreetKa's too because I used to have an MX5 and I thought they could be a cheap, silly alternative to get some roof down action again. The kicker for them though is tax - because they're a 2-seat convertible the tax is enormous on them, so you might as well get a car that actually performs instead. The tiny Copen falls into the same trap, 660cc engine but it's like £230/yr road tax. Shame really
I'm afraid I'm going to have to bust that myth. It's a V6 created by Nissan, which Nissan never really used. So Renault took it during their partnership and used it in a few models. After that Nissan decided it would be good in their cars.
Always new you were going to buy one with how much you mention them 😂 should be a great laugh to drive maybe a cheap car challenge 🤔😁 UA-cam colab Adam ivell
Make sure you watch the full video so you know the full story 😅
Trying to be mysterious does not work but love you channel 😉.
@@chrisdavidoreilly5073 I'm not being mysterious, just making sure people don't presume I kept the car for genuine reasons.
Ok
@@AdamC3046 hey there i am a big fan your Videos also buy a ford mustang GT and put a 5.2L ford engine

Lol when you were comparing all the similarities and realised they're were exactly the same hahaha
Omg you again i swear your top comment every video 😆
@@ghowe5204 hehehehehehehehee
never though two cars from completely different countries could be so similar
Dude, do you realise, that during this one video, you went through 4 seasons? LOL
Speaking of Car Throttle. I think you should go on their podcast.
Car Throttle is kinda lame tho
agree
You know, I didn't subscribe for this content but you're quite a good story teller and pleasant presenter.
Thank you :)
Means a lot, I worried as I haven't done many videos like this before.

Adam, we like to here your stories because we consider you as a brother. Feel free to tell us whatever you want. Have a good day 🌹
TBH It sounds better with five cylinders
Not sure... In any case, it has less trumpet noises now 😆
Those steering wheels are beautifully made. 👍
Tbh the 5 cylinder noise isn't too bad 🤣
I prefer it!

The joke behind the ford Ka/street Ka is that it's the ford CAR or ford streetcar.
Can we see the MG soon, haven’t seen it in quite some time. You know you have to check up on everyone nowadays 😉👌

The lockdown seems to effect people differently 🤔🤔
God was looking after you on 3 occasions😃
"A cow, lovely" that's the car commentary I am here for
anyone else think the 350z looks edited in
Yeh I thought that too. It's due to the fact that the sun location is directly in front, but it was slightly overcast.
Wales
All vlog, I was convinced the z was a green screen😲
Have you checked the MAF sensor on the 350z? Could just need a clean or replacement to solve the misfiring issue
But don't touch it. Just use contact cleaner on it
Awesome video dude
Everything he try’s to buy has a misfire 😂
Next buy should be a 2004 Audi TT convertible that will fit in with your 350z
My missus had one of these a good 10 years ago.
I used to borrow it and embarrass my mates in their Zetec S Fiestas. Fun little car, bit fragile though, always having some issue or another.
Those mugs are pretty cool. I shall be purchasing a few when the courier system irons out its Brexit wrinkles from England to Ireland.

FYI, you shouldn't unplug the coil packs, you should just lift them out/ lift away from the spark plug
Access in the 350Z's engine bay is very poor, the loom is right in the way of the coils. After having already pulled them all out to change the plugs, and put them back again, I couldn't be bothered to do it all over again. So unplugging was the simplest way to get a quick answer.
What car will you be in while your 350z in the garage
No car
Are the two modal car yours
What other two car have you drive
@@AdamC3046 what other cars have you driven
PLEASE TELL ME YOUR STILL GOING TO GET ONE 😭🤞🏻
Good story Ad
"FINALL- you bought it :)"
Just take a look at Porsche Cayenne and Opel/Vauxhall Adam...
More videos like this!
Also when you go to car shows again would you do a full livestream? Think that would be interesting
I have considered it in the past, but I'm always too busy to do so.
If you do get one, it needs to be badged as a 175Z..
Nobody ever tried so hard to buy a Ford Ka :D
Yes AdamC3046
First thing i'd do on the Z, compression test and leakdown test
Ethan Smale has just came all over the CT Office
Genious 😂
Best of luck with the 350z!!
The 350z came in Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track, followed by a Nismo. Then the Roadster (not convertible as you say) came in Enthusiast and Touring. :)
The 'Roadster' is a convertible by definition.

It was a part-ex that they sold 'privately' from their home, but still with the warranty etc.
It was a blessing as I could just get a refund.
@@AdamC3046 yes you were very lucky, many iffy dealers sell cheap vehicles from home just purely to get out selling it with warranty
That insurance company sounds mythical!
Elephant is the company for your reference
@@AdamC3046 thanks mate
Great video.
The short version of the story is don't buy a street ka, it's been quite a journey Adam cheers steve 👍😀
I can see you driving a white Chaser in the future Adam 😀👌
Dude u need a mic for the wind noise.
Love the vids btw
This was with a mic.
It was windy.
The Ford Ka were actually not bad cars, the problem was that Ford never developed them performance wise. ....... if only?
94 horsepower?!
Damn, my Escort only had about 90 😂🤣 They really put a better engine in that little thing...oh Ford, you so silly
Should get a MR2 and put a ferrari body kit on it
They knew all about these problems, selling death traps for profit
Did not expect a Ford KA...
I love your jacket wheres it from?
Zara
You said you bought something similar
350z: front engine, rear wheel drive roadster
Something similar: Honda S2000
From the thumb nail I thought a sport Ka or a Suzuki cappuccino 😂 (havnt watched the video yet)
How about sticking the Ford and KA badges on the Nissan instead?!
Congrats 🎉
KAAAAHHHH!

That's how you pronounce it. You have to shout it

@@AdamC3046 P.S. My play car is an Rx8!! Don't see many of those anymore unfortunatley!
This is brilliant 😂😂 I thought these would've been reliable (other than the rust issue)
Damn that really sounds like the car that got away haha - I'm happy you didn't buy into a nightmare though
Ethan Smale has entered the chat
Where did you get the lamps and steering wheel from?
The lamps were from Bowers Parts Online
The steering wheel was a direct order from Moto Lita
Sorry you lost your job i lost mine due to covid, working again but times are hard we all bounce back though
Yeh mine was lost due to covid too. I am fortunate enough to have UA-cam to fall back on and devote my entire time into
Do the right thing Adam and buy a ford!!!!! ;)
I did, and it wasn't the right thing.
I can't understand why adamc drives these things.. He has great car knowledge and could have a well loved gtr... Baffled by this
I don't like auto cars. Manual convertibles ftw
Next top gear presenter in the making you heard it here first. Great video Adam
funny, ive seen your miniature streetka often...now we know why...
What exhaust does Adam have on his car? Does anyone know?

what was your first car ?
MGB
@@AdamC3046 oh wow
The name of the Ford is "Ka".
Not "K-A" 😂
Yes, but how is 'Ka' pronounced? I have heard people call it 'ka', 'car', and 'K-A'
@@AdamC3046 it’s pronounced ‘NIIIISAAAAAAN350Z’
He's right. K-A is ridiculous. Its KA
Pretty sure most people in the uk call it a k a. Not a ka. When I was in Ireland everyone called it a ka.
The adverts say ka, not that its a worthy car to debate over 🤣 but I've never heard anyone call it a k.a. and hate how he does it 😅
