All Activity

Yeah, took it for a proper run out today. The difference is night and day. Definitely worth doing. The car was also running massively lean, probably with the hfc's that were fitted in January, so I'm glad I had it done. Car feels more free now through the gears and can feel that extra bit of poke now when I put my foot down. 👍

I said goodbye to my '68 Mustang this week after a couple of years of ownership. The experience wasn't for me... I thought it was my dream car but it turns out i don't like old cars Later the same day I took 3 trains to collect my Lotus Emira. Registered in Dec-22, its done 3.5k miles. The 1 owner bought the car with the expectation of being able to sell it for a profit but it didn't work out for him, so he decided to cut his losses, much to my benefit. It's a well specced car, in Seneca blue, V6 manual with the Sports suspension, full black pack, driver pack (track mode, switchable exhaust, LSD, Ice Grey Napa leather, KEF Premium Audio pack, Convenience Pack (parking sensors, camera), Diamond Cut Alloys, Yellow Calipers, Privacy Glass, Premium Mats, Scorpion Tracker, 20" alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's. List price a shade over £92k. It was glorious weather the day i got it, although was a monotonous drive home on the motorway. The next day the weather was atrocious, but i couldn't leave it at home so tiptoed to work in it... wading through what felt like extra deep puddles was no fun. Today was marginally better, dry by the afternoon so i got to stretch its legs on the way home from work somewhat. Its terrifying. 😂 There's not much low down torque, so you have to be wringing its neck to get the most out of it, by which time you're doing silly speeds. The exhaust is quiet and reserved until you hit 5k revs, and then it sounds like an F1 car - i love this. As you change between Touring, Sport, and Track mode, the exhaust gets a little louder and the lift-off burbles become more prominent, but thankfully there's no Golf-R obnoxious pops and bangs... The manual gear box when driving at speed is a little breathtaking - when lifting off at 6k revs in 3rd to dip the clutch and change up, it feels like you've slammed on the brakes, before being thrown back in your seat when you engage 4th. I've become too used to seamless auto-boxes in recent years. Pictures do not even remotely do this car justice, for either its colour or more so it's shape. It's so wide and low it really does look like a much more exotic supercar in the flesh. I have CCTV at home and have watched 4 or 5 people walking past the house and stopping to take pictures.🙂 The afternoon i picked it up, literally the first pedestrian i saw gave a chef's kiss as i pulled out of the junction. My favourite thing so far is the steering wheel. Alcantara with a square bottom and it's oh so chunky... it really adds to the occasion. With the notchy little gearbox it feels like i'm in the arcade playing Sega Rally. The only downside so far is that it is an effort to drive... i've been bored of my Range Rover for the last 6 months, but after 2 days of driving this it felt incredible to get back into the Range. 🤪 Here's a couple of unimaginative pictures from on my driveway... i'll get some better shots soon.

Other end of the country thankfully, should be a good day

Figures look spot on. Green line looks like it was the before remap run and you've gained 21 lb-ft post mapping, which you'll notice way more than the extra bhp you've picked up.

So did something i didn't want to do also didn't think i would do, and fit a bicycle in the 350z, it wouldn't fit in the boot dispite my many attempts, although i didn't want to risk putting it in through the front to the boot due to major risk of scratching the interior 😢 Probably did scratch a bunch of stuff but... it's in kind of. Removed both wheels and the handle bars and seat post.

Not bumpity bump yet,I need to sort a ticket 🤣

Bumpity bump

TORQEN, Fly1 - We've sold many more as we only released our own version fairly recently.

10sets of the torque range or fly1

We've sold over 10 sets of these now, as well as having a set from our TORQEN range fitted to our demo car, we haven't had one complaint. Fitment is good.

Hello. I was looking at the fly1 motorsports carbon fenders but have been put off due to hearing about fitnent issues. What is the fitment like on these?

Same day as the amazing Players Classic at Goodwood though which I think is show of the year 😡

Oh yeahhhhh, not seen this one before Inthe flesh. Looks nice

Thanks torqen I'm dan on FB that do all the custon headlights. welcome to PM me on FB to discuss

A zed in today for some love, with those lovely wheels that’s me & @davey_83 had a lovely debate about 😂

Cheers matey Saturday after work as the weather was lovely i gave the paintwork a cleanse. Wash, clay mitt and single stage machine polish testing out my new Ryobi DA. Machine polishing in complete untethered freedom. The following day was Sunday Service at Gaydon with the club.

They'll be custom by the looks of things. Give Dan Skippy Thomas a shout on Facebook, he's the man when it comes to headlight customs for 350 and 370z.

A quick pub stop off after Sunday Service @ Gaydon, before heading to Caffeine & Machine. The sunshine makes everything look better.

What headlights are on that red rb 350? Neeeeeed

Blimey, that's one helluva spectacular location and display!

As the restoration continues (started by removing a bit of rust on the front crossmember, now complete rebuild and de-rust) I have a couple of weeps. One is on the pressure valve/nut on the steering rack which will be taken care of by sealant around the outside HOWEVER I'm struggling to identify this under the rad. The closest I can come to is 'lower tank' referenced on https://nissan.oempartsonline.com/v-2004-nissan-350z--enthusiast--3-5l-v6-gas/cooling-system--radiator-and-components - it's in the same horizontal line as the rad drain plug and lower hose attachment. Any thoughts? Right hand side just below the clips where the fan shroud sits. Two pipes (RH and LH) run from the auto-box to the radiator and back again so i assume an integrated trans-cooler and rad. I'm hoping it's as simple as re-sealing the union/thread with a washer and pipe jointing compound for good measure? Thanks. Al.

Picking up tomorrow hopefully... fingers crossed! Just sorted my insurance.... hadn't done a quote until today as i didn't want to know what it'd cost, but pleasantly surprised it's only £488!

Course not 😁
