  1. That's one reliable kit. Yet to see mine do even 1 miles !
  2. full hous ein there now
  3. Like the stilen kit, would have been an option instead of forging the engine for 400+ also not heard any build or reliability issues with these... actually as I type this its not them its novidem I'm thinking about.... ;-) isn't abbey going to stock their entire list now? Maybe tarmac already has this kit lined up? Anyway go go FI
  4. good man if thats going to aid you
  5. without sounding rude, the sound of the car doesn't seem to match the speed of the drive. it's due to the cam mounted far up on the car (roof if I remember correctly) you made me upset now
  6. sounds like a bad day... don't loose the head though, you never know who's in the car behind or in front of you... My mate flashed a crazy driver the other day he was doing at least 100mph up the rear of my mates car almost crashed into him, overtook him and belted away. My mate flashed the guy and got really angry almost tempted to go after him and give him abuse, he didn't took the start of the numberplate and model of the car and called the police. A detective called him back and said that the guy driving this car was some killer that had capped a man up the road and was going away from the crime scene...Just saying, what would have happened if he'd got out and given this man abuse?
  7. http://youtu.be/gt4ca_Q65yI ^ contact that dude and he'll tell you what he must have gone through to stick that engine in her so much win win in that! http://www.project240z.com/ < SOME dude spending A LOT of time trying to get it running
  8. keyser is doing a endurance run on the chat room... must have sat there for at least 14hours at this stage
  9. ^that looks like out of a scary backback / hitchiker movie, like it
  10. ^ something like that, - the fender yokes.
  11. VQ TT kit in there, restore with some tasty skirts and nice 'gone in 60 seconds' colour scheme. mmm mmm gf LOVES it
  12. Hangon a second, I remember members on here slating this setup?
  13. It would saturate the market and start hammering prices down!
  14. New door and new wing mirror and new wheel arch panel, drop it into Nissan and let the guy pay for it. Glad to hear nobody was hurt. Will take a while to sort :-(
  15. Didn't people on here slag that k-sport stuff abit though? I'd rather see willwood to be honest. Have my mind set (more or less). Will probably end up costing loads in TCO but what the heck The saving in R&D, they should have put that towards the sticker maker department IMO looks naff as hell.
  16. just love welds looking like ^
  17. that has to be fake... or the dude had a P45 waiting for him...
  18. Ah right you'd need the TIG stuff for that, can't help you out though I'm afraid. I'd say attend a course won't do any harm, might even get the best idea of where to get the stuff that you need to do it at home too, I'd try someone in the trade first and see what they say. The guy making my exhaust has pledged for ages to get to go on a course but his boss has other plans for him (probably afraid he'll get a job elsewhere)
  19. I agree to turn the TCS off at all times ,wet or not. To intrusive IMO I've got a JDM so they might be different but had to drive it like a granny for it not to light up, even on uneven surfaces coming onto a highway the bloody thing would light up and behave irratic. What really made me decide to put it off always was when I was entering a roundabout (bigish one) at sherrywood industrial estate outside of Dublin (if you ever been driving in roundabouts in Dublin you'll know what I'm on about) saw a car coming out from the DELL office and felt that I'd easily make it through the roundabout, coming into the roundabout I looked again and saw that this dude was belting it around (like everyone seems to be doing over here), so needed to give it a bit of power and the TCS light flashed, car lost ALL power and shugged out in the roundabout (freaky) was almost hit by the oncoming car in the process. THIS wouldn't have happened with it off, a slight wheel spin (POSSIBLY) and then adapt power accordingly and easy avoided the stop at the next junction getting grief from the guy that almost rammed me. He would have been in the wrong btw if he'd hit me (off topic but still). And this wasn't anywhere near dangerous until TCS destroyed my pants It's very possible that my TCS isnt 100% but instead of fixing it I rather drive with it off and adapt my driving style to whatever condition there is, people need to get trained up to handle the power these cars provide and drive with the head. It's all about giving power nice and slowly and not upset things to much, tried driving last winter with the TCS on in the snow (late December with loads of snow) That again proved it useless, couldn't get anywhere. Off TCS and spin a bit to get going and then camly move on I can't provide input on the LSD replacement that I've got since I've not really driven it properly since I got it installed. Don't think it's that expensive mod to be over looked though. Hoping it be well worth the monies I spent on it. (got a feeling that I'll need to retrain my brain driving the Z once I get her back though ) Going around a race track on a motorcycle does help to understand smooth power delivery, nothing worse then a high side on a bike. As a side note, people with dodgy TCS's might have crappy tires or to high pressure or even @*!# camber settings. I had neither but not wide enough
  20. Is it stainless stuff you're planning on welding? hit button to fast, done welding before gas a mig and it was easy enough once you got the hang of what you need to do (cleaning up a weld is nice too) Never tried tig but heard it pretty hard. Think it's a great idea though Wouldn't mind getting my teeth into something like that too.
