  1. Awesome colour choice Chris. Me likey lots!!! Are you retriming the interior? Black Alcantara or leather with orange stitching will be spot on with orange dials too :wink:
  2. Nice choice of wheel colour but unsure about the door handles.
  3. One of my favourite cars off all time. Still kicking myself for letting a 640bhp show condition example slip my grasp I think if everything checks out and the car is rust free the mileage is irrelevant. However I don't think it's worth 28k more like 24k. Turn down the boost to 500whp and you will rest free for a longtime.
  4. Don't be tight Dan just get a new pot

    Sumps

    An accusump is completely unnecessary on a standard engined road car. If you have a forged precision race engine with very tight tolerances I could understand the need for pre oiling with an accusump. Also worth mentioning that the OEM sump is baffled too. Just above the pick up is a baffling plate and the sump design also stop oil starvation on cornering etc. you will need to run slicks to be anywhere near to uncover the pick up and have oil starvation. Increasing oil capacity and cooling is more important for our usage.
  6. Happy birthday geezer
  7. This is very unexpected and terrible news David. So sorry for you and hope you recover quickly and start a new build project. I was very much looking towards the rest of your build. Post what you want to sell and I'm sure there will be interest. I fancy the BC racing but will have to sell my KW first. PM me with you list or what you want for this and other stuff you want to rid off. Best wishes

    Sumps

    Got the AAM spacer and oil cooler increasing my oil capacity to almost 7l. Oil temps are perfect and my consumption has reduced and the oil seem to look healthier. APS will be my choice if you need to get a baffled sump but I am warty of how it slight hangs out and the width....... I bad hit and you are in ......
  11. Nice Bhav. Z4 why not 370z WRT the dampness where is this? It's not unusual to have tiny amount of oil come through the top of the damper unit. This is normal when you reset the coilover and should not cause alarm. I had the same thing happen on my KW V3 sll the time when i reset it and contacted KW who reassured me. It's even stated on the manual. Never had an issue with the function. That oil is not connect to the main oil reservoir. If the valve seals go the damper collapses with no resistance and it will loose all the oil not just dampness. Hope this helps out potential buyers. Give them a gone clean though and if possible get them checked professionally and ask more to cover your cost if you pto reservice them. You asking price it's very good to start with. Need to catch up soon.
  12. Bump for a great seller and nice chap. Hi Bhav, what did you get in the end? Nice to see you took care of my coilovers

    Hey ray, can believe you want to silence that beautiful sounding exhaust of yours
  14. Bogof Mr K!! Yes Steve it's that and a whole heap of stuff for me and octet. Was just cheaper to use a pallet. Any luck with your stuff?
  15. Hi guys, I am shipping a big pallet from the USA coming straight to UK in a couple of days. I still have loads of space and would like to help out anyone who wants to order some reasonable sized stuff. Contact me by pm ASAP if interested. I'm not a trader and donot seek to make any profit. We will all get share the benefit of combined shipping. I have bought stuff for people in the states here before so I'm dependable.
  16. Easy fix for your partner. Just need to take of the trim and fit it back in place. Go easy on the spinach
  17. Thanks Chris Hi Sai I still got them and they are in great condition. Collection in Worcester or arrange eg paisley freight
  18. Nice for sharing your build Bob. I like the side skirts best and when you got shot of the tea tray on the rear. Not do keen on the all ginger front look the black grill area made it work before. I'm sure thee is till more to come as you are so fickle Keep it coming
  19. I think your view on polybushes have biased your answer jerrick It really does not matter if you rate them or not but if they are effective in doing what they are meant to do. You can't compare them or say one is better. My whole car is polybushed, in KW v3(soon to be replaced by clubsports), all adjustable arms and antiroll bars and its a mahoooosive handling improvement to OEM in fact when I drive an OEM car it feels shockingly loose but the rude quality is miles better than mine which has so much NVH, stiff and with running very wide tyres also tramlines and bump steers a lot. The whole car is alive in your hand and I love it because of the handling trade off. The OEM rubber bushes have a lot of compliance to make the ride smooth and dampen suspension and road NVH but in the other hand for sharp and responsive handing they are not optimal. Polybushes are exactly the opposite and the emphasis is not rude quality so it all depends what you are looking for and how much compromise you want to make. I have always advised people here that the best street handling upgrade to just improve on stock and maintaining good ride quality are: -Eibach pro or sportline springs or value coilies like BC racing or meisters, -polybushes to OEM antiroll bars only or stretch Eibach antiroll bars. -ultra high performance tyres - ensure the front compression bush is intact if not replace with OEM or polybush -finally a recheck of alignment and suspension geometry.
