  1. I think they might be modded headlights from dreamcustomz
  2. It's because the doubters (including myself) have been silenced..... Good job Scott, best of luck with the sales.
  3. I hope Scott can beat the odds and make this work, because who knows what I may do in the future....
  4. Either buy one or makes another 314 posts
  5. If tea and chocolate hobnobs are on the menu, you might get an audience!! I'd rather have Fox's Extremely Crunchie Cookies with fruit and nut tho.
  6. +1 and after reading the notes above, i would be unsure if i would buy an item if it was show use only. its either fit for purpose or its not. I know full well that this product should be, and i doubt we will see an issue. but for me its either fit or it isn't Not even if the material is scientifically more than fit for the job, well on paper at least?
  7. Right, I'm gonna stop posting on this thread, cos I'm not even buying one. But just be said that the "Show Use Only" strikes me as a bad idea
  8. As I said above, "Show Use Only" is gonna be a bit hard for an integral part of the engine, it's not like show style numberplates or strobe lights.
  9. Does that mean you have to carry the carbon plenum in the boot, then arrive, spend time swapping the plenums over and then swapping them back before driving home? PITA if you ask me. might aswell just make a plenum overlay then that you put on when you park up... (Or buy a trailer and don't drive the Zed at all )
  10. I see the joke in this, but it's one thing to have carbon dress-up items and carbon items that have a major function in your car, i.e. part of the engine.
  11. But then again, you could use the same argument on yourself. How can you defend something that hasn't been made yet? I think it's best to let Scott do what he needs to do to get this thing made, and then we'll see what's what. Until then any discussion will be pretty pointless. My personal take on this: When you say "martin if you can show me an example of a carbon plenum from another manufacturer that has melted", don't you stop for a second and wonder why there is a lack of carbon plenums on the market for our car? Wouldn't you think that people like Cosworth would have given it a go? But they made one with carbon covers, rather than completly out of carbon. But again, until the item has been finalized and thoroughly tested, we won't know for sure. And I mean thorough, i.e. give it at least a month on an engine to see what it does long term. No point having something nice and shiney, when it don't work properly. Also, will these items come with some sort of a guarantee? In case that the item causes damage to the engine? Just my thoughts.
  12. Lin, be reassured that Sarah has a wealth of knowledge in regards to the Zed (no pressure Sarah, lol)
  13. Go visit Sarah at Envy South in Chobham. They have a nice cardboard box with "5Zigen" written on the side of it and has a nice shiny new exhaust on the inside....
  14. Prada do carbon Glasses and sunglasses
  15. So when you doing the first ever Louis Vuitton Handbag Groupbuy then?
  16. They could prolly get carbon fibre cuffs if you asked tho.....
  17. Btw Lin, just read your sig and it says 350Z GT4 in Azure Blue, with three cuddly toys - Tiddles, Millie and Bagpuss, spare overnight bag including lippy and knickers, and a luggage net from Halfords that cost £3.99 instead of from Nissan at £40. You not telling us you "get around much" are you?
  18. You know you're gonna regret that, lol *whistles*
  19. I might come up with a crazy plan... On the Rays, you have them three lil squares on each spoke right? How about drilling them all out and putting some LEDs in them! Then attach a button battery pack in the inside of each spoke. All packed in resin so there is no whistling when in motion. Imagine that!!! Bling Bling shiney LED Rays! Muahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
  20. Well, sadly, when I got my Volks, somepone at the factory in Japan forgot to put one in the box. So when I bought them and turned up at the fitters, we only had 3 stem valves. Tony @ Envy, then made a trip round to find a valve and found a truck/lorry valve. it was identical to the ones Volk supplied, only difference has the rubber o-ring, but that only needed a little trimming to fit. So short aswer: Yes, it 100% fit and worked for me
  21. tried a tyrefitter for road hauliers? One that don't do cars, but 18 wheelers only?
  22. Go to your local tyre fitters and ask them if they have a 90 degree valve that you normally use on truck/lorry wheels. They fit just the same and I have one on my Volks, been running it since June with no issues whatsoever.
  23. Personally, I find the Bugatti Veyron technically amazing, but visually unappealing.
  24. I wonder who else on here has ordered the Prestige Edition, and when it arrives will take rthe Zed out in the evening to a private raod and drive without the headlights on?
