Sold my 350z now, so have an old plenum and collector for sale sat in my garage, listed on ebay for 99p Just thought I would make you people aware if you wanted to practise your polishing skills before trying out on your own plenums. Collection from St Albans Herts. Cheers, Dan http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181223010083?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Hello Guys, long time no see, just saw this video and thought I had to post to try and spread the word what are car enthusiasts are not about! Was posted fresh today the broadcaster also wshares the same facebook name which is where I first viewed the clip, no, not a friend of mine! Feel free to share on as many forums as possible, hopefully will find its way to the right authorities... Give the car scene a really bad name I cant post the vid for some reason?? www.youtube.com Honda Integra DC5 vs Seat Cupra R with Stage 1 Map

Ypu have to watch the whole film just for comedy value, the best bit is when they test drive the "mx-5" which in fact is an rx 7, and turns into a nissan 200sx while its driving around! But my favourite bit is where the girl mechanic, comes yup with some wicked designs on the new car, so funny, you have to see them, i wont ruin it for you!!

Well i was bold and resprayed my seats red, colour change all together However you can get black spray which will do the same job try www.furnitureclinic.co.uk Dan

Yep all masked off, and painted, gettuing the bits i couldnt reach with a fine paint brush, touched it all up, and gloss and sealed, still lasting well now.....

Welll that car has obviously put a lot of smiles on faces to get up to that figure! Fair Play!! Nice to see a car being enjoyed!!

They look friggin awesome!

Looks tasty to me, Id have one!

Blimey, this thread got a lashing today lol But thanks for the comments guys....all appreciated Am currently, replacing the ice at the mo! Watch this space And as for sideskirts, i have something up my sleeve....... (I'll need long sleeves!)

Yep, super glue is your friend, mine still on strong! Left it over night to give it proper time to set, and its great....

All sorted In the end i had tapped onto the wrong wire at the back..... I tapped into the pale green one in the centre of the car, rather than locating the pale green one, that comes out of the reverse light wiring loom on the passenger side... exactly the same colour wire, just about a foot apart. then my screen was makking funny colours, so changeed the connection from ground to positive in the head unit settings, and bam, it worked! So please note, these things when fitting..... other than that, its a piece of p**s!!! And I have a JVC kh-70000 double din unit.

Cheers Mark, Yeah I may have to pull it out to double check, but basically i went into settings, rear cam was on and it said something like positive/ground, i done both, still no result, and there is 2 yellows, one for cam in, and one for video in.... I connected to cam in, but can try the video in too....

Ok seems i am having the same problem as SpursmadDave! Ran 2 wires through the car (video and purple reverse signal) into the head unit, and connecting the reverse signal to the pale green and silver reverse lamp. I connected the cam up fine, ran the leads into the car, and connected the video. And then connected the positive to the pale green and silver, and the negative to the main ground point as illustrated. Turned car on, and selected reverse, and bam, nothing! Doh, so now im at a loss what to do.......

Greetings, was good to meet you Buster, me and Amyzed, came looking for you later on, but I think you were off wandering around, was a great weekend, and good to see a few zeds there.... And the zeds I saw there looked great, especially love your work buster, a fine zed, and also loved the yellow one there too! Hopefully bump into you guys soon! Dan

Well I just ordered a set too! ha ha

Cheers fellas, the trickiest bit, is wedging yourself under the steering column, not easy for us big fellas, nimble hands help as well! Had my clutch adjusted for about a month or so now, no complaints at all, i lowered it even more for personal taste, its prob about 20mm behind the brake pedal now, but no, it dosent ride the clutch, the biting point is just nice and low how i like it!

You can any colour you want too, yellow, blue, green, yellow, tan, brown, cream, pink if you fancy?!!? lol

Mine was tatty anyway, it needed painting, I can always buy the paint to recolour it!

Ok some more info for you all, I got a medium sized kit, which is more than enough, I still have half the paint left still, and its cost £60 with delivery It took a total of one day, I removed the 4 bolts from each seat, unclip the electric plugs (2 on passenger, 3 on driver) And they come out easy enough, I then prepped the chairs (1 hour) masked them up (1 hour) and sprayed....taking my time, drying with a heat gun on low heat before applying additional coats, i then glossed and sealed. removed masking tape, and touched up any areas (especially around edges) with a paint brush, any excess paint was removed with white spirit and a cotton bud or cloth. It really was that easy It comes with everything you need in the videos, the spray gun, the spray propellants, alcohol cleaner, gloss, gloss sealant, scouring pad and cotton wool, Im really pleased with them.

Ok here are the before And here are the afters.... (iphone pics for now) They arnt as red as in the pics, more of a burgandy red, will take some proper pics when its not raining!

Cheers del, I'll put pics up soon!

Cant knock it!

Well I've just ordered a refurb kit, will post a guide when i have the balls to do it! ha ha

Well after yesterday amd the eventful day it turned out to be, we did finally get a chance to take some pics, all be it, very dark ones! But these lot turned out ok..... Quoted from Amys introduction thread..... Well.... things dont run smooth with me and 350's!!!! aaarrrrggghhh!!!! OK, im sure ill forget alot of detail in this; maybe Kite, or D4NXY (hope thats right user name for danny with the lovely black modded zed) or BulletMagnet can add to this!! they all came round mine to help me fit the 19" alloys, k1 exhaust and look at my 'cubbyhole' The wheels went on.... the rear tyres have little air and as they have aluminum valve caps theyve corroded / got stuck on and therefore tyres (rears ) have little air right now... (this may help explain a big prob ive had today.............) the exhaust; the poor chaps were at it from 1pm till 10pm- no joke!!!! the standard exhaust the bolts etc were so rusted they just couldnt get it off.... easy on a ramp as room to swing at them etc.. but we only had they car jacked up. So i ended up driving it last night with no exhaust and the k1 in passenger seat!!! That however was all fitted at a garage today, and looks great- sounds good too. i like it . The cubby hole.... They had it all out and in pieces.... and my motorised screen had stuck down- we got it back up and the reversing camera worked...woohoo!! the sat nav does not though. whilst all this was apart the weirdest thing happened!! the car made an actual door bell noise!!!! DING DONG!!!!! twice!!! it was really funny... but very strange!!!! we all joked the cubby hole would close when all put back together and ignition switched off......... guess what- it did!!!!!! so the motorised flap seems to shut it but not put it up!?!?! it was really gutting as theyd spent a while taking it all apart just for it to shut back down!!!!!!! BulletMagnet (Mark) was really kind and took it all back apart and has now disconnected the cubby hole motorised screen- so now its stuck open so i can use the reversing cam.... but its all very strange and the sat nav is just lit black and beeps now and then and jap writing comes up ... ill need to sort this eventually. We were listening to 'Elton John' haha whilst working on the zed and when we went to start the car her batt had gone flat.... typical!!!! this was at about 10pm after a huge struggle all day with exhaust!!!!! We swapped kites batt with mine- then quickly threw mine back in and charged it- we went for a photoshoot with the 5 zeds which Danny took the pics so hopefully we can post these up ..... There was 5 zeds as also Terry helped... i dont know his screen name on here !! he said he will come back on though today... tried to open the car- didnt work..... i assumed batt had died, started to bang my head on walls by now!!!!! but somehow after 5 mins it actually opened and started! very strange !?!??! i assume poss my key fob batt is dying??? i had the exhaust fitted, they didnt have alot to do as the guys had done most work, that went well !!BUT ... On route from fitting exhaust to work the SLIP warning light kept coming up on dash, i seemed to be losing power , so i drove to work really slow i dont really know why.... i am praying its because the rear two tyres have not enough air... and one rear is very low on tread. I tried to replace that today but they didnt have the tyre i wanted in, i also asked them to pump then up- replace those valves as they were stuck- they advised untill i have the tyre not to said they didnt want to disturb the tyre replacing the valves?!?!!? and told me to get my garage this eve to do that...... this eve its going to another garage who are respraying front bumper and meshing it ..... so i just pray the car opens, drives and doesnt flash SLIP up too much ...... and i can get that garage to source the tyre and pump em all up right..... all in all... very stressful if anyone could help with this SLIP warning light that would help, it is because she now has 19's on her? or perhaps the fact one rear is low on tread and low on air??? i hope its the above and not a real fault / issue ........ thank you to the 4 lovely zed owners who spent allllll day helping me and under my car getting rust in their eyes yesterday. i cant thank you enough! help!!!!!! And here are the pics! Hope you Enjoy! Dan

Yeah I done this yesterday, put some 6000k ones in, the hardest part was removing the grey cover cap!
