definatly confirm the aoe having raced on both draga nd track agasint alot of hondas over the weekend , teg will be quicker in the twistys due to light weight but as soona sit slows downt hey cant pull out , stright up drag teg is mig 14's , z low 14's to just in to 13.9 lightyl modded ace driver and i tihnk the m3 is just bit less so good river could win out in either vs average joe. as for track vs tuned civic im sure he'l on later (cant remember your name sorry) one our boys rather wound out a mate of mine on sunday .. very modded civic (coily's , brakes , stripped , 260bhp and some suspension tweaks) , couldnt loose the Z ! faster in one the more open bits but gets ahmmerd out of hairpins , evenin i found thatas a novice the Z pulls out fomr low speed bends so well.

il start then. 1. yokomo

Taddy i thought yours looked pretty good yesterday.

Greeny which line did you order , hell or goodridge ? either way post up when you get them done as im after some now just to cure the lilttle bit of spongeyness but im not sure if the extra for goodridge is worth it or just get Hell plus find some extra clamps.

well from my track time today at rockingham id say braided lines first ! i had barely any fade of most of which id say most of it was due to the hose expansion but ive got slotted/drilled disc ans ferrodos all round.

great day , loved the track action just a massive shame i c*cked my camera and got zero footage anyone get any shots of the track time ?

3 but not for speeding , had some A hole right up my rear coming off the motorway so ran an AMBER to aoiv geting hit and the pigs pulled me for it , yes i am bitter ! 3 years ago so nearly clean , no speeding .

My guess would be a previous owner had the knob off before and has threadlocked itback on . Take the surround off so you can get dime mole grips or alike directly to the base of the shaft to hold it and probably a helper to undo the knob .

I got them from a forum member used. They are about £450 new , pretty sure a couple if the traders have them and i think zmanalex may have some still. Definatly worth it for me finally unleashes the z exhaust noise

jvc avx820 , worked flautlessly wiht iphone 3g but now it connects and plays , can do trakc up and down but it wont open the iphones file list . its liek its not in head mode but the iphone says accessory connected ! good job i dont use the iphone much as i have an 80gb hdd

rob does your iphone4 still work correctly then ? ive switched from 3g to 4 and the iphone no longer works correctly wiht my head unit

go race cats , will pass mot least they should just , if you get the berks like i have they come with anti foulers so wont throw a cel. you will gain a little power but not alot , sounds a bit louder more tuned .

ive got a tube wiht a metal venturi funnel on the end runnign from right at the bottom of my grille back up to the air box and besides from tonnnes of buggs (i have to empty it out my filter every so often) no water gets sucked up in very heavy rain although ive not been silly enough to try driving through any deep puddles that may splash right over it . should still be ok though as you have to maintain an seal wiht the water or it would just fall out.

just so were all clear when and where are we meeting ?

should do , front will fine definatly , back should do as its only 10mm over standard but may bulge a bit as theyre only 8's but i cant see it being an issue. less others know better >?

that who you went with for mod nats ? not sure who il go wiht for trax but im definalty going by hook or by crook !

think stillen do a bumper wiht build in so might be worth checking their site see if it shows any details.

great news , just waiting on my track time ticket now ! assuming it arrives il need a spot on the stand where i can get out .

anyone know if the z2s come in 18 ?

if it does anything liek what it did for my fujitsubu it will be nice sublte more tuned sound and little louder but will be the same scorpion sound .

blitz nur spect wont be that loud its got a huge back box like the nismo iirc

I'm sure the engine cover saves at least 10grams vs the plastic one least that's what I'm telling myself . Bad carbon magpie , don't buy shiney black stuff Front spliter Engine cover B pillars Wrapped side markers

cheapest options is a cheap Y pipe or get one wiht the exhaust and some berk cats , berks about £450 new but i tihnk Zmanalex may still have a set used .

Y pipe will make a small change if thats what your after , as i said above the bits all add up. you could get the y pipe then if yous till want more get a new exhaust the Y pipe wont be wasted as alot dont come with one.

From my experience of oem to quiet y back Exhaust , adding y pipe and now some berk cats I'd say unless your the really loud exhaust type I'd go with one if the quieter exhausts as others gave mentioned to start with . If it's not enough add HFCs they make quite a big change. My fujitsubo was quiet then lil growly and now quite racey so all the bits add up.
