  1. Gaz, In your Signature there, the Blue Zed.... Which spoiler is on that car?
  2. Yeah I'm after one with a CF lip on the bottom... I had a disaster a few weeks back, Really torrid weather, heaving it down with rain and I went through a puddle, which was MUCH more deeper than the eye could determine, and off came my C-West CF lip, drove over it, and so did every other ****er driving behind me, knackered!... So I need this bumper in my life, along with some Rota Drifts
  3. Hi guys, Just wondering who you guys use to work on your Zed? I don't like trusting local back street garages with my Performance cars and would much rather use someone who has experience of working on modified/performance cars..... Needing some work done in the very near future (like next week or whenever my brakes arrive) so any help or recommendations is appreciated ... Oh I'm in the Glasgow/West Coast area
  4. Hi guys, I'm unsure if this is in the correct section as I think its more of a Drivetrain issue. Please feel free to move to the correct section.... OK heres the script, I have a few noises from my 04 UK Spec Z. The first one I think is my front driver side brake. Its making a clicky sound, I'm unsure if my brakes are needing replaced, however I have ordered new pads and they should be here any day now. I will update once they're fitted, in the meantime if anyone thinks they might know for sure what this is, your help/guidance would be much appreciated. The second noise is really scaring me. OK read this carefully as I'm going to do my best to explain whats happening.... While driving at around 30-40mph in 5th gear (or at a low speed in a high gear) this god awful noise appears to be coming from under my gear stick. I can feel the vibration through the gear stick while driving. This happens continuously and gets worse as I accelerate, but as the car picks up speed it gradually stops. Difficult to explain but feels as if one moving part is trying to catch up with another moving part... That seem clear???..... Now the noise itself is like a grinding/scraping noise which is embarrisingly loud. I've resorted to driving around town in 3rd/4th gear just so it doesn't happen. While the car is static with the engine turned on and out of gear there is what appears to be the same noise. obviously sounding a bit different as the car isn't driving. But it does seem to be coming from the same area. I've had a read through some of the common faults and nothing really seems to be similar to mine. I'm no mechanic and I certainly don't have the skills to correctly diagnose this problem, but I think my driveshaft may need some attention. I have had a look under the car and nothing seems to be loose or hanging down or anything. If you can help please do. My 350z is my daily driver and I do a 60 mile a day commute. This noise has been happening for the past month or so now. Thanks in Advance. Craig
  5. Get a pic up mate, I'm after one of these and I'd need to paint it anyways
  6. I'm looking for the following parts.... I WILL BUY ON FRIDAY 28TH AUGUST when I get paid.... everything just seemed to happen at once last night with my car.... 1. Exhaust - Would prefer aftermarket S/S 2. Inner Arch Liners - NSF and OSF 3. Wheels with Good Tyres - Nothing outragously expensive... OEM Rays or something.... 4. Brake Pads - All 4 required, nothing cheap good recognised manufacturer... Please drop me a line if you have any of the above, I need to drive my car in its wreckless state for another 2 weeks almost until I get these parts!!!!
  7. Ages back there was a LMS (sunset to you guys) on my350z with blue rims. Looked pretty good. Needs to be the right tone though or it might clash. Absolutely stacks here, might give you some ideas too. http://my350z.com/forum/350z-colors/283 ... unset.html cheers dude!
  8. Ha I know... Will take a little longer to get together, parts are a bit more expensive than the usual Honda parts I can get 2nd hand lol... I've asked someone to do a photochop with blue wheels just to see what it looks like
  9. Cheers for the comments guys... I'm finding it a bit difficult to get a clear cut picture in my head but I think I know what I want.... OEM CF Bonnet N1 CF Rear Spoiler JDM Rear Bumper 18" Dishy Rims, not chrome maybe anthracite, or I think even something blue with a chrome lip may look quite cool. Stretched Tyres Dropped on Full Coilover Suspension Rear tints If the blue rims work, I will be getting Blue DC5 Recaros I have already planned to paint the grill black, I personally don't like colour coded grills on any car! I also hate black painted panels. But its defo the look I'm after and I'm very happy with it!
  10. I'll be after a set of Recaros when I get back from my Holibags... Probably be after a set of Blue Integra DC5 Recaros. Is there a standard Recaro rail available for the 350z?
  11. CF lip fitted, car cleaned and polished Love the look of it! Next up... grill painted and JDM sized plate (front only for now ) Big thanks to Sarah at Envy for providing the lip!
  12. Thank you! I am ze link steeler muahaha!!!
  13. Very nice... theres a boy up my way with one of these in black.. the Z looks so small and puny (say P-You-Nay lol) next to it
  14. kicking the @*!# out of Hondas is so much fun though! HONDA - Hold On Not Done Accelerating... I assume your other toy has two wheels
  15. You must be older than you look Digsy! I quite like Hondas generally. I love the VTEC but I don't think I'd like it everyday! VTEC is awesome... I miss it already!!!!! So true! however, my black coupe was punting out around 167lbs of torque which is non too shabby for a Honda!
  16. Ha cheers guys... Yeah I noticed my wee dugs eyes in the pic after I took it lol... the pics are took on the splash just next to the boat club... I have some new pics with a better camera, but I cant find my usb cable but I'll get them up once I do so
  17. So true, you can tune a civic to well over 500bhp now, not that its worth doing as its front wheel drive... but the boy I bought the Civic from had a 398bhp Integra Turbo and that thing could go like stink! The coupe was running around 220bhp and could always give the scooby boys a scare
  18. but if nobody told you it wasn't paint, would you know???
  19. Alright guys... As I said before I'm a bit of a Honda head and previously owned these two cars Maybe not what everyone is into... but I love em!!
