Not my work but very useful reference.. written by Rudeboy, Talkaudio http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=306859 I might be able to find out some photos of my 350z door and boot install if anyone wants to see. I used Dynamat Extreme and Luxury Liner Pro. If there is interest i'll post them.

Luxury liner is a barrier. It has a heavy vinyl layer bonded to a foam layer which acts as a decoupler. The heavy layer blocks low frequencies such as road noise, truck engines etc. The foam layer acts like a diffuser, scattering higher frequency sound waves. The two layers together do a good job of blocking out a lot of outside noise. I looked into all this before I did mine, that's how I remember it anyway

I have dynamat on big flat panels, this is to absorb rattles - not to block sound. I also have luxury liner pro lining my doors and boot etc. This is to block sound from outside. It does weigh a bit but it takes mass to block low frequency sound waves from outside. I read a comment about studios having egg box foam, this is to stop reflections, nothing to do with blocking sound. This would be done with a lead liner in the wall AFAIK.

Sold that a few weeks back, the MR2 resides somewhere in Walsall now so you may still see it. The Zed isn't really a daily driver though, doesn't come out too often

Sorry all, and i hate it when people do this but i've got to call this one off. Unfortunately my employers have dropped redundancies on my depertment yesterday, which may mean me. As a result i'm going to need to utilise my time this weekend on other matters. I had the whole weekend planned too with an overnight in a hotel in Lincoln city centre with the +1. Again, sorry all

Looks good Ian Still haven't got mine on yet, i want to remove the reflectors first so bumper off job. Did you bolt them?

Some great pics there! I will try and sort out ours when i get a minute some time spare. We had a great day out and it was great to meet a lot of new people Well done Mitch for the trophy! ..and thanks to the organisers - another trophy for the stand to their credit Looking forward to many more meets guys (and girls)

Thanks, will aim for 8.30 ..right then, time to get some wax on!!

As the Midlands drive is now off I'd love to drop in on this one if there's space on the stand?

I'm going to be changing my seats this weekend I had a search and can't find much on the cables attached to the seats. I know there are different versions of seats with varying levels of gadgets built into them. I have an 03 JDM and as far as i can tell it doesn't have airbags or any electric adjustments etc. However, there is an electrical harness from the car. Anyone got any idea's what this is for and what to do with it when i change the seats? I read something about an airbag sensor, which can be sorted with a resistor circuit? If there aren't any known guides about i'll write it up for others to benefit from Thanks in advance..

Please tell...

Careful now... It's very popular with campers. Many a memorable ride had here, with and without the wife

Nice views there, bet it was a bu@@er to peddle up though A few from Cannock chase in Staffordshire, often mrs. and I ride out to here over the weekend as it's not to far from us..

Would love to see some pics.....

i like your sense of humour

That's a very clean example, shame there's not more pics of it. Nostalgia overdose. During a trip to Aulton Park earlier this year, i saw one of these.. It has been in the back of my mind ever since.

It appears this is common practice with big car projects for some companies. I know of one car (Celica GT4) that has been in a garage for 3 years now, and at least one other (Pulsar) that has been in a garage for longer than that. They are different companies too. Not defending it though, I think it's totally unacceptable too. But treating a customer like this is totally off regardless of time-scale, he had every right to get his parts back - and all of them too. Actually, way before it got to this stage i would expect Thor to apologise for the delay, reduce the end labour bill as way of an apology and pull their finger out and get the job done for him.

Well said D4XNY, i was similarly enraged - hence starting the thread. Our forums are an ideal place to share our experiences and hopefully steer people away from bad traders. My bad Rich, read it properly this time around. I must say i'm suprised to read that about Rogue, my MR2 has been there a few times - not recently granted. They used to be very good - and their mapper, come to think of it my MR2 was mapped there twice with great results. I think all this just adds to the value of a moderated forum with approved traders

Good enough for me Chris. I think it's no surprise, the trader was.. THOR This is a post from the 300zx thread, there is more but this gets the point across: I for one will not be using them.

Trust you Sarnie. Rich, your link is to a thread about Rogue, the mr2 specialists. Not sure on the connection? If a moderator says it's OK to name them then I will - or link to the 300zx thread - but I enjoy being on this forum and don't want to break the rules. I think the point is that in this case the information is unsubstantiated and so it could be seen as unfair to name the trader. It's a bit of a grey area to say the least. I can see it from both directions. TBH though this thread can just be taken as a warning to either use an approved trader on here OR do some research before putting any money down elsewhere. I'm sure if you pm'd any of the members here that have experienced these people and asked for their advice on where to take your car they would steer you in the right direction, ie toward a good trader / tuner.

Ian, i have a box full of canards in front of me . Drop me a pm bud P.S. Many thanks Adam

Same thing here, site inoperative and phone number not active. Either they went bump or they went back to wholesale only, which is what they were doing before the recession - trading to garages only. Shame, i saved a huge amount of money buying direct from them, looks like I did it at the right time. I even got the cv's changed under their warranty, CS said he had no problems getting the money from them.

I have emailed the fella with a link to this thread. I have invited him to speak up.
