  1. haha i want it to stand out and look like a track monster and not a car thats trying too hard to look show-like haha, i know that sound a bit hyprocitical saying that due to the discreet graphics on the car . I dont want it too look to pretty
  2. Sorry meant to say, price between scorpion and custom isnt an issue. For what i want it for the scorpion is more than adequate. i just thought for more or less the same price i could have a custom system. had my mind made up for the scorpion, but now i cant make my mind up. Scorpion is a safe bet, but I'm not sure of the tail pipes, custom I can choose to keep it looking stock! theres a guy on here from fife who has a custom job with two seperate cans and it is honestly the best sounding exhaust i have ever heard. his names jason btw
  3. jeez i thought that would be the cheaper option. I think im gonna go downt he spray gun route. Means i can mix my own colours.
  4. My painter charges me 70quid a panel including repairing any dents to fibreglass etc. Id expect to pay around 250 quid to get the full front done by means of a "homer" from someone who works for a company. My guy owns his own company who does cars for some very respectable garages around here so it was always a safe bet going with him
  5. for 15quid its worth the risk i think.. fook it, screwfix tomorrow morning it is so pink or red guys? too expensive lol dont wanna cook them either incase the get done to hot and snap on track on me lol
  6. i bought my missus the suzuki swift sport she wasnt happy it wasnt pink
  7. I think so, you would just need the spray gun with a bottle attachment. You can pick up basic spray guns fairly cheap though. http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?fh_se ... nt+sprayer Yeah go pink!! would this cheap badboy workhttp://www.screwfix.com/p/pgs75-electric-spray-gun-240v/13389
  8. i was about to go for red but im still considering pink http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45026
  9. i lurvve this http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=45026
  10. Yep. It also sealed the deal on my (permanent for life it seems) tinnitus. Be careful my friend. Fuji Blueflame much more forgiving. Less Motorhead, more Aerosmith. hahaha i sold it within a month. Couldnt stand the vibration in the car and was far too loud for track Got a scorpion now with decats etc. Scorpion is discolouring at the tips due to the heat though. Time to send it back underwarranty i think Well done. Blueflame with high-flow cats similar to Scorpion sound. Bit raspy but heh, nothing's perfect. Found a piccie of me "coasting" at CC you cheeky monkey......... very nice mate. The sunset really suits the dark wheels Are you still running stock suspension? I need upgraded antiroll bars next, the cars still bodyrolling too much as i'm starting to push harder on track. Getting far too brave these days
  11. hahaha im still really feeling the bright "gay" colours. Means I will fit in when i hang out with bissett haha
  12. top man cheers for the info. Planning on doing about 10-15 very light coats with the spray cans as i havent got a spray gun. I will still try and layer and then lacquer with the spray tin. It doesnt need to be perfect tbh and i dont think it will be. Its just to add a bit of life to the wheels as the car drowns the wheels out with all the stuff on it and bodykit etc. Not running spacers also makes them look very small cheers again
  13. im never selling my zed i couldnt cope with the heartbreak. Mines will go to the carpark in the sky before i sell her
  14. i likey likey someone please photoshop that colour to my rays please
  15. hmm thats not what my missus told me
  16. not bright enough for me anders lol, Want something extreme
  17. That was the initial thought lol, It will look shite though lol was thinking about the sumo power wheel look
  18. Yep. It also sealed the deal on my (permanent for life it seems) tinnitus. Be careful my friend. Fuji Blueflame much more forgiving. Less Motorhead, more Aerosmith. hahaha i sold it within a month. Couldnt stand the vibration in the car and was far too loud for track Got a scorpion now with decats etc. Scorpion is discolouring at the tips due to the heat though.

  19. hahaha theyre going red i think mate! Was it you that added all the kerb marks onto them or was that mr wrighty when i loaned them to him and he burnt the tyres of them.
  20. i have a couple of k&n gold performance filters laying around if you need any I use castrol edge or mobil 1 oil 5w30 fully synthetic
  21. cheers Al Good to know that
  22. my dad done his. We have a sander for it and he done 22" 4x4 wheels in a weekend and they looked great. The paint peeled after 2 years with the power from the pressure washer at one small bit. I was just wanting to check before I go with what he knows.

    BMW Mini's?

    I had a cooper s works. It was a fun car. Gearbox got changed at 12k miles and again at 32k under warranty. Tyres are very expensive without runflat insurance policy. Powersteering pump went on fire twice. Then i crashed it sideways through a pole at around 50mph and it came back but was never the same so sold it for the zed.
  24. The uprev will totally transform the car. It will feel so much different Was it your car I seen on youtube with the k1 video with the girl speaking at the start saying go ? If it was then it was the video that sealed the deal on me buying a k1
  25. Hi guys, just about to start stripping the oem 18" rays to start prepping for painting. I need some info for what grade of sand paper to use to sand the oem paint of the wheels. What grades would be used in intermediate stages also ? I will update this thread with all the processes and stages. If anyone would recommend a type of paint which would be suitable to withstand the heat or I will just use basic spray can paint from halfrauds or a local paint shop. These are track wheels so not too bothered about spending that much money on them tbh. Cheers Neil
