    warm/hot

    The zed is bad for it though. It's like a nuclear reactor though.
  2. Is it me or are magazines getting to expensive to buy?
  3. Dblock

    GT-R Coventry

    No offense but... And? This is 350z-uk surely this would make more sense in the spotted section of skylineowners or gtroc? Or am I missing something?
  4. Lol cheers. I'm saving my pennies now. Maybe try driftworks too as people like good wheels on there too
  5. Thats not half, come on I thought we are mates Are you seriously thinking of selling them?
  6. I wouldnt waste your time tbh. I'd just sell them at half price to me
  7. Have you tried maybe ordering these sweets from an online specialist in the USA then get it shipped to brazil? Worth a try maybe as USPS is usually pretty cheap.
  8. Have you tried a online site like inter parcel or parcel monkey?
  9. That's true enough. It was probably made for autobahn and track. It's just when you get it on a good road it "feels" home. The boxster does 74-76 PTV sounds ok if it was free but to charge for a non mechanical diff So 2 years time. You fancy a change of car. Would you put a deposit on the boxster?
  10. They look like a carton of Ribena I think we all have certain aspects of d-baggishness.
  11. The k1 might just be wonky. They dont suffer the quality of the k2. I think invidia and a someothers make similar. If your wanting to go loud try hks replica true duel.it looks great and its deep.
  12. Will they fit? Good job, please keep this updated looks good so far. Could you take pictures when rebuilding the caliper as that would be interesting
  13. You didnt know what a douchebag was? I love Ray William Johnson though and =3 and my favorite martian. Check out road rage on their channel

    LOL Nice of him to replace it. Dont feel bad I once dropped my phone down an engine when using it as a torch
  15. Given that it hasn't changed from the 987, and that that didn't have silly long gearing at all, then no 1st is good for about 35, 2nd takes you past 70mph, and then 3rd is nibbling at a speed that you wouldn't ever want to do on the road for fear of having a licence whipped away pretty sharpish. I kinda get what you're saying, as swapping cogs is fun so if you don't get a chance to do it often then it can feel a bit lacking, but I've never found that at all in anything I've driven. 6th could do with being a bit longer really, as I was sitting at 3K rpm at 74mph, which is a little high. I'm just so used to having a 7th gear though now, so the 981 isn't any worse than the Zed in that regard. That's a huge shame, but I wonder if that's something that may get put back in for the 458 Stradale/Scuderia-style car? Maybe not, I don't know. 'Tis a shame though. 70 in second is silly long to me. Also as you pointed out I never saw they point of making all the gears silly long and 6th pretty much the same as 5th. I personally found with the boxster that I was always in the wrong gear. e.g. my zed on a b road is usually in 3rd to 4th and I know it has the torque but it also has short gears. 2nd and 3rd if Im really pushing. In my 172 2nd,3rd and 4th all get a look in. In the boxster its like 2nd should be 3rd. 2nd is too long but at the same time too low for just blatting around and 3rd to high and long. I kinda like the bark it has high up the rev range but the gearbox (at road speeds) doesnt really let you get there. Did this boxster have that electronic brake diff that pivots on the wheel that is braking? Bad explanation I know.

    Spotted- ft86

    Alot of badge engineering in this car. TBH i dont see the point unless they drove significantly differently or had different engines.

    +1 I have to go there as Scott banned me from opening my bonnet. He threatened to weld it shut!! What have you been trying to do

    Bug remover

    You can used the non acidic I4detailing stuff. I dont usually bother now but if it needs a little bit extra a few squirts of APC works fine
  19. Looking good. When resealing them maybe try to do it in a cold dehumidified room?
  20. I like that. Simple yet effective.
  21. Does the 981 still have silly long gearing?
  22. +1 remember these are prime stone chip locations so the paint might be weaker or already damaged there.
  23. Look cool with the door off. You should keep it off and everytime you want to get in you need to roll over the bonnet.
  24. Your car was awesome. Glad you enjoyed her. What's next on the list
