  1. They are... have you SEEN the crashes/speed/stupid stuff the American kids do in them? To be honest the build quality of the Zed isn't fantastic, (Slim) after seeing the build quality of your fathers car (Merc) there's a massive difference. I bet if you removed the drivers door from both vehicles. The weight of the Merc door in comparison to the Zed door I'd say could potentially be twice the weight. Why? Cos it's built for safety. I don't believe the Zed would stand up that well in a major crash, yet we all like to have some spirited drives. That's tempted me to investigate the NCAP ratings...... My dad has an S500L and it doesnt weigh that much more than the 350z, also the doors are fairly lightweight as they are made from aluminium Also stiffer isnt always better you could build a car that could survive any crash but the rapid decelleration would kill you. Its a balance between stiffness and stength verus aborbing the energy of the impact.
  2. They are the exact same

    Isn't it a different bus and therefore completely different? Autosnap do a jobd reader
  4. Lee will no doubt do a great job. Pics abd specs of install for me to drool over Already watching that one but thanks for the heads up As DBlock has said this particular head unit is one of the best for sound quality based car hi-fi installations. Check out the review here http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/index.php/in ... 8rsii-r584 It's been discontinued for a while and it's replacement is over £800 now so well out of my "source" budget. @DBlock - I'm leaving my zed in the capable hands of Lee at Sonic Frontiers
  5. Are you sure you had that one? That particular unit is awesome for SQ.
  6. I think the civic and supra markets are quite big but also well catered for. You keeping it Japanese?
  7. always make sure the oil is warm before flooring it.
  8. Hi Steve, that would be perfect i'l drop you a PM.
  9. HFC and Y pipe prov sold Just the exhuast left now
  10. Is this to see hypothetically what we would perfer or is there some Market research going on to make one of the above exhausts cheaper?

    Rota's

    I would email rarerims and Tarmac see if they could hook you up.
  12. Depend on the age of your leather and condition of may need different things. Only of your leather is cracked or pourous should you need to condition it as most car leathers are sealed. Furniture clinic sells all sorts of stuff from this putty stuff which covers cracks to the actual painting kit. Worth looking at if they need doing been looking at the gliptone stuff, but any good reccomendations would be really appreciated as its going to be something new to learn and i really like the idea of renovating the seats myself and not paying someone else to do it.
  13. Good on you, the knowledge the car gives you will be free I suppose. I'm not sure what the owners club is like for it but if you have a good guides section you can get most jobs done easily. Are you going with the furniture clinic stuff for the leather?
  14. I've read that before makes me shiver at it could be you at any point. Makes you scared to drive. Be careful out there
  15. True, I didn't read it as he wanted a full wrap but looking at it in context I'm sure your right. I just want to get 5 people on the gb
  16. RTbiscuit also has a group buy on Hexxis vinyl at the moment and wraps other things on an exchange basis, come on Rich standard grade business management
  17. i think its past the point of more sanding, the area already has a nice shine to it, so higher grade W&D won't help. its time to get it checked first by a body shop before doing anything else. ahh looked like it just wasnt flat to me and it needed some sanding.
  18. thought about getting a rotary and going to town? Are you going to use this as a canvas to showcase your graphics and wrapping? Matt british racing green would make you ball like bo'diddly
  19. Could you not sand it with some 3000 then 4000 and then uses some menz IP or something similar?
  20. The boy hath already done - surprised you weren't blown away by it though Rich - Black hole is amazing stuff. i could still see swirls in the paint, which made me think i was using it wrong, had the DA set to about 2 and wokred it in to the paint, left it to haze, then buffed off, but it didn't seem to do much don't know if i should have worked worked it in more or what got plenty of time to play with it. i'll have another go next clean. Blackhole is like britemax #4 isnt it? If so its just fillers so you will still see the swirls but just less.
  21. +1 V cheap. Im sure they where on the g35s and skylines so you can get a rough guess.
  22. On the west coast there is a news flash when there is an orange fireball in the sky
  23. scrap panel is always a good cheap way to practise.
  24. I know that's why I explained to use the double oil type. DBlock, the youtube vid is talking about using chemical engine flushes, not a double oil change type flush.
