  1. Sounds like 8 or 10awg
  2. Better with a barrier Contisports, priemum contacts and Pilot exalto 3's seem good. eagle f1 assermericals seem to be decently quiet too.
  3. Hero Chariot.
  4. I wish my Nissan would offer me a 370 test drive. They look awesome. Off topic but you would have been better with a barrier which blocks road noises and the like. Sound deadening only adds panel mass to stop vibrations.
  5. No way she looks like an old woman. Ditz FTW. Ditzy women are always better

    Borrow Decats

    Basically I have HFC's and I want to see what decats would be like sound wise. So if anyone could loan me some decats for 3 weeks so I know how they sound. I would pay postage both ways and even a small rental fee. If I liked them there is a chance I would buy them too. So if anyone can help me please just drop me a pm
  7. If you have a fettish for people who look like men, she looks like Tiff with longer hair. She isnt hot not even a little bit.
  8. no turbo though
  9. Any benifits for a daily driver?
  10. Ive thought about getting my injectors ultrasonically cleaned, anyone had it done?
  11. Turbos will run cooler but let's say your giving it some and they are hot and it's starts to rain and you drive though an unavoidable puddle? As for lag, it would have more but not loads, the guys in the states rub them and they say and show there isn't much lag. The turbo itself will more than likely run cooler as it's further from the engine. The biggest issue with them is the horrendous amount of lag you add to the system, and having felt the difference removing just 500mm from the intake system makes on a turbo, that's not a particularly appealing thought. Each to their own though, if you want easy straight line power then go for OT, although I can't see it being much cheaper to give reliable power than a standard system.
  12. all depends on what fuel prices do, if petrol goes up more but for some reason diesel goes down as haulage companies manage to force a change so its not linked to petrol could make huge savings. 2nd if you have the skills then doing it would be no more expensive than an LPG conversion and if you do the right mileage it would pay for its self within 18 months. Fair enough although a freind of mine has an a5 and gets no where near mpg. Also when I drove a q7 with cruise on at 70 it got 13.7mpg!

    black edition

    Your wife didnt like driving it hmm, did she come home smelling of matches and acting shady Really though sorry to hear that about your car Congrats on the 370z, I love the 370's so cool of a car.
  14. If money was no object why would you care about fuel consuption Also audi 3.0 v6 mapped to 300bhp as fast as it is, souless engine. the question never mentioned cost; and the audi engine is actually quicker than the zed; then engine may be souless but in a zed body it should make the combination alot better. it also means i wouldnt need to drive like a grandad to eek out mpg; could still drive hard and easily get 30 mpg, or take it easy and get 50 mpg. ... as for driving style the brake pedal is the hugest issue with fuel consumption, everytime you brake you have to use more fuel to get back up to speed. controlling the speed by just lifting off and reapplying the gas to maintain a speed is far more economical. leaving decent braking distances etc weight reduction etc all helps You said the question never mentioned cost be if its to get a higher mpg surely cost would be a vital factor? If he could afford to do it why would he moan about petrol price?

    40 profile?

    Im with you on the gsd3's awesome tyre but trust me it doesnt suit the zed. You better be quick if you want gsd3's aswell as they have stopped making them a while back so its only stock thats left.
  16. I love the idea of mid mounted turbos/rear mounted turbos but are they really practical in the UK? even if you dont have the air feeds under the car surely having hot turbos and going through a puddle would have some effect? I didnt think that they would be undertrayed as they must get silly hot.
  17. They dont build them like they used to
  18. I dont have any pictures of fitment but I would imagine it would be decent. TBH I have only heard of bad spoiler fitment from really cheap manufacteres that touch the side. Im in Dundee, Scotland. Thanks

  20. Andlid, Im not 100% sure but its worth checking. the summit or the gt one has 3-4 braces. One big one and there are a few other smaller ones.
  21. Thanks mate Pac Roem sold
  22. I'll let it go this time, but please ensure that any photos you put up in the future have the required piece of paper on them, regardless of photographer Thanks
  23. forgot to put Dblock on the photo's as my brother took them, sorry
  24. Alex could you pm me the price on some light weight but not underdriven pulleys. Don't get the japspeed ones as they have a decat built in and changing the manifolds is anyway from 8-12 hours.
  25. what an open session ? It was great last year as even though I didnt go you listed all the ones. Hopefully I be down to one of them on a week day
