  1. ebay kode tow hooks. Very good quality and price.
  2. Fibreglass, carbon and PU. In terms of quality it really depends on the the manufacturer. We personally prefer very low front lips to be made out of PU because it can take much more abuse then fibreglass and carbon because they have a lot more rebound and less brittle. However again depending on the manufacturer. We've helped fitted many lips made in PU and most people's impression is that PU is fantastic in fit but that's not true. Fitment can only be good if the mould and product out of it is made well but being made of PU you do have the ability to heat and re-shape certain edges which you can't do with fibreglass and carbon. One other thing about PU is that there are many rubbish productions out there being made so thin that they droop and sag. As you can imagine, at speeds this causes it to droop and drag on the road and I've seen many being shaven away. Worst case is if they're so droopy it's impossible to paint because the hardened paint will just crack away where it flexes so much. The quality between fibreglass and carbon again is dictated by the finish of the fabricator. Most fibreglass products are finished in a raw or primed form as the body shop is expected to do the prep and paint work for colour matching. We offer the choice for a black gel finish on certain parts so that painting isn't required and can be fitted straight on. In terms of strength, the carbon is much stronger compared to fibreglass with the same density and a lot lighter. Hence the cost I suppose. But remember with carbon, though stronger and more lush, the top coat is of a shiny brittle resin which cracks easily. Something to think about when choosing.
  3. Some of you may have seen this already as it was done in our old unit. The car was to undergo a gloss piano black finish on the roof, boot lid, A pillars and door handles. Flushing the holes on the bootlid from the old spoiler and de-wiper. This is to tie in the look of his new carbon bonnet with bonnet catches, carbon spoiler, front lip cover and brows he wanted.

    brake pipes

    To make it easier, why not just buy mine? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-Z33-REAR-brake-lines-pipes-ORIGINAL-parts-both-LEFT-and-RIGHT-/251265731002?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a809ac9ba Brand new never fitted.
  8. I some what remember your car Ironhide.How long ago did you sell it? You might see some familiar faces from ccuk on the day.
  9. will it be the same sausages as last time cos they where very popular
  10. you're such a b@stard! lol Fantastic meet and an amazing drive. Is always a pleaser to have met so many supporters.
  11. I'm really curious now how that actually sounds lol. Didn't want to sound like we was insulting the zed system but yes a full install is way better.
  12. Price wise I'd agree with BBK. And like tez162003 said. If you want a cheap zed then why not? Cat C's aren't that bad. If you have decent car knowledge and willing to inspect it, you may find your self a bargain. Many people don't know that loads of jap imports fresh from Japan are written off cars or cat C equivalent. If repaired rite and so's the price, why not.
  13. We all know that the 350Z has a pretty decent sound system already. However this customer wanted more. The idea isn't to just change the head unit but to change all the speakers and wires for a greater peak power all round but keeping things hidden... apart from the sub. What we have here is a shopping list which consists of: Head Unit: JVC KW-AV60BT Double Din Media player Front Speakers: Hertz ESK 165 6.5" 200 Watt 2-WAY HI-ENERGY COMPONENT SPEAKERS MIDS TWEETERS & CROSSOVERS Rear Speakers: HERTZ ECX 165 6.5" 210 Watt 2-WAY COAXIAL SPEAKERS BUILT IN TWEETERS Sub: Pioneer TS-W260D4 8" sub 1200 Watt Custom 8" sealed sub enclosure under rear brace. Powered By: JL XD400/4 JL AUDIO 4 CHANNEL 400 Watt AMPLIFIER JL XD600/1 JL AUDIO MONOBLOCK 600W SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER Accessories 2 packs of FLI 2000w wiring kit 1.5mm copper speaker cable Steering wheel controller adaptor 350Z Wiring Harness 350Z Fascia adaptor And here's the working progress pictures And a video clip of how it sounds
