  1. right its up for sale, looks awsome but on my car its just too low,

     

    quick update, the splitter has had the ends modified so they dont go up the side of the bumper as far, looks 100X better IMHO,

    the stickers can be removed if not to your taste... fit really is 100% (was held on very securly with 2 small screws at each end only)

    has been repaired in the past, i used loads of fibreglass and fibreglass filler then had my local body shop smooth it and paint it, have had it fitted for 3 months but finally hit a speed bump with it, its got a surface crack in it, not right the way through but when the sun shines on it you can just about see it, very easy fix tho, having removed it it quite like the debaged stock look so wont be getting another lip, just going a bit lower with the car

     

    i recon postage will be a biach as in never gonna find a box this big, so COLLECTION only please, ill update with a currant pic in about half hour, but here is how it looked when it first went on

  2. i know its lighter than the original but there is no way i would wrap real carbon fibre in fake, it can be flatted down and re laqured if the place is really good, i had mine done but the laqure kept misting up all the time, im sure there is a special polish you can buy to take care of it after its been redone tho

  3. my mates had 3 and they have all been nothing but trouble, kinda funny watching him sometimes as he thinks its so super quick... its not, think it all depends on how much you want to spend and try and get one that has completly overhauled engine, and best bet it to find an owners club, my mate has had to change both his turbos twice now from poor oil flow and its an engine out job each time... not fun...

  4. i have been advised that with my decats i am better off running the mild steel standard y pipe as the uprated stainless ones dont tend to last very long,

     

    my original y pipe is shagged, the braiding is also completly off, its rusty as fook and starting to blow

     

    so im after a standard replacement ive very good condition please, cheers, jake

  5. candys are very hard to match should you need something touched up or redone as candy it a laqure which you apply over a colour base like black or silver then built up the layers on candy laqure ontop usually between 8-12 coats, so touchups never look evry good, unless that it a differant type of paint or just a heavy metallic red?

  6. i guess it all depends what you like doing ect when about but ive got a group of mates, from tengoku-racing and touque-uk who meet up at bury lorry park every saturday nite usually about 8ish, odviuosly depending on the weather for the turn out but the clubs have a good rep for attracting nice cars, in the summer there are alwasy lambos, ferraris, bmw csl'd ect, the usual croud are slightly more modest with a couple of sklylines,supras, MR2 turbos, r34, few 350's mainly performance jap and performance american cars... always a good cround and all the chavvy lot know to keep there distance

     

    thats at bury lorry park every saturday nite, coming from ipswich its the first turning for bury off the a14

     

    it intirly up to you guys if you would like to come along personally id rather meet everyone there as you get a wider circle of cars than purly 350's

     

    can always pm me if you need anymore details

  7. dam thats weird, looked at the big map and its like 4 years out of date then played around with it and its like sombodys been at the end of my drive with a camera, bit freeky if im honest never knew thats was on the net, especially how easy it was to find

  8. the k1 is too loud for most people before the decats...

     

    ive got TOPSPEED resonated decats and they dont rattle or rasp, couldnt be happier with them, i have never had or tried the non resonated pipes on a 350 tho

  9. looks pretty cheap considering....

     

    theres a nissan garage i drive past in ipswich everyday that has a silver 06 350z with leather seats, brembos ect for £16,995! admitadly it has been sittin there a good few months now tho, and a few cars down is a fiat 500 arbarth thing, im liking the look of that for some reason lol

     

    and i would agree with the above comments about having a look at it on a ramp before buying it, its so cheap so could be worse than it looks

  10. i just bought and fitter a pipercross fanel filter to my 350, does make a nice differance, i had an apexi cone filter, then went back to the standard filter setup and really did notice a differance with how the car revved, but with the pipercross its much better, i found at least with piper cross they give you figures like 30% increased airflow where as hks just said increased airflow, so i went with the numbers...
