    Injen CBE Install

    Thanks for the comments, It's the sound that gets me Just had to do a run to the bottle bank, big BBQ last weekend, seriously considered taking 1 bottle at a time just to savour and prolong the experience as there's a drive under the A47 flyover. Sad...

    Got to agree with the comment ''white is the best colour...' wish my previous Z, Night Blue 350, had been white

    Injen CBE Install

    Cheers Chris, me and Photobucket just don't get on, well actually it's me 'cos I'm a biff Seriously impressed with the quality of this system; well packaged, beautiful finish all round, the welds are extremely good, everything lines up just so, the flanges are a work of art and not the usual 3/8 plate, and the install took me less than an hour. As for the sound, very, very satisfied a lovely deep burble at idle that just develops into a really sublime 'noise' under load, took it for a 130 mile drive yesterday afternoon just to savour it, even the wife likes it Yes I'll attempt a sound clip! It's been a pretty heavy Mod period to date; Stillen Gen3 install-ram air mod through the fang vents under development, powder coated wheels, 20mm spacers all round, Motordyne M370 Plenum-thanks Tarmac, red turret brace, red calipers...just waiting for the side blades, the Ings +1 front lip and a CF rear diffuser and then...where will it end? Oh, re-map now required. All in all I really can't thank Tarmac Sportz enough for all the advice, assistance and above all patience beyond reproach. As many of you know to your advantage this guy delivers
  4. Got to give a big 'thank you' to Tarmac sportz for this one, very happy with this <a href="http://s1303.photobu...8b328f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zpse98b328f.jpg" border="0" alt="Ramp photo 2013-07-09122108_zpse98b328f.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1303.photobu...a4fa8d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zps2ca4fa8d.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 2013-07-10075658_zps2ca4fa8d.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s1303.photobu...8b328f.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1303.photobu...zpse98b328f.jpg" border="0" alt="Ramp photo 2013-07-09122108_zpse98b328f.jpg"/></a>

    Ouch!

    Spotted a silver 350 on the back of a low-loader, front end damage, anyone on here? A47 just outside West Bilney
  6. Nice GM turning into the industrial estate yesterday afternoon, East Dereham, waved and got a thumbs up in return
  7. As a quick fix, cut up the wife's hot water bottle (it's summer now anyway) and wedge/bond a small piece of the rubber underneath the cross brace nut. Just a quick fix as raising the brace would be best. The rubber is thick enough and will not melt (you could probably re-tile the space shuttle with the stuff) had the same problem and this worked for me on my Gen3 intakes.
  8. Sorry but I have to disagree on this one, everyone else may do but I really do not check the mpg and I really don't care either . But then I've never been to a meet to check out the mpg of other cars , each to their own but I think I'd rather watch my dog moult...
  9. You could try driving with the windows down...you might just be able to hear the exhaust, even the noise of stones in the tyres are a welcome addition. Seriously though you're right it's too quiet, and I realise it's a blatant plug, but if Tarmac can't sort you out then all's lost I'm just waiting to get back home to install my Gen 3, Injen CBE and M370
  10. I've no idea what my 370 does to the gallon...and I don't care
  11. Show me the pics first and then I'll take a set in CF for the 370Z Got a price yet for the Ings CF splitter? Looking forward to getting back home, got some spanner twirling and modding to do All thanks to Tarmac.
  12. Looking good! I much prefer this look to skirts, if the 370Z ones are to the same style then count me in for a set.
  13. 370Z.com and search function will give all you need to know and more.
  14. Bit of an overkill just for a lawnmower...

    Front lip woes.

    +1 Good idea if you don't fancy messing about with resin and glass mat, reckon that will work well.

    Front lip woes.

    Let us know how you get on with this one. Just bear in mind that that fibreglass (the word glass is important here) is a polyester resin that is thermoset chemically and is not a thermoform plastic, much like an epoxy glue. If you apply too much heat it will blister and even catch fire, good luck with putting that out! I work with fire retardant GRP and you'd be amazed to see that even an oxy/acetylene torch wont do much over a 5 mimute plus period. That said it is possible to re-mould slightly and change the contour with extreme care, but after looking at the pics I think you might be asking too much to stretch it into another area. Remember, nothing sticks to fibreglass like more fibreglass, go get a kit and have fun!
  17. Try SamcoSport, hose number TCS216/C. Nine different colours to choose from, if you go to their site you can then 'dress' your engine bay in any of the colours...including gunmetal.

    Uh,Oh.

    Mmm...I remember waiting for the wife to pick me up at Gatwick, thinking she was going to be driving her car. As I was stood there all I could hear was the screeching of tortured rubber as some loon was decending the multi storey, there's me thinking 'hire car, been there done that, wicked'. Then my 350Z came into view
  19. As above, they will turn with some slight resistance and not 'freely' like the fronts. Raise the wheels, put 1 click on the handbrake and see or feel if the resistance is increased. I doubt that an over tight handbrake would induce clicking, stone in tyre might though.
  20. I agree totally with the above, PC curing occurs at between 180-200C, I imagine that Alex's track tyres operate at between 90-100C and the heat from his discs at well over 200C, this heat is directly transferred to wheel. You can even get burnt from letting the hot air out of a race tyre It is fair to say that you'd be foolish not to ues a reputable company to carry out PC on the wheels of your pride and joy, and by offering that knowledge that's where this forum excels. I persononally use BA wheels in Norwich, the service, finish and expertise this company offers is fantastic, they remain in service because of this. To say that PC will warp discs is bit of a misnomer, however attention to detail will warp discs. Don't mount discs to an uneven surface why would you?
  21. It doesn't work like that, you have any idea just how hard it is to open a another 'slush fund' bank account You have to divert all paper correspondence, you have to have a mail drop address, and then you have to install the goods... And should the car sound 'different' then it's a case of 'I need to fix that'. That said, she did notice the carbon fibre wheels on the motorbike

  23. Chris, Re the M370; sorry to ask the obvious but this is complete with all the hoses (blue or black supplied?) both top plates, gasket, etc? If yes to the above then I'll take it Just one small caveat; I know you guys joke about the 'Bank Manager', aka the missus, but mine really is my Bank Manager If ever you are quized about this or any other item I that need, you are not crack, even under the extremes of torture Deal?
  24. Tarmac, Still got the M370? If yes I'll take it And after all the debate I'm 99% sold on the Injen CBE
