Cool thanks for that Mark... just what i wanted to hear.. not that bothered about top end power and am really looking for nice midrange pull. have fitted the Motordyne pipe and my version of an MREV2 plenum.. do you do dyno work on a Saturday for a reflash of the UPREV i have already had done? sorry for the thread hijack... not entirely off subject i guess

sorry Mark prob getting our wires crossed... talking about the stock Y pipe not the Motordyne one. the earlier stock pipes are a different shape to the later ones as you can see from the pics above. the DE ones have much tighter almost 90 degree bends to the pipework where the later ones have a series of 45 degree bends and have the point where the 2 join further back from the CATs. not saying it will be much better but having had a read up on a few of the forums they HR one sems to flow a bit better than the stock DE Y pipe not if fitting the Motordyne XYZ to a stock system will make much difference? maybe you can say?

looks different to me?

i have just fitted a Motordyne XYZ pipe to a fully standard system. not sure how much difference it has made but the car 'feels' like it has a bit more mid range and spins up a bit quicker but that may be all in my head. it certainly makes a little more noise but not much. when you look at the standard y pipe compared to an aftermarket one you cannot help but believe it has to help with the flow as the stock y pipe looks soooooo restrictive! stock Motordyne every little bit helps i recon! ok the next most restrictive thing is prob the CATs and then the rest of the system (i am sure i have heard that the rest of the stock system is good for 400hp or something like that) anyway you could always look at fitting a y pipe from the HR motor (one for sale for £40 at the mo in the sale section) its not quite as good as a full after market jobby but it flows better than the earlier ones

making the most of the not great driving conditions to finish a couple of projects standard 276 lower plenum let the mods begin getting there standard lower in place (with plenum spacer) ok its not an Mrev2 but its close! (dont worry i remembered to put the spacer back on!) oh and while i was at it...... stock setup under the car thats better... thanks Motordyne! and on the car cant really comment on any change as its raining here so no playing... will be popping back to abbey for a reflash on the dyno and to see if there are any changes for the better

It's bonded to the tailgate. It did have threaded holes in the underside but the guy at the paintshop said that bonding it would be soooo much easier and it wouldn't go anywhere Got it from www.spoilerdepot.com

well after asking about and looking online i found a nice subtle looking spoiler in the states so decided to have it shipped. just had it painted and fitted... very pleased! will take better shots when the weather improves.... next on the list is fitting the lower plenum i have been modifying and playing with and the Motordyne XYZ pipe i ordered yesterday then back to abbey for a reflash on the dyno

no pics showing mate

http://www.driftracing.co.uk/?p=Drift-Gift-Days anyone been here?

its .co.uk but thanks having a look now have you done it? or just looked? ok... looks ok but although willing to travel buxton is a LONG way away gotta be a few more closer to home?

OK myself and the misses (shes a bit of a petrol head and a bloody good driver) are pretty interested in doing a drift day. anybody done one? any experience? suggestions and thoughts? we are based south east but are willing to travel a little.. would prefer to learn in someone elses car though! not looking to get into drifting but would like to learn to get the back end out and control the slide a little. obviously this is for fun but also has an element of safety to it as being able to catch and recover a slide would be a good thing right maybe we could get a group together from here and get a group buy discount on a day out?

yesterday afternoon

you have a PM mate

was just about to pull onto the M23 at Crawley last night when a sunset coupe passed under (approx 8pm) tried to catch up but i got caught in traffic and you were not hanging around pulling into brighton passing the pavillion a white nismo looking coupe was about 5 cars in front (about 8:15 pm). i got caught at one of the many set of lights and never managed to get as close again before i lost sight as we got near the sea front again you were not hanging about

young lady driving pulled in in front of you on the bike and gave you a little wave then carried on through the huge que of traffic you were stuck in

am currently insuring 3 cars with them including the Z and you would not believe how cheap the fully comp insurance was on all of them... will see what happens next year when it comes to renewal though

gave you a second look as i went past on the bike.... nice looking car!

too right! sod their feelings... you dont know them from Adam. see proof of insurance, some sort of ID, driving licence... and if they buy the car and pay cash count every penny and make sure you put notes under a UV light. i dont care what they think.. if they have a prob then they may well be hiding something as i would expect all the above to apply to me if i was buying

stuck it on the debit card...... decided that the interest rates are so low i wasnt earning any money by leaving it in the bank so i thought i would have some fun.... 350z roadster, new bathroom, 2005 ZX12r, new oak floors and holiday to San Fran so far...

yesterday about 4.45pm Azure roadster (south croydon) (with the roof up????? the sun was out man....) GM coupe with blacked out centre piece under front grille (south croydon) Yellow Coupe (coulsdon) this morning GM coupe (south croydon) passed you all on my new blue ZX12r

crashed smashed and driven like you stole it! i guess nobody has any ideas

anyone have any ideas what would cause the heater to occasionally blow cool air when set on warm?... have the heat set at a constant lets say 25 and now and again it starts to blow cool.. if i wind up the temp it blows hot again so i am guessing its electical rather than an actual cooling problem? no other symptoms and not causing any probs and with a nice hot summer on the way i dont suppose i will really need much heat but in the dying light of a sat eve with the roof down and a chill decending a bit of warm air is very welcome! 2007 facelift roadster if it helps

serious question and not wanting to undo any deals on the group buy as i was interested myself but was there / is there an issue with using an undamped main pulley? maybe better places as a technical question i guess?

I reckon these are looking good at around £380 delivered if I can get 6 people interested. Just working out the finer details but this is looking a goer. could be VERY tempted!
