  1. Project is looking great! Mind me asking where you managed to source the LEDS from? I've been hunting for some for the kick plate-type size for ages and ages and lost all hope!!
  2. Amazing figures and so wanting to supercharge mine now! Would love to see a full spec sheet of the total car once done! Meanwhile I desperately need your job - wish I could afford all this hehe Question - is 430bhp safe on a non-forged engine? I thought it was recommended 420 or so max on a De/De-revup?
  3. Great day and great turnout - the sun even tried it's best in fairness to stay out as best it could and I've come back red-faced and now applying after-sun Meet a few users and was great to talk - would have love to have met some more faces and put faces to names but hopefully can do it again at other events!
  4. Ouch that didn't look great and can't believe he carried on - though I think I'd want to escape all the cameras as well! lol What about the clio and BMW crash earlier - that wasn't good either! the BMW turned into a fiesta as it lacked the rear boot space! lol This is why I've never had the guts to tackle Castle Combe......
  5. I'll be coming up on the day as it's only about 50 min drive for me. Is it best for me to meet you all at the hotel or the stand? And which options what time is best? sorry to be a pain
  6. Money ready for right one Desperately after a v2 spoiler!
  7. Saw jables car - right by the track fence! Saw another gun metal by Merlin and yes as Reeco saw a blue one down the back! Gutted you didn't see mine - it was at the front of the stand as well - good pitch just round corner from toilet block I had a good chat with another 350z owner but didn't get his name - wonder if he's on here?
  8. Make sure than any P&P you incur is already refunded But glad to hear you're getting somewhere!
  9. Pics before sending and on arrival is a bloody good idea which I never thought of! I'll get that added to my to-do list from now on But on the more important note - I'm gutted for you and do feel the other party is being unfair. During the first few posts I read I felt that no one could really start blaming anyone - as others had stated we didn't all (including yourself) know the full story - he could have been ill, had a family issue, etc... in fact I've been in that very predicament a while ago when trying to sell a load of ebay items and I couldn't get to a computer nor wanted to as I had other pressing matters. As soon as the worst was over though I was back on it. However now knowing communication has been received I think it's well bang out of order! I'm not quite sure how he can just pass it off surely some guilt or conscience should kick in? I know mine would! I agree name and shame only at the last point when all else doesn't work as it is the last real option and often just starts the downhill approach - often introducing the online pick-fork gang attack which doesn't often help much (but agreed everyone does feel better lol). From the admin side, I totally understand their point - I'm the admin on another forum and it's really hard not to get involved but from another perspective getting involved as a company/entity can end up worse for that organisation - we don't provide any services for issues like this as our insurance would go sky high just for the risks.
  10. Ill be there with my local club as well!
  11. Cracking job and great car to learn on! Would love to do this - in particular would love to learn how to weld! Rt did you weld your car up yourself?
  12. Yep Seabee your car was the only HR. I've hot a revup and then there was two De models. One did pretty well - he got 216 I think (which works out nearly stock bar 9bhp I think?) while the other only got 196 which was quite down. I think all had cat-back exhausts though the low-figured 196 also had a pop-charger.
  13. Seabee - sorry I missed you I didn't get there until around 10.40 and you'd been and gone! To be honest all the 350z didn't do amazing on the roller - mine included! I've got a 2006 296 rev-up with 74k mileage with cat-back and was hoping for around 285 given the age but nothing like it.... I'm around 29bhp down from the factory (213 at the wheel) and that's a lot in my opinion. I think the rollers there are pretty damn good and the 200sx and S15 were getting quite good figures but the Zeds were quite disappointing. I've gone down 55bhp from my last car and after today it looks like I'm changing.
  14. Now that customer service and bloody good use of social media monitoring! I'm impressed
  15. I bought two rattle cans of orange from cardidip as well to do my other-halfs wheels to practice as I fancy having a go at the car!
  16. Are they really worth that much? I've got these on my car when I bought it, could do with a refurb - I knew they were an optional extra but didn't know they were worth anything like that....
  17. SuperStu - I used something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Closed-cell-Sticky-backed-foam-thick-high-density-water-thermal-130x200x5mm-/130766470193?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1e7249fc31
  18. What spoiler do you have? I had this issue with the Nismo v1 spoiler and added 3p in each spring wrapped in insulation tap - still got the weight in and on original struts. Then I gumm'ed the spring rubbers hoping they don't damage the paint work and all is good so far. Another trick is to use sticky back foam cut in circles on the underneath where the springs land. They cushion the springs and though over time will wear, a sheet of this sticky foam will last a while to just replace when/if. Used to do this on some of my previous cars to make sure the paintwork never got damaged.
  19. Yep easy enough to wire to side lights though no where near as clever as was joely's done and not totally legal but that's how I'm doing mine (coz I'm not as clever!). Putting a cut off switch in the cockpit as well
  20. Count me in - providing I'm keeping car (which looks like I will) then I'd def be up for these! Would be looking at possible a door cover for the dash? and how about the inserts for the door handles (i.e. the pulls)....
  21. Would love a final shopping list produced when done - think this is going to be awesome
  22. I've been umming and arghing for a while over a few options: Porsche Cayman S, Evo X or super charging the 350Z - however I've now added the 370z as a possibility and hoping to test drive shortly. Ruled out all BMW options, though outside they look great, power is amazing the inside for me is soooooo boring ! I'd love to go to 996 territory but just don't think I can afford it yet
  23. Awesome Cheeky I know but do you have a wiring schema to do the diming and alike? What did you tap into in the end for the power?
