:lol: True story

Spoke to the previous owner, as expected, he's a nice guy and looked after the car as per the invoices, receipts, service history etc: Here is what he said: "Hi Adrian. That is upsetting and I'm very sorry that you have been landed with such a bill. I have never seen the engine, as it's all tucked away in Porsches and I'm not a mechanic so don't have the ability to look. Is it worse than other cars of the same age? I only just put £1500 or so into it for the service etc. So you transferred the warranty over and they still won't cover any of it?" "I've always been very careful to keep the oil topped up as the guy that sold it to me said these engines use a lot of oil. He said a litre every 1000km is not unusual. Plus the flaring when you start from cold. Sounds like your guys disagree. I've always done whatever work is required and then some - when one rear shocker went I replaced both to ensure no differential in strength. When one coil pack went I replaced all of them for the same reason. It is very disappointing that the engine is like that given I've always exceeded any work required. Would the corrosion/boring lead to breakdown? If so then the warranty would cover it. Once again I'm very sorry but I genuinely did not know about these issues and wouldn't have done until pointed out, or breakdown, which is what the warranty is for." "My apologies again, I feel bad that this has happened. Persevere with the warranty people and hopefully they'll come through. It's what they're supposed to be there for at the end of the day."

Best to update my air ride suspension topic then! BBK we already have it ready for you, the Gram Light wheels too

They sell pretty well Don't worry, we're making them on order, too, so when you're ready just let me know Thanks for your kind words

That's what the garage proposed to the warranty, along with the cost. I was hoping for the walls to be a lot thicker than that, looks like sleeving is the way forward, which is bloody expensive. Adrian

Went and checked the engine this morning, as soon as I landed, cylinder 5 and 6, as well as the pistons are proper scored. Here are some photos I've taken:

:lol: Here when you need me

Come on Nic, 4 days is not that long

I'm looking into these as well, but won't be til later this year, a lot of products in the oven as we speak, baking

We need Paige on here, when is your birthday again? :lol:

PM sent

Hi, just landed about 3-4 hours ago, still catching up, sorry for the delay in getting back. I might have changed my mind, I should leave something nice in the car for when it goes to sale, the red 40th anniversary edition interior, red GT-R gear knob and the custom made steering wheel with red stitching I'll let you know in the next few days what I have decided. Adrian

370z version shipped out today. Will add you guys on the main post, when you decide to order let me know and we'll ship them out next day. They are packed and ready to be labeled shipped to you

Only when done by losers. Fact.

The 370z trays will be shipped tomorrow, they've arrived on Friday, but I'm abroad until tomorrow Expect fitted photos in the days after. The tray doesn't cover any of the exhaust, just the engine part.

Well done to her! Next time, turn the phone the other way round or Ekona will give a lot of trouble!

Sorry Luka, not able to answer this one, perhaps others can chime in. Have a look here: http://my350z.com/fo...e-rims-mmm.html Bottom of this post: http://my350z.com/fo...tml#post2487452
