Invest in one of these and make sure you have CCTV to catch the look on their faces if they try breaking in again! Scary though, your home is meant to have that feeling of security, not nice to know people can easily get in. Although good reason to spend the cash on extra security to make it a bit more difficult. Maybe add some proximity lights to the back as well?

Spend £75 on a used throttle controller, see if it works for you, if not sell it for about the same price and then get the up rev...

It's already been below that up here already! you get it too easy down there. Come up here and your skirt on, you might like it Soggy wet and a bit cold up norf! Still no reason to tuck a modern generally rust proof car away for 'winter' - maybe you should have bought a tractor!

Never understood winter storage, buy the car, use the car, drive the car - all those people who put it into storage last year and it never snowed, probably didn't get any colder than 5 degrees down south.

I think you have to pay an import duty on top of VAT

Britains shortest war was against Zanzibar in 1890 something, it lasted 38 minutes.

The road next to my office in London is called Carting Lane, often referred to as Farting Lane as it contains the only methane powered street lamp left in London (uses the gasses from the sewers to power it)

The turning circle of a Triumph Herald is 25 feet The turning circle of me on a football pitch is slightly more than a Triumph Herald

The turning circle of a hackney carriage is dictated by the circumference of the roundabout outside the Savoy hotel

But all the extra bits are performance enhancing, if you just want restrictors removed then you do not need all of that. The throttle controller I had before I went up-rev, certainly makes a difference in that you can adjust the sensitivity of the throttle - £60 and a 5 minute install if its the low gear issues you want sorting.

I don't hate anybody And I am very good friends with a lot of 'youths' on here, some of them younger than my own kids I, on the other hand, hate everyone not just the youths. Just to balance things out you understand, it's nothing personal. Isn't it spelt 'yoofs' ?

Milltek=£900, Berks=£300, Plenum=£120, Intake=£125 plus uprev is very much approaching £2k...

Yep cats are restrictive, but looking at the other exhaust components you have which are OEM the Y pipe usually gets swapped out. Tarmac does the very nice Stillen one I believe!

I personally didn't think it was worth two grand for 18bhp or whatever it was, i also don't think 'drivability' is worth £2k either given this is meant to be a sports car, it should 'drive' out the factory in much better shape really. However I did feel it was worth the money on the exhaust and intake for the noise and theatre they bring.

Erm thanks See here, http://www.350z-uk.c...e-from-denmark/ although you may need to pull up a comfy sofa and prepare yourself with a cup of coffee and some biscuits, now on 30 pages. Just wondered...what is the longest thread on the forum? The project thread from the VX220 forum I posted was pretty hefty at 218 pages, any challengers to that on here ?

The Y pipe I believe on the OEM exhaust is meant to not flow well - Wasso had an XYZ motordyne Y pipe and standard back box on his (sounded great) but I am sure also helped with the exhaust gas flow.

You still got the original exhaust on?

Its 'worth' it in terms of making the car drive better but don't expect to get some sort of extra kick up the backside when you drive it out the garage. It is a very expensive route if you are looking for numbers, decent exhaust, sports cats, intake, spacer will cost you easily £1000+ depending on how many components you buy new then you add on the few hundred quid for the up-rev. It could cost you nearly £2k for what people seem to report on average an uplift of about 15-20bhp. As long as you settle that cost in your head and understand its a drivability thing before you go do it all then you will be happy with the result.

+1 to the above, a fair few of my cousins have been in the army over the years. They were in during the Northern Ireland problems, something like 1000 soldiers killed in Northern Ireland over the full period of the fighting. Like Afghanistan it wasn't as if you faced an enemy up on there hill, more that so many injuries and deaths were from bombs and snipers, they rarely actually saw the enemy. The stories he told me chilled to the bone, how they get up in the morning and go outside and deal knowing you could just get shot down and not even know it, incredible courage.

I think its 12 points within 3 years...

Welcome mate, ex VX220 and 350z owner here

'good honest 350z' sounds to me like you want something as cheap as possible but won't be a dog - as Dan said above, usually £6k budget will get you a reasonable 2004 car, nothing fancy but will do the job.

Ha I remember this!

But its not about BHP its about the 'spinability'
