  1. HEL braided lines delivered FlyBoy Velocity stack delivered. Plenum on order. Now on the hunt for some HFC and a new exhaust as the welds on my power flow are near the end of their life.
  2. Oh dear! Would be interesting to see what your choice would be in a brothel then
  3. Call Ross at Japex, he's In kings Langley, Hertfordshire. He may even be there today to help you out! 01923 260707
  4. So you're saying a 1series coupe is better looking that a r35......? Jheeze!
  5. The 1er performs better than an M3, it has far more usable torque and weighs considerably less, my one is faster than an M4 or M5. A 911 GT3 is at least 50K. I think you need to start living in the real world my friend. Anything thats 10 years newer than the Z33 design is going to be a considerable improvement, and Porsche and BMW have the reputations they do for a reason. As for Bennetts comments on spending 7K on anything, thats correct, but the point is a Cayman doesnt need modifying and a 135 sees 430hp with £1500 spent on it, its not really the same argument IMO. I think Im living in the real world, I didn't say ild have the money to go out and buy one tomorrow. - it's a goal. The 1 series isn't enough of a jump - for me. In terms of looks etc. much prefer a e92. I have to like everything about the car, only 1series I could drive would be the 1m, even then ild probably still choose the e92...
  6. I want to see my little girl grow up, so rather not get on a bike.... I done motorcross for several years and have had a few bikes on tracks. Ild have a track bike. But cars are a lot more fun!
  7. Jheeze. That's some car collection!! I bet it's gutting going from a GTR back to a zed!!
  8. Also, looking at these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Fairlady-350Z-370Z-PB-Coilovers-Suspension-Damper-Kit-/281230976883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item417aac2773 These seem to be your exact spec aswell. What are the differences between your product and theirs? They have 30 different settings, same materials etc. (P.S I'm not slating your product btw, I WANT to give you my money, I'm just trying to work out the differences)
  9. They seem to just be recoloured meisterR zeta-s coilovers?
  10. When the time comes and I've got the cash in my hand I'll know how I really feel. Just great to get everyone's opinion. I'm sure a few people have had similar thoughts. In reality I want a car that's comfortable to drive daily, looks good and I can do under 8 minute btg times. And I'm sure both a sc zed and a e92 M3 could deliver.
  11. Not at the moment nope. Therefore I'm seeing little point of selling for something not really an upgrade. And swaying more towards a supercharger... I'm looking for More power than the zed, same/better handling, looks good. But the price increase has to be worth it..
  12. Yeah, BMW 135 isn't enough of a jump. I feel the only real upgrade would be a e92 m3 or a 911 gt3.
  13. I have looked at the 135i, but like you said, they're pricey, and aren't a great looker IMO. Too bland and blend in too much. Zed looks nicer. But I agree the engine is good!
  14. This is my 3rd 350z in 4 years. I know I love the car, on track it handles well. Just would love a bit more grunt to it. Back to trailing auto trader I think then for an upgrade. The only thing that puts me off a 996 is the engine problems and cost if it goes wrong!! Plus, a standard carrera 2 isn't as much of a performance jump as originally thought! Only 300bhp... Doesn't really seem like an upgrade, more of a slightly forward side step...
  15. That is the question! I have been researching supercharging recently and would be aiming for 400bhp. I've worked out that it will probably cost around £7000 to get it to the level I want it. Now, my question is, is it worth putting the money into the 350z, or do I put the £7000 and sell the zed to buy something else? But what else?... I've looked at e46 m3 - I think it looks dated and boring. 996 911, for 12k I would be looking at some poor examples. Boxster s - meh. Would always get in it and be gutted I didn't get the 911. Same with the cayman. Lotus Elise - couldn't live with it daily. 370z - all that money for very little upgrade. Anybody got a suggestion for something that could rival a sc zed for a daily driver and several track days a year?
  16. You know when your on ebay and you hover the cursor over the buy it now button? That's where I'm at with this...
  17. I love hohe acht. I think its because if you nail it perfectly you can carry so much speed through! But make sure you tighten your bum cheeks on the exit if you go in too hot!!
  18. Yeah it was pretty busy, me and Dave went out to try and get him under the 9minute barrier, but saw 2 Clios in each other first bend, 1 biker off and an integra in the Armco!!! If there has been a closure, then as soon as it reopens everyone just goes mental and crashes. Really frustrating. 8:26 is a full lap though, so take off 30s for a btg roughly! No, I didn't have time to get them changed, so just drove on them! Just needed to brake harder! Next year will have to go when it's not a bank holiday, and do Spa aswell!!
  19. Sounds like they're worth a shot then! Cheers for the help guys.
  20. Okay. That sounds promising and is what I originally thought about the under steer. TCS will be off anyways, and they'll be track only tyres.
