  1. My nuts were pretty corroded, took my mechanic a good 30 mins to drill them out. Cybox was good, a lot louder than stock especially on a cold start. Had the annoying reverb between 3-4k RPM too which was irritating, but managed to subdue it by insulating my boot floor. After 500 miles or so it quietened down too which helped. Other than that, pretty good
  2. Cheers guys, just didn't want my boot floor to rot or anything
  3. Hi all, Recently purchased and installed some Cybox short tails (which sound awesome!). Between 3-4k rpm I've been hearing a small metallic vibration, I suspected what it was all along - the heat shield that sat above the stock backbox. I removed it tonight and it's much better. I assume it is a heat shield, here is the part I'm referring to: Do I need this now I'm running short tails? Here are the pipes as they are now, assuming it is a heat shield the pipes go nowhere near the bottom of the car so it should be OK? Thanks in advance
  4. Did I see you again on the A41 about 2pm yesterday?
  5. Yeah more than likely, I've not seen any other white 370's around Wirral so if you see one it's more than likely me! I'll keep an eye out for you
  6. That's me Silver 350 by any chance...?
  7. If your car is six years old then I would guess that equates to 54,000 mils ( ) so you should be doing everything including plugs and brake fluid Mine is due for this now Bought the P3 service pack inc plugs and diff fluid from H-Dev for £232 and will get my local trusted mechanic to due it, total cost just over £300
  8. Are the 12V AUX sockets ignition powered or perm live? I've just installed my dashcam, but tapped into the fuse box in the driver's footwell into an ignition powered fuse!
  9. As far as I know the 3 connections are phono audio (left/right) and video. For 3.5mm stereo AUX input you'll need to get a phono > 3.5mm adapter ...or just use bluetooth!
  10. Welcome, same colour as my first 350!
  11. Looking good bigfoot! I picked up my Pearl White 370 on Thursday Now just need to sort a couple of stone chips I found when washing, gah

  13. Hi all, Noticed that there's two Zeds I see regularly nearby, one is a Sunset and one Silver. They both live in the Spital area on the Wirral - do they belong to anyone on here?

    Centre section

    Hi all, Just put a deposit down on my second Zed today - as part of my checks I noticed the exhaust was blowing at the usual place at the centre section join with the back box. It's actually blowing on the back box side, so the dealer are replacing the back box section. The centre section however could also do with replacement in the near future, however I can't seem to see any online at the usual places. Does anybody know where I can get a centre section and an approximate cost? Thanks!
  17. Is this including the new key, or just reprogramming?
  18. I've just tried this mod but only got as far as removing the stereo - the 8 screws that hold the stereo into the (removed) centre console - I had 7 out but I just couldn't get the last one out - tight is an under statement! I also couldn't remove the stereo connectors without detaching it from the centre console either as I need to turn the stereo upsidedown. So I gave up and put it back together

    What RPM?

    Surely a cause of the slight judder/needle wobble would be when the aircon compressor+fan kicks in which it will do every couple of minutes?
  20. Thanks And I've heard that about the Bose......
  21. Evening all, New user/owner - just got myself a 2007 GT - only had it about 5 hours but I love it so far. The only questions I have at the minute are to do with the Bose stereo - I stuck in a random CD (created from iTunes) from my old car, but it only recognises the first 12 tracks - then it just goes back to track 1? Also tried an MP3 CD (also from iTunes) - it loads the CD then just sits on track 1 and doesn't play anything! Anybody any clues? The best soundtrack I've found so far though is the V6
