Im fitting my berk high flow cats this week.

Should i re-set the ecu when im finished or is there no need?

Didnt even know this was possible but seems adviseable according to the very good fitting guide on youtube.

What harm can it do?

Ive looked into how to do it but surely its easier to take the battery off overnight.

Any advice please.

Thats a very good beal on the bmw.

My 1996 318is coupe was the best car ive ever owned.

They look good,go well and arent silly on fuel.Best of everything in my opinion.

Good colour combination with the wheels you have as well.

Looks good,Prestige are known for their quality cars.

They're on my doorstep but didnt have any zeds when i was looking i hope youre pleased with it.

Do you live near Selby?

PM sent.

Very grateful.Thanks.

looks good to me certainly worth a serious look at that money.

Those modifications arent cheap,if you got cheap car at £5000 with more miles you'd still spend £3000 on the bits!

You know what youre loking for with these cars if its crap walk away.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

send a money request to adam_sasha@yahoo.co.uk ill put my address on there with a few quid.

Thanks.

Got my berks and ams pulleys coming from him.I never thought to ask.

Ill send him an email .

Thanks.Hows the 370 going?They look alot shorter and wider than the 350.Different to drive?

Ordered berks and ams pulleys from tarmac.Should be here in next couple of weeks.

Fitted jwt pop charger last week (Love it)

Back to rs for changes to uprev.

Possible wheel re furb as the polished lip is now pitted from one trip out over christmas.

Front bumper re sprayed.

Get it out of hibernation and into use for march.(Im already missing it after only 3 weeks).

Thanks for the reply but still alot of money for a badge especially with shipping.

Hoped someone had de badged theirs and had one lying round.

If it not sorted in the next few weeks ill ask my boss to get one in the usa when he goes again in 3 weeks.

I caught the Z on the 350z boot badge with my chamois and have been to the dealer this morning for a replacement.

As expected they only do the full 350z badge.The best bit is the price......£48.79+vat!!!!

He wasnt even laughing when he said it.

Can anyone help me out, I only need the 'Z' part I can paypal money if someones got one spare.

Thanks guys.

Having sat down and thought about things sensibly it might be wise to have it fitted and set up by won then book it in with rs to have it checked on the rollers.I already have the uprev licence so its only mapping costs.

wasso, does the nitrous come in with a bit of a kick as i think thats what im missing from my cosworth.

How long does the bottle last?

Just had a quote from WON in doncaster for fitting me a system with progressive control.

My concern is that i thought i may need to retard my ignition,But they seem happy to fit the kit up to 75 bhp without the need for it.

They said i will be ok if my car has automatic timing adjustment and my ignition hasnt been advanced when i had the uprev done.

Not sure wether or not it was advanced at rs but does the car have automatic adjustment anyway?

Anyone else fitted a nitrous kit and come across these issues?

im currently at 294 bhp and would like at least 350.

Thanks guys.

Got a bit sucked in with the lovely new double din head units available.

After a day of looking around i got sat down and started thinking about why i should change.

My standard bose system has no faults and sounds good.

What are the benefits of a change and what else do i need for dab aside from the head unit?

I have had my 2004 zed for a couple of months now and am thinking about what to do next with it.

I have a plenum spacer,hks panel,milltek and uprev from rs tuning.

Im thinking about high flow cats and lightweight pulleys,but is this as far as i can go?

These mods sould push me past 300hp as im at 294hp already after the uprev.

While im asking,does anyone know how many hp the most powerfull n/a cars have?

Anyone have a similar setup to me but with hfc and or lightweight pulleys?

Funny you should say that,its lasted 7 years but today i cought it on a bit of rough ground and had to repair it!

It is stone chipped and ive had a quote for re spraying last week.

Its gonna be about £200 plus £150 if i want it clear wrapped.

Factory fitted nismo kit.

Springs came from horsham developments thursday.

Took about 2 hours to fit all 4,quite easy really ,but glad i watched the how to video on youtube it was very helpfull.

Cant tell too much from the photos but measured from a level floor the fronts have dropped 12mm and the rears 15mm.

Went for geometry set-up yeterday at york.They did a good job and was interesting to watch.

Its your money .If its what you want go for it.

Make sure you get all the documents for repairs and give the car a good test drive.

Ask what it was cat d for,Should be quite minor and be specific when checking those areas of the car.

Good luck.

Hope its ok.

I might make her get out for a cig but it still makes my car stink when she gets back in!

How is it that i can use the car every day with my work boots and overalls on,but the passenger side mat window and seat that are only used at weekends get twice as dirty!!! if i made that kind of mess in the house she'd go mental.

No respect.

The wheels are linea corse from america but im not sure on the model number.

Im only getting springs at the minute,was going for 30mm eibachs but i dont want to get into arch rolling or geometry issues,the teins are only a small drop so should be ok.

Dont have a fancy snow foam lance like the rest of you,so i went for a super soapy fairy liquid wash first to remove the old polish etc that was on my paint.

Then i clayed the whole car (Not bad at all for 7 years old)

Meguiars paint condioner

Meguiars polish

meguiars carnuaba wax to finish

meguiars metal polysh on wheel rims and milltek

meguiars endurance tyre gel

Took about 4 hours with an assistant and came out pretty well

I already have a meguiars water magnet for drying but the terry towel that came with the detailing spray for the clay is far superior,Im going to invest in some more of these.

I also bought some detailing spray.I dont like the idea of this stuff but never tried it so ill give it a go.

All in all a day well spent i think.Im certainly happier knowing its been done properly.
