How are you still alive?

 

Very pleased you are though

It's definitely not from a lack of trying 

I've had a few attempts, pretty sure Kim must've tried too. Somehow, he's still going...

When do you start taking bookings for alloy refurbs? 

How pink do you like your wheels?  

Work faster! We need more entertainment

you can’t blame Kim it’s your fault, where were you when sane rational advice was needed

Sane and rational advice  of course. I was gonna suggest kevlar but that's much better, esp when it's from the little scrap pile!

Liking the new plate 

Definitely not going for a full sheet undertray.... 2 mins later... armour plating. WTF did Kim put in your coffee 

Bet that suspension alignment is straighter than out the factory 

With a couple more winch attachments and a VR headset, you could do virtual buggy rides right there in your garage

Haven't sent you any abuse for a while but this build is so good I'd almost feel bad. 

Didn't realise it would take 6 hours to sandblast   and that attention to detail with the lip around the bracket, knowing no one will ever realise the amount of effort 

Surprised it's not stainless steel, given how everything else is rated to industrial usage levels 

CHOP IT UP!  

Inner frame looks nice and symmetrical, can see those extra rails coming in handy...

Sorry Andy gonna drop out unfortunately, I'm having an isolation party (all to myself!).

Sad news, the car has now been sold.

Good news, the car's in great hands and should remain within the 350/370z community 

Mods - do you mind closing this thread?

Price lowered

Time to sell my dream car (too much NFS Underground in my early days )

Most of you guys will know this car, been owned by forum members for most of its life. Previously owned by Keyser (Zed shed) and DarrenB.

Reason for sale is that I don't use it (only 800 miles since last year). It's a beautiful object to have on my drive! Looking to put the money towards covering life + exam expenses whilst I do some further studying. 

Priced to sell. £16,500

Car will be supplied with 12 months MOT

GTM stage 1.5 supercharger kit with upgraded 3" intakes. Originally imported as a kit from the USA. Brand new Rotrex supercharger replaced <1000 miles ago, along with the oil cooler/ oil pipes, clips and majority of bolts replaced with stainless to prevent future corrosion and all torqued to GTM specs.

Will require a respray in the next few years, hence being under-priced. The wrap was applied approx 6 years ago and is starting to show in places. Gives the buyer an opportunity to take a well-sorted zed and have it in their favourite colour.

along Hicksi - you'll never get 4 quads in the back of a Zed

Not with that attitude. Pass me the angle grinder 

Oh hey spotted you leaving the traffic to join in! Had taken the car out to run in the new supercharger.

Put the V8 in Beb's car! Simples....

 

I bought the car so I could be the voice of reason and stop him putting the V8 in there 

Love the speaker box, no 90 degree internals or extra bracing  

That port looks pretty long, how low have you tuned it?

Tempted by the springs , might make getting around a little easier! Are you nearby?

So here you go mate to put it in perspective for you I made a 1:1 scale model of your garage and did a comparison photo just for you

 

 

 

  This made my day. Although bear in mind that I recently woke up and it's the start of my day, so anything would achieve that honour by default.

Friend of mine picked up a 1.4 Civic as a first car, £1300/ year insurance. 

1.7 would've cost £1600

Just for a laugh, got a quote on my import 350z... £1350

You guys are unbelievable! Looking forward to having a go in this.

Definitely an upgrade for when we build v2 of this kart

Lovely sunny day for a meet, great to see you all. Big thanks to Andy for organising and Keyser for helping sort out my Z in time

Even met another grey 350z  with a BGW and black plates (fresh import?) on the drive back
