  1. Love the front bumper but the rest of it....meh Don't like the wheels as much as the standard rays No heated seats by the looks of things Rear has a tacky aftermarket look to me too
  2. Sounds good mate! Perhaps a little less deep than with the y pipe? Either way it sounds class and a million miles better than stock!
  3. The whole education system is completely flawed. The key issue is that generally schools and universities equip kids with knowledge that genuinely has almost no real life application. Even the stuff that does is taught and then memory fade takes place and you might as well not have bothered. Here are some points to consider - why are kids siloed by age as opposed to ability? Why do most universities still use "lecture" as the main form of teaching when it's been shown time and time again to provide the least effective way for people to absorb information? Why if a child copies or asks another pupil for an answer is it cheating and yet in the real world it's "collaboration"? Organisations are struggling to find good quality candidates because the majority of those "qualified" are lacking in emotional intelligence and have little ability to connect with others and that's a direct product of our education system
  4. Hey guys, I'm sure lots of you won't be a fan of the front tow hook loop that seems to be all the rage across the pond....I personally like it and was wondering how easy it it is to install one? Does it literally just screw it in or do you have to drill a hole? I've searched the370z.com but can't seem to find anything. Any help would be great! Cheers
  5. They sound good. Super loud I'm guessing?
  6. So I noticed a chip in my windscreen last weekend...grr! Anyway, I've just had it "repaired" and to be honest it looks pretty much the same (had the same experience with a Fiat Bravo a couple of years ago too). It isn't that big a deal but it annoys me! How much roughly would it cost to have the whole windscreen replaced? I've tried searching online but can't seem to find a great deal on specific costs!
  7. Welcome along mate. I'm in Portobello, where in Edinburgh are you based?
  8. Nice! How how they changed the sound with the stock exhaust?
  9. Very nice mate! Looking forward to hearing how different it sounds without the Y pipe...
  10. Definitely mate - that's with the window down too Cool - it will be interesting to hear how that sounds!
  11. Yeah the drone really isn't a bit big deal....it doesn't concern me at all. It's not like your ears will be bleeding after a motor way cruise....my girlfriend doesn't notice it so maybe it's just my young ears haha (she's 2 years older) Here's a quick clip I took today of some acceleration in 2nd. Toward the end you hear the sycnro rev kicking in when I do a completely unnecessary down change (can't help it with this system!) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154076038175548&l=4473117575572838883
  12. Yeah good shout. It's been on 3 weeks now and I think I'd already noticed a slight change....it seems to had become a little by quieter and developed more a rasp above 3krpm....I'll keep you guys posted
  13. Definitely not a loud humming - I've been in folks cars with horribly droany exhausts and I know what you mean....nothing like that though. I'm based in Edinburgh mate so if your ever up here and want a listen you're more than welcome!
  14. I thought that's what you guys would like...
  15. Hmmm....good question. I drove 60 miles home to my parent's in it and to be honest it didn't bug me...possibly because I had music playing throughout the journey. The drone is only really noticeable under load...it's fairly faint and you'd probably filter it out after a while
  16. 370 was yesterday by Morrison's, Granton and the 350 was today by the omni centre
  17. Thanks guys! 370AD you'll definitely love it
  18. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154072225135548&l=6559990459593945515 Does this work?
  19. <p>Hey guys, so I'd been hunting for a new cat back system for my 370 for a month or so and had considered various options. However, I discovered that Cougar Store were working with Cobra to create a system for the 370. Mitz kindly sent me a video from the donor car and I new it was the system I was looking for. Anyway, Mitz kindly sorted me out with a nice discount for being one of the first to buy the system so I was keen to put some of my thoughts and pictures up on the forum. Looks: I went for the rolled tips. As soon as I arrived at the garage after the fitting I noticed how huge the tail pipes looked compared to the stock exhaust. I honestly couldn't stop grinning - it looks awesome. The rolled tips sit pretty much perfectly with the diffuser - no overhang like a lot of after market systems seem to have. Fitment: I got my usual mechanics to carry the work out., along with a P1 service and side light swap. He told me the fitting was fairly easy, however, he did have to bend the pipes out slightly from how they came. However, he did remark upon the quality of the exhaust saying "you can tell it's a very good quality exhaust just from looking at it". Sound: When I started the car up for the first time the stupid grin was back on my face. It starts up with a really nice growl and when revved past 3k RPM has a lovely rasp. It's not super loud (thank goodness!), although on start up certainly turns a few heads. All in all the sound is just what I wanted. Down changes - bloody hell it sounds amazing with the synchro rev....I used a ridiculous amount of petrol the first few days after having it fitted from all of the down changes I'd been doing just to hear it! The one down side is that between 2500-3000rpm there is some drone. It's far from awful but certainly noticeable when cruising. Overall: I'm so glad I went ahead with the system. Every time I used to start the car up with the stock exhaust I used to just think "bloody hell it sounds like a hairdryer!". Now every time I start it up I either do it with the door open or the window down.

  20. Looked awesome. Had a funny moment that took me back to my days lusting over 370zs....for a split second I kind of forgot I owned one....
  21. Nice Merc, the new models look superb
