  1. As per title really; managed to get one for a good price but still after another for the other side. Cheers
  2. Sorry to see this mate; hope its all sorted soon with minimal outlay
  3. People like that are what puts me off doing them now. The video of him 'drifting' straight into a tyre wall sums it up really!
  4. So I joined this forum when I had my 350Z and was convinced to part with lots of money as a result... I bought my Cayman S and managed to avoid buying anything for it for months... And now Ive got a feeling this forum will now once again corrupt me 😂
  5. Just so that you don't confuse yourself, the settings you are referring to here relates to the exposure compensation; the white balance is something different, and settings for this include auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten, etc. In terms of a good lens to replace your 18-55mm 'kit' lens without spending too much money, you could do a lot worse than getting yourself a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 VC; it was one of the first upgrades I made a few years back and I really can't fault the performance of it or justify replacing, especially considering the price.

    Porsche Cayman

    So OP- did you get one?? I've had my Cayman S for 9 months now and recommend one 100%. I have a Porsche warranty on mine so if you are concerned about all the horror stories on the internet maybe thats the way to go? Also I'd have to completely disagree with the comment made about the head turn factor compared to the Zed, at least around here anyway. OP if you have any questions feel free to ask Mine: Bonus points if anyone recognises where it was taken!

    M3 Track Car

    Did you get any videos from Abington? I bet it sounds great with that carbon airbox!
  8. As per the title, has anyone done this before and, more specifically, does anyone have any advice as to what grandstand would be a good choice? We're currently swaying towards the West grandstand... Cheers
  9. Great mod, great price Pretty sure my used one went for more on eBay!
  10. To be fair this is always my fear when I'm booking time on track, so good on you for not letting it ruin your day Also, I'm surprised the engine temps get hot on track, I did Donington in 30 deg C in my old 350, only thing I ever had to watch was the brake temps Your car sounds great as well
  11. I got mine separately; see here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88016-for-sale-takeda-air-intake-for-350z-de-03-06-wheatshield/ And this is what I bought: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/accessories/green-filters-heat-shield I'm afraid I can't remember what size I purchased, but I used the measurements listed
  12. The CLB Candy Fluff is really good, doesn't need much with each use and seems to really drag a lot of crap off the car. Maybe get one litre of the stuff to try? http://www.clbcarcare.co.uk/clb-candyfluff-concentrated-snow-foam-1l-650-p.asp
  13. Cracking cars; I loved my old one. Enjoy Something I thought was well worth doing was connecting up an mp3 line in to the CD changer ports at the back of the heading, only cost about £15 if i remember correctly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aux-in-3-5MM-Car-CD-Audio-cable-adapter-For-Honda-Odyssey-Accord-Fit-Civic-S2000-/141434286125?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item20ee23f02d
  14. Stunning car it was actually going out in a friend of the family's R in exactly the same spec as yours that made me get my Cayman S; he bought it as a stepping stone to a GT3, and enjoys his R so much that he no longer feels the need to change it for the 911 alternative! I'm still really glad I went for the Cayman over it's rivals; hope you enjoy yours as much! Oh, and the residual values aren't bad either if you don't want to lose any money
  15. Just got a Bosch Silver one for my car from Eurocarparts, if you enter tweet5 into the coupon bit when you reserve and collect you get 5% off... not massive amounts, but something
  16. I like your thinking, bespoke tyre set up for each track depending whether its clockwise or vice-versa
  17. This. Although from the description given by the OP, anything could have happened.
  18. +1. Make sure you get the cleaner and the conditioner, you can also get a colour touch up kit if you have scuffs
  19. Yup, all mine were wrecked within a couple of months, and I hardly use the damn thing! I had to buy covers for the sticks to stop them breaking. I have also been through 2x R2 buttons, and had to buy replacements and fit myself to save being without controllers for weeks whilst Sony fix them.
  20. I can't comment on the Xbox, but all my mates and I got the PS4 when it was launched a year ago... and we're all really disappointed to the point where we are tempted to switch. The controllers are so delicate that they only seem to last a couple of months, and the PSN is always down or experiencing problems. I had a 360 before and wish I had never sold it; in fact we all think the same. The fact that the latest Gran Turismo was only released on the older PS3 and there are no decent driving games for the newer console as sealed my hatred of it. I'm not saying that the Xbox would be any better, but surely it can't be any worse?!

    If you are unable to put the full harnesses in for now, I would say that a CG Lock is definitely worth a try, especially given its price. I personally thought it made a massive difference compared to the standard seatbelt in terms of holding you in place, obviously nothing is going to be as good as proper harnesses though!
