  1. I have invidia with oem cats, tbh i would want it a bit louder. At 4k+ revs it doesnt turn into a beast, and is loud, but its very subtle and maybe a bit too quiet for the lower revs. maybe decat or hfc would change this, but it is a quiet exhaust til 4k revs, by quiet, i mean like oem.

    +1 I love my Invidia :teeth:
  2. Great job, not long swapped the roof out on my mates S2000, that was a pig of a job

     

    Can't say it was that bad really once one of the terrible twins had worked out that there was a bolt at the back we had missed. :blush:

     

    The new one went in in less than 5 minutes and was bolted up within 15 :thumbs:

     

    Of course it does help having a complete replacement unit with motors and loom its just a 1 for 1 swap.

    We did the same, sourced a complete roof assembly, but access behind the seats to get the plastics out is a complete mare on an S2000, you need arms like Mr Tickle :lol:
  3. Thought I’d give my engine bay a bit of a tart up in my usual manner :)

     

    So I popped the bonnet to find a nice, clean & stock engine bay,

    With the car just clicked over 10k & still in manufacturers warranty I thought I would make a few changes of my own. So I started by taking lots of bits off.

    I then got a few aftermarket parts & painted them

    I then got myself a little Rotrex C38 & made a filter that hopefully be won’t get sucked in & blown out my exhaust

    Added some stainless steel fine mesh as extra filter support

    Then I proceeded to install the parts I painted earlier

    Installed the Rotrex & a few brackets

    Put the drive belt on

    370zSCBuild17.jpg

     

    Also installed some 1000cc injectors, GTR spark plugs, 340lph fuel pump & Fuel return system with rising fuel pressure regulator. Then put it all back together

    & then took a little trip to see Mark @ Abbey motorsport to Tune the car for the little mods that I have put on the car :)

     

    Then I drove home looking like this

    I then changed my wipers for a set of these :)

    2014-02-19_21-49-58-1.jpeg

    If you would like a step by step guide on how to do the wipers, the ‘search’ button is your friend. Not sure how to change bulbs so may take a trip to the dealers :blush:

     

     

     

    Roll on Wales :drive1

    I hope you've declared the mods to your insurance, i'm sure those wiper blades count as non non standard parts :lol: very cool B)

  4. ↑ drugs mate.......selling lots of drugs :lol:

    :teeth:

     

    Take it Ricey that was aimed at nowhereboy's post and not Robs. :lol:

     

    Some of these young drivers nowadays don't even realize how good they've got it ~ electric windows, ABS braking, CD/DVD players, 100bhp+ 1litre cars etc. :surrender::scare:

    Back in my day we had to wind the windows down and if you wanted to go faster you went down hill. :wheelchair::lol:

     

    I`ve still got a 7 slider graphic equaliser in the garage....those were the days

    Hell i remember having one of those, i'm getting old :wheelchair:
  5. Nice find, odd sizes though. 18" front and 19" rear? might upset the TC?

     

    Wheel size makes no difference to traction control, so long as your tyre profiles are in range.

     

    Do us a favour? Weigh them when they arrive, I'd be interested to see how they compare to UK Rays :)

     

    I noticed these as there was a guy inquiring about them in the wanted section, doing a little digging though and even the 18's are heavier than rays, just over 21lbs.

    I'd just never seen a Zed with different diameter front/rear wheels before? i know it's normal on Honda NSX's and Lambo's etc

     

    Yeah I thought it was a bit weird, but its "Track 18/19" v.2" on here, http://www.350z-tech..._18.2F19.22_v.2 looks like its not like hes fobbing me off with a franken-set :D

    Cool, you got yourself a real bargain and will have a pretty unique setup bud B)
  6. It needs to match my carbon fibre wing mirrors and rear spoiler.

    I have carbon B pillar covers, carbon dipped door handles and carbon lower bumper cover and wanted a carbon diffuser to match but couldn't get one. The black JDM one from Tarmac looks good anyway :)

  8. Ridiculous. Despite the price reduction its a stupid amount to spend on something that's damaged.

     

    Funny thing is, if its damaged in transit they have probably made a claim and got the majority of the money back.

    +1 they would definitely have got paid on that, plus £300 for something that's going to be so obviously damaged once fitted? no wonder it's been for sale for ages
