  1. Wasn't at night was it? A beep and a flash of the lights signifies an interest in more than just your car in certain situations......
  2. Hello and . Loving the gear knob, even though I hate spiders.
  3. Hello and Mark. There are few traders on here that will do you a good deal on a new exhaust. I'm sure others will tell you to avoid Japspeed as the quality is notoriously bad. Also most of the 'cheaper ones on eBay are basically copies of Japspeed. You'll get what you pay for.
  4. Hello and Matt. There are a few members in and around Redditch. Get yourself along to Beckett's on the 30th to meet some of us: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/68580-west-mids-breakfast-meet-eat-saturday-30th-march/ Ian
  5. Hello and
  6. They must be seasonal! Nothing for months then effectively 3 people all want them at the same time
  7. That's a bit freaky Smudge. I only just PM'd Ian about his 10mm spacers today too! I need some. We could go halves on a set of 20mm's.....
  8. Ooooo, this one really is intriguing. Be interesting to see what is uncovered and what Will finds out when viewing.

    Wheels! Help!

    Stick an ad in the wanted section. I'm sure someone will have a spare wheel knocking around with a legal tyre on it. The standard 18 inch GT (non Rays) often pop up on eBay for not much money - you could always relist it once you've finished to get some cash back too. Wouldn't you need one front and one rear though, even if doing them one at a time?
  10. Hi Rajzed, I know Wasso no longer has the bushes for sale I'm afraid as I asked him th,e exact same question recently!
  11. Love this line in their other listing for a BMW 318; very PC. "Bad points: due to lady owners there are few scratches on the bodywork"
  12. Don't think much of your vinyl wrapping skills Keyser. I can see a crease or two there mate Much prefer the black 'mouth'. Looks great Bob
  13. F4ABP, you need to straigten that rear plate up mate!
  14. I sold my last car (Audi TT) and last motorbike (Ducati 748) on eBay as a classified ad. Think it was £19.99 for a 28 day listing, which ain't bad for a globally known site with a very high number of users/visitors. Put a good, honest description, plenty of photos and set a realistic price, with a 'best offer' option and both car and bike sold within a week. I had an offer of a deposit on one after 3 days! As said above, just ignore the idiots. You can set an automatic decline on any offers made below a certain value, so you won't have to bother with those anyway.
  15. Hey it's a GM and I'm after some skirts (aren't we all).
  16. Sorry to see you're thinking of selling Tom. I've watched your car evolve with interest. If you did decide to remove a few bit n' pieces, I'd be very interested in your skirts Best of luck with whichever route you take mate.
  17. It's worth giving plastidipUK a call. I was looking everywhere for some gunmetal stuff, but no where had it. I contacted them directly to ask if they could make any suggestions and they'd literally just had a shipment. I imagine that there would be some black in that shipment too as its the most used colour. Their website said 'out of stock' but I received mine about 2 days after placing the order. £35 per can is a rip off! Go direct, give 'em a call
  18. Awful news Ben, so sorry to hear that mate. As others have said, there was nothing you could of don't to prevent it happening and you did the right thing by informing the owners. Not that its much consolation, but if the dog had passed away when you checked it, then it sounds like it was a sudden passing and it didn't suffer.
  19. I think the home made ones look much better anyway. But I would say that......
  20. I bloody forgot to bid! I never forget to bid +1 Me too! Gutted. But then again if we had remembered, it wouldn't of gone for £77
  21. Sorry if this scares anyone
  22. Firstly, I'm NOT an expert and would never claim to be. A lot of my knowledge has been gained from this forum and from people that know what they're talking about like docwra. I refer to your quote below: OK, here's what I think has happened, as, under your own admission, you know nothing about cars and performance. You asked the above question as you noticed the size of the tyres fitted to your car and were then told what the standard sized tyres were. You then purchased a set of standard sized tyres. One importand factor missing is that you don't appear to of mentioned that you're running non standard wheels, that aren't the same size as the OEM ones. I think it may even be luck that you're current wheels are 18's - otherwise you'd of had even more problems! Sorry if this comes across as being a bit blunt, it's not my intention. I just hope this helps answer why your tyres don't look quite right
  23. I think you may of caused a little confusion when you said they looked 'swollen'. This (to me) gives the impression that the tyres are too wide for the rim. But from your initial post, it did sound like they were in fact stretched and the standard OEM sized tyres that you'd bought for your wheels had been stretched (i.e. made wider than their original width by fitting them to a wheel that is wider than the original Rays. With your current set up, I'd say you have the following options if you're not happy with your wheel and tyre combo. - Buy new wider tyres that fit your current rims and maybe sell your Michelin's to recoup some dollar. - Buy (or swap) new/used wheels that fit your tyres and sell the wheels - Live with the stretched look (which some like) until the time comes to replace the tyres. (I'm assuming it's not actually unsafe, otherwise your tyre fitted and/or Mitz would of said something). The tyre fitter certainly should not of fitted them if he was concerned they were the wrong size. Regarding your pics, I/we can't see them. Easiest option for photo's is to create an account on Photobucket and copy the code into your post. Ian
