  1. Cheers for all the replies guys , looks like megs endurance is the way to go. Does it leave a matte or gloss finish?
  2. I'm just looking for opinions on the best tire gels/sprays/rubs. I'm looking to buy a decent one. I have the autoglym spray but i personally think its junk, leaves a horrible finish and has a massive throw. my friend has the Dodo juice stuff which you rub on and leave for a matte finish or buff off for a glossy finish. I'm personally leaning towards buying this as i prefer it over a spray and prefer the matte finish. but are there any other decent ones?
  3. Front spacers are on! (had to take the passenger side wheel off twice because i realized i forgot to put my spigot ring back, after i put all my tools away Dumbass!) To be completely fair you cant see much of a difference in pictures but i have way more poke up front now. Fully Washed and waxed the car properly over this past weekend so thought I'd take a few pics at a diss-used pub before winter sets in and my cars dirty 24/7. I'm emailing a company about the lip i want tonight, Hopefully i'll find the motivation to roll the arches again next week and wind the coileys down a bit more. and there are a few niggly little bits i want to sort out, driver side seat position switch doesn't work and neither does the bass speaker behind the seat!

    Ings+1 lip?

    Any more news on a considerably cheaper one? because tbh I wouldn't want to be paying any more than £200 for a fibre glass rep seeing as the urethane genuine one is £300, will fit better and probably take more of a battering.
  5. Ahh gutter would have been cool to see yours in the metal! Haha to be fair looking at the standard of some of the cars there i bet the Kia was a firm contender for an award Haha ill try but I can't promise anything
  6. cheers guys, i do use the search feature normally honestly
  7. Saw the car in the metal yesterday and it looked ace mate, exhausts look insane, i'd be tempted to get the same system but i'd only drag it across the roads . Was cool to see another Z with stance.
  8. Again Thanks for all the positive feed back guys i appreciate it. Thanks a lot man, it was hidden at the back of our stand because i shamelessly didn't clean it haha! I'm still not personally happy with my stance but its getting closer to where i want it. I saw yours too, loved it! it's sitting nice and the bumper really sets yours off! i actually took a few pics of it on my phone. Yeah i was also shocked at how few Z's were kicking about, but i can only hope and imagine its because it clashed with JAE and everybody else was there. Was a good show though No more mods yet, but Lensos have gone so a lip could be on the cards. i wrote a list of mods i plan earlier and I've decided i will probably get the NUEs polished and lacquered after the winter as it'll look better and will be no more temperamental than diamond cut. Also I'm going to eventually get a full custom exhaust made up of just two 3" slash cut slightly up angled pipes for ground clearance and I've always had a bit of a thing for subtle Boso styled exhausts. well that's the plan for now anyway. Currently contemplating weather to tint my head lights black too hmm. Front spacers turned up Friday but now I'm back at work i didn't get time to fit them, i was at Castle Coombe yesterday and today has been too cold I'm definitely giving the arches a better roll at the same time, the rear fitment is really bugging me and it's still rubbing pretty bad with weight in the car.
  9. This might seem like a bit of a stupid question but are there any harness bars available that dont require you to cut the interior about too much? i haven't looked too deeply into it yet but thought i'd start here.
  10. Thanks for the positive feedback again guys, glad people are liking it Thanks alot! Ahh yeah i remember! Was good to meet you mate! Was a good day No new modifying news at the moment Mainly down to lack of money...I've been out of work since the start of August! Luckily my Lensos have provisionally and should be getting picked up this Saturday! Which means i have a bit of spare cash to chuck at the car. I'll probably buy an INGS+1 lip or maybe camber arms, unsure yet. Last lot of spacers have been sent back and new ones are on the way as of today, but unfortunately wont be here until next week so my car will still have mega arch gap up front for my last show this season. I will be a Forge action day at Coombe, and I'm hoping to get to Players with Static Clique Sunday, but again due to lack of money this one is looking unlikely. But i had an awesome day with them at TRAX , was really good to chill with some like minded people and talk stance for a day. So here's a couple of shots of my car from the day. Credit to Ben Albone photography for the second pic! https://www.facebook.com/BenAlbonePhotography Unless i have work soon i don't think there is going to be any drastic changes in the near future. I'll probably go for a more aggressive arch roll on the rear while fitting the spacers to the front but other than that and the possibility of a lip i cant progress which is frustrating.
  11. Okay these have been relisted but I'd take £450 or close offers I really need these gone!
  12. Those rays look so good in white! This is looking real clean now
  13. I need to convince somebody to do this for me! Loving the one of the teg!
  14. wheels are on eGay ! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181207444751
  15. Spacers turned up but were listed wrong and were mazda hub fitment, so they're going straight back and then I'll have to wait for new ones to turn up...I hate waiting! I'm more annoyed that I had to get a jack under my car pointlessly, it now involves driving up onto a plank of wood and then up higher onto a concrete block! On a better note I won a status error/AMDetails competition on Facebook so got a shed load of free stuff So I thought of try detail the car today while it was in shade, within 10 minutes the shade disappeared and even after detailing it looks worse than when I started. Gutted! Using the snow foam lance was fun though! I'm 6ft 2 and look like a giant compared to my car now it's dropped...and yes I am wearing a bobble hat in the sun. I'm at Trax next weekend so I'm desperately hoping my spacers get sorted before then! Will also sort out a better photoshoot when the spacers are on and my car is detailed properly! If I'm still off work next week I'm taking it to a professional detailer to see what he can do about my swirls.
  16. Price drop bump! £550 for the wheels, will consider offers under £100 for the dampers, now with stock springs. With the wheels at this price - £280 worth of tyres you technically getting the wheels for £270!
  17. I have a pair of ultralight ones that are 20mm but they're missing the nuts that fasten them to the wheel. Pm me if your interested I dont want alot for them posted. The nuts I was given with them are too deep You'll just have to find some nuts that fit flush!
  18. Whole cars = crap Wheels = a whole new level of awesome! And you wash it the same way you'd normally wash your car!
  19. Little update, been driving it everywhere the last 2 days to see how useable it is, and I'm honestly shocked, it's still nice to drive, it did bottom out doing about 50mph in one place but I blame the crappy Wiltshire/ Gloucestershire country roads, and the cobbled speed bump exiting my local tesco made me and my mate cringe a bit going over, but luckily it's not hitting anything important. Still handles well and feels more planted in straight lines. I stiffened up the dampers on the rear another click today so they're now maxed out, and I gave the front another 3 clicks just to be safe. Overall I'm loving it! I swapped my old eibach springs with my dad in exchange for him ordering my 25mm spacers, so they've been ordered tonight, I also have a really vital mod on its way...black dice valve caps! Also ordered a snow foam lance and foam solution last night, lets face it everything's better snow foamed, so ill get some foamy pictures up when I play with that. Still waiting on my wheels to sell so I can buy my INGS+1 lip so somebody buy my bloody lensos! Other than that I've started researching into single turbo set ups, I can't afford to have two cars, I love the Z to bits and I'm missing boost! So turboing the Z seems like a good option, but I change my mind more often than most people change underwear, so we'll see
