Suits

Me in my S2000 with the cameraman, my mates DC5 and my other mate in his 135i. On the way to Germany on year, 2011 I think.

It's a great car but I'd rather have a 911 .

Yeah, even when I found one it had to be right car, GT, manual etc...... A chance encounter on here landed me my car .

Don't be sorry, you can think what you like, I just think it's evolved into something that it doesn't have to be nowadays, Tourist days, should be that, not race test days. In my opinion.

Hmm, I had a Fujitsubo that did the same on the ARB. So annoying. I fixed it with powerflex hangers and a million cable ties . To be clear though, the Stillen clears everythig fine on OEM CAT's though right, no knocking ??

What's the issue with the Stillen set up then that causes vibrations ???

I think the whole idea about remote start is that you can start the car from your widnow in the winter months, with the premise that when you get into it it will be warm and ready to go.

I'll have a net and key fob leather holder thing.

Thanks man, thats very helpful. I too prefer the more subtle side of things when it comes to systems, well, I have done in the past anyway.

Yeah, these systems look great and I really love the sound on the wind-down they give out, they just let me down on the sound under load. I bet when it's really hot it barks and snaps like mad !!!

That's very good. Those above cost about £200 IIRC.

OK, well if I come up with an idea of how much I want to pay, I'll PM you. Other than that I'll wait until you're in a position to sell thanks .

Oh cool, you went for it did you ? It does sound good under load here. I'd be very interested in this when you're ready to part. Keep me informed please .

Yeah, I make you right. I had a full Mugen system on my S2000. Good shout on the Berks.

I would just like some information on what aftermarket exhaust you bought for your car, why and how you're finding it ? I've read the US Forums but they live by other rules over there so I'm keen for opinion this side of the Atlantic . I'm not sure on the Fast Intentions one but know it's a popular choice so I'd like to know more. I also like the ARK and the HKS, so if anyone has any info on these that would be good. Just what you've got and why really..... :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:

Those wheels look like Spoon SW388's just with a different lip, other than that the Rota Slipstream copies. Looks good. For me TE57's or Rota Drifts .

MOAR pics please..........

Midnight Purple one. Although the wheels and stance of this one is all wrong IMO. http://www.canibeat.com/2012/10/my-fair-lady-elias-raygozas-nissan-300zx/

Very smart .

Good to hear man, these look fantastic super clean and have aged very well for the styling. I'm very jealous of this car. What are parts like to get over here, just like OEM perishables and stuff ?

I had a set of my OEM's re-done on my S2000. They were my old track wheels that I had done 'Spoon Blue' but I liked the look of them so much I used them fro my dailys and get them refurbished again. After about 6 months they did start to flake in very small areas, whether this was down to poor prep, further high track temps or just the fact it was a poor job I'm not sure. If I was to get 370Z Ray's done, I'd probably go powdercoat route. The refurb was a good finish though.

It's an old car, so you may have seen it, and might not be to your styling, but this is a pretty damn sweet example IMO. http://www.canibeat.com/2012/07/keepin-it-simple-thai-nguyens-twin-turbo-300zx/

Good stuff. The red in that bottom shot looks good I have to say, not as smart as black IMO though.

If I was in a situation that offered me a Nismo 370Z over mine, with the thoughts of 'I could do this ?!'...... I'd find it hard to ignore.

I did an airfield day today with my mate at North Weald, it was good. First time I'd really used the car in anger as planned and the first chance to have the computer aids off and see how it really is. OFF Traction is nuts with it off, it just spins and spins but is really satisfying playing with the launches and controlling it so it fly's. This also makes drifting very easy. The stability programme is kind of pointless anyway, as you'd try to drive it this hard on the normal roads so I can't really describe how it is without it, it's just easier to understeer and oversteer it, but the traction control is an obvious one. The morning was raining - bad, but it gave a chance to mess about a bit and play around on the little circuit generally sliding and drifting about. The afternoon dried out and gave good levels of grip so we then switched our targets to improving our times on timed areas. As well as the infield circuit thing they coned out there was a high speed bent and a tight section with a long sprint in the middle, for our cars this was hard, it was meant for Catheram's, Elise's and the such. We pretty much just stayed on the circuit and tried to get our times down, which most of the time shaved some time off. Here you can sort of see where area and circuits from whatever the hell my sat nav was doing, it seemed to plot stuff for some reason. The car overall was very good, I'm very pleased with it, it grips surprisingly well, when you think you've got no chance it just holds and holds, give it a boot of go and it will slide mind, but generally it's very encouraging. The brakes were also good, again surprisingly so, I had previously complained that they faded and were soft, but driven that bit harder like you can when you do things like this I didn't get a sniff of anything too bad. Understeer - A fair bit of this, especially out of bends, but again only if I pushed hard, if I pushed harder the back would step and out and counter it, this in the wet was great fun. A new Geo setting should probably dial a good bit of that out though. Oversteer - Yeah, loads of it really, whenever you wanted it, so much so it became more fun to try and combat it with the throttle more and get around quick than just sliding around over and over. We got a couple of vids with the GoPro, we didn't bother in the morning though as it was raining. After lunch it dried out and we started filming our timed runs. I only got two vids as one didn't record and we just got fed up of swapping them over and fixing the camera, they're all pretty much the same anyway I suppose. Warning - Wind noise is crazy.
