335i all day long, the M3s have problems with boot floors tearing, headgaskets and other niggles, they are very expensice to buy parts for. Plus everyman and his dog has one, the E92 with a nice spec will be much nicer to live with, better built, drives nicer and more comfortable and alot quicker after a remap whilst being affordable to keep going

They'll both fit perfectly as there both quality items, performance will probably be the same if the stillen goes from 2.5" to 3" collector like the cobra does, tbh I'd have the cobra even if I didn't have the rest of the system as it won't vibrate like the stillen could potentially do and you'll save 50 quid in the process, that's my opinion anyway. If you check my journal I've just put pictures of my new cobra y pipe up so you can see the differences between the two

Go for a cobra y pipe, excellent quality at a very competitive price. So much so I received mine last week to match the rest of the cobra system lol. The stillen has no flexis so can't take up vibration albeit the flexi will never fail as it doesn't have one but your not buying a japspeed so I wouldn't worry about the flexi failing from another brand.

Cant wait til friday Keyser im like a school kid at christmas Cheers CS brakes will be ordered soon aswell, can you get HEL brake lines in gold? want to match the brembos Jordan i want to be able to think still Wizard i can do fella, i have a cobra resonated system at the moment so it will be complete after the Y pipe and decats are fitted so i will let you know, although it will be a fair bit louder than stock

Got another update for the beasts journal, decided to start stockpiling some parts ready for some work being done on the Z. After the rolling road day at Abbey where i found out i have a great engine and base to start with i decided to order a few bits needed for some ever increasing smiles Im booked in with Abbey this friday and saturday for the stage 1 work for Japanese performance magazine which is Plenum spacer Velocity stack Performance air filter Uprev then on the saturday il be having the following done Cobra Y pipe Horsham silenced de cats Samco intake hose Uprev'd again from friday Also booked my Nurburgring and Stelvio pass trip for June, so really looking forward to that aswell Here's some photos of the parts waiting to be fitted, cant wait! Cobra Y pipe and H Dev silenced de cats Samco intake hose Pictures dont seem to be working so il correct that tonight when im home

I'm going to leave them plain, looks a lot nicer Will be easy to fit, first of all take the old ones off, then clean the paint underneath and around with either shampoo or an apc, make sure it's completely dry, then depending on how your going to attach them it's probably best to let them bond into position by leaving some tape over them for a few hours. Once done stand back and admire!

For a set all round on mine fitted is 650 quid Pete, tyres come to 317 on fronts and 307 rear from camskill and then fitted for a drink at work, just need an alignment then but want a proper setup so might go abbey. Vat can suck my nuts lol

I have a set waiting to go on, you have to take off your old ones and either stick or bond these on. I'm using a really good bonding tape from work called butyl tape. Sticks like @*!# to a blanket The quality of the sills is excellent, beautiful finish. I got mine directly from ep racing

Well the rears are a pound difference between the two and the fronts only 18 pound difference, il happily pay out knowing I have the very best i can get. I know the PSS have some if not the best reviews so I am swaying more towards those at the moment The vreds look really cool though! Lol

Morning all Need some views and experience on these two tyres as ive booked a Nurburgring and Stelvio Pass trip in June so will need 4 new tyres by then Basically they come in at pretty much the same price so no issue there but i want to know if anyone has experience with either or even both would be great, As i know the Michelin PSS are meant to be the best performance tyre out there but the Vreds have excellent reviews as well Also would it be worth going from a 225/45/18 to a 235/40 or 235/45 for a bit more contact with the road and from 245/45/18 to a 255/45 or 255/40 at the rear Any ideas please guys Cheers Arran

If its made by the same k sport that make big brake kits wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, cheap Chinese manufacturing

Looking forward to what you will have in store mark and the team. See you early in the new year for my cars transformation

Well it's Boxing Day morning and I feel 100% fine, didn't even feel much either tbh drinking sucks lol

So far today I've had 12,15 and 18 year glenfidditch whisky, jd and coke, red wine and right now a magners Not bad going for someone who rarely drinks lol

Enjoy the break mark and team. Looking forward to seeing you work the magic on mine! Happy Christmas

I work for BMW, the E9x M3 is a great machine in any of its platforms. Personally I like the E90 saloon best but wish it would have the carbon roof off the E92 coupe. Excellent cars when working although ten a penny but repair bills can make you cry. Id be after one with warranty if I was in the market for one, as with all M cars. Oh and if you were to drive it hard first thing to do is a big brake kit, it's a heavy car with brakes that aren't quite up to standard when being used hard

Cmw cars in wallington? Orange droptop by chance?

I run mine everyday it isn't really that bad I find, 20-23 round town so £50 lasts me about 8 days doing about 15-25 miles a day

Clearly the bloke knows nothing about 350z's, they are a very composed balanced drive with plenty of get up and go. Looks great, has a great interior setup and quality. Then there's the noise. A Westfield is fine if you want flies in your face but if you want a nice GT car then the 350 can't be beaten especially £ for £ Drive a nice example and you'll soon release he's talking @*!#

Would love to! Although It would never stop there lol

Lol I'm having a remap, 06 airbox conversion with performance filter, silenced decats, plenum spacer at abbey in the next few weeks for the magazine feature so just trying to get every little bit sorted and upgraded so it can all get done in one hit. Not sure what else I can add aswell or wether that's it

Evening all Seeing as I've just won the black samco intake tube on here as I was bored on eBay whilst eating dinner as you do. I know it will look better but do you reckon there's actually any performance benefit? I know we'd be talking minute amounts, maybe along the lines of less heat soak etc but I just wondered that's all Or shall I not even put it on? Lol

I win! If you need my address if it doesn't show on eBay then pm me fella

From what im lead to believe if it doesnt increase performance then it shouldnt be chargeable, and seeing as the 350 needs an Uprev remap to see any gains i cant see why they should charge. Thats what i read somewhere if its just a like for like replacement that isnt OEM becuase its to expensive and uneconomically viable then it shouldnt make a difference
