MrsNiki

I work offshore as a control room operator... Been offshore since I left school, not so great with new working rota's recently introduced, but still affords me lots of nice things in life as a trade off for working crappy shifts!!

Give it a few years and i'll be looking for something to do a bit closer to home, once I get my Masters completed!! Life's too short to stick to one career, I wanna try other things!

Me and MrNiki met online in 2009 and happily married now

Looking forward to it!

I never realised how cool a purple hamster could be!!

Could you photoshop these wheels as anthracite and also as a dark purple metallic/chrome finish please!! I wanted dark wheels initially but after seeing Johnnymono's shiny red Rays I might be swayed into taking the colourful route instead!! Thank you

I do love dark/black wheels, however after seeing the red I'm very tempted to just pick a bright metallic colour and do that!! The possibilities are endless lol... not good for my brain

Love love love the red rims on that last photo!! But anyway, thinking a high gloss/metallic black or an anthracite shade for definite, will match high gloss black side diffusers and front splitter!

Cheers for the help/pics

Has anybody painted the standard 19" Rays black? Fancy doing this but would like to see pics first/gather opinions on it.

Not really fancying aftermarket alloys as I love the Rays, it's just with my next round of mods, they'll look better black!

I'll take these if they are still available! Will PM you

Doesn't sound like my old one then... can't remember what reg went back on it when I sold it, but that doesn't sound familiar!

Followed

I'm nkx_rulez on instagram (for pictures of my zed, Porsche and drunk selfies!!)

Did anybody get a chance to see the Vulcan on its farewell tour today?

I was stuck offshore and devastated to miss it

Feeling a bit emotional about it.... I don't think I was this upset ever, even when my pet rabbit died when I was 4yrs old (and I was fairly emotional then!)

I wonder if that was my old zed... did it have black wheels? If it was it belongs to a guy who isn't on the forum....

I did make a decision.... Went for the Ark Grip, a purchase from first impressions of pics and YouTube vids, and it has not disappointed! Absolutely love the fact it roars when you want and there is no drone at all at normal cruising speeds.

I went with my heart (brave decision having never heard one lol), and it suits me perfectly 😊

The only thing to be wary of is speed bumps.... I swear I annoy more drivers going slow over them than I do with the noise.... Just got a be careful in my neck of the woods in case Ronnie Pickering is ever following me haha!

Bit late to post, but fab service from Adrian, from initial queries about different exhausts right through to sale and delivery!

The Ark Grip puts a smile on my face every time I get in the zed

Have been looking at more Torqen bits, can see some more sales coming your way soon!

So finally got my hands on the keys for the Cayman, and this is what happened:

Drove from Oxford to Gloucester on a mixture of dual carriageway, twisty roads and town driving. The clutch is bloody heavy, put my old 350z to shame (I used to think that was heavy!) The car is very noisy in the cabin due to the location of the engine, but once you get the revs up it sings, and it seems to love the higher revs. The handling is also phenomenal.... It's so responsive on corners that it blows the zed out of the water (don't ban me haha!)

The consumption seems to better than the zed, but I would imagine that's down to it being much lighter. It is fun to drive, but you do have to work hard to drive it if that makes any sense?

MrNiki is planning on retrofitting cruise control for the high miles he does on the motorway, followed by updating the stereo, and finally a milltek exhaust. He plans on keeping it for a few years, however we will have to buy a cheap shed as 2 x 2 seater cars aren't the most practical.

Would I buy one myself? No... For one reason only, it's not as much of a head turner as the zed, and I do love a good pose!!

Got a wave back today from a grey 370z near the bp garage outside camp

Also spotted a couple of 350z's on camp, namely a black 350z parked on the road by the sgts mess car park, and also a ginger which I've seen driving around a few times!

After reading the ups and downs of Porsche ownership, the other half has finally traded in his 1 series for a Cayman S... His 123d msport had both turbos on the way out (whine was unbearable... On the car!!) and at 100k mileage it was time for trading in for something fun. He is planning on paying the fee for the bearing issue and getting it fixed, I swear I do listen and he has told me the TLA for it before.... And including a clutch and flywheel change while the engine is out. It's a 2006 model with 47000 on the clock, so I said he's as well to with a dual mass flywheel etc. I'm not the most educated when it comes to cars, I seriously wing it, but here's a pic of how pretty she is:

Is anybody going in for the whole fancy dress thing on the Saturday?

Can't wait for this now! Doing the Sat and Sun and camping the Sat night (even though I live less than a mile away, all for the experience!)

Booked up for the drifting experience on the Saturday, should be entertaining!!

Look forward to meeting you all soon

Been in a 370 with the fast intentions exhaust and it did drone, was not for me in the end so went stillen

The USA forum says that too, the ARK doesn't by all accounts... My heart is set on the ARK I think

Any reason you're not considering Ark DTS?

Prefer the look of the grip

My dream car.....

Sooooo jealous, she's a beauty!! B)

Re-igniting this post for anyone who has opinions of either of the following exhausts:

ARK Grip

Fast Intentions TDX

I ultimately have my heart set on this style of exhaust, just stuck between these 2 in particular.

My car will not be lowered, so the fact that they sit lower shouldn't be an issue (I hope)

I'm not going for HFC's/decats. This is my only exhaust mod...

Any thoughts/advice?

Loudness is not a deciding factor anymore, I'm aware of dB for each.

Cheers

Nooooooo!!!!! I'm away offshore for that so will miss it
