  1. Let's do a locals Farnham meet Proof of residence will be required, or you'll be chased away with pitchforks
  2. I can only echo what Ian has said... Budget ? Use of car (track/drift/motorway/b-road) ? Budget ? er Budget ? £2k + = £6k + http://www.exe-tc.co.uk
  3. BTW, anyone on the fence about this - it's a worthy purchase, easy to install (the impact wrench speeds it up!) and you can instantly feel a difference.
  4. Yep, I would go for a carbon fibre one or wrap it. Definitely not metal but of course, this is tiny amount really. Just curious as to what they do.
  5. Couple of other blogs as well if you're interested: http://www.motoiq.com/ http://www.zcarblog.com/
  6. http://engineering.m...absrvd9cbnqnfl5 Interested to see what they do that hasn't already been done. Something to read at the very least
  7. I have the same feeling of 'fk off' when I safely overtake someone, and they flash me.. It's my decision, right or wrong and I'm responsible for my actions, I don't care for the other drivers opinion if it was ok or not - if you see what I mean.
  8. As much as she is a total and utter frigging plank for doing this (and yep, I hope she is bummed by the cops for this), I can't stand people (of zero authority, especially cyclists ) telling me/anyone what's right or wrong, this kind of stuff is encouraging the public to do police work. Essentially giving 'busy bodies' even more ammo.
  9. I'll get some pic's up on the weekend, I'm hopeful I can get it looking a bit tidier than it currently is (lots of gaffer tape ). Any pics PPod ?
  10. Cheers for doing the GB I had bought some tiger seal and had some left over 3M VHB tape, I did manage to make a bit of a mess of it (I didn't have a gun for the sealant - and forgot Screwfix is about 20 meters away ) but it seems like it's stuck on there now. I just need to get a couple of gaps stuck together. It's a fantastic looking lip, subtle but just adds a touch of sharpness at the front.
  11. Camskill ?
  12. Got my ones from here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93635-bilstein-offer-for-b6-and-b8/ There was a wait but all good in the end. The US definitely don't have any kicking around, I've seen posts on the US site trying to source stuff.
  13. Stick to H-dev or TGM. (dont rate eurospec any more sadly)
  14. Ah if it was DE I would have had this straight away
  15. Yeah I'm hopeful that it's not ridiculously chunky but I've no idea what I like tbh (never tried any different steering wheels before) So thought sod it, try that.
  16. Cool man ,get some pics up when you can dude ,this is high on my list of things to do What spec did you go for ? Yep, I'll get some snaps up for sure (same as the first one just +4mm)
  17. A. (but spin it nicely) Same as going on dates, you don't want to explicitly say, yep I'm at it left right and centre but a wry smile, softly letting them know you are seeing others is a good thing. Option B is lame, in interviews and dates
  18. That sucks, doesn't sound like them to cheap out like that
  19. I drove down last year, it was brilliant - I went via back roads, not a single police car, no traffic jams and plenty of 'spirited' driving (left on thur morn, back mon eve). One other car with me on the way down but I did solo on the way back. Actually in all honesty the driving was the most enjoyable part (don't ask ).
  20. I'd say the set-up I have is great for the road, it's totally compliant so if you end up going over lunar surfaces (which are most UK roads right), then it handles the sudden change very nicely. If you wanted it firmer for more track use, I'd just use different springs (Swift Sport Spec-R which octet supplies iirc) but then you could consider the B8 shocks as they are for 30mm+ drop (B6's up to 30mm). As I said, for me, I just didn't want coilovers (unless I had a chance to try a bunch out). Either way, it would be good to let everyone know what you went with and how they feel
  21. Not to take anything away from Torqen, especially as I've seen the item in the metal - I personally didn't want coilovers, and I'm very happy with the yellow billies + tein S springs + eibach arbs + dw upper camber arms + prothane bushings + whiteline bushings + superpro bushings + all of the other guff I've bought
  22. Search is ye friend.... and I'll be nice for once New motor, of if can wield a solder iron...
  23. If you're looking for quotes, these guys are also very good (have built a friends 800odd bhp turbo), just like RPM, great reputation. http://www.nineexcellence.com/index.html
  24. Hey Alan, We had a big chat about it over on the US forums: http://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/599448-350z-street-suspension-upgrade-springs-and-shocks-not-coil-over.html Long thread, be warned
