http://www.jrcvehiclerepairsltd.co.uk/ I work next door to them too!

I dont like it, looks like an aged red car lol!

How cheap do you want a 62 plate car to be? Yea, I was thinking that too... I think they price isn't that bad!

You will need to check offsets/Rim width, make sure its correct PCD... And decide wether you want 18's 19's.... But the Rays that come on the Zeds are the best bet as they are forged and lightweight. They will go straight on of course. But if you want to jazz up your standard touring rims you should check mine out, my mate in Fareham runs a big body repair shop and has done a flawless job on mine!

To be honest I made the sig just before buying them, so I decided not to buy them and now I cba to change my sig. Once I get the coilovers on I think I will try and source some new tyres, probably Pilot sports again!

Dyno results?

Wow - Ask yourself the question; Would you be happy to hand over £750 for the outcome? I know I wouldnt. Thats a set of coilys right there!

This was a great documentry. I have started watching them all now...

No, if anything you might gain a bit of torque due the a slight increase in back pressure.

What exhaust do you have? There is a bit of knack with the statics, make sure the car is nice and warm, dont just bang it straight up to 4500k, build it slowly so you dont get any resonance and keep your foot on the clutch as to avoid gearbox noise Lol, you really need to hear his exhaust...

Hey man! Im in Gosport so if you ever need any help send me a PM! Good luck with the car!

Welcome, I am in Portsmouth, well Gosport so if you need anything send me a PM.

Welcome! :HI:

Oh god them V6 badges! Apart from that it looks geat!

I am speaking in terms of a 350Z though from the very few systems I have heard, you would have to have something like decats and a non resonated system to get over 100DB I think! Get smudgedon in here - His i'm sure was like 100DB and that was very loud!

And I totallay agree! But being realistic the spacers on eBay are more than sufficient. They might not have a big brand name that has piled thousands of £'s in to marketing though, hense the high price tag on Eibachs - Doesnt mean they are @*!#! Each to their own though. If my wheels drop off I will let you know

You have to have something pretty damn loud to not pass them tests at 4,000RPM. Aks smudgedon, we did a test on his and I think it was 98DB which is deafening to say the least. My Kakimoto is about 90DB, which is not THAT loud... I dont think.

For everyone making assumptions... These spacers are perfect fit and a well made product. I have them and reccommend them totally. And why are you all talking abour 'Unsprung weight' as if its going to give you cancer! Be realistic, it will make **** all difference to your day to day driving! If you want to spend £200+ on Eibachs go for it, otherwise these do the job just fine. Those spacers made no difference to the drive of my car whatsoever!

I've just realised I will be in Lanzarote on this date! Please remove me fro the list!

Yes, 4 axle stands although there are not great jacking points on these cars. But I always use the jacks a fraction lower on the off chance the axle stand fail lol, sounds daft I know but it does no harm! The exhaust has a completely different note to anything I heard at the Box Hill meet, I love it. I didnt fit the Decats but I think it would be even sweeter with them fitted, maybe in the summer time I will get some fitted. Ha! Dedication, I had to change clothes 3 times doing that exhaust. And getting the old one off was a nightmare, but the Kakimoto system bolted up perfectly. The tips hang a little low, I will be taking it off again soon to raise them up. I will probably work on the hangers and knock them up a touch. I doubt I will sell it, but if I do you will be the first person I call.

So, it is about time I start a build thread. Firstly, I wont be looking to do anything drastic like forced induction and I am a believer in trying to keep the OEM feel going on, with a bit of tarting up. So here goes! Previously to buying my first NON BMW I owned: BMW E36 328i Sport BMW E92 325i MSport The newer BMW was very pretty, but extremely boring. It was untill my next door neighbour who owns a 350z talked me in to getting one! In novemeber I travelled to Cheltenham to pick her up! The overall condition of her is absolutely mint, there is not a mark on her and I truly believe that I got a steal for what I paid for her! She had just 49,000 miles on the clock. JDM Import Bose System Leather Brembos Pretty much everything that is worth having, and being on a Import. I truly love this car, very impressed overall with it! Then it starts... Some people refer to it as 'Zediditus' I believe... Carbon Fibre Lip from EPRacing, must say that the carbon is some of the nicest I have seen! Although I will never pay £300 for a front lip EVER again! After the front lip, I decided to remove the lead weight in the boot. I think I did this to keep me occupied more than anything! Although my boot did struggle to stay up without hitting me on the head before. Spacers - So many mixed opinions about this, people saying it ruins the handling. Which is dumb, because if you do notice a difference it is probably the fact that you have knocked the gemoetry out a little. Anyway, 20mm from and 25mm rear. After fitting the spacers, I decided that I wanted new wheels. But keeping the OEM theme going I decided to get mine refurbed. I didnt see many people keeping the touring wheels, rather going for Rays. So I thought i'd be different... The images do not do them justice, the finish is fantastic! Following the wheels, it was becoming apparent that the BOSE system is pretty useless and again, keeping the OEM feel I decided to do the BOSE hack. A very simple job to do, a bit long winded but works like a charm. I used a 15mm drill piece on the cubby hole and plugged it with a rubber gromet to keep it clean, tidy and professional looking. I also took the 15mm drill piece to my finger. (NOTE: Move your finger from the other side of the cubby hole when drilling through) Then a stubby ariel from a Honda RDX. Then my latest purchase. (And I am sorry to everyone who had their eye on this, but I could not resist) KAKIMOTO exhaust... WOW. Fitted this in the pissing rain, dedicated or stupid... You decide. The sound of this system is like nothing I have heard, its perfect for me. Nice and quiet untill you stick your foot down and a lovely loud rasp around 3500k. LOVE IT! It sits a little low, which I will be modifying soon. Next are HSD coilovers to be fitted... I will probably end up lowering it more than I should but we will see! So far, Ive spent too much money - I'm skint, but addicted! P.S - I'm also a dab hand at detailing, and love detailing cars! If anyone needs any hints or help dont hesitate to ask!

Sold.

I have a pair of JAPSPEED DECATS complete with O2 simulators so it wont bring up any lights on the dash. These have been fitted to the car for about 2 weeks before deciding to go with High Flow Cats. RRP £129 I would like £80 shipped.
