Let's just all hope it's nothing trivial or disputable. I'm sure there's room for him on the radio, maybe he could team up with Andy Gray and Richard Keys? Imagine the "classic banter" they could work up. It'd be enough to make you rip off your own eyelids, just so you had something to jam in your ears.

Want one. I'll figure out why later In terms of 'nice watch prices' these start at the bottom end of that market (except the 10k ones which you'd be insane to buy with a Aple Watch 2 coming along in X months), the only other watch I've ever really wanted is a Rolex Submariner and that doesn't do much apart from the time and date and costs many thousands more than the stainless apple watch The only question is whether or not to hold on for the second iteration, as apple iteration 2s are usually a good step forward. PS - I don't care if the Milanese loop is for girls, it's the best one!

Snap! Mine was surgically removed on Friday as it was on it's last legs and dangling in the way of the new zorst. There's a pictue here of what yours may have looked similat too before its demise. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/95712-what-does-this-bit-do/ Nice underside BTW

Used it twice in 3 weekds now. I didn't really trust it the first time, but was pleasantly surprised. This time I really couldn't be arsed to do anything after the TBW as I had a Vauxhall shed to clean too, so it was the quickest thing to hand.

Sh!t a hole in my face, that's cool. Post up a link to one of those UV torches they use on CSI to find jizz as soon as you find one!

How many washes did you get out of a 500ml bottle of wetcoat Matt? I think I might be usin too much, as I don't fully understand its mechanism.

Writting on my snowfoam lance, what's next? 6 different waxes on a wing mirror Ha! RainX was the first hydrphobic coating I tried, before the Gtechniq suite of goodies (which I've just remembered I applied months ago and is still going great guns) and I just can't bring myself to throw away unfinished product. TBF RainX is not that bad, so long as you top it up weekly, never want to remove it, don't get it in your mouth (I still don't know how that happened) and don't mind spending time buffing streaks. It's now exclusively used on bathroom tiles and mirrors. Organisationally, this is all maintenance wash stuff (the good stuff is filed in the FatMax*) so the label rotation is unimportant as they are grouped by use case. This means I just grab something from the Exterior Trim section or Interior Fabrics area and see what surprise prodct I've got to try this week. If it's lucky, it'll get promoted to the FatMax off the wallpapering table Edit: I didn't miss the 1L mark BTW, that's displacement from the scavenging tube attached to the lance head FatMax* http://www.amazon.co...QpOL&ref=plSrch

It's only been on for 50 miles or so, so it's early doors. It's louder all across the range, I notice it sat a traffic lights at idle now, but didn't before. However, it's a good louder. It is definitely deeper, but with some rasp (which I put down to the cats), it seems to pick up volume right the way through, can't say I noticed anything at 3.5 to 4k but I'll keep an ear out next time.

This is what can happen if you spend too much time hanging around this thread...

Don't worry about the wife, they made thousands of those, Zeds are relatively rare Good luck with your fixes. I've got a 2004 too, the undertray was hanging off when I bought it (Z Speed FTW) battery was a few months back, discs and pads were flagged at my service yesterday. Best to get them out the way early doors and ready for summer

As it has reached a balmy 12C (peak of Northern summer) I thought it was time to lose the Alpins and go back to MPSS. Should guarantee some snow this week and no sun until September For safety purposes I had to go and scrub the release agent off the tyres on some quiet back roads, which also afforded me the chance to test the new sound from the Cobra. Well pleased with the noise As for the rubber, it was nice to get back on to summers, they feel a bit more stealthy as you drive around. It's been a mild old winter so I haven't really had a chance to see what the Alpins can do. I know they displace a shed load of water in heavy rain but I'm a little bit sad I didn't see some white stuff so I could work on my Scandinavian flicks. Would I buy them again? Not unless I moved somewhere colder or more inland where the sea wouldn't protect you from the snow and ice. If, you're not a landlubber or are south of Sheffield, chuck some snow socks in the boot for a winter emergency and keep your MPSS on (also think about moving to the North ).

If it does, I'll beat you to it Not if we have to drive there. 'chargers are for drivers who need to catch up on the straights what they lost in the bends

Cheers Gareth. You need to get your HR bonnet first though, otherwise it won't look right The zunsport will be up for sale soon. Unless a HR bonnet comes up for sale at a very cheap price, pre-painted in primer, erhh I mean Gun Metal then I just can't see it happening. At least you should have no probs selling the Zunsport grille I'd imagine. GLWTS. If it does, I'll beat you to it

That lip looks the shizzle, nice choice

A word of advice; give up now or accept that it'll drive you ******* mental trying to keep it shiny. There's a protruding inch of tip on each side that I'll keep clean. The rest will be allowed to develop as nature intends.
-
Interesting. Mine failed in the same place, just as I was closing the boot a week or so after installation. It obviously fully extened, at a fair old rate just, as the lid closed. Luckily there's just a small mark left on the tail light plastics and not a load of paint missing. Sh1t myself at the time mind Before anyone asks, I didn't fit them, it was done right, by a pro! Though I did fit the replacements that SGS sent (albeit with one bit upside down at first ). Been fine since I switched them the right way round, touch wood. The customer service process was ok.

Suzanne the LS3 6.2 V8! Caution very long build thread....
Stutopia replied to Wasso's topic in Member Build Projects
This is heating up nicely, super excited! -
Thanks! Well pleased with it, and the new noise too. Might do a little vid tomorrow, after she's had a bath.
-
A shiny one. Hmmm. Didn't have to clean the last one, tips didn't stick out past the diffuser and it was already oxidised when I bought her. This one however, is bloody spotless!!!!
-
The exhaust heat shield is still there, and in remarkably good nick. That makes sense as there's a can lurking round there behind the bit it tied on to on the bottom of the bumper. Thanks Chaps.
-
Whilst my exhaust was going on today, this part was a little bit in the way and a big bit rotten to ****. It used to live in here, fixed three ways between the back of the rear wheel arch liner, the tray affixed to the bottom of the bumper and the underside of the car. Anyone know if it did anything beyond providing some bracing for the rear of the arch liner? All I know for certain is that I now have a slightly improved power to weight ratio

Trip to Grinspeed for service, thanks to Clark Motorsport and Cougar Store for the fluids... Never get comfortable seeing her in the sky ...and the Cobra. Replacing the scorpion back box as its developed an irritating new sound which I'm guessing was baffles. Well pleased, looks mint, not heard here yet as she's still on the ramp!!!
