Stutopia

I would be compelled to wonder if the level of thought that went into the name was indicative of the thought applied to other parts of the conception and realisation of the car in general.

Not even close. It's one of those mysteries...

I just had to vent this, sorry. The wall-to-wall ads for the Vauxhall Adam are driving me nuts. I'm pretty confident this is far and away the most stupid, irritating, ill-conceived car name ever? I'd sooner drive a car called the Peckerwood. PS - I've got nothing at all against Adam as a human's name.

Careful. Sounds like it comes with a heavy drone and intermittent loud whine, present at all speeds.

I've dabbled, not a fan. I keep thinking a little iPhone app for the forum shouldn't be that hard to develop. Might be a good learning exercise for me.

Can anyone else hear those voices? Is it just me?

Have a little look. I've bought from both these traders, extremely helpful and top services. http://tarmac.silver-pride.com/products.aspx?CategoryId=32850911-9f8a-43e4-a5fc-24678e254d1d http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_10 I'm sure there are others out there too. Good luck.

I'd quite like a single, so long as it was one of those massive "oblong" lambo ones in the middle.

The knowledgable people here don't shout. They have been known to mock, but only in a friendly way...

Thanks for the knowledge fellas, always good to learn. Apologies I meant to say system as opposed to exhaust, cats right back to tips. I also meant MOT safe. Sorry OP, didn't mean to hijack.

Try the first part of this. Good luck. http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=45398

Just out of interest, what would you suggest is the nailed on "best" off the shelf system? I'm thinking gains, not volume.

I read on here is paired to the ecu, so in and out fine, but different Zed it needs a code. Legal Disclaimer: I read this, I've not done it

I thought the normal response was to PM all mods and then storm off? You could tell from the post it wasn't a rant, just a question.

It can happen, I did a course, it was less horrific than you'd think, there was no patronising or belittling. In case you didn't guess it's not run by the LAPD (Lancashire Area Police Department). I too have been surprised by the way the Zed picks up speed, without much effort, without a drop of gear and without an appreciable notice in "feeling fast". One of those things to chalk up to experience.

As promised.

Think I've got one fom the box of stuff that was ripped out. Will check and get back to you. Assuming it's there you can have for postage and a small donation to the forum honesty box?

Looks the nuts mate. This carbon business is definitely contagious, I wasn't a fan but I keep seeing very nice examples on here which really lift the, not awesome, Zed plastics. Given the time it must have taken, seems a very fair price.

Nice job, never really thought about the underside of the bonnet.

Completely agree. I dont understand people who start build threads because theyve swapped the aerial or gear knob - nobody cares about your knob I think on this latter point you need to remember that for many people this could be the first forum they have ever been on. Suddenly they are introduced to the world of modifying. For me and you, nothing short of FI or an engine pull would constitute a "build". But for someone new to forums, who is possibly already mid way through a midlife crisis, changing an aerial or gear knob is something massive and completely away from the norm. To them it's a build. Also, sometimes I think newbies want to feel like they fit in. And with so many people doing things that could constitute a "build thread" they feel they are missing out. This me, guilty as charged. I just want to be part of something awesome on here, never done anything like it and most people's feedback is usually honest, you see loads of "I really don't like those wheels!". I know some show mods on my Zed are not as interesting as loads of the incredible technical go mods. But as with any post on the Internet or social media, or anything you say in conversation - deep down we all want some kind of validation, like "nice fluffy dice" or "where did you get that set of valve caps" or "I wish I had the skills to do what you've done in your engine bay". Go easy on us, we just want to be part of the gang and learn from the serious modders.

Big fan of Richer Sounds, I've bought nearly all my stuff from their over the years, for a couple of reasons. They stock stuff which is either end of line or a new model has come out, so some extremely big bang for your buck can be had. Their extended warranty is the only extended cover of its kind I would even look at. All other cover is a rip off, not this; free servicing, you get a free loaner unit, lasts for 5 years, plus other stuff all for about £10 or 10% - worth looking at if you do shop there, it's called Supercare. Customer service and staff knowledability in my many experiences have been great, non pushy sales team too. This isn't like going to get "advice" at PC world! As for the actual headphones, not tried the Bose, but I did recently buy some headphones which I love. They're not noise cancelling, but they are noise isolating and I put them in at work all the time just to drown out the racket, you just need to trial the various buds which come with them for the snuggest fit. Best of all the sound is superb, particularly the soundstage, in my opinion. But buying headphones (like all hifi) is very personal, the sound I like, you might hate and vice versa, so I'd encourage you to demo any headphones you're thinking of spending decent money on. Try and take your own music device and listen to familiar music when you demo. For what it's worth, I went for these, there also some other suggestions in the thread too. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71336-need-headphones-look-no-further-get-these-sony-xba4ip/ Good luck, hope you find something you like as much as I like mine.

cool that you've got a mod plan and you're not trying to wast time fighting zeditis

I am. Need o get clearance at work on Monday though, might squeeze in Monaco and the Alps along the way

Not met you BBK but I've read enough comments on here to know you've been on the look out for a special lady friend. Congrats, hope it works out as you wish. Back on topic, I've noticed thumbs from bikers in the Zed, it's usually cos I've moved over though. I used to move over but never got as many thumbs. Back off topic, is it too early for a ?

This is interesting, can you really see anything? Is it not all inside the black hole machine? (Back off, I'm a scientist)
