  1. 18" RAYS, one piece, forged, very light, built for fast. Easy to clean.
  2. Second one looks cooler. I wouldn't get too hung up on the benefits, if you're really after cold air you need a vent.
  3. I like it, it's the sort of thing a sick hot hatch should be. The trip exhausts are a joke though, need to kill the middle tiny one.
  4. I took mine into toyota 3 times and they had it for a day at a time and said there was nothing wrong with it and I needed to drive it more to get the charge going, would be ok but it was just a weekend toy I'll have to get used to things being under warranty, the battery is already on its way from Tayna. I might try and get the condensation in the tail lights and fog under warranty thought, worth a shot!
  5. Lower centre of gravity than a Cayman, GTR, Evo, STI and nearly that of an LFA. I don't know what this means but it sounds very impressive
  6. Thanks Chris. I was reading about this just last night, had a look this AM and it's still got the original 48ah Panasonic in there, going to go for an Exide 65ah replacement and hopefully nip that in bud.
  7. ? it's the same car same suspension Nope, the suspension is different between the two cars. Stiffer on the rear on the 86, stiffer on the front on the BRZ. The difference is far more noticeable than you might think, too. Without knowing the mechanics of it, the BRZ is harder to provoke into oversteer than the GT86. Even in the wet it feels less boisterous. Well I consider myself told but then I've only driven the 86 tried to persuade my mrs to buy one but she bought the 2.0 tfsi tt instead unreliable crap It's not like it's night and day, in fact, if the 86 came in WR blue, it'd be one of those on the drive way. I think, in my two drives, the different rubber between the 86 and the BRZ may have more impact than my ability to read the "feel". It's not like I'm doing 10 10ths!

  9. Get MPSS whilst they're still carrying stock! They are largely gone now. Also what to move to as a readily available stock. Stupid fking company. You think you've got problems, the new whip means I'm down to 17s now
  10. Theres a guide on the forum. You can make it lock the doors once you've started to drive away for example. I may well have a few bits for sale at some point in the not too distant future, shame you're not modding it really... Great choice btw! Let's not be too hasty about anything if you've got things for sale
  11. As I'm not modding this car (other than the stereo and reverse camera arriving tomorrow and possibly an exhaust, remap or final drive) I thought I'd do some routine maintenance to get my kicks. First one is a bit of weird one. Apparently some marques have filters, but not for the oil or air or fuel, for the actual humans inside. Also, your bolt on mods just gain power on these, so I've uprated my pollen filter, good for another extra 15bhp at least. From the state of that above, I suspect I may be the first person since the assembler to look in this slot. Which is cleverly behind the rather quaintly located glovebox (in front of the passenger seat ). There's also a little keypad in there which I believe disables various alarm sensors and last but not least there is a secret cig lighter, to go with the other one in the centre console and the USB/AUX in the dash! My other job was to slip on some Bosch Aerotwins to resolve some smearing and reduce drag coefficient and weight, equivalent to another 15bhp gains I'd say
  12. Not going anywhere! Glad you'll have me on the drives too
  13. 4.6 to 4.8 depending on where you look. SRT claims 4.6 This is for a 2.5 tonne luxury cruiser. #Win My RRS is 8.4 0-60 and feels like the millennium falcon jumping into hyprespace when i put my foot down, due to the high torque (same as yours 640nm), so i cant imagine how this thing feels. Gotta be careful, they can actually stop the Earth's rotation if you're pointing the wrong way
  14. Strip out the sound deadening and fit a monster exhaust?
  15. Took me about 90 mins to strip this one out of my Z, detach the stereo and gauges, then swap them to my new painted one and install it. You could do it quicker but I was being super careful not to scratch anything. There's a really good guide here which shows how to do it. http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/dash_removal/ Simples (even for me )
  16. I don't really get excited about 4x4s but this thing is a beast!
  17. Ideologically, I think the Lords, if required at all, needs to be an elected second chamber. Given their actual incarnation, if they're not happy about something then it's their duty to pass it back to HoC. It doesn't matter whether it's something like Brexit, which has driven previously politically disinterested people (on both sides) to hitherto unseen levels of hysteria, or if it's a small element of a less emotive piece. Let's face it, how many HoL threads have we had prior to Brexit? How many people had to be told the Judiciary were enemies of the people, prior to Brexit? The whole discussion structure is tainted now by this incredibly emotive subject, making it more or less impossible to separate the genuine reformers from the "I don't like the last thing they did" mob. Next month the HoL will be failing to trouble the front pages.
  18. Still for sale. I'd definitely listen to a sensible offer.
  19. Great colour. Time for some new rims I'd say
  20. Hi Frankie The last dyno was end April 2014, I don't know the exact mileage, but from my MOT certificate mileages I'd estimate that would be 46k. The clutch and flywheel were swapped out November 2014, again from my MOT certificates, that would be 50k miles. The MOT intervals are attached at the foot of the first post if you want to have a look also.
  21. Thanks for the tip but it's got a USB & 3.5mm phono in, which is fine for the time being until Bluetooth lands.
