  1. Not me, I stand by my statement of anything over 19" does not look right.Also the Zed looks photoshopped...probably wrong, but the front wheel/bumper looks weird.
  2. I can't remember if we drilled through the strut or not. Don't think we did. Mouthwash might be able to shed some light.
  3. Pop the plastic trim off, you can then feed the extenders up through the rear strut, then you can line up where you want to cut the hole in the plastic.
  4. Thanks dude. Got lucky with the drifting shots as I had Press Access for myself and the other half. Which enabled us to get in front of the wire fences between the public viewing area and the track. We were stood behind the crash barriers on the inside corner which was awesome! Know what you mean on the 50mm, when I first got mine it didn't come off the camera for months! Yeah, tempted to apply for one at Trax.
  5. Can i? Was because I was using my 50mm lens, so I needed to be quite far away, but crowds were to busy, thus close ups Umm think it was this one, but again, too busy to get more shots. Mario Photobombing it
  6. Awesome shots. Loving the 50mm, although I need to stop using it too much Those action shots are epic. That's what I'd like to practice shooting next.
  7. Just should of got the camera out sooner Was so hectic yesterday!
  8. Guess I'll start on off, Had a day off, so managed to upload my photos. Post your pictures from Japfests event here Rest of my images can be found - http://www.teamtarmac.com/media/japfest-silverstone-2016/#
  9. I should really do some serious P'shops
  10. ET 15 on them all. 9.5J and 10.5J 18's.
  11. I'll be setting off my way in about 25 mins. Get fuel, then head to Tesco. Is it the one with roundabout to the A34? Getting there a little early as I'm going to attempt to bodge my Sub Amp
  12. Can do you a temp deal on these if you can get to Cambridge ASAP/
  13. Doubt Chris@Tarmac could bring a 370 wheel with him...still means you'd have to get to S'stone. Is the Crack that bad?
  14. Space Saver/Any other wheel?
  15. Depends if your wheels have an engrave behind them. Mine don't so I had to shave mine Just realised the above, forget me, as I'd have to cut mine down more.
  16. Bring 15mm as I might be tempted. Don't know if I'll rub or not, rubbed with 20mm so want to try 15mm.
  17. Just some things I've personally noticed this year round due to the Japfest event. I have a few ideas that all pretty much tie in together. 1. - New Sub Forum - 'Convoys' An area dedicated for people looking to arrange convoys to designated event. At the moment we have about 10 different threads going at the moment in different regional areas. This works, however there is a fault. Judging by a few people I've seen crop up now and then, members subscribe to certain sub forums, such as there retrospective local area. That's fine. However a lot of the times there is a convoy going on, which passes through or is near said persons area, But they don't see that thread because it isn't in their regional area they are subscribed to. We have to understand that not everyone on this forum uses it daily, knows all it's features and layouts etc. For example I see a lot of comments to new comers say - PM such and such - to an 'outsider, it's not always that easy to follow those instructions, as simple as they may sound) So expecting them to look through each sub forum can't really be expected. This then leads me on to suggestion number 2. 2. - Major events and Regional Area's. - IMO a rule should be set in place. Events like Japfest/Trax/JAE/Wales etc all usually come under Major events. Which is good. However things like Ace Cafe/Incarnation/ meet come under regional. I think ALL meets that are like the above should be in one Sub Forum. Why? Because I think we need to set a precedence that people should sub that area for the events, because the ones that subscribe to regional meets don't get notifications of whats going on (Yes this is there fault for not looking/Subbing to Major - But thats my goal, get people to sub to Major) With Incarnation, it's a big event (Not Japfest huge, but there is a large turnout of cars) Now if I didn't use 'View New Content' I wouldn't know it existed unless I looked through each regional area. I'm only 40mins away, but because it's in South East, I'm not going to see it. And I feel this could be the same for a lot more members on the fourm. Why did I raise this point? Because I noticed on a thread in one of the convoys, Someone popped up basically saying does any one have a spare ticket, or where can I get a ticket from etc. That to me seems like they aren't even aware of the main Japfest thread because they only got an email to say - A new thread has popped up in such and such forum. So what's the point in Regional Area's Sub forum? - Keep it, and use it just for Local organised meets, not for Shows and Events. If I was going to organise a local meet at a local pub that wasn't going to be anything exciting other than parking up in a pub car park, I'd use the regional area, as it's not a Big Event, It's not worth Travelling down 3 hours from north to attend etc. I totally rambled on here, and it doesn't even effect me in the slightest But the overall goal here might generate a larger turnout to events through out the year. 3. - I've just literally noticed this one whilst I was typing up the below TL:DR. Sort out the Meets, Shows and Events area Lock that down. You need just Big UK Events and Regional. The Meets, Shows, and Events forum should just then lead to the Major and Regional. Peoeple should be able to post in that section. Whats the point? It's got so messy right there. You've got people organising mini meets, asking about events, asking where people are from. This should be a tidy area which is clear for everyone to know whats going on - I.e. links to two sub Forums. Events for the UK throughout the year and Regional area for people to organise mini meets. (Change #3 I've cut short as I'm hungry and want lunch) TL:DR? - Keep Regional Area's to just local pub meets. Make use of the Major Event Don't be afraid to post a big event in there. Add a new sub forum for people to post convoy threads in, keep it in one place. Set some rules to make finding an event easier. Hopefully it's not just me who see's it this way Let me know your thoughts. Edit Links to what I'm talking about. These are no means digs at people who started the thread, as we have no rules as to where these threads go. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/20-meets-shows-and-events/ - This is the main forum for Events. This then cascades down to two sub forums. Major and Regional. I personally feel there is no need for posts to be placed here as we have the two sub forums. Here are events which should be in the Major sub forum. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105406-jap-day-14th-may/ (Although this one should really have information in the opening post. List of names, but didn't see information on payment etc) http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/106739-wings-and-wheels-at-dunsfold-28th-of-august/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/106014-nissan-day-2016-niss-day-sunday-14th-august-rockingham/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/107035-supercar-siege-brands-hatch-sun-8th-may/ - An event at Brands, hardly any activity. Then there are just a list of other random threads, Convoys, Any meets coming up, Tunnel runs etc. That just are lost in the abys. We should have a template of some sort when organising a meet. I.e. Tunnel Run. That header doesn't' do it justice. Maybe London Tunnel Run, Hampshire Drive, Dartford Run etc. This helps people know where it is straight away without looking at it. So I guess a fourth suggestion - Event Post Templates. A structure when organising an event. Not just, Meet going on over here, anyone want to come?
  18. Chop in your GTR please you can F right off, sounds awesome. I have no stereo in it. Ok I concede based on that. BUT!!!!! A 1.6 ford sounds like shite anyway. Another point to make you concede, I believe it was Dedman who mentioned this.... You say turn the music up in the Leaf and forget the noise... But you're sacrificing 20miles for the louder music
