Imho if i was spending an extra 10k it would have to be considerably better to make me want to change, that considerably better could be anything though, performance, spec/trim, looks or a combo of everything etc etc Also looking at your car it doesnt seem to me you will be happy with oem so factor in a load of £ to make changes and its way more than £10k The only thing i will add is, its only a 350z, a very personalised one but hardly like they are rare, so whats the worst that could happen, you change, dont like it and get back into a 350z. Variety is the spice of life and think its good to experience different cars. I had a long stint of Rx7's as did Lmc, the owners are so blinkered about other cars its borderline insanity, i would rather have my Rx7 than a R8 for example, lol. I tried a few alternatives but always came back to Rx7's but my mind was open, i tried a 350z and never gone back, but i am always open to finding something i prefer over the 350

They will be cheap for a reason, so long as your comfortable with that and prepared that the finish will deteriorate easily and quickly they will look good for a while Probably very heavy too so will affect feel of the car.

Great to see the Ducatis up the sharp end again, more so for the whole race and not fading with tyre issues, looks like they have been working hard, lets hope they stay there and get amongst the 4 aliens, which seemingly has become 3 as Danni has retired with immediate effect until he can sort his arm pump issues. I think from memory the top 20 bikes were covered by a second after qualifying so couldnt care less about the different classes, the grid is full, Suzuki are back thanks to the new system so I would say its working well, we still get great racing up front and some excellent battles mid field to watch if your at the race. 220 mph for Marquez

VEILSIDE 350Z 2002 £11500 ON Ebay
Jetpilot replied to veilside z's topic in Spotted on Ebay or Other
Cant quite get my head around the cost of some grp/frp mouldings, that will still need work to fit. Think from memory the Rx7 Fortune kit with all the options was £12k, + shipping, duties, vat etc So your into 20k plus fitted/wheels etc -
225 on a 10 will give you a hell of a stretch buddy.

According to the articles expected price of 145k Its only 3k more than a turbo s, very similar hp, but 300kg lighter, I know which I would prefer. Turbo s' are really that much??? I though they were about 120. Makes it seem even better. Am looking forward to seeing reviews on how it drives http://www.porsche.com/uk/models/911/911-turbo-s/

Std for std, i prefer the 350, but as some on here have done with the right additions, the 370 looks awesome. If you want to talk sales figures though, the 350 walks it by a country mile, but then you are in discussion of price, recession etc

although I too think there are a growing number of people that think it is fashionable to have them too... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Absolutely, a mate of mines ex decided she had ptsd, this was as a direct result of her friend having ptsd, strangely up until that point she was absolutely fine apart from perhaps as mentioned above she was an attention seeker. The reason for her alledged ptsd by the way was because of bad relationship, 8 YEARS previously. I am not so sure It helps to persistenly label people, especially children as it segregates them from "normal" kids.

Can somebody tell me what a Zero Hours Contract is ?
Jetpilot replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Just to add into the mix, ZHC might suit some peoples lifestyle requirements. i.e they dont want to work everyday. I dont see people being forced into it, i guess like anything, every one has a choice. -

Jetpilot replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Is this something the Tories started, as DC seemed to be taking some flack for it? If your on a zero hours employment contract would you be classed as employed I.e your not one of the statistics and unemployed? -
Well yes, but.....all seems a little political to me. They dont want him to continue with TG (because of his behaviour) but, they want him to continue with TG LIve but under a different banner.....So why not just rename TG and give him a new contract Of course i am playing devils advocate.
-
Apparently the presenters have a different contract to cover the live shows Only quoting as its a relevant point. So hitting and verbally abusing a presenter doesnt have any impact on this contract with the Bbc then!!!

Probably because it's a bit of a myth they come here to sponge. Immigrants to the UK since 2000 have made a "substantial" contribution to public finances, a report says. The study by University College London said recent immigrants were less likely to claim benefits and live in social housing than people born in Britain. The authors said rather than being a "drain", their contribution had been "remarkably strong". The government said it was right to have strict rules in place to help protect the benefits system. Immigrants who arrived after 1999 were 45% less likely to receive state benefits or tax credits than UK natives in the period 2000-2011, according to the report by Prof Christian Dustmann and Dr Tommaso Frattini from UCL's Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration. They were also 3% less likely to live in social housing. "These differences are partly explainable by immigrants' more favourable age-gender composition. However, even when compared to natives with the same age, gender composition, and education, recent immigrants are still 21% less likely than natives to receive benefits," the authors say. 'Highly-educated immigrants' Those from the European Economic Area (EEA - the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) had made a particularly positive contribution in the decade up to 2011, contributing 34% more in taxes than they received in benefits. "Given this evidence, claims about 'benefit tourism' by EEA immigrants seem to be disconnected from reality. Immigrants from outside the EEA contributed 2% more in taxes than they received in the same period, the report showed. Over the same period, British people paid 11% less in tax than they received. So what your saying Is, if the immigrants who dont work and claim benefits werent here, we would be even better off Check So we all agree, if your an immigrant and work and pay into the system, fill your boots, if your not, no thanks, we dont want you basically just about averaging out the hard working ones What I'm saying is the UK is in better position with immigration than it is without. If you wanted to examine how we "would be even better off Check " you can throw in not just the benefit claimaint immigrants, but also the uk claimants of benefits, disabled people, pensioners, the terminally ill - hell they all cost a fortune so we'd be "better off" without them. Obviously that's Ionly if you only count "better off" in money. As said, the whole welfare system needs a shake up and theoretically yes we would be better off without pensioners, terminally Ill, disabled, but they may well have already paid into the system and are British so are entitled to be supported by their own country, basically speaking. I wont disagree as said either, about the country being better off because of hard working Immigrants, but you shouldnt just be able to come here and just start receiving hand outs, we just cant afford It, cuts are being made everywhere because we dont have the cash. Its a hot topic in this country, however bad ukip might be, their popularity is only due to their, extreme to be fair, immigration policy, as none of the other parties seem to want address it, perhaps until now with what the tories are outlining. We need to get our house In oder before we carry on inviting people to stay in it.

Interesting, thought the TG live shows were part of the Bbc? Or the brand TG.
-
Definitely a great piece of work, please dont think i am picking, just trying to make it fool proof and avoid the questions surrounding the harness and make it a simple group buy for the maker. I have no issue with cutting trim either but some might find that trickier than putting a slit in the carpet If it was me i would have the diagonals almost to the bend on the main bar (by the seat belt mounting points) and drop the angle a bit so it sits level with the harness "window" but sure the now basic jig is done a little tweaking is no issue
-
All very true, but the average man/woman probably isnt even aware of tax evasion (loosely speaking) and sees immigration as a big issue. Also very true that migrants come here to fill the jobs the lazy Brits dont want, absolutely fair enough good on them, but, what about the ones who have no intention of working and instantly receive benefits? There should be a massive shake up in the benefits system, not only for migrants but for the lazy UK apparent "job seekers", if there are jobs for migrants why cant they be filled by the uk unemployed, or should i say, why cant they be made to do these jobs? I have no issue with migrants, but do think, perhaps as outlined by the tories, no immediate benefits, if they havent got a job in 6 months they have to go and no claiming until they have paid into the system for a period of time.
-
I hate to be critical, i really do, i love to see people making stuff, but, given this was designed from scratch i do feel it could have been less fussy and would have been so easy to mount the diagonals clear of the harness "window" so to speak and the main bar also level with the same (just to avoid any angular confusion). I think like the other designs, supports just bolted to the boot floor would be easier so as to not have to cut trim, just carpet, but appreciate this also gives a bit or bracing.I am guessing with the basic jig made it can be tweaked to suit requirements?
-
They wont get in, but think upset the apple cart, in the polls they are quite a distance ahead of the Lib Dems, cosying up to the Tories did them zero favours with their electorate imho. If we get a hung parliament again i see Ukip as the party to form a coalition with. Expect to see a lot of changes, If Labour dont get in, EM will be gone, same with DC & Tories, Nick Clegg will go whatever
-
Well just did that little quiz, answered honestly and it probably didnt tell me anything i didnt know. Ukip, Tory, Labour right at the bottom I wonder how many people would be surprised by the outcome if they did it?
-
Truly sad on all fronts, for the family of the deceased and what the driver must feel like, even though it wasnt his fault. The Msa have been looking into spectator safety recently and this by all accounts has serious implications with all such cars being suspended from racing. Can you ever rule out freak accidents, personally i dont think you can
-
Looks good. Do think it needs a little work though if you want it to be properly functional and follow regs with regard to harness mounting angles etc. I know your not racing but I would want it to follow those regs as close as possible for safety. Difficult to judge from the pics but it does look like the bar sits a bit high above your shoulders, so the harness wouldnt be horizontal. http://wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35754

I would hope the e92 is better than a 350, it cost twice as much
