No, dull and uninspiring and yes i have driven one quite extensively, only the V8 though. With that kind of budget in my pocket it wouldnt even feature! TVR Tamora would be a box i would like to tick one day and fits in the ops budget, not the best TVR by any stretch but i think they are achingly beautiful

Function over form i guess as said above, as a dedicated track weapon it wouldnt look out of place, but on the roads it just looks a bit ott imho. Most GT kits for jdm cars are all square and angular, i presume it must be aerodynamically better.

I know its personal preference but for the cost of fi ing the renesis you would be better off putting in a 13b as the renesis motor is seriously restricted due to its extra ports to meet emissions, but then you have all the problems of tying up the electronics to work as its all controlled through the ecu, speedo, air con etc etc There are a couple of companies mid (maybe finished) conversions though, if they get it dialled, would definitely have one

Always worth checking out Hayward Rotary as he often sells them rebuilt with 3 years engine warranty for not a lot of money. Or buy one needing a rebuild then you will have peace of mind

If its a McGuard wheel nut, take a photo, email it to them and they will be able to match and supply the key.

Someone immediately suggests a second-hand Boxster ‘like mine’. Pistonheads to a T Guilty as charged to some of the comments

It was between the Rx8 and 350Z for me, especially after a series of Rx7's. I think they are cracking cars at a very attractive price and if i wanted something i would probably enjoy more on the track i probably would have gone for one. Sadly i think they have crucified the rotaries reputation with the masses, had they released it with a rotary that lasted (100k + miles) it would have been a perfect headline for a new Rx7, but in reality, it was just another nail in the coffin

Wheel size makes no difference to traction control, so long as your tyre profiles are in range. I noticed these as there was a guy inquiring about them in the wanted section, doing a little digging though and even the 18's are heavier than rays, just over 21lbs. http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wheel_Specifications

If thats what a decent set costs are the budget ones free??

I thought it was just one guy sitting in front of a pc on the web working out which wheel design they would rip off next As a business model you cant fault Rota and enjoyed reading the sales pitch. There is a reason why Rota got a bad rep, no smoke without fire and all that, having said that, it seems they have improved massively. But, they are still a cheap alternative and regardless of the pitch above, they are heavy and the finish can suffer (speaking from experience) compared to the wheels they have copied. They make perfect sense if your drifting or on track, if you smash one its not that much to replace and they are readily available, would i put them on my pride and joy, no

Love this. Don't know if it will look too high on a 350z. How much is the ep racing one? If your looking for downforce it will probably have to be as high as the roof line to have any real noticeable effects

loads on this dudes Flickr stream http://www.flickr.co...114248/player/" Now i'm not normally a fan of the BGW, but that does look nice and the leg spacing is spot on Tony find out where to buy it from Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Grundy will give it a go, got plenty of time at the mo as currently laid up after spinal surgery Tony is the man!!! - http://www.meganraci...id=609&catid=57 So now all we got to do is see if they ship, and what discount we can get You could try this also, Amber performance UK based seller APR Performance Carbon Fibre 67" GTC-300 Rear Spoiler - Nissan 350Z Not in defence of the price but APR wings are wind tunnel designed

I think all you need to know is in question 8's answer in what can we expect from bt sports coverage, "i hope it will be "SEXY", blah blah blah. Eye candy and nothing more and to be fair, much better eye candy than Susi Perry these days The commentary is back to Ryder and Huewen which is a great combo although its a shame Moody has gone, mind you i noticed he is doing commentary for x games, so doubt he is that fussed Hopefully we wont have to listed to the droning of Neil Hodgson too much but the rest of the line up looks good. Guess i am going to have to switch broadband to BT.

Bloody hell, you had hair! I cant see any doughnuts either

Just remembered the guy for conversions: http://www.dynotorque.co.uk/

So what is a UK Zed designed to run as there is some conflicting info: 97 or 98+?

For every bit of date supporting opinions you will find some data against, thats just the way of the web! Its like for example, dont buy fake bride seats cause their dangerous, I would bet there Is not one person in britain who has been hurt from a fake bride seat. Scare mongering at its best which is perpetuated on the web. Rotary engines is another, sure they have a lifespan but you would be shocked by some of the comments I used to get during my ownership from people with no experience of ownership, just what they had read on the internet! Its also worth mentioning that unless remapped jdm imports will be designed to run on 100 ron, mine is a jdm and done some 40k miles in the uk with no ill effect!

Would like to get a decent wing for trackdays but prefer something like the CWest or Ings that mount more off the back of the car, you would probably notice more effect

To be honest, compression checks only goes so far, most failures i see are water seal issues (head gasket equivalent). Which unless it already on its way out you will have no idea its going to happen and when it goes it goes quick. I took a guy out for a test drive in one of mine i had for sale, it was mint and went beautifully, as i stopped at a cashpoint for him to get a holding deposit it turned into a steam engine, water seal failure. It was literally perfect one minute, not the next They arent as bad as people make out but they do require tlc and also, they like to be driven and driven hard each time you go out. Imho they are not expensive either, rebuild is £3k ish for an engine that will easily cope with 500+ hp, how much to build a Zed engine to cope with that hp? Try Hayward Rotary, he will be able to find something if he hasnt go it already and will put it on his ramp so you can see the all important chassis condition. Good luck, there is a load of help out there with V8 builds too now

Its like when one of your friends says, oh did you hear about "Sue", but then says, oh no i cant tell you! or was it just a general question but there was nothing specific you wanted to know, but you just wanted to know if anyone had knowledge of the mythical rotary Or it could be that I don't spend every day on this forum, and this is the first time i have returned since making this thread?

Probably not as noticed you were on later that day as thought it was odd you hadnt checked back To answer you questions imho: If your ripping the engine out i wouldnt worry to much about who has build it and when, even selling a good engine 2nd with a reputable builder tag is hard work these days. Andy, Me, LMC all have broken their Rx7's for spares, i would very much think Guy would too if it wasnt a 2001 model. Hopefully that tells you all you need to know about prices. I have to be honest, i havent seen many whole cars sell recently (especially expansive ones), the ones that are advertised for £9k will sit there for ages with the price coming down and down. Only late spec 99+ can command a decent price tag. I think the world is your oyster if your putting a V8 in one as its really only the engine condition that commands any sort of price at the moment. Hope that helps. P.s Hayward Rotary often have rolling chassis with interior etc for sale. V8 conversion kits are available off the shelf or there is a guy called Tinker who has done loads

Well this a good thread, lol

Bgw on Rx7, s needed to 13" off the boot to have decent effects on downforce.

I think its great we all like different cars for different reasons I have as probably everyone does some very wealthy friends, some of them are polar opposite on what they like and their budgets are immaterial. One loves Lambos the other a Ferrari man, the guy who likes Ferraris also loves his Mercs/Audis, the other Porsches/BMW's. One of them sold his 360 Challenge Stradale to buy a GT3 after a month, both equally as fine handling but he wanted to get back in a Porsche as he preferred the branding. You couldnt get two more avid petrol heads, their budgets are just very different to ours so all options and brands become available. When you have that capacity open to you, you are buying a car on looks and brand alone so of course there is brand loyalty and preference. I always remember when the SLK55AMG was picthed against the Boxster S, two very different cars (engine/handling), with very similar outcomes. My sister had a new SLK55 and a mate a new Boxster S, i was lucky enough to have full use of the SLK and i just loved it, we swapped for a trip out once, i could not wait to get back in the SLK and my mate couldnt wait to get back in his Boxster. I really enjoyed the way the Boxster drove, far more precise than than the SLK, but it didnt give me that special little tingle you just cant explain and i have found that with any Porsche i have driven/been in and also Audi to be fair and i have had the pleasure of driving quite a few, RS4 (turbo and V8 versions), V8 R8). So in essence, no i dont like the Porsche badge, mainly because owners seem to constantly want to tell me i am an "idiot" for example because i dont like them!

This only response i have to that without circumnavigating the swear filter many many times
