  1. I wonder why lh are less money than rh drive, what with japan being rh drive
  2. Apparently, just realised a problem annoyingly, for a left hooker of course, DOH!
  3. Size is irrelevant, its all down to value, up to £15 is free of vat or duty, anything over is liable. Would be interested in some Oem Nismo mats at $59 though if some sort of group shipping can be done
  4. No interest, thought this would be popular, will take a sensible offer
  5. I have Apex springs, they were on the car when i got it, i would have no hesitation in recommending them, ride is firm, not hard or harsh or in any way bouncy

    My Supra

    Like the dash wrap, was that diy or did you have it done
  7. Completely bonkers and very rich..!! :yahoo: Not sure very rich cuts it, lol !! A little story, apparently BMW got funny about the quota of m5 engines he was or wasnt buying for the Ascaris, he wanted to buy 2, they said 3, 3 agreed, they then said 5, he agreed, they then said no 10. The manager was then sent out to buy 5 brand new M5's, engines etc were stripped and the remains sat rotting in the factory car park!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Apparently one hell of a character I have some excellent stories of his eccentricity
  9. A good buddy of mine worked for Klaus at Ascari, well a couple actually, did you work there too?

    Speakers

    Be careful on mounting depth, you may need a spacer to fit a good quality speaker.

    Can you let me know how much shipping would be please, parcel2go is usually the cheapest. Thanks
  12. If anyone took offence to Limey or Pommy, Paddy or Jock or anything else i think they need their heads read, the less fuss made about it, the less the word will be used in an offensive nature as it is then immediately nullified! Stephen Fry said in well imho but it cant be repeated on here

    I will take the box buddy where are you located?
  14. Yes as long as it doesn't require registration or homoligation. Not necessarily, they might be required to break it as per the t&c's of them buying it so it specifically doesnt end up wearing flase plates/identity etc I am sure if it could be sold whole they would advertise it as being available whole and not be so specific.
  15. From tyres to racism, impressive I never realised the C word (well this one) was deemed offensive, i like NeilP thought it a shortened nickname like Brit, Scot etc Sure i saw somewhere BulletMagnet referring to his best man as Mr Chow from the Hangover films, would have thought that far more abusive!
  16. Odd that is a left hooker, most likely seized and its identity cant be traced so no documentation to be able to put it back on the road. We have a waste company down here who remove cars for the council, no road tax or traceable owner, stolen recovered, abandoned etc You cant even get parts from them, they have to be crushed. Of course there are some right wrecks, but some pretty decent stuff too. I used to buy a few imports from the two auctions at Southampton docks when we got the barrage of imports until the exchange rate went bad, occasionally they would get a car and the paperwork from Japan would get lost, no chance of ever getting it registered over here so they were sold for scrap! Shame though for what looks like a perfectly good car to get broken down.
  17. Just checked, Camskill are doing Rsr's for: 235/40/18 for £134 245/35/18 for £145 255/35/18 for £135 265/35/18 for £148 285/30/18 for £156 Federal also do a FZ201 which is more track day but a fair chunk more cash, similar price to 888's
  18. Pretty impressed with the Federals Andy, i ran some on my 7 including a track day or 2, they coped well with 500hp on a 265 rear, awesome grip and if they did start to spin and let go it was very progressive and controllable. Even had a greasy damp session thrown in which they felt good on which was surprising, never broke in a straight line. Considering the price i think you would be hard pushed to beat them.
  19. Long story short, xmas **** up A brand new Garmin Virb, unopened in the box (opened one is mine so you see what you get) Great for motorsport, mountain bikes, jet ski etc etc Loads of great features easily comparable with a GoPro (loads of comparisons on the net), excellent battery life 2.5 hours record time which is way better than a GoPro, also fits GoPro mounts with an adapter included. Full details below: £175 + fully insured postage http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/12/garmin-depth-review.html
  20. Any chance of making this a sticky for the benefit of members please mods http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79656-all-encompassing-wheel-size-offset-thread/
  21. I will kick off Volk SF Winnings Wheel Size 19 x 8.5 & 19 x 9.5 Offset (front & rear) Front ET 25 & Rear ET 17 Tyre Size Front 245/40/19 & Rear 275/30/19 Lowered Apex Springs Spacer sized if used 3mm on front Arch work if necessary No arch work Rear Camber -1
  22. Seems questions surrounding wheel & tyre size, offsets are frequently asked, so hoping we could start a wheel sticky of what members are using. Please no posts on theory, only experience of what you have, maybe an odd photo or two giving ideas of what they look like, mainly for offsets Info is the key here, so, how about a template: Wheel Size Offset (front & rear) Tyre Size Lowered Spacer sized if used Arch work if necessary Rear Camber
  23. I understand offsets and how to work them out, i was more thinking a practical thread of what people are actually running for future reference
  24. Although the offset is 20, you have pushed them out a further 25mm by adding the spacers, so effectively making them -5
  25. Any chance of getting a sticky up in the wheel section of an all encompassing wheel size/tyre size/offset etc if i start a thread. Seems the question is often asked so if members posted as to their set up covering: size, offset, tyre, lowered and arch work if necessary it would be a good point of reference
