Those Ce28's come up for sale 2nd hand quite often, but usually in the 18" variety Very nice wheel

Very easy to change being split rims, which i could get done if you like

If you like Volk Racing GT-C's, i will have a set of 19's coming up for sale in less than a week, been powdercoated in gloss back inc the lips

Image below is just for an idea of style.

V6 CVH, i have a personal dislike of number plates that are supposed to spell something but actually dont

I had Federal Rsr's on my Rx7 for track days, somewhere in between sticky road tyres and 888's, but at £170 for a 265/35 from Camskill i thought they were excellent value for money.

Hi all,

 

Just fitting some Tein S Tech springs and on the front there are some brown plastic 'protectors', covering parts of the springs.

 

Never seen anything like this before - does anyone know what they're for? Did you leave them on or take them off (they simply clip on).

 

I have always left them on, dont ask me what they are for or do though

I have to say, I am not a massive fan at all of these wheels. For that money you could get a really nice set of volks! Just saying lol

+1, i think they look very average and bland, beauty is in the eye of the beholder though

Hi, the wheels I've recently put on my car are fitted with 235/35 - 19 and 275/30 -19 and I've not had any problem with the TC light or noticed any difference in speedo readings - certainly nothing noticeable.

 

My daily commute includes a 40 and 50mph stretch of road and if I set the cruise control to 40 or 50 resopectively, I'm not going any faster or slower than other drivers (asuming they're also sticking to the speed limit).

Thanks buddy, you have made my day

It would seem the profile is slightly lower than recommended, looks like 35's & 40's are more commonly used in the widths mentioned.

I have a very nice set of the 30 & 35 profile in Yokohama Advan Sports with loads of tread from a good friend.

Apart from the speedo reading below, would you forsee any problems?

Does anyone know where the speedo drive is taken from, front or rear wheels?

Give us some clues What sort of style, what sort of money etc

You could build a Rx7 for about 50p these days, they are breaking them left right and centre as their value has just gone and unfortunately having just moved from Rx7's, the community is getting...well shall we say, Impreza like.

The Supra is about the only jdm sports car from that era that is holding its value.

I said to the Rx7 specialist i use, the only way i would ever get back into one is if it was built from scratch, new everything, ironically he has an absolutely brand new shell he bought from Mazda sat in his workshop for sale, very tempting One day, but not until their is some value in them again.

£90 postage

I am guessing that is down to value.

Paisley freight do 19" wheels and tyres for a shade over £40

Just nasty imho

Haha don't put these thoughts in my head! Got a black zed too so they'd look ace....

Well its good to see someone recognises style and class (apart from the black on black, lol )

Oh my... Wish I'd waited for these instead of buying black alloys.... Pink is SOOOO my colour, and it would stop the other half pinching my car so much....

There are always solutions Sell your black ones and buy these, lol, wont have the front lips back for a week so gives you time

I went to my local AV guy

Of course he did, lol, he wants to sell you something I have no interest in your money as i wont see any of it, so giving you in my opinion, an honest appraisal from being on both sides of the fence! I would bet i could sit you in a car with chinese or branded, same speakers and same amp and you wouldnt tell the difference.

No longer for sale

Not a massive fan of F1 for the very reasons outlined by everyone else posts.

I care not which team wins the constructors title, i want to see the best driver win, not the best team.

I dont think any of us will truly know if Webber did have the pace to win, if you take what has been said as gospel that Webber turned the engine down expecting not to be challenged, then Vettels actions were an absolute disgrace.

There is a very simple answer to this, no car to pit intercom, rely on the old fashioned pit board, the only info a racing driver should need is, position, lap and time splits. Or at the very least, a button to press to say you will be in for tyres next lap or vice versa from the pits to car.

I also dont like the fact there is so much run off in F1, not to say it should be dangerous, but they can often make quite big mistakes with little punishment to their lap times.

F1 is far to controlled and regimented imho.

I wont turn this into a bike vs car discussion and although the MotoGp has been relatively boring the last few seasons with regard to on track battles, we do generally see the best rider win.

Roll on some changes to let us see the best car and driver win.

Cant help with the injectors but wanted to say, good on you for experimenting, hope it works out for you. The Mx5 boys love Eaton chargers

Audio isnt as good as branded, but run a decent amp and its just great as its the amp producing the sound, not the head unit.

 

The head unit sends the signal to the amp though. Bad signal = Bad quality.

Obviously with your details in your signature you are an audiophile Each to their own and like you, i have spent £1000's on high end audio and countless days rewiring entire systems in previous cars. But for me and most people, chinese units will provide more than good enough sound for the average ear and happily work for years without problem in my experience which is basically what the op is asking.

I have had two of the ebay Chinese units, one double din, one single din with flip out screen, so from experience not conjecture:

GPS is equally as good as a TomTom and simple postcode entry.

Menus operate perfectly.

Display is perfectly adequate for dvds, daylight viewing etc

Bluetooth is good for phones, better with external mic.

Fully loaded with everything you could want and more.

My double din is still going strong after 3 years, now in my nephews car if anyone doubts reliability and flip out screen one never cause any problems and its on its second year.

Customer service was 2nd to none also, when i first got the double din the sd card for the maps was faulty, had one sent to my door within 3 days.

Audio isnt as good as branded, but run a decent amp and its just great as its the amp producing the sound, not the head unit. In the past i have spent days installing high end audio and came to the conclusion whatever you did or spent (within reason) you were always battling against the worst environment possible to try and replicate quality sound. So, for what these provide i personally couldnt be happier.

Hi no problem - see pics in this thread http://www.350z-uk.c...-tonneau-cover/

 

Yes it is OEM it has two push studs securing the ends and then two tabs/clips which should "mate" with holes in the hatch section of the boot. I haven't got the one for sale with me today but I have another one fitted in my new zed (hence having one for sale) so i can go and take more pics at lunch if you like.

Thanks, looks good, could i just get a picture with the bootlid shut please

I like a little stretch as hate the look of square sidewalls, even though that is perhaps better for the tyre. Just a gentle curve is perfect

How does the boot cover fit it place, is it oem. Excuse the questions i am new to Zeds.

I think any colour other than black or a standard car and probably other styles of wheel and it would look wrong. I'm usually boring when it comes to wheels and only like silver or anthracite but if you achieve "that look" I might be persuaded. Of the colours suggested so far the house of colour purple is the best

I do like black wheels and silver, but imho, black wheels has just been done to death. Particularly now manufacturers do black options. Hence why i went wild on my Rezax and want to do something a little off beat and not the norm. The right colour however is a difficult one to get right, but am liking the kandy purple.

Also looked at a green in a similar kandy but think that may be a bit too much.
