  1. Or if you just want to buy tips and speak to Unky K nicely: https://www.longlife.co.uk/dealer-tailpipes
  2. Not really, if you went out in the dry and braked as hard as you could, i bet you could lock the brakes and get the abs kicking in, so if your locking the wheels a pad and disc wont change that as youve reached the limit of adhesion, its as efficient as it gets at that point, hopefully that makes sense. A decent pad and disc though will vastly improve feel and fade.
  3. Go for those then, dont worry about what we like as we will all have different tastes.
  4. Pads and discs wont help you stop any quicker, but they will increase feel and less fade. I settled on a set of mtec j hook discs and ferrodo ds2500 pads, very happy with that set up on road and track.
  5. This. It's a comparison tool. Dynos are are a tuning tool.
  6. Not so sure I go along with like for like, I bet a set of rotas, invidia gemini exhaust or aftermarket bumpers for example cost less than oem options, but your policy will likely be loaded if you have them, shouldnt it cost less if your parts are less expensive to buy?
  7. My mate pays £2k, so no idea how you manage that, kind of blows your theory of expensive parts out the water
  8. It wont be cheap to insure a 458 for example, so they do pay, but a high risk driver will also be loaded in case they hit such a car, trouble is to me, its just expensive full stop, high risk or not and the more expensive it gets, the less will be insured, viscous circle.
  9. Depends if you think or thought the car lacked performance before you saw that number. If the answer is no, why you worried about what a piece of paper says.
  10. I wouldnt pay much attention to figures from a dyno day, if the car drives ok and you were happy when you drove there, just consign to the bin.
  11. Pretty sure they will be el gauge face plates.
  12. ^^^ Exactly, try anything you like, alarmed, not alarmed, garaged or not garaged, if will make little difference it seems. Basically we are paying for the people that dont have insurance and scam whiplash claims, i am genuinely staggered by my insurance at 46, 9 years + no claims, plenty of "experience" with driving these vehicles, no points/convictions, no accidents, garaged, living in one of the safest postcodes.
  13. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blitz-style-boot-Spoiler-for-Nissan-350z-2003-2009-high-quality-fibreglass-/262804685556?hash=item3d306142f4:g:hRIAAOxyc2pTZQJv
  14. I run mixed track tyres at the moment for the same reason op, i have no issues, the zzr's are comparable to the 888's in grip levels, you will be fine
  15. 16 or 22, have two 16mm here but in purple, seller sent the wrong one, twice, lol
  16. Try a comparison site with a postcode from a "safe" area, i bet it doesnt make the difference you think it will. I have just had to pay MORE for my Nissan Elgrand than i did for a supercharged 350z with some free track days.
  17. Yer cause your car has looked the same for 2 days in a row That long, he must have been under the weather
  18. The world is your oyster, but, all will be dependent on budget. Try www.jdmdistro.com for some proper dishy wheels or if your budget doesnt stetch, jr racing, varrstoen, xxr etc etc, but you will generally only get average dish.
  19. Try zmanalex or Jon at Emperor, both traders on here
  20. Happy birthday mate, hope this years outings are a success
  21. The 370z hardly flew off the shelves with its rwd, big engine and sports car looks, cant see the replacement being similar at all, I suspect a small capacity turbo charged engine with hybrid drivetrain to "boost" its output and emissions figures, all said with a heavy heart of course but what us minority would like wont drive the market.
  22. I think from memory Jack increased mine by 3mm diameter
  23. Its probably just cost, I.e they cant do both, lets assume to do a rb kitted 350z properly with decent wheels that fit without spacers and paint, not wrap, you got to be looking at 15k, so to add the performance, forced induction and forged engine another 15k plus the cost of the car, a 350z is going to stand you in at £35k, I dont think there are many people who would spend that on a 350. Like the colour, brave choice, hope he gets the wheels right to pull it off
