Now my centre pipe has snapped, I'm looking at replacing everything back from the y-pipe for a nicer system - currently deciding between the Cobra and the Scorpion systems for around the £400 mark. Couple of questions though - A lot of ebay sellers claim free postage- has anyone had any experience of buying these from eBay as opposed to a reputable seller? Or am I better going with a firm known to the forum? Do any offer free delivery? Do these things generally come WITH the necessary gaskets? My emissions will be unaffected come MOT time, right? Appreciate any advice from traders or customers alike

I'll take those mate!

Can't see it on Halfords website - no UK stockists on Plastidip's website either. Gonna order a can online and see how I get on!

Yeah, I considered Plastidip...do you have any experience with it? What's it like to work with? And it peels off again after if you need it to, is that right? Also - does any shop stock it, or is it online purchase only?

So I'd like black badges front and rear - but don't really want to drop £50 ish on a pair of badges - is there any reason I can't remove and paint the regular ones I've got? Was thinking g a bit of etch primer and matt black would sort it... Anyone had any success with the cheapo method?

I regularly spot 2 Z's passing by the train station around 9am most days, at least one sporting Rays, both very clean cars, anyone on here?

Cheers all - I recently found a very cheap reseller of AG stuff, so I'll see if they've got this in...and I think I need a stiff-ish brush of some sort to really get in there! Previous owner has also tried to spray the seats with orange paint, so I've got my work cut out here! Will post results as I get them at the weekend!

I've got a 53 plate Z - and after 10 years, the leathers looking a bit....grubby. So , I purchased some ArmorAll leather wipes, which, with a LOT of pressure, moved a lot of the muck from the seats, but not all. I'm still left with ground-in dirt that I'm sure, with the right product, will lift out. I'm looking for something that's a bit more...aggressive? than the leather wipes. Has anyone here been in a similar predicament with their bright orange seats, and what products have you used?

Going to be doing mine soon, did you manage to get the vinyl right into the bottom of the handle on the drivers side? And if yes, how?

So I've owned her a couple of weeks, and queries are starting to form about certain things, nothing too major but if someone can help, great...! Headlight Washers - are they supposed to be aimed so high they wet the windscreen too? IS THIS NORMAL? Gearbox - 1st and 2nd are a bit stiffer and harder to push into place? IS THIS NORMAL? Bluetooth - I have the BT adapter, pairs with the iPhone 4 great, makes/receives calls - can I use voice commands, and what are they? Thanks in advance guys and gals!

Welcome!

Welcome Leo!

Yeah, get to Cosford and sit in mine 6'2" here and no issues...

Good Morning!

Welcome - and post pics!!

I nearly rang your doorbell so I could have a look inside! Never mind, job done now - see you around these parts, be hard to miss you...!

I am...how did you guess? Unless...your Zed is the one I've been seeing round here! I recognise you're mr2 pic. I used to live in the flats just down from you. Mines a sunset orange NO WAY. I was talking about you to a neighbour after he spotted me waxing the new motor - I actually had a quick peek around yours before you moved, kinda sealed the decision to buy one! (Didn't linger too long, in case you thought I was nicking it) In fact you pulled out in front of me 2 weeks ago whilst I was in the MR2, near CO-OP! Nice exhaust. You going to Cosford? Would make sense to convoy if you are...!

I am...how did you guess? Unless...your Zed is the one I've been seeing round here!

Cheers guys - would definitely like to come to the Cosford thing and meet a few people (as I know no-one!) - not sure about the paintball tho! @Dave - yeah you're not far from me at all, hope to see you there! @Lee - I work in Sheffield sometimes and am currently driving the Zed there as much as possible, may be able to swing by in a week or so? bronze - you ain't kidding, would love some tips as I love keeping my cars looking niiiiice!

Hi there- wanted to introduce myself, as I've just bough an 03 350Z GT! I've owned a couple of  sportier cars, a 205 GTi a few years back and I've just upgraded from a 1997 MK2 MR2 which I'm now in the process of selling! Only been looking for about 3 weeks when I came across the below example, picked her up on Monday and cannot quite believe how much car I've bought- this thing is incredible! Have already removed various tacky stickers and fake Carbon fibre trim, future mods planned are all cosmetic- vinyl wrap some scruffy interior plastics, then black wheels and window tints... Was pleasantly surprised to find a Bluetooth kit and pop charger in there that wasn't even mentioned in the ad! I've already got questions and will be asking advice, but have been lurking a whole and like the community! I'm in Chesterfield, any members or meets nearby? Edit- why is attaching pics greyed out on here
