  1. Another member is selling this forward facing sub set up which tbh is a bl**dy bargain with the speakers as well but he is open to offers. Maybe a bit OTT for what you're after but thought I'd give you a heads up. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97172-350z-triple-10-inch-subwoofer-enclosure/ Welcome aboard James btw.
  2. I know lot's of people have had their engine covers done so it can withstand some heat yes. Not sure how much but if it's just the engine cover, battery/brake fluid cover tops, strut bar ends etc then it will be no problem.
  3. I think she should get he job after all the insults and death threats, but doubt she would want it now, absolutely shocking comments, total scum Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Lovely little dog. I actually much prefer small dogs. Such a joy to have though whatever their size.
  5. Never easy and I hate looking for jobs, ...congratulations and good luck.
  6. Zed look's great on track and glad you all had a good time.
  7. Personally I wouldn't spend money like that on a car I intended to sell and would just deduct what I thought it may cost to get sorted from the cost of the sale. I know it's probably a difficult thing to decide though as a lot of buyers, unreasonably imo, expect to buy a second hand car & it still be like new. At the end of the day though if you think you can get an extra £1k for the car with these things repaired and it only costs you £700 odd to get it done then obviously you're £300 up so it might be worth at least getting some quotes for the repair work from some body shops first just to see how much it will actually cost.
  8. My hydro dipped parts look as good now as the day I fitted them (I'm careful with keys in my hand mind & don't wear rings). Basically they prep your part, spray it with a primer & base coat of paint, dip it in a water filled tank with your chosen pattern on a sheet that when it's sprayed with an activator liquefies, then once it's dried they use a clear lacquer over the part to protect the finish. Bound to be a company local to you that will do it or you can usually post the parts for dipping at various companies around the UK. A local company called AquaGraphix did mine. They're a forum trader on here now too. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/227-aquagraphix/
  9. If only Clarkson had punched that guy one week later we'd have seen it already.
  10. I haven't used either of these but you're probably going to be looking at some brake pads from "EBC" then I'd guess or "Black Diamond" if you want a slight upgrade over OEM on a budget. Still it's hard for me to recommend them as I haven't tried them but still just showing you some options available. Link for Black Diamond from the Cougar Store: http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7_6&products_id=101&zenid=bcaa60565806895c2c0f2d2ff1b32aee Link for EBC red stuff from Horsham Developments: http://www.h-dev.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=78_169_293_463_465_1414&products_id=6612 I have used EBC green stuff pads on a car over a decade ago and they where ok compared to OEM but tbh they're not the best. On my 350 I use Ferodo DS2500 brake pads which are excellent but then they're around £100 odd a set so might be a little over your budget right now.
  11. Would love to see the footage they've got especially from Japfest last year.
  12. How to remove the centre console/dash here for you Miller. Link: http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/dash_removal/ Yep that's hydro dipped Adrian. Got my door pulls done and it was worth every penny. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86048-hydro-dipped-interior-parts-door-pulls-grab-handle/
  13. How else do you expect me to eat my food?
  14. The Spare is not looking too chipper . . so will be two new ones at a minimum . . . . $300 each + fitting, balancing and TAX etc Ohhh not cheap. You could get some MPSS for that price although not sure on the off road capabilities of them.
  15. If you just want a slight drop then the Tein lowering springs maybe the way you'd want to go (Eibach springs give more of a drop though if that's what you want). Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/78817-tein-s-tech-springs-in-stock-for-350z-15599-delivered/ Can't imagine it would take a garage all that long to do the springs. Maybe 2 hrs tops at a guess.
  16. is that the only time Yep the rest of the time I swallow.
  17. Are you saying you've had all those car's over 12 months? Hope you enjoy the Zed and keep it longer than the others then.
  18. When you meet people like that driving Cook just let the k**b carry on & just don't get baited into driving like that too (not saying you did or having a go at you btw ). It will not end well for that guy one day... If you want to drive fast keep it on the track imo.

    Blue rays?

    Don't forget to post some pictures afterwards if you can. I for one would love to see how the colours contrast.
  20. Just to add to what Rob said Rich, ....when I first got my 350 I had a few "minor" issues with going from 1st to 2nd gear and 5th to 6th gear. I took it to another trader on here (because they are closer to me than Abbey) to have my gearbox oil changed & Molyslip added at the same time. Instant improvement over what it used to be like and worth every penny.
