Realistically the fixed back seats of fake origin should be safer than the reclining fakes but still it worries me if it's not real carbon fibre, layered incorrectly or two thin a layers of fiberglass that could still snap/bend in half during a rear end collision.
Personally I'd rather have a genuine set of FIA approved cheap seats then any high end non FIA approved fakes. No matter how good they look as seats are for safety imo and not looks.
Found a video below showing the possible dangers of the fake recliner type seats.
Definitely agree with you there ~ it's only a matter of time before someone get's pushed to far and it all explodes.
Unfortunately for the cyclists it's not going to end well for them as shown below in a horrific incident that happened in Brazil I think it was..
Does seem like this thread isn't going to work, ,,,or isn't working.
At least we gave it a go but it's down to the mods now to make a decision to whether it goes or stays.
Just fyi have spotted a bike rack for sale on here; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88544-350z-bike-rack/
It is advertised as for a 350Z so unsure if it will fit on the 370Z but can't hurt to ask the seller if you're interested.
Well locally around Cardiff you do see some of these to**ers riding them illegally on School fields and even the roads so yeah you're right.
Lottey win then I'd definitely like one of Hauk Designs great looking Wranglers.
You're best bet is to send him a PM as he'll also get an email to let him know you've messaged him.
Just hover your cursor over cs2000's user name on his profile and you'll see the "send message" icon pop up. I know he was winding down on these kits but he may still have a few in stock so worth asking.
^^ Nice.
How bout this,
...I can see it being useful in Canada.
We better stop this though.
The other members will go off their nuts when they see what's happened to the stance thread whilst they where sleeping otherwise. StevoD's gonna have kittens.
Took me awhile to find this; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/37074-bikes-the-awesome-kind-with-no-engines/page__st__1300
Maybe try asking the question in there or sending a PM to a fellow 370 owner/cyclist to see what they do if you don't get many responses here.
The only thing I've read regarding fake seats, Brides or other reclining type seats, is to do with where they are fixed together. Apparently on some of the fakes the metal used is either far to weak or so thin that it will snap in half during an accident.
Whether this holds true for all is unknown but obviously some will be made better than others.
Not trying to put a downer though on your Faux Brides A9H-RX but just be safe mate.
350 Owner here but found these images from google...
Personally I would never ruin the look of a beautiful car like the 370Z with a bike rack but then I'm not a cyclist. Good luck with your search. Pictures show you they are out there.
I have partaken in smoking cigars in the past yes ~ mainly King Edwards as that's what my old man used to smoke so where easy to pinch.
Also Hamlets from the pub bar as that's all they stocked.
If you ever fancy stopping you could always get an electric cigar...
They also do electric pipes as well nowadays.
