Spotted last night about 8pm roughly I'd say.

I was coming down Danes Hill (towards Strand) just past the speed camera as the road goes downhill.

Saw you at the bottom waiting to come out of Dial Road.

Was dark and had only a second as it rolled into side view.

Silver Zed (not roadster) with Rays alloys, standard looking, possibly facelift

Welcome along! Get some pics up

Insert -private road- to validate going 150mph in one of your examples will not go down well on here, all I'm going to say.

Cue high-ranking members delivering justice any moment now...

Good to see you've got a progress thread up and going

Watching this one

Got my bits ordered, cheers Tarmac

Yes! Bonnet dampeners here I come then

You have pm Tarmac

Welcome, very nice Where abouts in Kent are you?

 

Carterbury area, you?

 

Gillingham / Twydall area buddy

 

I did the refit at twydall post office recently lol

Nice, we're a tiny community with only a few decent shops, so kudos to you for improving the postie

Car looks great mate, best colour touring wheels in black look good too!

Had the same problem as you, bought a pair of LEDs elsewhere last year and had to return them for small corner damage! As you say though these things happen, Clarke will sort you out I'll have to wait a while for mine...

Welcome, very nice Where abouts in Kent are you?

Gillingham / Twydall area buddy

His name is Jay, lives in Walderslade I believe

Username is J4YPS on here but he doesn't come on much I don't think

Welcome, very nice Where abouts in Kent are you?

Think this guy lives in my area, seen him quite a few times when I go to work in the mornings from Tesco roundabout>dual carriageway>M2 where we part

Didn't notice the mods you mentioned though as he always seems to be in a rush and I'm always driving slow first thing in the morning

I've got the Brodit mount matey

Looks oem, good location for vision and no rattling or shaking when driving

With this you can either buy a dedicated Brodit clip on for your phone or stick on a generic one

Can't remember how much it was though

Quite why people fit an intake that can suck its air from within the engine bay, instead of outside the car I don't know.

Then you've got those that mention "well it's worth it for the sound"

- However - If you have an aftermarket exhaust (or plan to...zeditus will ensure this) you will never hear an induction noise over a screaming V6 backbox!? Baffling...my thoughts anyway

Anyway good luck Pritchard

Interested to see the results!

The guys at Abbey are great

Mark also showed me the intake temps whilst I was there, we compared my standard box with drop-in filter / velocity stack versus a previous days car fitted with a K&N typhoon, the gradual increase in heat on the typhoon was ridiculous compared to the standard box which consistently dropped temp levels and never built up/increased heat steadily like the typhoon. All interesting stuff to know when you want the car running the best it can

I'm in for a set

Make it 8 for the lights

If this does go ahead I'm certain the moment it gets it's own official page 'Rear LED Lights Group Buy' another load of people will see it and jump on it too...

*Temper Orange

 

 

Also, driving like an absolute c*ckweasel

Cheers Ekona,

What's the difference between the two colours? they both look exactly the same except Solar Orange was introduced for the 07 onwards?

I just don't understand, perhaps it's a local thing...but whenever I encounter a fellow 350z / 370z (not a common occurrence) as soon as they clock me boom, 'reckless' mode is engaged.

From there they either want to catch up and kiss your bumper or risk their life - and others - to outpace and get away from you to prove what?

and there's me just driving normally, wanting to go side-by-side and give a nod...it's never happened

Was actually spotted a couple of months back but forgot to post this spot

What reminded me was this morning when he flew past me on the M2 at silly speeds and also tailgating (almost bumper touching) some poor bugger over taking reasonably in the outside lane, there's just no need

so I thought I'd post this up to show off their parking skills too:

Other than that I REALLY like the colour

Dibs on the Tein bonnet damper set...providing I don't have to cut anything?

Good figures bud. As for the wheels, I love those, go for it!

I want those allys nice figures too!!

Cheers guys, happy with the figures

Cant wait to test these wheels out! Standard touring alloys are quite plain and heavy...

Haven't been on this for a while...

Few updates recently to report on, mods and maintenance

New FK453s tyres on the fronts were fitted - so far they have been great

New brake pads all round fitted and bedded in properly

Panel filter and box cleaned out and Flyboys 06 velocity stack mod fitted

Random entry pic from a Brands Kleers meet a few months ago, managed to make my car look cleaner than it actually is!

Still filthy though

Lastly I got down to the guys at Abbey for a remap, great service by the way

Mark said it was a good one and made 263whp and 244 torque

When asked for ‘pub bhp’ figures he said it was a comfortable 300bhp which I am more than happy with

Either way numbers weren’t my main concern, the car drives so much better than before which is what I wanted. It’s more eager and lively in the lower gears for definite with more pull throughout the rev range, this I noticed the most

Mark also let me sit in on part of the mapping process for the last 30mins and explained to me all the workings, clever stuff

Gladly after a year of ownership I can say I’m almost done but I fear this zeditus will never end...just coilovers and new wheels to go!

Wheels are actually in progress currently…I'm toying up using my brother’s old wheels from his S14, only 2 survived intact so it means I only need to buy 2 more which would work out quite cheap for some new shoes.

My existing tyres (fairly new) will fit with some nice stretch. They are XXR 527 alloys in gold…

Test fitting these at the weekend, here are some pictures of them on the bro's S14

Thoughts? go for it?

I recognise those seats from a Corsa VXR, probably in other cars too I guess

Were great in the VXR, very comfy and properly hold you in real shame they both don't fit...

Ahhh missed this, was very ill at the weekend

Did manage to get up to Abbey for mapping on saturday, other than that bed bound!

Will make time for the next one you guys meet up

+1 in Gillingham / Twydall too

Should have a little Medway meetup one night, sure i'll be around
