    Happy with the Improvement for just a few little things. I recommend changing the Arial and LED's for anyone with a standard Z makes it look a less dated for such cheep and easy mods. Stubby was 13 quid from Tarmac sports and LEDs are like 5 pound on ebay.

  2. Day one of getting the 350 i was straight on this site so it didn't take me long to get some inspiration from you guys in modding. Haven't made this until now because tbh im just lazy.

     

    Good bye MR2

    Just started with the little things first.

     

    It wasn't the cleanest to begin with so started with the worst, the exhaust.

    Can see the difference. Used wet and dry up to about 200 grade then auto sol. Also can see the stubby at the top left thanks to Tarmac sports.

  3. The R clip in one of my rear calliper as fallen out and a few bit dropped out with it :( I managed to keep keep the piece that is cross shaped and the pin, but the R clip and something else is long gone. Break is working fine as I have something in place where the R clip should be holding the pin in. But because there is something missing I missing I have an annoying rattling/ slight metal rubbing noise. I have been to the garage they say it is not a problem as the pad that went missing is solely to stop any noise coming from the calliper. Does any one know where I could buy a kit for this, or is it a ask Nissan and get ripped off job?

  4. It will be tuff by hand depending on the depth of the scratches. If you can get your fingernail in the scratch you have no chance. Make sure the area is clean because you don't want to be rubbing in dirt as that will just cause more scratches. Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious. Clay bar would be good. As for polishing you are going to have to use a fair bit elbow grease and see how it comes up (it may take a little while so don't worry if it doesn't look much different after a few seconds). Don't be scared to use decent force you are not going to harm the paint polishing by hand. If you can get your hands on a dual action buffer you should have no problem if they aren't deep (keep away from rotary buffers if you are inexperienced using them). Hope that helps buddy, good luck!

  5. Dodo jucie do a wax for orange/yellow/red cars called orange crush I think, I haven't tried it but it has good reviews. As for polish like ekona says they don't come for colour type, but the can come come for different cutting componds (but thats just for machine polishing really). Meguiars stuff is good for polishing by hand.

  6. Anything that involves chokes, like BJJ, JUDO, SUB WRESTLING is a must if your are serious about MMA! You can hit someone with a bat and if they have enough adrenaline they'll keep coming at you! Choke the person out however and regardless of how strong and tough they are, they're going to sleep!

     

    One on one, there is no better art form than BJJ, PROVEN!!!!!

    Depending on the rules, if none i would take the side of an art along the lines of Krav Manga.

    When a martial art becomes a sport. I ceases to be a martial art, as it is a 'sport'.

    I agree in some cases, for instance I think tae-kwon-do is a bit of a joke in the Olympics but traditional style is another story.

     

    Wouldn't say Taekwondo is a bit of a joke, you are welcome to attend out Academy any time you wish

     

    and have a go with our training, let me know..!

    I didn't say it was Taekwondo was a joke i said when it gets taken to the Olympics it becomes one. I like taekwondo as a hole, especially traditional styles, but the more modernized alot of martial arts become they seem to wither abit. In the Olympics it seem to solely concentrate on getting one fast kick off and getting out the way as quick as possible. You rarely get to see the combo's and moves which some of these guys/ girls have spent years mastering. My Best friend who got to around the black belt 2nd dan i think, is the one who actually pointed this out to me and made me watch. It's not just Teakwondo but alot of martial arts. The very martial art i used to love and train Muay Thai, which mainly originated to Muay Boran. Now Muay Boran that is one serious martial art, but insanely hard to find somewhere to train it.

  8. Is this your first wash? Beacuse if it is you might not have seen them when you first bought the car, but now that you have washed it you have got a much better look. You can easly eliminate swirls with the right polish and applicator pad on a DA polisher. Just make sure that you clean your car properly before hand, and preferably clay bar it after washing to get all the dirt which is deep in the paint out. Decent wax after all that should protect the finished job. You can't really get rid of swirls from just washing the car.
