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.
MINGING!
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.
Engine bay next
From this to this
Still need a bit more work.
Next up need a good clean.
Girlfriend seems happy
Don't worry as you can see i still have the keys.
Changed some interior lights and the number plate lights so will be uploading those tomorrow.

I know my spelling is horrific. I don't even know why I wrote it like that!

Thanks, need the full kit tho I think as it's this pad thing I'm mainly missing. My explanation was a bit crap tbh sorry.
-
Worth the buy then? I'm glad it's that price and no subscription, Works out less in the long run.

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?

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!

Welcome

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.

I would cry.... Good job for being a man

Easily the best car out of the three

That's why there is no best because they all follow there own rules. Not involving death is a large factor to a lot of martial artsKrav Maga....unless you wanna draw them to death
-
Depending on the rules, if none i would take the side of an art along the lines of Krav Manga.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!!!!!

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

Don't think I will be able to make it dude sorry. Went out for my cousins stag and I have just woke up still pi**ed, with a first class hangover coming my way.

Used to do Muay Thai and a little mma. Really good fitness.

Just came across a site called Juciydetailing.co.uk the other day for all the cleaning fanatics out there, seems decent.
-
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.

All the engines are pretty much a reliable as each other, and performance is very similar too. Just depends on how well they have been kept like GMbalistic says .

Im definitely up for one of these when you get stock in

Thanks guys
Ok so for the LED upgrades i went on the more LED's the better haha
The dome light upgrade
The difference
Happy with the finished job show in the dark
Ok so licence plate LED's went on the same principle of more is better. The boot light used the same.
Difference
Finished in the dark
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.
