  1. So on my 15 mile trip to work through country lanes I spotted a silver import on St johns road clacton. Then a gunmetal HR roadster going past frating car auctions. Then another silver DE going towards wheely. I waved at all of you and none of you waved back ! :( all sported between 09.45 and 10.30am

  2. Hello starting a build thread to keep all my cars history in one place.

     

    So in May 2014 I turned 21 and decided to treat my self to a Z. I was met with many people saying your mad due to my unlucky situation with previous cars. My car history is as follows:

     

    MG ZR (Crashed)

     

    MG ZR (Someone Crashed into me)

     

    MG TF ( Crashed at 80mph lucky to be alive)

     

    MG ZR (SURVIVED) :clap:

     

     

     

    As soon as I had turned 21 I was scouring autotrader and ebay all day waiting for the right one to come up. I found one I liked at tradelink went to view it but was appalled at the service they provided so I walked.

     

    Fast forward one week and I had found one in the town where I used to live. A black 05 GT Zed took her for a test drive and fell in love. We soon agreed a price and the day after I went to collect her. The drive home was amazing ! The amount of power was staggering compared to my 1.4l MG. I was hooked addicted to the noise.

     

    Got her home safely :lol: via Halfords who at the time were doing 3 for 2 on all autoglym products including kits. I walked out with this

    I soon got to work giving her a lovely shine that I could see my ugly mug in.

    I then went for a quick photoshoot around my local area (Clacton)

    3 Months on and I had caught the bug I needed more noise so after listening to countless youtube sound clips I settled on a Cobra Non-Res from CS.

    Shiney :D

     

    The car sounds much better now and has even set off a parked car alarm in the middle of town :teeth:.

     

     

    Soon after that LED bulbs were purchased from autobulbsdirect and were swiftly changed over.

    Very happy with the result.

     

    On to January 05 and she needed a service so after asking around and being told to go to Kaiser off I popped at 6 in the morning to get there in time. WRONG the A12 was a nightmare and a journey that should have taken 1hour 45mins took me 3 hours ! Sly was very understanding and got to work straight away advising me that an engine and fuel system flush was recommended so I agreed and off he popped. Whilst sitting in the waiting room I was gobsmacked by the amount of certificates he had up on the wall which in turn filled me with confidence. P3 serivce completed and up onto the Hunter Hawkeye system which was very cool.

    Wheels all aligned properly all that was left was an MOT. Whilst I was waiting to leave for my MOT a guy turns up in a 1000BHP NIssan GTR! So we got talking and an hour flew by. MOT time and fingers crossed she would be ok. She sailed through no advisory's at all.

     

    So after that had all been finished I set off for home excited to go through the Dartford tunnel. The Cobra really did sound brilliant going through there and I had a few lads in a M3 give me a nod.

     

    After pay day a decided to do some small mods and ordered some "z" wheel caps from Asad, A stubby aerial from Steve at Redline and some 350z forum stickers. I fitted them today and love the wheel caps.

    So far so good.

     

    List of mods Id like to do as follows:

     

    V2 Bumper with canards

    Spoiler

    HFC's

    Nismo spats

    Diffuser

    Roof Spoiler

    Wheel Spacers

    Lowering

    Window Tints.

     

    I'm sure that list will get bigger.

     

    Thanks for looking
