Hi everyone, I'm after some adjustable toe arms, the ones that replace the rear spring bucket. Second hand ideally, the only ones I've seemed to find are the really expensive (spl I think) ones, or overseas sales. Many thanks. doug

Yes mate sorted now thanks

if you still have the japspeed bumpsteer arms at the end of the month ill take them

cheers, yeh i much prefer it! alot meaner

hi everyone. been a bit alow with updating the thread with my new car colour. but yeh the new colour is black with gold flake it looks amazing, in normal light it looks just black but in direct sunlight the gold flake comes out lovely. i took the car to shelsey breakfast club on sunday and it got alot of attention even though it wasnt relly properly finished, it still needed a good mop and polish. hopefully getting the car back again tonight as my mates had it for the day and sorted out any little bits and given it a detail, mop, polish etc. so it should look even better now here are some quick pics i took on my phone.... also my takata harness's turned up today so will fit them later when i pick up the car thats all for now, still have lots of things to fit and do before drift matsuri next friday, hopefully fitting front and rear camber arms tommorow and getting aligned on saturday

Hi everyone, i have for sale a pair of roof airbags from my 2003 350z. They have been removed due to stripping out my car for roll cage and no longer need them, they are just taking up room. i have had a quick look on ebay for prices and they range from about £50 - £65 each. Im offering these for £75 for the pair. Im happy to post if i am allowed...not sure on the law of sending airbags as they are technically an explosive ?? please feel free to update my knowledge if you know better. Or if you would like to collect them that is fine too. based in worcestershire. any questions please feel free to ask. Many thanks. Doug

Haha no, Mabee I haven't described it properly..... It's kind of two colours...

Haha nope none of the above

your'e the closest so far dude lol

Nope not red...... I think you'll all just have to wait till tommorow

yeh its a shame, but i dont think i could justify $480 on a plastic spoiler haha

youve seen a real rocket bunny one you mean?

i had a quick look at the rocket bunny one...... $480 haha, its perfect though. all the reps look quite upright compared to the real ones

yeh ive seen them, but no one seems to paint them the same colour as their car, would like to see one on and matched to the paint colour....

it is not im affraid

nope sorry.......

have p.m'd you back bud! sorry nope..... not green! any more guesses ??

cheers mate, yeh definitly! once its back from the paint shop!

cheers guys

hi everyone, thought id give another quick update on how my car is coming along. the last month or so has been fairly busy but ive got round to getting quite alot done to the car for my attempt to get it ready for drift matsuri at the end of october. Finally managed to get my hyrdo fitted and plumbed in thanks to my friend martin at richards racing, hes done an excellent job, i was originally going to put in on top of the gearbox tunnel next the gearstick and cut a groove out of the plastic for the lever to stick through ( copied from another forum member) but in the end we went for on the side of the gearbox tunnel next to my left leg, as my hydro lever was quite long, it feels great and locks up perfectly, havnt actually got any photos of it mounted and my cars is not with me atm so you wil have to imagine for now. managed to get a few small sessions in at a local drift school called drift elite, the guy who runs it is a top bloke and is ver kind to let me come down and test my car out and have a bit of seat time, the first time i used my hydro whilst drifting and it was a dream, it made initiating and controlling the drift so much easier and managed to get some really nice runs pretty close to the guys teaching there! still alot to learn but really happy with how my driving is coming along. Heres the aftermath of my car after skidding on a wet airfield, took alot of cleaning to get all that s**t off. Next up was the issue with room in my 350z ( or lack of ) as i use my car quite alot on the road i didnt want to go down the trailering route, its just not the right time to be thinking about buying another vehicle, trailer and then doing my trailer test, so my next idea was to somehow utilise what room i do have in the car for wheels/tyres etc. i ended up with the idea of cutting out pretty much everything from the boot area.... including the speaker housing, strut bar and anything else that wasnt really needed. so thats what i did! I had read a few threads on people stripping out the boot area and thought it cant be as bad as they make out.... well it is, its a horrible job, literally 100's and 100's of spot welds that needed cutting out! it took the best part of 4 evenings to get it somewhere near. here are some pictures of the process ( forgive me for not taking more, most the time was spent stripping skin from my knuckles and swearing) i think thats all the photos i actually got from this, but you get the idea of how much room there actually is in there. After cutting all of that out i needed to re strengthen the car so next up was a roll cage, a good friend of mine does this for a living so it was off to his workshop for a cage to go in..... i decided to just go for a half cage for now, as my deadline for matsuri was creeping up, with the design of the cage it can be added to when i please which hopefully will be sometime next year, The plan was too loose the rear strut bar and weld in a bar across the turrets to put the strength back in, but i didnt want to cut the strut bar out untill the last minute, so i let huxley do that once he had the car in his workshop. Its a fairly basic cage but its added strength to what i had taken out and its still left lots of room to fit stuff in.... Here a few photos from the cage building....... and the finished product... Im really happy with how it came out, it was a bit of a test for hux too as he had never done a 350z cage before and said it was quite tricky with the shape of the car, but he done a great job! Thought id have a test and see what i can actually fit in the car now, and behind the seats i can fit four 18 inch wheels with tyres on and then a further two behind then, so thats going to help out alot! Id been trying to get hold of a rack for my car so i could carry extra tyres on the boot/roof but had no luck with a boofsquire or similar. I took a gamble and decided to buy a universal roof rack to see if it would fit and still be safe, i found one for £44 and much to my supprise it fits and is actually very stable, i wouldnt chance it with wheels on but for a few tyres itll be fine. I finally managed to order some camber arms too! i decided to go for the driftworks arms, they looked pretty good and the price wasnt bad either. i think the rear arms were £130 and the fronts were £155. i plan to fit these this weekend and get it all alligned either sat or sun! shiny orange goods also managed to get hold of a few style bits for my car thanks to some fellow members on the forum, a nice roof spoiler and a front lip, unfortunately parcel force are useless t**ts and managed to loose my splitter but its on its way now, and the roof spoiler turned up today so expect to see these fitted soon unfortunately the last time i saw my car was in my friends paint shop looking very dull its undergoing a full colour change and wheel centre colour change:) this is probably the most exciting thing for me atm, i was very bored of my blade silver car and have wanted to change the colour for a while. i dont think ive seen any 350z's in this colour code before but i cant wait to reveal it...... its actually a subaru paint code, my friend had an imprezza in for repairs and i fell in love with the colour as soon as i saw it in the sun! 10 points for someone if they guess it should be getting my car back on thursday with all the new aero fitted so expect lots of photos next week. the last time i saw her alot of people have been saying to me "your building a drift car, why bother painting it and making it look nice" my reply is why cant you have a nice looking drift car, sure things get scuffed and scratched, but as long as your not an idiot and drive within your limits there is no reason why you cant run a clean drift car! thats all for now, but ill keep you all updated next week, hopefully with alot more photos

I agree.... I've just de spoilered mine, but I think a ducktail would look cool .

As the title says, contemplating a ducktail spoiler........ I've found some on eBay from "epr" I think they are about £150. Can't find many pics of them on cars so if anybody's got one, please share Many thanks.doug
