  1. 1.06.715 Roma : great time stu, that last sector needs a steady hand! 1.41.972 Monaco 1.28.727 trail mountain if my maths is right! Badly timed shot!

    Envy?

    Ah fiddlesticks. RHD Japan can get them at £450 plus £200 shipping, but then tax will take that near £900 all in, which is a lot of money to feed a badly placed speedbump! Maybe I need to find something similar, I'm particularly drawn to the way it flexes up in the middle, I'm sure others do that as nicely.
  3. Very much a work in progress, with some great help from Mark... there'll be some better pics coming when I find my proper camera, and the bodyworks a bit run down right now

    Envy?

    I'm still hunting for a Varis front lip for my DE, and i hear many people suggesting Envy but that's not enough to go on for google! Has anyone got a link to them, are they still in business?
  5. My old school mate works at the KFC. And by mate I dont mean mate. If its his shift I'd love the priceless look as a bunch of zeds turn up and I casually ask him if he's got a new car yet. I'll come say hi on Friday, I'll be driving over from Crewe where I work so I'd be knackered anyway. There's a good pub in the village of Whiston up the road from the hotel
  6. Question on the itinerary: any ideas on places to go for food on Friday? I'm local and I know some good pubs :-)

    Do Wings work?

    Sorry for the late reply, but I'll put this one to bed! Most cars produce high rear lift. A spoiler can and often does reduce rear lift, either directly on the spoilers blade, or via upstream effects: Direct: a wing shaped cross section can generate low velocity at its tip followed by high flow acceleration on its lower edge, reducing static pressure and proving a downwards force. The same can apply inversely to the upper surface. Indirect: the spoiler blocks the flows path and causes stagnation. This increases static pressure on the surfaces ahead of the spoiler- the boot lid and rear glass. Higher static pressure here pushes the rear downwards. This is the most likely gain from these aftermarket parts, the wing cross sections are usually shite from tuner parts!! In terms of drag, it's hard to say the effect, the balance of upwards and downwash behind the car affect the way pressure is recovered behind it and can lead to large or smaller wakes Source: I'm an actual aerodynamicist for Bentley motors
  8. Stoke self service garage is decent, did my own cat delete and y pipe install
  9. This makes me sad, I don't have a garden! Then again the only wildlife in Crewe is the indigenous Greasy Haired tit. Love the pics, hope the birds dont dive bomb your cars
  10. Mid pipe sold Back box + brand new flange still available. I think the box is stamped 2011 so fairly new, shame the OEM flanges were made of some kind of emmental....
  11. I thought he wanted the GT version. Yep, I didn't realise they do two! The GT one is just mean!
  12. i'll take the steering controls mate edit - steering controls, just read your entire post...
  13. Oops, forgot. I'll bash in some laps tomorrow and update all 3. I was a tenth shy at Spa, which I'm happy to blame on using a controller instead of a wheel! Nowhere near on Matterhorn though
  14. I'm after an original / good quality copy of a Varis front lip or Amuse GT front bumper for my DE 350z. If anyone has any contacts that can source them there's a beer in it for you! I appreciate these just don't come around every day...
  15. Well I was dedicated to finding the quickest way to cut the corners! Theres a skill to it!
  16. I'd take the controls on their own if you're interested.
  17. 1:47.724 on RBR but cheating lots! The game says it's ok to invent a new turn 1!
  18. Yes and certainly. Prices above are including postage
  19. A silly question, but have you accidentally turned the brightness all the way down?
  20. I can't say specifically as I don't have a 370z, but on my 350z: Mounted camera into the towing eye cutout panel Some filler and a small lip had to be made to hold it in place (the camera is a flush mounted type and lacks a flange. This is more hassle but the camera isn't as noticeable one its installed) There's a feed to go to your reversing light power cable, this detects a change in current when your reverse light comes on, and triggers the camera I didn't fit mine myself, but I watched a shop fit it and got hands on. So there's all the advice I can offer! We swapped for a flanged camera (ebay special, crap quality vs this one) whilst fitting because I am planning to change my rear bumper for one without a towing cap cover. I'm being honest and saying the issue with this camera is it's a PAIN to mount properly but it's worth it for: a) better quality image than any other camera i've see especially at night b ) it looks more discrete when fitted.
  21. Sorry but no, I'd never sell the rest on its own!
  22. As the title says. airbox has a sub-1000 mile air filter in it and is £35 delivered, and intake pipe is £20 delivered. I'll knock a fiver off either for collections from Crewe.
