  2. But I am a a big fan of that diffuser/valance u got on there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Each to their own people.... Each to their own. That's a very nice example bababongles but just not my cup of tea. Too subtle for me lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Well firstly show. Then go. But before all of that... A service 😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Haha those rims are epic! I really want the roadster but just need a bit more convincing really. Really wanna see some roadster show cars. Aesthetics are really important to me so what really looking to take away from this post is the potential of roadsters. So how it looks with a wide arch and various other kits etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Oooo another quick question.... Is there such thing as a roadster with the GT pack? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Still getting used to using tapatalk so not sure on how To view Amy's car via the app yet. I do like the modifiedcartrader.com one and the black one after that with all the graphics and stickers. I'm just trying to see how much potential there is for the Roadster before making my decision Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hi all, I'm stuck between choosing a 350z roadster or coupe. Now, the coupe looks waaaay better than the roadster but I've always wanted a roadster for the 20 or so days of summer we get here in Britain. Now there's the whole "in your face" modifications and the "subtle" modifications (aesthetics that is). I'm more of a "in your face" modifications kind of guy. So a big fan of huge spoilers and wide arches etc. I've seen so many awesome 350z coupes done up really nicely (aesthetics). But I've not seen any roadsters heavily modified looks wise. So was wondering if all you roadster owners could post a pick of your roadster please so that my choice stays as a roadster. Make sense? Thanks in advance, Aminul Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Oh cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I really hate to sound like a noob here but what's an uprev in simple terms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. First off, I'd like to apologise for causing a fracas here. That was never my intention. Secondly, I'm afraid I have to agree with Shane on this one. I wouldn't class a service as a 'mod'. Although I don't agree with the way he's getting his points across. But nonetheless I appreciate the help and I think there's just been a lack of sleep communication here. I currently have a Toyota celica 190. The essential aftermarket upgraded parts modifications on the car would be upgrade the engine mounts, gear bushings, and a few other mechanical parts. These are things which are prone to break/really @*!# quality from factory. So the question I'm asking is, what parts of the Zed should I consider UPGRADING first? Perhaps the clutch when it dies out as I heard the stock ones are pretty shite? Perhaps some braided Brake lines coz the stock ones aren't good enough? Everyone get my 'drift' now 😜?

  12. Hi All, Considering getting a 350Z roadster facelift towards the end of the year. Was just wondering what the 'essential' first mods should be? For example, I recently learnt that the clutch is very weak on these cars? what would be an upgrade for the stock clutch etc... Thanks in advance, Aminul
  13. Wow. But then I live in London. I pay 1400 a year fully comp on my 1.8 celica atm
  14. Fair enough, if that's what works for you, I must confess time has rarely been a consideration for me. I'm somewhat surprised that, as a professional, you don't adopt the the well versed "start with the least aggressive and work your way up" mantra though. Sorry I may not have been clear in my last post so this may be a little confusing. I do use the method of using the least aggressive method to get the job done. But if I'm doing a car which has just left the show room, then i know that there is a good amount of factory clear coat on the paint for me to play around with. Although I'd still measure the paint thickness. BMW's for example have an absolute solid paint from my experience. So I wouldn't necessarily need to "work my way up" as from experience, once I know that the factory clear coat is there on a BMW, I can grab my rupes 21 and MF cutting pad and get on with it. Whereas if I'm working on a classic rare car, then I'd measure the paint before even considering compounding and polishing. And from there I'd use the least aggressive method and work my way up. So it sum it up, if I'm working on a car which has factory paint, and I've worked on the same manufacteur car, the paint strength (soft or hard) tends to be consistent through all the cars of that make. As stated above, bmw's have solid paint from my experience. Hondas and a lot of Japanese cars have soft paint. I'd adjust my methods accordingly. Although this thread is starting to go off topic so do PM me if you'd like to discuss more or let's start another thread. I love it when a good intelligent debate sparks as with everything else in life, we learn new things on a daily basis
  15. Just out of interest, how many Z's have you worked on with this? I'd say microfibre pads are way too aggressive for the terribly soft paint myself, especially for the novice machine polisher. I'll be honest with you I haven't worked on any zeds. Although I have used MF cutting pads on very soft paint. As a professional, I want to minimise the time I spend on each vehicle. But that doesn't mean I'd ever compromise quality. If the paint is too thin, then I'd go on to using a foam cutting pad. But the whole point of microfibre cutting pads is to bridge the gap between rotary and DA's. The whole point of detailing is to correct the paint by taking the least amount of paint off. If I find it to be a little too aggressive, then I'd switch to foam pad. But I would usually start off with a MF cutting pad
  16. I'd recommend the DAS6 PRO. I used to use to but moved on to using the bigfoot rupes 21 and 3M rotary. For pads, I'd recommend the meguairs microfiber cutting pad with meguiars ultimate compound. Followed by a chemical guy white hexlogic polishing pad with CG v36 and finally finished with a CG black hexlogic finishing pad with CG v38. if your planning on using the machine to apply a liquid wax then I'd recommend CG red hexlogic pad.
  17. thanks ZMANALEX and nooooooo.... if anything I'll get it resprayed. as a professional detailer I'd never wrap my car
  18. LOL my keyboard is broken Thanks for spotting that out
  19. Thanks Jonty Yes by the look of it I'm going to have to wait a year or two. But in that time I just to soak up as much knowledge as possible from the older, more experienced members here. £550 for the year is really good! But I live in London so mine will probably be a hell of a lot higher
  20. I recommend taking the wheels off, giving them a good wash with a pH neutral wheel cleaner, agitate with a brush etc. After that, clay the wheels, but once you've clayed them, throw that piece of clay away. For a really good protection, I'd recommend putting on some AMMO SKIN. pricey, but VERY VERY VERY good! can also be used on paint as a sealant. But if your looking for something to just apply after cleaning, poorboys wheel sealant or Chemical Guys wheel guard are both very good products.
  21. For a really foamy wash, I'd recommend Chemical Guys Mr Pink. Provides extra lubricity and really softens all the dirt. But if your looking for more cleaning power, I'd recommend Chemical Guys Honeydew snowfoam.
  22. Hi All, My name is Aminul, I'm 19 (turning 20 vey soon) and would like to learn a lot more about the range of Zed models available before purchasing the right one. I currently drive a 2002 Toyota Celica 190 and am very well known on he celica club uk forum. I'm also part of another independent group called celicrew based in London. Here's our facebook page: https://www.facebook...53651238168197/ I currently run my own detailing company called ai detailing. Do follow on instagram to check out some of my work @ai.detailing After owning the celica for just over a year now, I really want something abit more powerful and RWD. But I want to spend some time on the forum here and learn abit more about Zeds before purchasing one. That's the mistake I made when purchasing my Celica. I didn't learn anything about it and didn't realise there was much better ones for sale on the forum. Due to my young age, NO insurance company is wiling to insure me on a Zed which isn't surprising. And those who do give me a quote, well its better not knowing lol. My main on this forum is to try and take as much advice and soak up all the knowledge I can here before purchasing one. And hopefully by then my insurance quotes will be lower. My preferences so far are a white 350z convertible. Any common faults to look out for? I look really forward to getting to know you all, and as a detailer, I'll be very active in the detailing section.
