  1. A resonance dampener. Who'd have thought. Nice find mate, cheers
  2. Well if you find out, let me know. very odd.
  3. How weird. Wonder what it's countering. Surprised if it's the Bose thing, as it wouldn't need to move
  4. No, it's just a block of metal. Here it is https://youtu.be/B6Vh6JroLac or the Bose thing? No idea, I figured it was something to do with the audio.
  5. Hellooo! I've just stripped the boot out of everything cosmetic, including the tyre. On the right side of the boot area there's a counter balance type thing that rocks left and right, bit like a pendulum. On the left side there's a Bose thingymejig, I have no idea what that is. Is the one on the right to counter balance the thing on the left? What is it? Can get a pic if need be. It's a Roadster.
  6. My method is a little more unorthodox, but it's cheap, and I'd wager better than off the shelf products. Learned it from other mountaineerers/hikers. Simple soap, the bars you buy in the supermarket. wittle half a bar of shavings into a pan, and boil it until it's dissovled. Then put it in a bucket, fill with water, and clean the roof thoroughly with a regular car sponge. The dirt will just lift out, without the soap damaging any current water proofing. Let it dry completely. Then paint Fabsil onto it with a paint brush, and buff with a soft cloth. It leaves no brush marks, restores the colour, and is one of the best hydrophobic coatings on the market.
  7. Only a moron would buy a 350Z and complain about MPG, after the fact. PS: Not aimed at you btw
  8. Yup. They're competing for attention, most large boards get those types.
  9. I had the baby brother Fiesta ST for 3 years. Nothing ever went wrong with it. Absolutely bullet proof vehicles. And so much fun to drive around Welsh country roads. I was going to go for the Focus ST, but wanted something a bit different from the norm.
  10. Dunno but the welding looks like pigeon @*!# I just rewatched it at home. Its Berk test pipes, some Tomei Y-pipe and Injen back boxes. He lists it around the 3:49 mark of the video. Bloody hell, I missed that. Sounds sweet. I want a more Bass tone to mine though
  11. Just read about some guy who put a 370Z gearbox in a 350Z. Now that's serious fabrication. I doubt a HR in a DE would come close to that amount of work.
  12. What exhaust is that. Certainly not a Japspeed lol
  13. He made another thread... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/100077-new-roof-completed-this-morning/
  14. I'm a bot, so I don't count
  15. My cars 2006 and there isn't any rust anywhere that I can find. I'm sure there's surface rust under the car somwhere, all cars get it. One place I notice is vulnerable is the rear arches. they have a lip on the arch which nicely collects crud. So make sure you clean that out with a hose and your fingers. Should be good. Surprised they didn't put a liner in those arches really.
  16. Where are you located? Why are you selling, curious. Poole, sorry. Too far for me
  17. Good lord, I didn't see that coming.
  18. Do you mean it's crunching or refusing to get it? Mine is so smooth in every which way nowí ½í± Just refuses to go in. You have to go through the gears, which is lame as hell for a sports car. I think I'll do what you did and have it rebuilt.It's the only thing that lets down an otherwise great drive.
  19. Not a bad price for piece of mind. Have to admit, the gearbox in the Z is the worst part of the car. Mines fine through all the gears, but try and jump from 6th to 4th, or 5th to 3rd and it's like hitting a brick wall. never experienced a box like it.
  20. I used Plastidip on mine and it's an exact OEM match. Even my brother who is the most critical OCD perfectionist didn't spot it. I used Satin black cellulose first, but it looked crap. So opted for matt black plastidip. However, you can find the covers mostly in the USA on ebay. I've rarely seen them on the UK one. Expensive for what they are.
  21. I more or less did most of that. Police still wouldn't pursue it. The police are about as much use as a pub in Mecca. So I sold the car and bought a Military Series 3 Land Rover. The more battered that thing got, the better it looked. Was awesome. Funny, because the vandalism stopped at that point, and then the neighbours car burst into flames one night. They moved back to Scotland after that.
  22. No, I seems to attract Focus ST's and, believe it or not, Clios. Not Clio Sport or Clio V6, bog standard Clios, always with a kid driving it. I don't race kids, they could lose control and I'd never forgive myself.

    I do welding, and 300 is a rip. 3 hours, yeah, if it's your first time welding. If you're stuck, come over to the Mig-welding forum and ask someone local to you to do it. They'll only want a few bear tokens
  24. I'm around Liverpool, usually Strawberry fields area, silver roadster.
