  1. Next mod completed...... a new roof spoiler. Bought it from tarmacsportz although the finish quality was far from what I would normally expect from them ( bad cut lines, scratches etc) but as it was there last one I decided to work on it in my workshop and finish it myself. I managed to recut the edges and straighten it up but sadly I couldn't buff all the marks out on the gel coat so was left with a problem, to paint or to Vinyl?

  3. Saw a nice 370z in white on Gravel Hill just north of Poole, Sat 27th at around 545pm. I gave the driver a wave but I forgot I wasn't driving my Z but a white transit van....... he must have thought I was a nutter........ well I am but that's another story!

    Well if it was you, sorry but I'm the Nutter!

  4. I'll take Humpys number 5 spot then

  5. I have the Typhoon air intake on my Zed. Wanted that one because it has a box it sits in to protect from some heats oak and also has a 2nd downpipe which goes behind front grill feeding cold air directly up and into the box with intake.. so all good.. 😎

    I've got the same KnN Typhoon on mine, sweet sound Too!

  6. Thanks people, well I took the Z to a custom exhaust centre to have the mid silencers taken out........

    Marvelous result, I now have a really nice rasp as well as keeping the deep roar of the borla. Also as a nice bonus, I have a lovely burble and crackling going on Too! Sweeeeet

    Thanks Veilside for that pearl of wisdom

     

    Cheers everyone for their help and input.

  7. Hi peeps, going to sound a bit dim here (nothing new I hear you cry) but i cant seem to work out what part of the exhaust gives that raspy sound. I have a Borla on currently and it is a lovely deep throaty sound at high revs but am looking for a generally more raspier sound. I have heard that some people say the Y pipe makes a lot of difference to rasp while others say that a HFC will change it. ive watched loads of youtube varients but cant seem to pinpoint what part i need to change? is there anyone out there that can help or does anyone know of an exhaust specialist i can consult with?

    Cheers

  8. Hi peeps, anyone know where I can get a cf roof spoiler? I know there are some frp ones from UK suppliers but can't find cf. Amazon used to do them but alas seems to be only US with no shipping capabilities.

    Anyone help?

  9. Hi everyone, well I've gone for putting Roadster seats into my coupe as they have electric reclining on the passenger side. Only problem is, the seat connection plug has more terminals (obviously) than the coupe but I don't know which wire supplies which function so am wondering if anyone can help or does anyone know somewhere I can find this. I've tried gooooogling but without success!!!

    :bang:

  10. Darkside, are you a big fan of the Japanese Navy or something?

    All my family have served in the Japanese Navy so thought it appropriate! ;)

     

    Not before 1945 by any chance

    My grandfather was a kamikaze sub pilot during the war.

    In fact, he didnt know the war had ended until 1947 when he surfaced!
