  1. Cant wait till tomorrow! Picking up a nice 14 plate 370z GT with very low mileage:yahoo::yahoo:

    No pics as yet but will post when I have some.

    Unfortunately this means the 350 has to go and will be for sale soon and will post on here when the time comes for it to go. Will be a sad day as I have put a lot of time and effort into the 350.

    But roll on tomorrow:thumbs:

  2. I always use these guys, http://www.carrickalloys.co.uk/price/index.htm Never had any problems with them.
  3. Probably not engaging the switch at the clutch pedal, that stops it working Watch this it might help
  4. Have a watch here, my car at 70mph mostly with Cobra system including high flow Cobra cats. No real drone at all mainly road noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=185&v=3TTS9B-eG9M
  5. If its going to be at the TT meet I can probably pop up and meet up with you all.

    Totally agree with what you are saying there Ekona, but he stuck rigorously to what Subaru told him for the first 4k miles despite having to drive around like Miss daisy. Modern engines should be driven as you normally would from the get go surely.

    Posted 20 hours ago That's actually a precent decent statement, fair play to Subaru for issuing it. So did he put another 08/09 engine in it? Subaru replaced the engine under warranty, I can only assume it was like for like, turbo was replaced at the same time for the second time. It ran ok for about 4k miles and was run in very gently, then started to develop the same symptoms as the original engine, getting more difficult to start ,smoking and drinking fuel and oil way beyond what it should. Think my son was well pleased to get shot of it in the end.

    It was the wrx sti 330s he had not modded at all, ringlands failed on the first engine and were showing the very same symptoms on the new engine already, The car was serviced regularly using the proper oils and fluids. Have a read on the net about them its quite scary how many of them have blown after very few miles. Subaru advice was basically dont take it over 4k revs very much! Well for a rally bred car that is some statement. https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/legal-motoring-advice/2010-10/subaru-issues-statement-on-impreza-and-forester-25-litre-engines/

    My son just got rid of his pile of crap 2.5, 2009 sti Hatch. had it 1 year and engine blew up turbo gave up twice 40k miles and brand new engine installed by Subaru was heading the same way at 7k miles so he got rid , not unusual with these cars, wouldn't advise anyone to get one!
  10. Got a Zunsport chrome mesh grill on mine so it was definitely me https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/118139-couple-of-shots-of-the-350z/
  11. Could well have been me, dropped by for a couple of hours and left when it was getting a bit wet.
  12. Cheers for the comments and yes it was using one of them screw on lenses.
  13. At Dumfries motor show on sunday the 13th,. Nice red 350Z with BGW and other mods. Had club stickers on window too.
  14. Spotted just on the Howes corner yesterday, the missus said you gave the thumbs up but I was day dreaming at the time
  15. Was at this yesterday, arrived kinda late about 11'ish. Some nice cars on show.
  16. Didn't realize this was on and ordered a set of 20 & 25mm and paid for them, have I missed out?
  17. Fitted mine today, looks better than the original for sure.
  18. Just bought one of these a couple of weeks ago, Exactly the same dimensions as original and 5 year warranty. http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-batteries/yuasa-12v-silver-car-battery-hsb005-5-year-guarantee
  19. Any FPR's i have fitted in the past, been a few, are always on the return line, they are basically a flow restrictor after all.

    MPG

    Went for a run out in the 350z yesterday to see how many MPG I could stretch it out too, Driving like Miss daisy in SP10 on throttle controller on a round trip of 72 miles I managed this. Was well impressed but just couldn't drive it like that every day!!! :teeth:
