  1. That really is excellent!! I'm a big fan of DIY projects and such like. That looks very well made, would take pride of place in my house that's for sure!!

     

    Our house is filled with Cars all the shelves/cupboards/glass cabinets are full of model cars and our walls are covered in pictures of cars. Even our coffee table is a covered in photos of our cars with a piece of glass on the top.

    We also have a wall covered in about 500+ hotwheels cars. 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ™ˆðŸ¤¦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ™ˆ even our bedroom!

    It's what happens when two car enthusiasts move in together!

     

    Speaking of coffee tables, here's my 350z coffee table I completed a few years ago. Still looks just as shiny today and still pride of place in the living room!

  4. Thought I'd share with you guys what I made my partener Christmas. (He owns a red AE86)

     

    So I bought to frame.

    Chopped and painted some wood to make the beams and work benchs. Etc! Checkered panel is duc tape. Ordered a model car from Japan (had to be from Japan)

    If you look at it in person you can see cool little details I have made. Like a Castro oil chart, loads of tiny little bolts and screws on the work bench I managed to source and some other cool stuff. This can either be slid into a wall, cabinet or stand alone.

     

    What do you guys think? I really enjoyed making it.

  5. Quick update on car parts..

     

    Ordered 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 et15 Japan racing JR7 wheels which my partner Steve who works at JDM Garage uk sorted for me. ;)

    Also Tarmac Sports has an awesome discount on exterior bits and I couldn't miss the deal and ordered a lip, some side diffusers and spats.

    Can't wait for my bits to arrive although it might be a while before I get the cash together for some tyres and to get my lip, diffusers and spats sprayed.

    My Partener is going to make me a lightweight metal diffuser to go under my mines lip.

    So the lip itself will be colour coded and then a black diffuser under it.

  6. The targa top is not an add on for the roadster.. It's a coupe that's been cut up...Looks mint tho.. reading through quite a few people have cut up their coupes in USA for this.... Wish there was a hard top for the roadster to give it a similar look.

    I wonder if you could get a front ended coupe and chop the tail bit off and fit it on a roaster! You would be better off turning a Roaster into a t top because surely a coupe isn't structured to have its roof cut out.

  7. Envy do an excellent quality and value shampoo in bulk

    If you fancy something a bit boutique, this stuff is ace, but ain't cheap

    Bathe+ is good if you want something which tops up your protection.

    Definitely try a few and see what you fall for.

     

    I bought the Frost car shampoo and some other products of there's and they refunded my a few days later saying they have nothing I bought in stock lol!

    Need some help. Right now I'm using this stuff! And even though it's a great colour match on my car (haha) it's not very bubbly...... At all in fact it feels like you washing your car with just water.... and I'm using loads of product in the bucket!

     

    Any good car shampoo suggestions?

    I'm after Something really foamy....lol

     

  9. I both love and Hate my 350z.

    Love it in the summer with the roof down.

     

    Hate the look compared to the coupe..Sorta wished I'd bought a coupe now.

     

    Funny thing is.. When I was looking I decided on a black coupe... And decided no matter what.. I'm not buying a silver one and deffo not a roadster...Ugly things... But when I saw it all polished with roof down in garage I just paid my money.

     

    Anyone else feel the same....

    Can you not buy a removeable hard top?

    I know they do them for MX5's, S2000's etc.... then you could remove it in the summer and have the best of both! :)

  10. Definitely the outside of the lights someone's been abit of a idiot with a small polishing machine or something!

     

    Will wet and dry it and see how it goes!

    Will buy the few fine grades and see what I can do.

    Thank you for the input and I will comment with photos of my outcome. :)

    Also forgot to add these are my other cars.

    My civic I've owned since I was 19years old and bought it looking pretty rubbish and slowly got it looking nice, i also engine swapped it for a 1.6 vtec engine so it goes better than it did too!

    My 205 is my daily, it's a dturbo with a 406 engine in it! (Goes really well) I'm doing abit of tidying up on that! As you can see!
