  1. Been following this as it really is such a blow for all those involved. Cant imagine the absolute devastation when you really add up whats been lost. Mate of mine who runs his own MOT station estimates his snap on collection at 15K, and his words were it'll be nothing compared to a garages like that Then theres the unit, peoples wages, the tools, the cars everything else involved. Doesnt bare thinking about it.
  2. Now just wait for the sun to be out, roof down on the way to a local meet, then you'll have a smile like a Cheshire Cat
  3. Id say Rich has hit the nail on the head and summed this up perfectly. Mine looked awful for the first couple of days but looks apot on now. Had all the little bubbles and lines like yourself. Id leave it to settle and dry out a tad first. Also, not sure if the roadsters have them but do not use your rear demister for the first couple weeks!
  4. But have you scientifically proven using a wind tunnel on a gyroscopic turntable that that boot handle does actually provide the downforce for harsh deacceleration, and well, shutting the boot?
  5. That looks spectacular buddy, definitely think one of these will be the next car on the list!
  6. Possible youve got an engine mount on the way out? Or perhaps gearbox leaning backwards causing lift to the engine? Thats where Id look first, not much else that could be upsetting the positioning?
  7. No way! Mark had said that he'd sold several to the MOD but I never thought id see one! Definitely an awesome back story to that Are you on the UK tank clubs forum at all? They do shows up and down the country, duxford, war and peace at kent and bovington. Used to go myself, they were brilliant!
  8. No Jay, Jay84 is right and thats not what we want in the slightest. Ive got some pictures for you and measurements if youd like to PM me Please do not worry about posting any questions you have, no question is too stupid as we all learn by doing and most of us are all in the same boat
  9. They're both gorgeous! Do you accept relatives as payment? I have few family members who Id happily ship off. We could do 1 member X 1 wheel so its fair?
  10. That is awesome, never knew the 370z came with those inputs! How accurately is it reading the data? I assume its piggybacking of what the ECU is being sent?
  11. If you had a clue about then you'd know that the 370z indicators actually sit proud of the lip that the original badges sit in, as they're actually a larger diameter then stock. And Ill be sure to let the body shop know that a 20 year old who has no clue in bodywork has deemed his work, small and inefficient. OP im done wasting my time here with HE MAN, if you'd like accurate pictures and dimensions tomorrow then PM me. Or listen to Strudul who hasnt done it but knows better then everyone else HE MAN AWAY
  12. Would you like me to get some decent close up pictures for you too?
  13. Sorry for the slow reply Jay, actually only gotten out of hospital! He said that he used a 25mm hole saw before finishing the rest by hand so it was a crisp tight fit (ohh errr misses) Unless Im not picturing it properly I cant see it being 54mm?
  14. Nope, thats the total price. Martin has asked for a deposit to cover his own back in getting all the bits in so hes not out of pocket, then we pay the rest once he's built them. Have to admit Id like to get the ball rolling on this!
  15. I think they're my favorite along with the rear bumper! Well my 3rd exhaust turned up today, Japspeed K1! Not entirely sure when it'll get fitted though as Im actually in Hospital writing this! Not sure it's quite as bad as Dan and his squirty bottom although it may be later
  16. Recently had these fitted on mine so Ill drop my bodyshop guy a message. Really surprised out of the whoke job this is what they've found fault with..
  17. Now this was built by me and Ray Spooner when I was around 16! Only two of in the country at the time, I wonder if Mark1 or Armortek ever made any? The forum wouldnt let me embed the third video so sorry to thread jack! But do check it out! Scary how far video equipment has come
  18. Awesome video buddy! Finally gotten round to watching it, really does show the weight of these vehicles Thought Id dig out the old youtube collection, really scary to think some of these were 10 years ago! This was my 1/8th scale panther which was litterally rescued from Marks field! And my 1/16th king tiger which was built by my myself and weathered by a chap up in Scotland! Parcel force lost it in the post for two weeks

  20. Maybe I do see it Strudul and just enjoy poking you with that stick as its oh so easy. Oh look, a bite!
  21. You did a Strudul and didnt read. I meant the civic, not the Z... The facepalm is real :/
  22. The hyper black is a lovely colour. What are these like fitment wise for Zs out the box?
  23. Well done on dodging that bullet chap, can only imagine that it was a difficult conversation where despite your best interests you still looked the bad guy! Id look at it this way, in a years time one of two things will have happened. 1.) She'll have defaulted on paying and still be acting like its someone elses fault, this distant aunt will be jumping up and down wishing she'd perhaps thought it through more and not gotten involved, and you can say I told you so... 2.) She wont have defaulted on the rent however I doubt it will have been plain sailing and the aunt will still be stressing over it and wishing she hasn't stuck her neck on the line, and you'll be saying I told you so haha. Either way, you'll be sorted knowing you did the right thing
  24. Easier to go off a 12V live, like the ciggy lighter.
  25. Can safely say I've done 140mph in the Z once, and once only. And never again. Was approaching an ever so slight bend in the duel carriageway and the Z began to twitch terribly. It was honestly one of those moments where it was 50/50 between surviving it, or dying. If I'd let off, dead. If I'd braked, dead. Just kept the power level and held on. My brother who was following me said it was beyond how evident the twitching was and I got the telling off of a lifetime when I got home and to be honest I deserved it. Had a very large whiskey to calm the nerves Id recommend geo and tyres before perhos some tired bushings or shocks. Certainly wont be doing it again myself, they were good boxers
