  1. Running japspeed HFCs and full japspeed exhaust, but no ECU light yet (touch wood). Be interesting to know if im running lean or not. Really need to fit the plenum spacer and get it mapped

    Very interesting thread this one :lol:

    How did you find the Japspeed HFC's? I've got a Cobra Resonated with a Japspeed Y Pipe and wanting to add a bit more sound without having mot trouble with decats!

    In your opinion, would the HFCs be noticeable and worth the money?

    Thanks!

     

    The HFCs will make it noticeable louder, nearly decat levels. You may get through MOTs with them but it entirely depends on how hot you get them. Honestly i wish I'd waited a bit and gotten BERK highflow cats, they have an extra chamber built in to deal with rasp. That's the biggest con so far is how raspy its become while booting it

  3. My favourite bit is using his leg to brace his cardboard pipe when cutting it :lol: .

     

    I really wanted natural selection to kick in there, and take his leg off. The things people do amaze me, for all the wrong reasons.

  4. No. I can honestly say it sounds complete garbage and is probably the dumbest thing ive ever come across. Sounds nothing remotely like any aftermarket exhaust I've heard and I cant believe you're actually considering this.

     

    Thats enough internet for one day.

  5. Lets put it this way. You're doing this simply as a noise test, because you dont want to spend X amount on a branded aftermarket system because you may not like how it sounds?

     

    So, with that in mind, we know that changing the air box changes sounds aswel as Airflow. Would you run without an airbox at all, completely open throttle body? If your answer is yes, then im out

  6. No apologies to be given haha. You've asked a question, and some answers have been given which you do not agree with. Thats the way talking about things works! Also to read that those of us who disagree are ignorant and spreading speculation... REALLY dude. Youve been given plenty of reasons not to do it, yet are ignoring them. Recuring theme here.

     

    Be grateful this isnt CivicLife back in the day. You'd of been spit roasted alive and never forgotten about it.

  7. Have to agree with Ekona. Its an exhaust leak, not an aftermarket system. Any well known branded exhaust will have gone through some kind of R&D (the extent depends on the brand) for how it'll fit, sound, high and low tone, frequency resonance and more.

     

    Given the location of where you could do this, and I stress that you dont, would be either the end of the Y pipe or at the backbox. Either would make the car sound awful imo. Ive seen some ghetto mods, but this is one of the dumbest...

  8. The same can be said for Hondas DC5. It was a toss up between a DC5, an M3 or a 350z when I was looking and well here we are. As much as I loved Hondas, I just couldn't justify 7-10 grand for a front wheel drive 2.0L NA thats had its prices pumped because of the "scene", which funnily enough I was there at the beginning when mimms was at a servicr station!

     

    I have noticed a droo but then maybe I paid a little too much? I paid £5800 for mine a year ago with FNSH and 62K on the clock, im second owner. One thing thats worrying me slightly is the affordability of these, I can already see the barely post pubescent teens armed with topknots eyeing them up with daddys money. Then itll all go to @*!#, Hondas are a prime example.

  9. ITEM: Japspeed 350z Y pipe and OEM Centre Pipe

     

    CONDITION: Both are 9/10 having covered at max 5K miles before being removed for a complete system. No damage to either except the smallest amount of fraying on one of the flexi joints, but does not affect performance in the slightest. The catalytic converters ends are a diameter of 2.5 before reaching the collector which becomes 3" diameter. The OEM pipe is 2.5" the entire way through. I am willing to split

     

    LOCATION: West Sussex

     

    POSTAGE / COLLECTION: Collection only.

     

    PRICE: £100 for both or £50 each, please

  10. It is a male dominated environment though, thats the thing. So far nixy is the only female to have commented on this thread, probably because shes the only female whos logged on in a couple days where as the majority of us visit daily, so you can see how it would come across as one sided.

     

    However that being said, I totally agree with you that regardless of gender, treating people, especially significant others is not on in any way shape or form :)

  11. I think thats half the reason Nixy, it will predominantly feel biased and one sided because the majority here are guys, because thats the nature of our passion. You're in the minority because you're female, however thats definitely nothing to be grumbled about, we need more female car lovers like yourself! Lets be honest if this was a female forum the tables would be reversed!

     

    I dont know you personally, hell I dont actually know anyone on here personally yet because ive not been to a single meet, but I can safely say its not personal nor is this aimed at brandishing all with the same brush.

     

    We've all been through the mill relationship wise one way or another, and im not denying for a second that guys arnt as bad, because they are and thats just an out and out lie. Everyday visitor or not, we're all part of the same great hobby and thats 350s!

  12. Unfortunately nowhereboy some of us did get to read that before the edit ;) Honestly I get everything youve said, and while I understand and did exactly the same, it needs to stop, NOW. That type of over analysing only thickens the fog completely, when in reality she sounded pretty damaged in the way that she treated people.

     

    While admirable what you did for her little boy, you arnt his Dad and to expect so much of you early on is not fair. It takes time. I fell into this trap too and getting out is like dragging your nuts over razors. Just let it go, it wasnt you that was the issue. If you were all the things you said she'd of never entertained you.
