i love the RX7, awesome cars, speak to MWtech he knows them inside out. i think he's had about 3 i think they require alot of maintainence and can be expensive, but not as bad as the horror stories make out. the dash and interior is

are these the ones you have on the front?

kuhmo ku31's are a good midrange tyre same as the falkens and the toyos never used them, have tried toyo and don't like them and now on my 2nd set of falkens and happy. they suit lower profile setups better. if you can things like the ultrac sessantas are good eagle F1's are very good wet tyres and dry. Dunlop sp sport maxx is ok as well.

the manufacturing differs to injection moulding because its built up layer by layer in a 3d printer so the cell structure is different to injection moulded as its squirted in under pressure. without a smaple of both materials and an Izod tester its difficult to say, if the new flip design has thicker side walls then it might compensate for the material difference. just looking at things like the central strut which takes the spring load from the key, will it be up to being flicked open and shut everyday as a regular key. some audi keys have that as a bonded metal insert glued to the key frame. if its painted with 1k paint it will chip quiet easy in your pocket with other keys phone etc over time. thats why most keys have the colour injected into the plastic so scratches dont; show up as easily.

just had a look through their materials section and at the bottom it says the key really needs to be ABS injected and not printed, this is why we only use this process for prototyping at work. good for making a quick mock up to see if it works but an expensive manufactuing process for small batches.

+1 get a glass mounted antenna

ah the old honda F50

which one you loooking at? is it a reel fed or a cartridge machine? as for the drawing depending on what software its done on if someone can get it to me i can redo the drawing and remove the text. i have contemplated buying 10 cases sorting all the internals and blanks + painting/carbon dipping etc, but its a big out lay, they won't be cheap and people will still have to pay for key cutting on top. would people be interested in this if i sorted it all out?

It's 3D printed so I'm sure you could ask them to blank out the Qashqai logo on their 3D model before printing, they might even put 350Z on there if you ask nicely. Seems expensive at about £40, perhaps someone could ask about group buy prices? the company just print the drawings sent in, you'd need to get the original artist to redraw it with no text on, its not as simple as saying do you mind just not putting that in. we use 3D printing for prototyping, i'd be interested to see how strong they are and what plastic they use.

put a link up to one i think from memory you can't get the transponder to sit close enough to the key, and the internals don;t fit properly

good find i can get them finished in carbon if people wanted these be interested to see how you get on with it. key case is about £35 then you need to find the key blank and internal fixings possibly £10 for a dead key then paint costs on top. thats not a cheap key

Currently running Bosch all in one wipers, they are ok, but I miss my PIAA wipers, they are the daddy, all style shape but superior clearing, especially if you use rainx

Glad you like it, they should be fairly hard wearing as its a 2k clear coat. So heat treated, and not air dried. Got a nice set of b pillars that are waiting for a nice home. And something special on its way as well. just keep the woodwork away from the jag, its already way to friendly with the rust beetle

a whole front bumper would cost about £300 to spray, so a lip would probably be about £100 - £150 if you have the sides as well then probably another £150 per side, and about £80 for the rear spats. no special paint for low areas like that, but you can get a clear wrap put on like armourfend to protect ti if your worried. as for spraying yourself i'd advise against it, as spray can paint isn't baked and is not as hard wearing as 2K paint which is baked.

my online radio has just started playing "it will rain" by Bruno Mars; and its peeing down outside

the amount of people i've passengered with who think they're Senna driving fast but their gear changes are horrific, i'm not suprised the clutch gives out. especially when they drive like that and don't heel and toe or double clutch for me high mileage on a V6 would be about 250,000 miles but even then its not a dead car.

well worth a go

i love those small carbon lip spoilers they'd suit the car well.

Yet you have aussie genes in you lol.... come on rich Twobears... stop moaning we live in the Uk.... what do you expect i don't mind the hot weather when i'm on holiday but even then i have my limits. i don't burn easily though which is an advantage; my disadvantage is being part wookie. its like wearing a fur coat in the summer

have to agree, i've had RE040's on several cars and although their wet traction isn;t as good as others they have always been progressive, they only spit people out if they are hamfisted with them. they are also a great track tyre, and in the dry they are very good. Bollocks, they're great in the dry (lots of feedback and good progression) and okayish in the wet. They get much better with some heat in them too. Nankangs are at least named budget tyres, yet, I managed to not have any accidents on no named budget tyres with 3mm at the rear and falken ze912's at the front with 2mm.
