sky and bell are on here and give a discount to members, admiral are pretty good if your young, and male, don't know what its like if your female. you may find other places offer better discount due to that last point, also having someone else on the insurance can sometimes lower it as well. my insurnace benefited from my wife going on it, (shame i don't let her drive it )

do you take credit cards alex?

i used a hair drier to pop bubbles etc. yes an oven would have helped, but mines not big enough and my life wouldn't be worth living if i did it. i've actually got very few, the biggest help would have been an extra pair of hands, that would have made the job a hell of a lot easier at the middle section of laying the fibre and taping down.

speak to rik, he just fitted a new carbon bonnet to his V3, its wet carbon, and in the shape and stlye of the uprated bonnets and has the slight bulge to the middle. i think he supplies them so should be able to get one for you.

have you actually read what the code is as it could be something comepletly different to what you think. if you changed the intakes at the same time it may well be something to do with the throttle body, whats your location as someone might have an OBDII reader to check it for you.

you won't see any true gains until you tune the car with an uprev tune, but flow will be improved, i believe the kinetix has something like 300 DPI check out the kinetix website for all the info you'll need. they are a nice piece of kit.

i have this, but i think my new CF rear strut cover should fix this as it makes it a tighter fitting. my old fix was to just turn the radio up

looks amazing, good effort guys

i have the invidia g200 true dual and its pretty good for noise, no droning on the motorways, its quiet; unless you give it some beans, a very useable exhaust. must admit i was expecting more noise, but true dual doesn't mean instant hooligan noise. very impressed with its useability.

never heard of anything like this?

so this is how he's funding his modding spree

lol i shoot at those from over 6 car lengths away.

will the kit fit alright without the pipe, it just that its kinked to push the filter down deep. or thats what it look slik ein the pic anyway.

give him more the man is funny when he's all beer'd up

cheers tarmac, not so much balls more stupidity and boredom, thought what the hell

didn't vac bag this, but i have one at work, issue is the resin top coat in the vac bag. wouldn't work.

getting the resin on evenly is a pig, and then when you wet and dry back, not going through to the CF is a nightmare,

cheers for the tips, but i don't think i'd do it again

Admiral are the ones that a lot of younger people go with

i still think stinger missiles in the front grille should be standard Zed equipment

well i came back out and the things were hard as stone, i couldn't even push a thumb print into them so it must react differently to spraying on paint. so i thought what the hell lets fit these babies back on. so the finished acticles, they are by no means perfect, and as i made them i know where the flaws are, but they look a damn sight better than before. the sides have probably come out the best, and possibly the easier to do , if i did it again i know how id do it, i wouldn't try and adhere underneath and just trim it when it had dried. its wrapped round quite well, and the overall look isn't bad. there are some gaps as the cover meets the original trim, and that was due to the laying, i couldn't get it into the lip and stay there while i taped the rest down. if i did it again, i'd only CF down to the lip and then cut off the excess once it had dried with a knife. But considering this is the closest people are likely to get, its not too bad apologies to those purists, but i couldn't resisit sticking the nismo logo on the sides

bloody hell thats good going, i'll get in contact with him shortly, did you go visit him or did you speak to him over the phone?

Cheers Bud The badges came off pretty easily with a hair dryer. It was the glue that was a B*tch, especially the sides don't worry mate i feel your pain

they look great mate, good work and well done. how easy did you find removing the old badges?

have fitted the rear strut which is fine, but i'm using the laquer technique on the sides, one thing i was wondering is how long to leave the laquer to dry before fitting. each coat is touch dry within 15 mine, but i'm leaving 35 min between coats, it says not to go over it with any rubbing compounds for at least 2 weeks, but says nothing about overall drying time. my guess is to leave fitting till tomorrow for them, any one got any ideas?
