bigtone

is it a track day friendly system ?

looking for a stainless exhaust for my 350z with or with out sports cats pipes,

would like it to sound nice on full chat but not to loud cruising .

cheers,

Tony.

That is what I fit to all the cars that come into my shop for a rear bracing replacement.

Hi Doc,

still about mate as is Project Phoenix. 

its all but finished and ready to go, just waiting for the right time to unleash the beast.

Richie... I remember him.. hows he doing

Thanks for the reply's and your thoughts.

First off I dont want anyone thinking That Bigtone is a tight arse wanting to put cheap oil in his car .

I spend so much on my cars I cry every time my bank statement lands on the floor, just check Project Phoenix ( running Titan Race Pro R 15w/50  )

So to the 350z

parts to be fitted for our track day are...

TAROX ZERO PLAIN SURFACE DISCS

FERODO DS3000 COMPOUND BRAKE PADS 

UPRATED REAR DROP LINKS

K&N FILTER
HKS HYBRID SPORTS OIL FILTER 

FULL SET OF NEW FEDERAL 959 RSR MOUNTED ON NEW RIMS (thanks Alex  )

25mm spacers are required on the front to clear the Brembos and to fill the arch and to create the perfect stance so don't let that put you off, as they look absolutely great. Most 350Z owners run spacers.

 

I soooooo want these wheels... 

but....

I also need front discs and pads and rear drop links...

what to do.. what to do..

Hi mate,

I have read somewhere I need spacers on the front (not my favorite modification) Is this correct?

Hi Mr Alex,

would you be  planning a trip to South Wales any time soon?

Indeed they would, it is a very popular upgrade.

Bugger... that's a reply I didn't want.

Will need to talk to her indoors now and do a shed load of overtime...

Will be in touch soon.
