  1. extra power feel down to the colder damp weather. granted I would have thought that but I noticed the difference almost immediately after you guys fitted it.also the weather hasn't been as bad as normal just wet and it still feels sharper. The design and flow of the system is the best we have seen so maybe it does have an effect. You know the car best and have had a couple of other options to judge by
  2. Mark is picking car up on saturday as planned. kit came without the fixings for the fuel flap so thats all that cant be fitted, five minute job when they arrive.
  3. and why northern Z's are faster than southern ones
  4. Where else are you meant to air your opinions?? +1. Reading on DW it seems he has "reasons" for why it wasnt up to par, so I think he needs to explain these to you (maybe family problems or whatever) and come back and sort it properly. I'm fair if someone gives reasons for mistakes, but from what you posted on here, he didnt seem to care. I was given absolutaly no reasons as to why the job was so half arsed done. Im half tempted to post the email exchange between me and him - however I know that would be going too far. Whatever he says you have first hand witnesses.
  5. Take the court option Alex you have three witnesses here to verify what was done and we would have no hesitation in defending you.
  6. Thanks for that Phil, certainly does shed a lot of light on what went on. It is truely shocking how half assed that detail was. I was my mums old beater better than that! It sounds more like a job your local car park car was people would do! Did he machine polish any of it? I'd say get on DW and name and shame on there, what he did was truely shocking for the money that you have paid, and I would have expected more from even a novice detailer Yes the car was machined and he did a fair job of that but as I said it really didn't need much in that respect, he himself said the paint was in good nick. The big dissapointment on the bodywork was the the lack of in your face shine, certainly with the GTR sitting behind it (which has not had a polish yet) the shine difference was significant.
  7. Definately enquire at Detailing World. I'm sure they are on there. This is the most important bit. What did you pay for exactly? What does a full detail consist of? Full correction and protection? Does seem like they have been rushed and not done a full job. Quite shocking as most of the guys on DW are very proud of their work and are pretty anal when it comes to getting things right He certainly wasn't rushed, the car was in very good condition to start with as Alex does look after it, hardly any swirls in the paint. The big problem was lack of attention to detail, the list of work Alex asked for from the guys own menu was mostly ignored. After spending almost two hours washing the car the wheels, arches, underside of sills were not touched at all. The dirt in the arches and on the wheels was hidden by using a self gloss spray. Alex's girlfriend ran her hand over one part of the arch and her hand was covered in muck. The boot was never lifted to clean and dry the shuts, same with door shuts, these were not even washed just wiped with a rag. I have never seen such a small amount of wax applied to a car with only the exposed flat surfaces treated, none of the areas such as underside of the spoiler, door shuts, sills etc got anything at all. Cleaning of the interior consisted of a spray of the seats with an armoural type product to make them shiny, no cleaning and certainly no feed applied to the leather, carpets hoovered without moving the seats, no glass cleaned no plastics to the dash or door panels even wiped. Arrived late on both days and left early, didn't even put a full day in, and still went off for lunch. I was shocked to say the least.
  8. Wonder detail as in 'Stevie Wonder'.
  9. 20mm Eibach, hubcentric bolt on spacers, perfect £185 In stock
  10. Standard bumper slightly modified.
  11. We can sell you some bits for it if you are interested
  12. I wouldn't argue with that.
  13. springs only required if you want to lower the car. Price for spacers does not include fitting. £30 for fitting.
  14. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to pop over on sunday it was good to see you all. Had a good fun couple of days topped off with a 'Brucie Bonus' of three points on the way home could have been worse if the brakes weren't so good.
  15. The past year has seen a huge growth in the club in all respects and this is down to the commitment of those at the helm taking the time trouble and care in organising good meets and events and always very wellcoming to new members, keep up the good work guys
