  1. Looking to come back to another Z after selling my JDM 350z ST back in 2007! In particular looking for a 370z GT Coupe, Manual, Sub 40k miles, no too many previous owners. I'm based in Watford but can travel approx 150 miles. Many thanks
  2. Right S2000 is sold after its Ring trip and now itching to replace it with a 370z! Specifically looking for a GT Coupe, Manual, sub 40k miles and not too many previous owners, - if anyone is selling please let me know
  3. Ok about time I got myself in another Zed now! Looking for a 370z GT manual with sub 40k miles in good condition. Need to sell my well modified track / fast road spec Honda S2000 GT (with hardtop) first. Or part ex with cash your way as my S2K is probably worth approx £9.5k
  4. Found this Signature on Photobucket that Zedrush did for me!
  5. Yea that was my good friend who crashed his Spec C at Brands Hatch!! You've got a good memory Marzman! I do remember your username also. I should have guessed Sarnie would have got a car like that after his Orange Lambo!! I also have some photos from JAE show in 2006 or 2007 which I'll dig out. I also remember there was Zedrush Jay who had his Veilside big build done from East Shore Racing, which then turned into a fiasco afterwards.! lol
  6. Thanks everyone Will post up some pics when I get home. ps my mistake it is still called 350z-uk but in Google it displays the name with 370-uk.com also so got confused. I remember Ebized! What happened to MikeyF and Sarnie?!
  7. Thats a pretty long come back! After the 350z I've been through way too many Jap Rally specials, Luxo Barges, German 4wd super hatches and the odd track build. Currently finishing a lightly modified Honda S2000 for occasional track days as well as a Special Edition E92 M3. But I think in 2019 I may want to start a 370z project! I wonder if any of the old faces are still around on here when it used to be called 350z-uk.com
  8. Very very sorry to hear this sad news Jay. Be strong & always remember the good times. You will see her again one day... My mother passed away 10 years ago at the age of 51 from breast cancer, I was only 22 at the time, I miss her as much as I did 10 years ago, but now I remember mainly the happy moments we spent together & not on the event of her passing.
  9. Reduced to £19,990 In "Total Impreza" Magazine from March 4th, WhSmiths etc If anyones after a Spec C, my minty mint Spec C is up for sale. (Over £5k spent on parts, plus labour) Yes you can get a std Spec C for £18k, but here for a couple of thousand extra you are getting a fully sorted Spec C that will not need a penny spent on it for the next 2 years on anything (then only pads & tyres) & it has had over £6k spent on it already. Plus it is the best example in the country, show standard & one of only 2 in white in th UK (non RA), this being the first one & the only Litchfield one . Subaru : Rare Hawkeye Spec C in White -MY06 Offers considered Ricky 07961309206
  10. Here's a latest pic, after coilover suspension fitted; 4x Vredestein Ultrac tyres & full custom geometry setup:
  11. Thats a shame Lexx What are you planning on getting next?
  12. Merry Christmas & Price now reduced to: £20,495
  13. NOW FOR SALE See for sale section for thread Apologies in advance if this sounds rude but if you are looking for a cheap deal this is not it. This is for sale at this price because of what it is & in my opinion there are enthusiasts out there who will understand what this car is & appreciate what they are paying for. You will be hard pressed to come across a car like this again for a long time I can assure you. This is on offer here before this car is advertised in national/web publications in the new year. I would rather sell it here to fellow enthusiasts rather than on e.g Pistonheads etc This is a one of only a few MY06 Hawkeye Spec C's in White in the UK & that is out of only maybe approx 1000 Hawkeye Spec's ever made. The Hawkeye shape was only in production from 2005 to 2007 & of the limited Spec C’s there are only to my knowledge, 2 in white, in the UK. I have documented this cars ownership over the past two years since I have owned it on Scoobynet. I have various threads (especially in the Southern Section) where you can find the cars development & enhancements & I am a well known member on here & with the Middx Subaru Owners Club. (MSOC) http://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-cars-352/804174-rare-hawkeye-spec-c-white.html#post9089774 Whatever condition you expect this car to be in, it is far far better! It has only covered approx 16k miles & was bought from Litchfield Imports & has been maintained by them ever since, with their full service history since import. Ian Litchfield knows me personally & can vouch for this car & its credentials! I believe this is the best Hawkeye Spec C in the country & especially in this sought after colour. The car is immaculate & is as near to new as possible. This side of a £30,000 Spec C RAR, there is nothing better that rolled out of the Subaru factory. After the enhancements this car has had, I would even reconsider my above statement…….. I have spent over £5,000 over the past 2 years as documenetd in the list below. By improving on parts where costs & further research stopped Subaru at the time of production & where power & ultimate race/rally focus may have been compromised by Subaru when selling to the mass public.

Serious buyers only & test drive if you are insured to drive this car or after deposit paid. (Reg plate not included in sale) I have had it for 2 years now & got it to the stage I wanted & now fancy a change. If it doesn't sell at this price I wont be too dissapointed & will keep it anyway, until the right buyer comes along. This is a depreciation proof classic that in my opinion in years to come will also appreciate in value such as the 22B' £21,500 ono All enquiries through PM on here or email to ricky@hindeshotel.com
  14. Only £600 for me from Keith Michaels inc mods. The person who is their Subaru expert, Gary Moulson is also a Scoobynut & I know him personally & can sort out a good price Im sure.
  15. Hello Sarnie! I see ur still the top poster!!
  16. Thanks all for your kind comments Yeah Iv finished it at last Chris!! Sometimes you get to that stage & know there's nothing further to do without spoiling it. I will carry on enjoying it until it sells & love the car but I also want to start something new.
  17. Thanks Ian! I would like to put the bulk of the money in the bank & start a new cheaper project. I would like to buy a classic Ver4/5 Impreza Sti Type R & use it on the track more. Its just that I couldnt bring myself to take my Spec C on the track much as it was so mint & worth more than I was willing to damage on track.
  18. That was quick Mike!!!!! How are you mate! Long time I think Iv fixed it now!

  20. That RX7 was a friends from JAM Performance, a Cossy dropped its oil sending the 600bhp Rx7 into the tyre wall at over 60mph!
  21. Thats my old zed!!!!!!!! Good to see you'v joined the club Richard
  22. Update: Went to Litchfields/Powerstation a couple of weeks go for a bit of a Stage 1 tune, so to say -K&N Panel filter -Hayward & Scott full decat 3" exhaust system with Jap exit style backbox (though backbox is like cross between & japanese sports bike & a jet fighter as is too loud for me & trackdays! Will have to be replaced with a quieter Miltek one) -Prodrive 3 port boost solenoid -Forge Uprated Actuator (Blue Spring) -Custom Remap by Rich @ Powerstation, peak boost at 1.6bar At DSA rolling road day (accompanied by official photographer Sl14 Loius!) Mangaged 343bhp & 405 ft-lb of torque (550nm) :luxhello::D Not bad out of a 2.0 litre engine! Though power at top end wasnt very smooth & fluctuated around a bit. Problem put down to a 'Neutral position sensor' on gearbox which was causing slight loss of boost every so often. Seems a simple fix with a washer bunged in to stop it intervening & with that fix power curve should smooth out to 355bhp approx. This IMO would be the approx max for the VF36 turbo & anymore bhp on my car would require a bigger or hybrid turbo & more £££'s. Overall happy with results & the fact that after Powerstation remap I am getting an extra 50 miles out of my fuel tank! But most importantly the car has turned into an absoloute beast!!! Any gear; any revs; any speed.....the dam thing pulls like a train.....the acceleration is relentless. I have a new favourite gear,.......6th gear.....it pulls in 6th like never before, all the way up to silly figures, where before the twin scroll turbo would run out of puff a lot lot earlier. And the sound now of the turbo is frigtening....its like Iv got Wolverine in the engine bay howling & snarling & gnawing its teeth while the exhaust note has changed to a Mescesshmit in full attack mode!!!!! This is what drives our petrol fuelled passion & makes it all worthwhile........
