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
-
Found this Signature on Photobucket that Zedrush did for me!

Welcome back. Did you have a friend who badly crashed their scooby at a track day...? I always remember that post from years ago and think it was yours IIRC.
M13KYF hasn't been around properly for a couple of years or so. Still has his car as far as i know, but he relocated across the country and then went quiet. Sarnie pops in from time to time.
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
-
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?!
-
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
-
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.

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)

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.

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.
-
Hello Sarnie! I see ur still the top poster!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
That was quick Mike!!!!!
How are you mate! Long time
I think Iv fixed it now!

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........
Current Spec:
Hyperflow top mount intercooler
HaywardScott decat system / Japstyle angled box
Prodrive 3 port boost solenoid
Forge Uprated Actuator-blue spring
KN panel filter /NGK PFR7B plugs
Remapped by Rich @ Powerstation
Whiteline Rear 24mm adj roll bar
Performance Friction Z pads/RBF600 fluid
Satin gunmetal sti alloys/D1 Spec lugs
Carbon mini mudguards / Back window tint
Front splitter-HT Autos
Prosport Elec Stepper gauges/Nomad Pod
8000K HID xenon lighting/Various Security
RA2 Laser, hardwired/Odyssey PC680 battery
