Ohhh yeahhhhh! After much blood, sweat and nearly some tears... (aplogies for the poor pics, camera phone ahoy!) That was one hell of a sod! I basically followed the guide to remove part of the bumper doing the same for each side. The headlight washers are a major pain as they just get in the way, mainly of the top screw of the reflector. Bumper seems pretty easy to get off, didnt pose any hassle apart from the headlight washers being in the way. Some other piccies: Carbon lip (cheers sinbad ) More carbon bits are in the post from Oz and the US, will show all when they are done. A bit of exhaust porn for Louis, done very quickly with Autosol - needs doing properly: I'll do some proper pics with my 350D when all the other bits are here and its properly clean

It has a Nismo sticker on it

Dont say that, I havent had mine long

OK so Autosol is ok, but nothing else. Gotcha

Noticed mine are looking a little dull recently after a clean. I take it you can use Autosol (I think) on them?

Id expect it to be the same You thinking of getting some NOS perhaps? What other ways are there to get BHP that high without touching the engine internals?

What a pointless post And what about this one? I dont know if its my computer as im on the train from Oxford in (wireless may have a problem with tags and such. But i take it others can see them? Yes we can. Get a better computer Looks like another excellent job chaps

Im going to do mine pretty much as per pg2 of this guide http://www.ricks2k.com/info/instructions/350Z.pdf Any gotchas there guys that have removed the bumper before?

I would normally say buy it outright, as I prefer to own my stuff. My old man once told me that you should work to live and not live to work, and if your comapany wont suffer too much then you should get it. However in this case, as you are unsure and as it is a big commitment in terms of taking a loss for the business I would say why not lease for a year, and if you like it then get one outright by buying that one from them or getting a new one. That way you arent too tied in to it if you need the money for the business.

Thats the quide I used, or tried to use. However, on the passenger side (the first side they tackle) there is a bottle/resevoir in the way on mine. Hence the discussion about part removing the bumper as they do for drivers side. I'm going to attempt to do as they do for the drivers side for both sides on mine tomorrow night hopefully, and will post pics of how I get on. Pray for good weather

Do we know the chest sizes? I'm usually between a Small and Med, so would be good to know its not too big. Otherwise I'll just try and see

Is that like etched in 3D? So if you look from the front, its like looking at the front of the car? If so thats

Seen one on an Evo from MLR at the Reading meet. It was more expensive than the chap wanted to let on, but I seem to remember him saying it was about £400 all in. His system had two units, one was a multifunction unit for tuning or his gauges or something which hooked up to the ECU and the other was the actual HUD which hooked up to that and the speed sense wire. Sounds amazingly like system on the leemiks zed.

Shotgun! Will PM you in a sec

Yup, Forza sure is awesome. I'm level 28 and a bit now Havent taken my U999 Zed out for a while though, having to go back and do all the crappy D/C class series to get up to a higher level so I can do 500BHP championship.

I beleive it is, the infamous Ring of Death. They have since been redoing the cooling which stops it overheating, but still deny making changes because of that!

Excellent - didnt get that far though his album last night to see that.

Have you read all of the posts in this thread? I started to write it a while ago, went to a meeting, posted it and all this has happened! How time flies eh! So when you come to Wellington Country Park later in the year, can we all get a ride in it

If you can afford A with all the extras its definately the one to go for. On a car like this you really need to know what you are getting. Say something goes wrong with B, clutch or something like that, and its not covered under warranty, how quickly can you burn that £14k? I bet pretty quickly looking at the prices you've quoted for other work! Defiantely see if the dealer can do the wheels and zorst at cost, hell, hes not making anything but hes still getting his sale.

I'll be up for a black medium when they become available.

Hehe, dont confuse Louis with croped sensors, he's not ready for that! I'm 90% sure the Nikon he is using will be a cropped sensor, so looking at yours and ours the focal lengths will be comparable as we all have cropped sensors. It is in the eBooks I sent Louis, albeit for Canon cameras. But hey they're all the same really. Just gotta go try it!

18-55 is the standard kit type lense. If you look at leemiks flickr album and click the link for "more properties" under the photos, it tells you the details inc focal length. One I saw was 10mm, which is wider than ours, but another was 17mm so ours may be wide enough. Just have to give it a go and see

Dont think it would be wide enough to get a full car shot from the next lane. Inside to outside lane on the motorway it would be though

Your going in the right direction matey, need to read those eBooks I gave ya Need to get me a wide angled lense. Closest I have is a 18-55 kit lense from my 350D as I never do wideangle work. Not sure what would be wide enough.

Sure hes been posting on here in the last few days
