  1. If only I didnt have a wedding, fences and the tax man to pay, those Kefs would make a nice upgrade to my 1005's I currently have GLWS, thats a cracking system for someone looking to start or upgrade to a decent HT setup
  2. The bigger issue will be that phone manufacturers arent writing good enough drivers for it, I doubt its Andriods fault too much. They'll get there eventually, look at how Windows has progressed on the UI front. It will seemingly always lag behind Apple though as they have very tight coupling of the hardware and software. Not something easily achieved by OS's that support multiple hardware configs. Google may make this better now they have a phone manufacturer in their pocket though
  3. Mine has about 95HP/l (if you guesstimate fly values). The 350 used to have about 80HP/l.
  4. What Andy said. Unless you are feeling a bit flush and decide to get a local inderpendant to give it an oil change. Just make sure you dont put fully synth in the engine as its not run in yet
  5. Saw this yesterday on TC and looks very cool They've done a great job in minuturising the components required for the touch to work properly
  6. Shouldnt be using anything less anyway I had this kind of treatment done on my old 350z for free at the dealer and can say it made sod all difference to how the car ran and MPG. Personally I'd leave it alone unless you have a reason to use it.
  7. My missus asked what exhaust I was going to put on mine as soon as she heard a stock 370z in the flesh - said it sounded crap compared to our 350z w/ Nismo
  8. Some of us just get too tempted by an upgrade - Colin especially!
  9. Just imagine a Veyron with a custom map
  10. Just need someone to donate a 370z to him to do the same to that
  11. However stupid, I'd be interested to see how they manage it
  12. Seen parts of it at various car shows and it looks awesome
  13. +1 - I love seeing this stuff as I dont have the balls to do it to my own
  14. VR38DETT is based on the long running VQ, so its a lot closer than you think. True it has a lot of differences, but the block is just a 3.7l block vs 4.0l block, but very closely related in layout. So it does sound about the same. Obviously at full tilt they will sound pretty different due to the turbos.
  15. Corrected that for you To me its not even a choice, you have to get it done to give the car the voice it deserves. I know a lot of people think it will make it chavvy and loud, but stock its just so quiet. It just makes it a nice level, quiet when cruising and around town at low revs and a nice bit of bark when giving it beans
  16. Ah I kind of assumed they were pretty much the same price, but looking at them on autotrader, they are sub-20k. Depends if you want to save a few quid and get one a few years old or get a nearly new 370z which would cost a bit more. I think if it were me I'd be having a drive in both and see which way it sways you.
  17. Fuel prices will never drop
  18. Must admit I've not kept my eye on the Z4M's. When was the last year they were made? Maybe I'd swing for a second hand Z4M then if they are cheaper than a 370z if you're looking for a second hand car and dont mind it being older.
  19. We loved him really...... no really we did I remember Phil stopped answering the phone to him
  20. Yeah I know he was talking about the 350z, I was just pointing out the 370z can easily be made to keep up, and probably cheaper than a Z4M would cost to buy
  21. 370z with uprev and exhaust/intake would give it a good go though. 370z - ~340HP and 1,466 kg (from wikipedia and the fact my car dyno'd at 308WHP which add transmission losses of ~30HP) Z4M - 343HP and 1,495 kg (from some random article on Google) Would make an interesting race
  22. I know which one I'd have and its in me garage atm
  23. Vid on pg21 sounds very very similar to my 370z - I guess with them being quite similar engines if you forget the turbos. The build looks awesome
