  1. News this morning was an unexpected bonus, the major news is still to be announced by the end of the month
  2. No doubt it can be done DIY, but a lot of people on here struggle to tie their shoe laces, nevermind install a set of cams I agree When I was considering upgrading, I was looking into a BBK as the cost wasnt hugely more & they look nice Aaah but then we take into account the fact that I was running 255/285 x 19" & much much lighter wheels & also with the mods I had a much lighter car (although I would probably make the difference up again ) As above, struggle to do shoe laces I think the U.S guys reckoned 12 hours to install cams? I'd definitley look at doing it DIY if there was a proper guide for it (There wasn't the last time I looked but there might be now) Simple reason for getting rid is that I regretted not going TT at the start There was sod all difference in cost but I bottled it and went for the safe option that & the fact that after 13 years chasing a GTR I will finally get one I'll be back in a Z one day though As for being a "baller" - nah don't believe in it, I'd been saving for years for it. I'm just lucky that I only have myself to take care of at the moment & get to spend my spare cash on myself Anyway, back on topic - I'd go ahead & get the MREV, its £400 & you will gain a bit more from it
  3. Love the colour I reckon the 370 looks better as a convertible than a coupe
  4. The point I'm making is that its a relatively cheap mod to do & will atleast gain him something You may well be right re: the cost of it, its not something I ever investigated Brakes - compared to what? like I said, on a road car stock brakes (or even uprated disks & pads are fine) IMO on a road car a BBK is overkill & you know how much I love overkill Suspension? I'd fancy my car to hold its own against yours on track Cusco coilovers & arbs weren't just for show You can pick up a set of BC cams new for about £700ish but the point about installation remains As for the cossie, that was just baller I actually cried a little when I sold it
  5. Comparing £ to HP you think that cams are better than a lower collector? Lower collector is roughly £250? and cams are rougly 3x that amount - before labour naturally Also don't forget that the HKS kit comes with its own oil supply & oil cooler & I believe cookbot already has an engine oil cooler Stock brakes are ok on a road car IMO, my car held up just fine on stock disks & pads and cams are a bitch of a job as are headers. Stock headers are also pretty good, certainly good enough to flow 400+ hp & definitely well enough to justify keeping them over the cost of a 10 hour labour bill just for install alone - the only reason I did them was because of the retarded cheap deal I got on them Lower collectors are also not designed for the DE cars which is why Nurrish never used one
  6. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's the daddy then? Pity I chickened out of buying at 8:05 when they had gone up 4% since opening and I thought, "nah - I'll buy them during the lunch-time lull" and they'd gone up 20%. was a good day
