  1. Emblem Sports Cars is Poole apparently: https://skimmydiscs.co.uk/your-nearest-service-centre
  2. Before you go spending money are your current discs actually worn? Bear in mind the car comes with Brembos as standard, Stoptechs are not the same quality so your paying more to downgrade. Discs dont actually "warp", they pick up deposits on the braking surface so a skim may well be all you need
  3. Brave, brave man Bella is pretty much how youd spec a baby if you could (never cries, comes out to pubs/restaurants with us, sleeps a solid 12 hours every night) but its still grief and hassle, while weve got away without too much pain with 2 I think our lives would be considerably less enjoyable. Whatever you do dont buy 2 Beagles as well and DEFINITELY dont go for the third, this is when your "cars" start becoming "vans", you need a bigger house and can only afford to go on holiday once in the rest of your life Congrats mate, "well in" as they say
  4. Even if you are really limited on cash then the DS2500s are still the better bet but Id strongly advise spending a bit more and getting RS29, Carbotech XP10 or the daddy on a 350Z for me, CL RC5+. You only get one chance to stop before you hit the barrier, and where the DS2500's will be giving up the RC5's will have another 3 laps in them, much better feel and control too.
  5. Was the SXOC chairman at one point so owned loads of S12s, 13's and 14's, just the one 350 though. The 370 isnt/wasnt different enough for me and the GTR although amazing doesnt really light my candle. All about German cars for me now, my trackcar is a 135i, daily is a Phaeton that will prob be replaced with a big Merc or Bentley CGT, missus has a Golf GTi that we are looking at replacing with a Touareg - even the rental cars I get when I travel tend to be German. Jap stuff doesnt really interest me at all, they dont quite do luxury as well as ze Germans and the performance options arent out there anymore - I am seriously considering getting some 90's classics in as investments though.
  6. Likewise, its surprising more didnt move onto the 350Z after the 200 - cant say the same for BMW's or MX5s though
  7. Dualtechs, it was a while ago but when I came to sell the car on it handled so well the guy couldnt believe it hadnt had anything else done to it Ive got Meister GT1 on my current car and Im pretty blown away with them for the money but would probably still stick HSDs on a Z33 if I ever got another one.
  8. I remember playing it in arcades, there was ACTUAL FEEDBACK FROM THE STEERING. In 1989 that wasnt just groundbreaking, it was sorcery.
  9. The clue is in the thread title ...........
  10. Fast road, I was actually used as the test car so they were rather less expensive in my case
  11. Aye, had the engine mounts fitted to mine and was very impressed with them. Not cheap but worth the money if youre changing/upgrading.
