  1. Love that pic!! Not sure if the GTRs are huge or the 240 is tiny Darren you sure you built right? it looks a little small and if you do ever decide to sell (and I really hope you dont) please speak to me first! Swap?
  2. Woohoo I didn't bend it & SMD didn't wet the seat What a buy Adrian, after seeing & driving your car earlier I have to retract my previous views on the GTR. That is one awesome car, the only criticism I have is that it covers its speed a little to well (hope you have some room on your license) Well done mate, I know how relentlessly hard you work with your businesses, you deserve it So does anyone want to buy a 240z & 987 boxster S?????
  3. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quite a collection of cars you will have by the weekend Freelander, X5 370z Cayman-S GTR want to buy my van?
  4. Wishful thinking You might get free delivery if you ask nicely
  5. You saw my Gold one last year & just had to have one didn't you?
  6. You are a laugh. Anything to show off your sig. Good advertising that. I can see you are trying hard as your time is limited. Tesla is the future. I am being a prick now just thought I would wind you up a bit. hahaha why would you even say that? if he wanted to show off his sig I think he would post up a new Torqen product :headbang: & if you think you are winding him up, your probably winding yourself up as no doubt he is laughing at how much of a foolish post you have just made :lol: :lol:
  7. Wow this didn't take long to escalate, The OP has admitted a number of wrong doings that have probably been the cause of his unfortunate accident, poor driving standard, lack of experience & bad car setup. But to be fair he is being a brave guy & sharing his c*** up publicly, This is supposed to be a forum for like minded enthusiasts, where we help each other out with both good & bad experiences with the cars were enthusiastic about. Are you PC Power? & it's 'BOI Racers innit bruv'. Maybe you should skip the tesla forums & join the prius ones
  8. That is a very good point! but surely the pins would make one score if in contact with the bore as the piston can't rotate on the con-rod. From what I have read the bore scoring is caused by the pistons become oval shaped as a result of heat. The piston skirt is seems very short though
  9. He's your brother, you have to GIVE it to him!! Well I did propose a good deal to hime yesterday, we could just swap,
  10. Let me know when it's finished & I'll buy it from you
  11. So I'm now torn, I have the 987 Boxster S which imo is a great car but after spending a few hours in a Cayman S last night I'm trying to justify why I shouldn't upgrade to Adrians car The Cayman is dynamically better than the Boxster but not by much & has a bit more poke, so do I or don't I buy your car Adrian???
  12. Oh & my vote would have been C
  13. We all knew this would be the case though. I'd be more surprised if Adrian didn't change something tbh. He hasn't even bought a car yet
  14. 2012 onwards yeah — it has some kind of heat exchange between oil and coolant. It was made standard from 2012. I understand that isn't any good for tracking the car, but for enthusiastic driving its fine. This oil/water cooler is standard on all uk 350 & 370's
  15. Right I'm going to have my 2p, I bought a 987 Boxster S a couple of months ago as my daily, Although I'm a huge fan of the Z car, the porsche I a far better drivers car, feel,grip,balance,handling. The power is good to, my 3.2s level pegs in straight line performance to a 350zHR & on track leaves the 350's sucking on v-power vapour. The only downsides against a zed car is that the 987 doesn't drift like a zed.
  16. Try cornering a little quicker to get the most out of your tyres
  17. Without seeing/hearing the noise it would be hard to diagnose, but possibly an engine or gearbox mount, otherwise as previously mentioned the flywheel hitting it's stops
  18. Ahahaha I have plans for the door cards but no rush, went out for a little drive this evening & the seats have transformed the experience, no longer having to hold myself in place with the steering wheel & my knees whilst cornering
  19. Yes you can get a 350z bumper in your 350z Might be worth putting a dust sheet over your seats & trims though
  20. Not been any updates for a while as I've been out enjoying the car, North Wales, Lake District & Donnington so certainly done a few miles in the car now. Loved every one of them Managed to get a few hours on the cars today, what else can you do on a rainy Sunday. Went & collected these beauties I had some plans for the original seats in the car Got the new seats swapped over in the porker Then I took these, used the wiring diagram I have to pin out the electric operation, made a loom Then cut up some steel & fitted to the 240's existing seat fixings Then fitted them in the 240z I know the purists will hate these, but comfort & support out weighs the originals, which I can swap back in about 30mins, So now the 240z has bluetooth hands free & electric seats :lol: As it was still raining I decided to sort out my centre gauges, so removed the centre (ammeter/fuel) & the clock, stripped them both down & installed a voltmeter from a 260z in place of the ammeter & the clock with a working one,
  21. I reckon Pc Powah trip was involved with this, The guy is a bit of a tool for posting his mug shot publicly in the video
  22. The car looks amazing, an awesome presence on the road & it was a pleasure driving with you today
  23. This is what mine has had done at h-dev ..... Just waiting on uprev to sort the tables to be able to map it in . Major floor in the stillen design if you ask me Will be interested to see the results, I'm sure it will end up in a better, smoother tune. How many temp sensors do you have & where have they been positioned? are they just taken from the maf loom? Trouble is Stillen made the kit to a cent, supplying additional temp sensors would have cost them more money. It's as if they spent all their time designing the intake manifold & pipe, then just didn't bother on the rest of it.
