    Pedal feel

    Think it's more like a litre, so I'd be getting 1.5L just in case.

    If a car is tracked, I'd strongly suggest changing the brake fluid on an annual basis, so I reckon yours is well passed it's best. I would strongly recommend the ATE Super Blue fluid. I've switched to that from the RBF600 then the 660, and it's fabulous stuff. Boiling point is near as dammit as good as the Motul, but it's about half the price so you can afford to change it twice as often I wouldn't have thought the worn rears would be causing you this problem.
  3. Might want to just change your font size a bit Ben, your posts are coming out very small and hard to read
  4. Hi Ben, Great idea, hopefully all the members here will get behind this too In answer to your questions: 1. On an early DE engine car (which is where I presume budget will dictate you start from), with the right bits you might get as high as 310bhp, but anything over that you're going to struggle without FI. Any of the SC or FI setups could see you comfortably at 360, although it's not impossible that you'd get more than that on even the most basic setup. If you could get a later HR engined car then I reckon you'd get to nearer 340. Of course with either engine you could go crazy with cams etc but then you may sacrifice reliability. 2. You could get down to close to 1200kg I should think, if you're going for a full strip. Couple of chaps on here would have a better idea than me (MrLizard, Bizz, Keyser, Zmanalex?) 3. I believe you can safely chop away the bits you don't want, the 350Z isn't a canbus setup so go crazy! 4. On a road car you'd lose a little torque with a decat setup and NA, but on a race car you'll be at high rpms so no probs there. With decats and a straight through exhaust you'd be over the limit, so a single in-line carbon bike siliencer should work, or anything like that you'd wish to use. 5. No kits that I'm aware of. Personally I'd go with the KW V3 springs and dampers, Eibach ARBS, and some camber/toe correction arms too. Bang for buck, I don't think there's much out there to touch that setup even if you started spending silly money. Proven and reliable, too.

    BMW 335i E9x

    What a beautiful colour Didn't realise that the EDC was an option on these cars, ironically that's something I would try to avoid to avoid expensive repair bills in the future.
  6. Yeah, still need more info. So you did this via the MIB, correct? And this went to court, and your final payout from them was £2800? Why did you not use your own insurance company, or an accident management company? Did the MIB handle directly or use an AMC?
  7. If you want to waste your money then go ahead, but I see absolutely no benefit to spending more money on something like that. A standard alternator will be perfectly fine
  8. Snake oil. The last thing you want is an alternator you cannot rely on, and one that only charges half the time and relies on an electrical signal is not one I would trust.

    Bucket Seats

    All bucket seats are not the same. I would STRONGLY recommend you sit in any ones you're thinking about buying before shelling out for them, as some are much more comfortable than others. Budget doesn't always help either, as I've sat in some £800 seats that weren't anywhere near as comfy as my cheapy Sparco Sprint ones.
  10. If you're doing the clutch, definitely do the flywheel too as it makes a huge difference having a lightweight one on these cars
  11. My god, the delay between him asking for an upshift and actually getting one...!

    Zele Rear Diffuser

    Diffuser = Big yes. Badge = Big no.

    CAR TRIM

    Ah, gotcha, thanks Doesn't really look like a V when it's splayed that far apart though.
  14. Don't make it smaller, just make the bonnet fit the badge. Either fill it or cut it out to sit flush. You've got 12v literally right under the bonnet, and waterproofing it wouldn't be so hard either. As it stands, in the window it just looks a bit naff. As a front badge, it would be utterly unique and incredibly cool.

    CAR TRIM

    Too many Zs, it looks as tacky as when Ferrari do it with their prancing horse. What's the 6 all about?
  16. :lol: That was one of my favourite ever posts on here What your or his? Mine
  17. Pete, you're 100% wrong on this one: There is NO claim against the seller here. Listen to Comrade, he may only have 108 posts but they're absolutely bang-on in terms of advice. :lol: That was one of my favourite ever posts on here
  18. That needs to be the replacement for the front badge.
  19. I get Far Cry 4 for free because everyone complained about Assassin's Creed
  20. Yeah, a lot more. What happened? Start to finish.
  21. SE3 really is very good, played it on the PC in the summer and really enjoyed it
  22. I really like it. It's good to see something different, and it can really make the car stand out in a crowd.
