davedutch Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Well, after nearly three years the time has come to part ways with the 350Z, nice drive out today then off to the garage and agreed a px for a 09 plate 370Z I call it bronze log book calls it silver! Picking it up Wednesday. With lots of driving planned for next year I felt 103,000 miles was starting to push things! Wales - if it's on, in May Scotland and Lakez in June Ireland in August And as much of Europe as I can squeeze into 10 days in Sept So - things on my list of items "not" to change as clearly I won't be modding this one!!!! New exhaust New head unit Refurbished rims in black Gloss black roof, mirrors etc Tint rear screen and rear lights Spacers mpss tyres ( why would ANYONE put cheap c@#%p tyres on a 33,000 mile Z Can't think of anything else that I "wont" change but I'm sure Mitz at Cougar Store will have plenty of ideas on how to part me from money !!!! Pics to follow later this week Edited September 27, 2015 by davedutch 3 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Congrats on your new purchase! Goodyear mpss tyres?? What's that? Can't get the exhaust here before Wednesday, but before Friday it's doable :lol: 1 Quote

350zedd Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I hope you've kept enough cash to one side to fund your lad's "mini" Quote
veilside z Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Very nice buddy. Hope you have as much fun as with the 350 Quote
davedutch Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 I hope you've kept enough cash to one side to fund your lad's "mini" Just don't talk about money!!! Went to Castle Coombe on Saturday for a mini meet and came back with the whole set of fitted carpet to replace what's left of the original as well as details of an upholsterer in Stafford, and prices on a set of stock rims - the spending has already begun and neither car will be here until Wednesday. Also in the process of buying a flat to let, in the last month I have literally spent more than I earn in a year, flat deposit, legal fees and two cars !! Quote

Must be a year for it - My garage is so over budget it's starting to make the millennium dome look like a minor miscalculation! ! 2 Quote
davedutch Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Daft question and i'm feeling lazy so... Are the tyres the same size on stock 370 rims as the 350? Thinking I would prefer my existing tyres than the unknown c@%@p that some idiot has fitted to the 370 ( just trying to save a few quid short term ) Also will 350 spacers fit 370? Thinking of taking them off the 350. Quote
Keyser Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Standard 350 is 18" 370 is 19" so tyres may be a problem Spacers will fit - same stud pattern 370 wheels look good on a 350 not so sure the other way round Quote
davedutch Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Chris, no intention of swopping rims, just thought I might have got away with swopping tyres, in truth not much of a saving anyway as I would still need new tyres in a month or so. But I will now take the spacers off before Weds Thanks 1 Quote

Ha ha, good choice then! :lol: Don't spend all your available funds, I need some for your exhaust and spacers! Quote
JEMAN Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Well done ! I love the look of the 370......HAPPY DAYS Quote
davedutch Posted September 28, 2015 Author Posted September 28, 2015 Welcome to the 370 gang Jonny, having just caught up with your build thread my other half says I'm not aloud to talk to you !!! Too many ideas spring from your thread and I haven't taken delivery yet! Sometime soon I need to see yours in the flesh Quote
Wendy Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Dave - liking your style with the spending, just has to be done sometimes. Looking forward to seeing the 370 photos and on the Scotland trip. Bronze or silver - umm - quite different colours 1 Quote
370Ad Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Is it the GT version? If not the stocks rims are 18". Quote
