Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Bit bored at work today so thought I would share some pics of my car with you. She is now sold and is being picked up on March 18th so then the Z will be well on it's way!! I tried to keep it subtle but classy at the same time...hopefully I have succeded! Had quite a lot of success with her including 4 magazine shoots, including cover on one as well as 2 film shoots and a few trophies and awards along the way as well!! It will be sad to see her go as I have had 4 very good and fun years with her but it is time to move on and lets's face it, the Z will more than make up for it!! Let me know what you think!! Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 wow great ICE install! not into Cougars, but yours looks nice! PS hope you keep the reg plate for the Z! Quote
M13KYF Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Very nice mate. Looks like you put a lot of work in. Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks guys!!! The plate will be staying, don't worry about that and a bargain at only £399!!! The majority of the ICE will be staying as well.....have to admit I do have a big soft spot for my music and A/V stuff!! Did the majority of the work on it myself apart from the spraying so it is definatly a labour of love!! Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 ooh very good, hope you can stick around as we are a bit scarce in the ICE experts department Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 I'll be around for as long as you guys will have me!!! Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 are those Kahn's??? I'm sure they are the same as those on grant's Z Roadster! Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 Yes they are. They are 19" Kahn RS-V's!! Lovely wheels and one of my favourite things on the car! They are the $$ but are well worth it!! I had 2 sets of BK299's on there before the Kahn's went on and they were made of chocolate and buckled very easily!! Won't be going back there soon!!! Quote
Removed Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 grant's got the 20" version they look very good (Italians IIRC eheh) if a bit heavy Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 20's are the only way to go on a Z!! I would have loved to have gone 20's on the Coug but they would have hit the bottom of the front strut tower and then you are in a whole world of pain!!! Quote
Nick U Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Looks to me like you deffinatly achived subtle and classy. Im not really a fan of those, but that is deffinatly the nicest I have seen. Looks like a very nice ice install, especially when you have done most of the work. I take it you will be doing something similar to the Z? Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks mate!! Yes I will be doing something similar to the Cougars ICE in the Z all be it with not so much equipment to keep the weight down so I can keep my fun levels up!!! I have to say I hate the standard Cougars but when I got it, no-one had done one before and I fancied a challenge and I think it turned out ok!!! It's stressed me out more than anything else in my life due to the lack of available parts so pretty much everything internally is bespoke but it all adds to the individuality!! I do like modifying cars but I can't stand all the Saxo's and Corsa's you see about with their HUGE kits and 1.2 engines but I would like to create something similar to the Cougar with the Z....something classy but still practical and fun to drive.

With you on that one. Here's to a success. Quote
Andy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks mate! I'll try not to embarass you all at any shows I go to with you all!! Roll on V6NOS MkII!!! Quote
Grant Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Andy, I was following a silver cougar tonight and I was quite admiring its looks. I have always thought that they are a great looking but sadly overlooked car. Yours look great, not chav, just about right. You can't have those RSV one piece wheels on a 350z, they don't fit , shame really because I think they look reasonable. You'll have to get something else . Grant Quote
Nick U Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks mate! I'll try not to embarass you all at any shows I go to with you all!! Roll on V6NOS MkII!!! Looking forward to seeing it buddy. Personal plates are the way ahead... Quote

Andy Posted March 9, 2006 Author Posted March 9, 2006 It's ok mate, as much as I love the RS-V's, I want to get something with a stupidly big dish on it for the Z! Quote
