SifuSteve Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 I got it as a fun distraction to keep me busy in the down time while I'm working away from home. It's made the weekly commute a lot of fun and has become a bit of a big boys toy. I've been lurking on these forums for a year or so and have found the information so much better than that testosterone-charged 'other forum', so thank you to anyone who, without knowing it, has already helped me. She's had the following pamperings although these were a case of "The part's either broken or on the way out, so I might as well upgrade it." (By Abbey) Full Milltec exhaust Blox plenum spacer Super Hybrid Air Re-flash ECU and dyno (By Newton & Bailey, Lincoln) JWT clutch and lightweight flywheel Torqen master cylinder Mishimoto oil catch can 19" Drifz alloys with spacers (and, I presume, fake Nismo decals) (By me...) Zunsport front grill Black badges Decals Never thought I'd see a car as more than a tool but she's been a really welcome distraction from missing home. Still nod sold on the red protective rim on the wheels and the decals are maybe a little too cringey... Thanks again, Steve 3 Quote
HEADPHONES Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Welcome to the OC Been a great summer this year for a convertible Quote
SifuSteve Posted September 19, 2020 Author Posted September 19, 2020 Cheers guys. @HEADPHONES Yeah, it's been a great summer to have the roof down, but it's taken its toll: An old tear has ripped open and worsened and I have a bunch of new ones forming. Tuff tape arrived today, Stormseal arrives tomorrow. Her next pamper will have to be a new roof... Quote
Lee370Z Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Hello and welcome. I do love a Roadster. Agree and it has been a great summer to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Quote
Olly350z Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Glad you've seen a car can be way more then just a tool! Where about are you located, I saw a black roadster with black wheels in Findon (Worthing) a few weeks back. I was in my nismo Quote

Where about are you located, I saw a black roadster with black wheels in Findon (Worthing) a few weeks back. I was in my nismo I work in Bedfordshire during the week but live in Lincoln. You probably saw the same black roadster that I saw last year that made me want black wheels! As it happens, the wheels were an accidental find: When I got the Abbey work done, there was nothing really cosmetic. It was a real step up in drive but I 'had nothing to show' for the 4 figures I'd put down on it. So when it went in for the clutch work, I promised myself a cosmetic 'treat'. I popped on eBay and found someone auctioning off '19" Nisan 350z alloys'. That typo may have been the reason I won them for £210. I HOPE it was the reason... I don't like the red protection strip much and the badly applied Nismo decals are cringey but they were 19" and black. I'm 1200 miles in on them and so far, so good. Quote

Next up is a Celica GTS spoiler as I've seen one in the flesh and genuinely thought it was from some edition I didn't know about. It seemed to round out her notoriously fat arse when the roof's up.

jnkent36 Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Hi and welcome, I live just south of Lincoln and also have a Roadster, I'll have to keep an eye out for yours. I'll be interested to see what yours looks like with the spoiler as I've often though the back end looked a bit bare! Quote
