Blitzkrieg Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Everyone! My names Chris and I'm living in Essex at the moment working for a major motor manufacturer. I've been hanging onto my last car until I was 25 and could get something exciting. Recently test drove E46 M3, Boxster, S2000, RX8 and 330ci but none of them had the right balance of price, performance, practicality looks. I've recently sold my Astra Coupe, Pictured below driving round a German toll road And I've bought a fully loaded completely standard 350Z! Only problem is now I cant fit this in my car Any who... I love my new car already and I'm busy making it perfect. First on the list is new discs and pads all round Then it needs new FEAD belts I'm tempted to get a new Intake system, for a bit more performance and theater Bonnet and front bumper need to be resprayed Wheels could do with refurbishment Oh and then need to find a good bike rack. I'm planning on doing the odd track day and going back to the ring this year. Dose anyone have advice on brakes for occasional track use at a reasonable price? and any opinions on air intakes, thinking K&N Typhoon Also I have heard the brakes over heat on track, so doing research now to see how bad the problem is and simple brake cooling solutions Here from you all soon!

Blitzkrieg Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Gutenabend EH 370z und hello to everyone else. My German is rubbish by the way. Car had to be azure blue as far as I was concerned as it has to stand out in a car park of 4000 petrol heads. Quote
Daryl Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Hi and welcome. What part of Essex you from? Quote
AK350Z Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Only problem is now I cant fit this in my car *cough* Not true *cough* Quote
Blitzkrieg Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 Unfortunately the bike has to have wheels, handle bars and front suspension to make it useable, so pretty sure I cant slide it in the boot. I'm in Hawkwell near Rayliegh. I get the wonderful drive of the A127 everyday, which is a road without z'edness (or zebra crossings) Quote
bronzee Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Welcome. Have a search in the newbies area, there are a few people that have fitted racks on the back. Quote
