badCOK Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Hi Guys Im Paul, 26 from South london, Purley. Thought it was about time I introduced myself formally, seeing as i spend a large part of my day reading threads on the forum! Been a car enthusiast for a little while now, seem to only last a matter of months before i swap my cars over! Much like many of you id imagine! Owned an E46 M3, which i spent a small fortune in over the course of two years, Supersprint lightweight Race exhaust, and genuine BBS LMs to name my two fav mods. Decided to part ways as i missed the sleekness of a proper coupe. Decided to go down be economical route, and picked up a 2008 Audi TT tdi. Was pretty nippy, but i massively missed owning a performance car! Subsequently, the TT lasted a total of 41 days before i picked up my 2007 313 350z. And here she is... So far im massively in love, just fighting to not spend any money on mods! Cheers Paul Quote
Jp606 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Lovely How do you compare it to the M3? You've come to the wrong place if you don't want to spend money, this forum is bad on the wallet!! Edited March 7, 2014 by Jp606 1 Quote
ZEUS Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Welcome along but walk away if you don't want to spend on mods and be on here Quote
badCOK Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers guys On paper the M3 is quicker and more powerful. Ive been an active member of M3 cutters for a few years now, and the general feeling on there is that they are quicker. Persoanlly, i dont care! The 350z just feels more raw to me, and brutal. I feel like the 350 has more character too, even starting it up every morning is an event in itself! Love the sountrack! Think im going to struggle with keeping her OEM. Im going to get myself some spacers, thinking 25mm alround, and possibly get an Eibach Pro Springs kit to drop her abit. 1 Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Welcome to the forum, let us know if you want the spacers and springs as per the PM you sent... Quote
Jp606 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I've nearly had mine a year now and still get that feeling every time I drive her, it always feels like an event. I don't think that feeling will wear off Springs, ARBs and exhaust are a must IMO, completely transforms the car. 1 Quote
Bems Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 you've lost the battle already my friend, I can tell 1 Quote
ZEUS Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 What you said about starting the zed is an event is very true, I've had mine three and a half years and it still feels like an event when I turn the key and it fires! 1 Quote
tony.r123 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Zeditus is extremely contagious ! and lethal to your wallet Quote

Great looking M3 but even better looking Zed. Quote

chirag1988 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Great choice of car and best model too I thought mine sounded beautiful as stock, then I got the cobra exhaust and boy did her vocals open up! Quote
Steel Lynx Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Welcome to the forum Paul. If it will make you feel any better, I also failed to resist modding my car after joining the forum so you won't be alone Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Purley, very local to myself in coulsdon let me know if you need any help with anything Hi, I'm also in coulsdon and I've got a black 313 too. Eibach springs might be a bit too low for the croydon area. Depends if you like humps or not. My teins scrape as it is. Must save for kw hls coilovers. Quote
badCOK Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Haha cheers lads! Ill have to come and check out your cobra exhausts....had a sleepless night....exhausts on the brain Quote
andywatson Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi Paul, ex- Cutter myself M3 - Cooper S - 350Z House move forced my hand, went economical, 4 weeks, 1 tank of fuel, 1 wash hated the Cooper with a passion love my Z and yes the turn of the key sounds great, Z has a lot of character and "fun" elements but I do miss my M3, power, SMG gearbox, and those simple things like auto lights. Only 2nd Jap car out of 70 I have owned, like it a lot, proper rear wheel motor! Quote
