  1. Apart from the group shots, only one 370
  2. We done this a few times on 350 Zed's with good results. BHP or sound ? Maybe BHP, slightly, sound? Less slightly probably
  3. S7 ****, I was on the train (driving it actually )
  4. All I've got is the before shots at the mo I'll get on the case then
  5. Likewise! To me as it's my first car it's a beast already - I'm modding for the sound, not extra power! Hmm, I doubt if the HFC's with a stock exhaust would create a "nicer" sound, this is why we fit aftermarket systems, to improve the sound, the HFC's further enhance the aftermarket systems. Nissan missed a trick here, with what really is a bespoke sports car, they could have done what Porsche/Audi/Maserati/Lambo all do and fit "Sports" Exhausts that come into there own at certain RPM, or can be shut off altogether.
  6. I'm pretty sure that there'll be quite a few that have most of the jigsaw behind the "intelligence" to provide answers. There is of course all the stuff that MI5/6 have already furnished various governments with. Yvonne Fletchers murderer is well known to our intelligence services as is the real story, or rather culprits behind the Lockerbie atrocity.
  7. Syria next, getting ready for the all out assault to support the Israeli's zapping of Iran
  8. Whatever you get, and my biased opinion is Akrapovic Evolution , get a set of HFC's, again I'm biased toward Berks, you certainly won't regret it
  9. Sure does mate And there's no more "Merkin" type fat arse roll Not had much of a play yet but on the way home from the Garage yesterday, I hit one of my favourite sweeping bends and it felt awesome, no more over correction due to what I felt was excessive roll She now looks quite slammed
  10. I had a RX8 for 4 years, pleasantly modded and owned from new. The RX8 is bags of fun, very nimble and very, very chuckable around the twisties. The TG track times are very similar, which can either mean something or nothing, I like to think that it represents the real world, bends and stuff. The 350 and the RX8 posted the same times, so they are similarly matched on a typical road. Put some talent behind the wheel of an RX8 and a driver such as one with my ability in a 350 and there will only be one winner, not me!! That said, the biggest reason, apart from a lack of updates and facelifts etc that convinced me to sell up was that the RX8 lacked one overwhelming factor, that was torque, but then again the wankle needs to be revved. For me the lack of torque was most evident on two occasions, going up Stelvio was one, another was when a 350 left me for dead, going backwards, felt like I was in a peddle car, on the straight. The RX8, even the R3, has had it's day, well past it actually, the fuel consumption, depreciation, flooding etc.., and the lack of Mazda support together with pitching the car at blue collar levels meant that it was never going to be a classic. I had tremendous fun and many happy memories in my RX8, but there are better cars out there and if you're not fussed by a two door, two seater, the 350 is a great car, bit dated now IMHO, but with a few tasteful mods, can be made to look very up to date. Sadly, your RX8 is worth F all, so anytime is a good time to get rid. Oh BTW, this club, as you've noticed, is free to all, unlike the RX OC and I don't have a 350, but a 370, an altogether different fish
  11. Should come in quite handy if someone takes a potshot at her ears
  12. Eibach's being fitted tomorrow . Should, along with the spacers already on her, make her look mean , and hopefully stiffen the ride up a bit
  13. PMSL! Sarcasm does not become you George. 370 does look good in black too mate. I saw one parked next to yours today! Yeah mate, couldn't keep up with it either , must get myself one
  14. Whatever shade it is Stevie, it's stunning , I especially like the door finish you had on it today
  15. ....and a piccie would be nice
  16. Sorry mate only just seen this Unfortunately they're not fitted yet, one of my daughters has just bought a house and I'm in the middle of a re-furb at the mo. I'm needing new boots soon so I'm going to get the springs fitted and have a full geometry check done at the same time Don't worry tho', I'll be posting before and after piccies, I'm guessing that it'll look sweet
  17. The G Man

    Amuse Skirts

    Very nice, +1 on the wrap, but a very cool addition
  18. Have you checked the cubby hole behind the drivers seat for the manual? Assuming the roadster has one?!?
  19. This issue can be sorted fairly easy from inside the cabin. The gear surround and centre console have to come out and the rubber gear gaiter unbolting (4 x 10mm bolts), then you find 3 x 10mm bolts holding the selector shaft. These need to be slackened off so the triangular metal plate can be moved left slightly to stop you overshooting and going too far to the right when trying to get 6th. Go and see Nissan and get it done on warranty. Thanks for the pointer I'll book her in ASAP
  20. Mostly barely disguised green eyed monster, then ****, then "you're getting paid too much", then again, I don't care If you stick in at school............, that's what I say
  21. Not had any real bother other than over enthusiasm getting from third to fourth, most of my trouble comes in finding sixth, I will probably get Nissan to have a look at some point soon.
  22. If you're in the Z, then take a run up here http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-photo/ ... /tpod.html, we ate there last year, absolutely stunning views and food Just had a google at the distance, about 40km
  23. L'escargot Bleu or Blanc, French but top quality and relatively inexpensive, I'd recommend the Flotant(sp?) for pud http://www.lescargotbleu.co.uk/, enjoy
