Afternoon folks, As the title suggests, looking for things to do at the Isle of Wight if anyone has been. We are taking an impromptu trip over there for the weekend, got Ferry and B&B all sorted. Any suggestions on good (and cheap) things to do? The OH wants to go to Osborne House? (sounds boring, but could help if the weather is poor ). There is also talk of a donkey Sanctuary I have also found folks recommending the A3055 coast road to the South West - as Sunday will hopefully a good day to stretch the legs on the '70 Cheers, Matt!

Oof that has a nice presence!! Wheels look spot on mate!

I did not. Learn something new every day

Ordered up some Mobil 1 0W-40 New Life Fully Synthetic from Opie Oils. Not a bad price, plus a cheeky discount

Thanks Rich, I'm sure there is a lot of opinions on this but just wanted to be sure that either would be OK

Thread revival yes yes whatever....dont care! This is THE nicest 370 I've seen to date. Those front wings are perfect!

Just a quick question. I'm booking the Z in for its service this week. To keep the stamps up to date I am booking in with Westover Nissan to keep the service book stamped (the other half works there), and I should be able to provide my own oil. The service print out they provided says Oil Change 0W40. But majority of online searches seems to hint at 5W30 being the best option. Just wondered what the general consensus was on this? I'll be getting fully synth regardless, but wanted to check for the best weight. Cheers

Wow Not wasting anytime on this eh!

Looks good mate. Are you running 25mm spacers? is the car lowered or stock? I'm currently planning the next mod so always good to see others

Give me a chance

Always liked these wheels!! Really subtle build made, right up street

Are you Dorset based? (I'm on the mobile so can't see your avatar details). A very similar car drove past me in Ferndown yesterday after work. Oh, and welcome to the club. Car looks awesome

Only a few weeks then! Best hurry along and sort this out

Hah that's a good figure on yours I use an mpg app (just a habit from my previous car as it didn't have a computer). The mpg display on my '70 is very accurate against the app - biggest gap was 0.2mpg but I put that down to rounding as the car goes up in 0.3's. I am a little surprised by mine on a run compared to my old DE. With cruise control set to 71 i struggle to get over 30mpg, where as the DE would regularly return 34-36.

Had the Nur on my old MR2 Turbo, the 3SGTE sounds the business with a Nur

Looks great David! I have been speaking with Paul about the kit for the '70, also deceptively tricky to reverse! The kit also support a second video input so looking to rig up some gauges like my PC build had

Two LeMans blue '70s! Common as muck now eh Adele

Thanks mate, the wheel nuts came up a treat so will give that a try when I'm doing my springs/spacers

Looks great mate. Silly question, but what's APC?

Clue is in the thread title

Finally found the thread!! I remember speaking you at JAE, lovely looking motor! Pics were very helpful as I am currently deciding on which lowering springs to buy (to use along with my 25mm spacers). Did you raise the front up in the end? Are is it still running on the springs? I ran eibach springs on my old 350 and they were great, but conscious of how much lower the 370 is overall before springs! Do you have any issues with the side steps catching, as I will likely fit these to mine at some point. Cheers mate, Matt

Quite an old image now, but still enjoy this one from when i got to shoot Busters Zed.

I think so mate. The previous owner of mine mentioned about having to trim a small piece near the headlights (?)

This won't hang around at that price! GLWTS mate

Nice work mate!!
