  1. What crap luck! Ruislip is literally up the road from me, what dealer did you get it from?
  2. Thanks for the reply again, I think I am set on what to buy now so will order it all by the weekend. I'm in West London area. Edit: Pretty much everything you your recommended has been ordered through a relatives company, should all be here Monday . I also managed to get hold of a few DJ clay bars at stupid money. I'm tempted to let the car get filthy before the next clean just to see what I can do with it . I probably won't polish the car until a day or two before Japfest though .
  3. Not really sure of my budget. I can get the Kestral DAS6 for just under £50 on family member staff discount. I currently have Dodo Juice Blue Velvet for a wax and Autoglym Super Resin Polish. So really I guess I have about £50 to spend on pads/polishes. My car has very few cosmetic issues, a few scratches here and there some of which will probably need touching up with something like "Dr Color Chip" but I'm sure some can be polished out. I guess at the end of the day, I would like to get the car to the best finish I can. Thanks again.
  4. "LIGHTS CRAP RETURNED NO REFUND AVOID!!!! ****er!!!!!!! CON-ARTIST!!! ****!!!!!!! * Reply by jdmhondaparts (24-Mar-11 05:07): Offered full refund. No item returned. buyer would not give tracking or receipt 90-97 Mazda MX5, Eunos Black Projector Headlights (#120674265174)" Brilliant .
  5. Dare I ask why it's your second 350z in 5 years .
  6. As the title states: http://www.cartouchuppaints.co.uk/index.php Seems to be a similar product as the "Dr Color Chip" from the States. Comes with the lacquer etc for about £14.99. Wondered if anyone has used it before.
  7. Thanks for the reply Tez, very useful indeed. I am probably going to order a Kestral DAS6 from a relative who works in that sort of business. I currently use Autoglym Super Resin Polish wich from what I have been told has little to no cut. Someone on Cleanyourcar.co.uk recommended someone else to use DJ Lime & Prime for a light cut, but as I really could use some clarification. In the same post the guy went on to say he uses DJ L&P, Autoglym SR & then Poorboys Black Hole Glaze, seemed excessive but I'm no expert.
  8. The wing mirror bits look like ears . Do they come in black? The white is a little garish for me.
  9. Tut-tut look at that parking job . Gorgeous car, now be honest how fast did you go?
  10. Book the appointment, obviously not at a garage 20 miles away & take the phone number & address of the garage with you. Like Rancer said, it isn't something the police will get too worried about unless they have a good reason to be.
  11. Don't forget, a couple of electric heated seats in the car would weigh in a fair bit also.
  12. I remember kangarooing down the road a while back for what seemed like ages (thank God no one was around) and I put it in 2nd gear and it was fine. Like others have said, sometimes hitting the accelerator to harshly in low revs can cause it. I have a slight moment on the way home from work today as I was going around a turn which is downhill and wasn't paying enough attention to realise I was still in first gear as I hit the throttle.
  13. I have a little 100 bar Makita washer. Perfect for use on a car and I would never need one capable of huge pressures as all I would end up doing is taking the paint off the car . I did take off the original Makita handle and swapped it for a Karcher one, simply because almost everything you need will 9/10 be available in a Karcher attachment. Although, all I need for the car is a variable lance (switch between a fan of water and a high power jet) and my Snowfoam Lance. I got everything off eBay for about £55 total .
  14. Thanks for the reply. I will probably get the Kestrel DAS6.
  15. Thanks for the reply guys. I will PM Tim as I have another few questions for him already about some stuff I am after.
  16. Welcome. Mod 1 - iPod mod. Mod 2 - Cookbot automatic wing mirrors mod.
  17. I borrowed a friends polisher the other week and as you would expect, now want one . So apart from having to wade through the various polishers out there, I also see there are different grades of pads... Can anyone tell me the difference please and what uses I would use for each (if needed at all). Some polishers come with nothing and some come with a plethora of things, most of which will never be used. So what would be the main things I would need? Thanks
  18. Maybe but who cares. Seems like it would be a good time to sell the 220 with the nicer weather we have been having.
  19. Not much of a fan of Ewan Dobson, his technical ability is simply brilliant but just not my thing. I love acoustic guitar and play a fair bit myself. I really like guys like Antoine Dufur, Don Ross & Jimmy Wahlsteen amongst many others. This is fantastic stuff:
  20. Where in Surrey are you guys?
  21. I have seen about 4 since buying mine, 2 370z and someone around the corner from my work has a GTR. I like the fact I don't see many, makes it feel a little bit more exclusive, everywhere I look I see Z4's and Boxter's.
  22. I'm obviously living in the wrong part of the country. Looked like a great morning out.
  23. I had the same issue when I did the iPod mod. The tape button got stuck behind the facia and wouldn't allow me to switch between tape/CD/radio.
  24. That's mad. My insurance is less than yours and I'm 23...
