4RE Leather

Its obvious what it is. It's a bracket for holding his Christmas Tree on the bonnet

I have a set of orange seats coming my way soon which I will refurbish if your seats are to knackered lol. Also Keyser may have a spare one, so no shortage. Dont go throwing good money away until you have looked at all the available options. Peter

Every time my mate gets near my car he beds the brakes in lol. I used to be a executive coach driver/Chauffer and tended to use the gear box and keep the vehicle moving. I have not got out of the habit and hardley ever use the brakes except at lights or the end of my journey. On a trip last week with Brooklands350 when a BMW joined the motorway and went straight across 3 lanes to be in the outside lane. Chris had to brake hard and i was a decent enough distance behind him to have plenty of time to brake. However the peddle was spongy and I am guessing by the marks on the disc, only about 1/3rd of the pad was actually being used! Lesson learnt. Now when I stop at lights or come off motorway I look to see if anything is behind me and do a 60mph hard stop. Interesting thread though

If you used the £50 pagid pads and tracked them I would expect them to be knackered. However if you used the £600 ones then I would be worried. I am not an expert on tracking as never yet had the pleasure. But I do know a bit about Pagid pads. It still sounds excessive though.

Hi! Good for you Adrian. Enjoy as like me if your not modding your getting bored:)

I've recently looked into having my glass tinted, I'm led to believe that the law states that both front side windows must allow 70% light transmission. Having spoken to very reputable local company offering this service it appears that the OEM side windows on the 370 are pretty much on the legal limit! This is not uncommon on new cars. I was also informed that my insurance could be invalidated by the application of a tint film, it can actually prevent access through the glass in the event of a RTA. You are correct. Both 350/370 leave the factory almost bang on the limit.

Can you keep me in the loop Louisa? I will see if I can source a drivers seat an restore it for you then we can just swap it over. I ill then take your seat and repair it if I can. The seats are infact a frame with swabbing on then a 2 piece cover placed over it. I am trying to remember what it looked like, but I am sure repairing is not the issue. More like getting it to me. Stick a picture up on here when you get time? If we were on a meet I would get it done on the day provided someone kept the sunlight off my back! The black ones were keysers and they sold about 30 mins after I restored them at the Zed shed a few weeks ago. Dont go spending out or listening to reupholsterers who say they cant match the colour? I did a blown airbag panel in a seat by having it repaired in black and colouring it Anthracite myself.

I used this http://www.monzacarcare.com/bulk-valeting-1/meguiars-m105-ultra-cut-compound-378-litres/0/ followed by this. http://www.monzacarcare.com/paste-waxes/wolfgang-fuzion-carnauba-polymer-estate-wax/0/ On a 30 year old 911 last week and this is the result.

No pictures with this but thought I would give a mention to forum member Brooklands350 (Chris) Most of you will know Chris as he has a white JDM Veilside with brooklands written all over it. Chris also ownes a Ferrari Porsche service centre in Swanley Kent called "Brooklands Kent". My clutch being OEM could not handle the power and I was sick to death of asking around and people trying to rape my wallet and playing on my lack of knowledge. So I sourced one myself from the states. It's nothing special just a single plate like the OEM but rated at 600BHP. The guy in the States was a 350z.com member and was extreamly helpfull. Total cost including Customs and P+P was under £350. Anyway Chris not only fitted it in under 3 hrs but did a oil change/clutch fluid and brake fluid as well. Stopped for breakfast and coffee to boot. And what a difference it made. Because the clutch plate is a heavy duty one and a tad wider it means the clutch bites is almost instant. No more waiting till the peddel comes up 4 inches before it bites and it has made the car a real pleasure to drive. It's weired getting instant pullaway but the bottom line is I am happy as i can now get the power as it was meant to be. No more slipping from a burnt out OEM. So a big thank you to Chris who has restored my faith with his honest approach and even talked me through each stage as he worked on the car.

Glad Ivor came through for you. The original looks quite flimsy compared to the new fabricated one.

Newbury - Horsham is Local lol

Fek I just sent your Misses home on the train Dean!!! I already knew

Fek I just sent your Misses home on the train Dean!!!

That 4 wired thing off ebay they were selling that goes into the back of the speedo (I think) is crap. I know of 3 peeps who bought one and cant seem to fathome it out. Up-Rev will do it!

I 2nd that and well justified to do so. Well done to everyone and moving on:)

Turn the light off with a decoded thingy! It happened on mine when I put the GTR seats in.

Jap Performance Parts Crawley 01293 520090. By far the largest stock across the board of 2nd hand used low milage brembo's with discs and pads. I have yet to see anyone match there prices. Thats not to say no one can it's just I have not seen it.

You've not left a space between the word 'up' and the emote, that's why that one won't work. Also I'm guessing you've hit the 'Enable emoticons' button to the right of the main reply box and turned them all off. I can never get the Apples to work Dan! I don't even see smileys on them!

Iphone and Ipad are pants today. Cant even get a smiley up:(

You need to look at what tere rated for BHP wise. No use putting a 400bhp clutch in if your running more than that! Just a thought:)

They are slightly proud and just do:)

Androids are playing up if your using that meathod?

Straight threw is best!!!

I see an RAC van pulling an Alcoholics Anonymous car. Why? What do you see SMD? blind git:)
