  1. I had Flyeye on the front also, looks great but does make for poor lighting! I put some on the rear indicator/fog clusters as well, makes the back end of the car look 100% better
  2. All so nice, all so out of my price range at the moment though
  3. Do your power gain mods before the remap HFC are high flow cats, the stock ones are restrictive so these will make the exhaust more free flowing, they also give the exhaust a louder more aggressive tone Doogyrev and Zugara changed my exhaust I have a stillen intake and did that myself Check with Ebized and Will370z for exhaust ideas on a 370
  4. ...there are also people, generally older and maybe more vulnerable , who are unaware of the principle of haggling down insurance prices who those insurance companies quite happily overcharge to make a bigger profit which is wrong. I would agree 99% of business involves haggling but a lot of that is through bulk order processing, relationship effects and various other reasons not much of it is for single purchase one off purchases which insurance pretty much is which is where this is different ekona - I challenge anyone for instance to walk into a car showroom, look at a car and then get the salesman to knock off 30%-40% within a couple of minutes...Im sorry but the way insurance works is not like a lot of business in that haggling sense, to me if they can offer insurance for 40% less after just a couple of minutes on the phone they are going in with extortionate rates in the first instance and quite literally ripping people off.

    Decent mats?

    Or trawl ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=350z+floor+mat&_sacat=0
  7. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350Z-BC-racing-coilovers-/180928643837
  8. I got a new exedy clutch kit and flywheel from Alex, drop him a PM he will price it up for you I am guessing but presume it slips in higher gears first as there is more power needed through the transmission in some way?
  9. Yeah clutch went, was 5th that went first
  10. When mine went it was the higher gears that went first
  11. He will be in Richmond Monday, if anyones around pop over!
  12. Only slightly better than this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meguiars-G220-v2-Dual-Action-Machine-Polisher-V2-G220-Car-Van-Bike-/160680001422
  13. ...absolutely incredible this, lucky they got away with it http://news.sky.com/story/962909/glacier-collapse-near-miss-for-tourist-boat
  14. Contact RS, Abbey and Horsham and give them your number plate they might have a record of it.
  15. Or do a trawl through ebay, not Nissan but air vent covers for instance http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Fairlady-Nismo-bodykit-Aluminium-Vent-Trims-/130719760112 I tried these, pretty good quality as it happens
  16. Bought a Focus last year, great little car for practical stuff. Only thing we noticed was that the plastic seal at the bottom of the windscreen had gone, its like £45 for a new one or something but apparently very common. Worth checking.
  17. Yes Kyle, they will raise womens insurance, but by their rhetoric you cant discriminate on gender then why stop there? We should all be paying £5000 per year insurance regardless of age, location, car, job etc. The whole thing is a farce. ...and just to prove the point, a couple of online quotes and a phone call to Diamond and lo and behold their quote drops by over £200. Am I the only one that feels like insurance companies are just out to rip consumers off by massively overcharging and hoping to 'get away with it' by not being challenged. I mean we live in the UK, I am not in a Marrakech market haggling for a piece of tourist tat.
  18. Yeah sudocream I have discovered since my wife had a baby 5 months ago cures just about any skin ailment - amazing stuff!
  19. Just make sure you are proceeding with this for your own sake and not because you feel that the current 'owner' is a nice person - emotion and business rarely go hand in hand successfully!
  20. It does work! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/assos-chamois-cream/
  21. Good luck with this I cycled from Cognac to Paris on my own with panniers on a steel framed hybrid! Booked into 'gites' every night rather than camp as I was on my own and didn't know anyone in between...have to say, without wanting to affect your plans, found a rucksack on my back easier work than weight on the panniers...bourbon biscuits work a blinder btw!
  22. Awesome photos of shine on there! Looking forwards to mine coming back to super shiny next week
  23. I am amazed in a day and age when our cars are checked over and over and have to provide paperwork for everything that this thing has managed to hang around on public roads for as long as it has. Personally I would walk, so much hassle for a car. As someone else pointed out, somewhere along the line one of these two characters are lying to you from what I can see, how can you be a registered owner of a car and not noticed any of the paperwork coming through your door that associates you with it? I just cant see how this car has existed since 2009 with no documentation and registered to someone else without something going wrong.
  24. Ford Focus, got one as our second car and it has been tremendous.
  25. The whole thing about pricing on gender was an utter farce - Euro Court Human Rights once again makes a call on something they seem to have little understanding of. If this is a precedent then surely young people can claim ageism, people in Manchester can claim locationism and people with sports cars can claim they are discriminated against because of the car they drive. I have also seen this effect of peoples cars being hit, not their fault, claiming off another the other insurance and then seeing their premiums go up. As people have alluded to, the models used in Insurance I suspect are poor and biased towards the insuring company. Every time I hear people who have no statistical background quoting stats I cringe 'you are more likely to have an accident if you are in one not of your fault so premiums go up' what sort of stat are we looking at here? Are we looking at big numbers such as 500 times more likely or are we looking at something like for every 10 people that havent had a no fault claim that have an accident we see 11 people who have had a no fault accident then having an accident? Both qualify the same statement but both massively different. The funny thing is that people seem to think because you compare two numbers like that its, comparable, which it isnt unless you do some massive driver analysis, straight correlations are usually pretty pointless, the amount of intercorrelation going on is immense. 'Men are more likely to have an accident than woman' how many times do I hear that completely ridiculous statement by so called experts...what if the woman was a 17 year old alcoholic from moss side driving a pagani zonda and the guy a 50 year old school teacher from Berkshire driving a Toyota Prius. Unless they have compared comparable data across all attributes at all levels ie 17 year old alcoholic moss side lady in a zonda vs the same but male, there is massive scope for error. /end rant
