  1. Finally managed to get a quick video of the Berks fitted, not the best quality as done with iPhone.
  2. Received the Berks last Friday (many thanks Chris for the quick delivery) and had them fitted this morning along with lamda spacers purchased from Zmanalex. Only had a short blast back from the garage and have to say am very happy, has given my custom exhaust the sound I had originally been hoping for, has a nice deep growl now when pushing on up through the gears yet not intrusive in the cabin when cruising. Will try and get a video at some point and shall post up
  3. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=44400 Alex is your best bet here
  4. I've used both The Garage and Infiniti since getting the Z last year and cannot fault either. Am not dismissing Alex's experience with The Garage but like George and Neil have been well cared for when my car has been in with them.
  5. 1. abc123 2. bobmac 3.Michael Robinson 4. thetranquilbass 5. Am up for this, will need confirmation of date as early as possible so that I can book the day off work but also have the Berk HFCs fitted prior to going down
  6. I have the Stillen Gen 3 long intake fitted in mine, sounds great along with the custom exhaust. Have also just taken delivery of a set of Berk HFCs, and now awaiting RS Tuning on coming back to me for a retune. Once it's done will post the graphs, although please bear with us it may take some time to find a suitable time to head down to Leeds.
  7. Round trip to the office is 46 miles in total, generally M8 all the way in in the morning and M8 to Shotts and old Edi Road part your bit on the way home unless the M8 is running clear. Always fill up with Tesco Momentum or if their out across to Shell for some V-Power, latter being only a couple of quid more in price. Only do 3 days in the office a week the other 2 from home. Our studio is in Shettleston and normally in there once/twice a week, which is about a 35 mile round trip. As I said, typically get 345-355 miles out that when the gauge gets low enough for me to want to put more in.
  8. Everytime you've spotted us i've been heading in and out of work. I get roughly 25.4 mpg travelling between home and work over in Livi, with a couple of trips into the recording studio in Glasgow a week, and typically put in ~£88 every fortnight. So tank is never empty when I fill it up by get generally 350 miles out of that.
  9. 35, Regulatory Affairs Manager. Have been trying to explain this for years but essentially deal with the politics and bureaucracy behind the pharmaceutical industry helping clients develop new drugs from clinical development through to being available on the market.
  10. 1) will370z Berks HFC for the 370z 2) MRH 350Z = Berks HFC '03-'06 3) Ioneabee Berks HFC 370z 4) thetranquilbass - Berk HFC 350z 07'-
  11. I like alot but then I'm biased, don't see many Temper's about (not up here anyway) so has a rarity value
  12. Aye, thought I saw a silver coupe in the rear view mirror as was heading up the hill. New exhaust and stillen intake have definitely created a better sound and am now swithering whether or not to join the group buy Will370z has arranged with Tarmac for the Berk HFCs
  13. Had the car in with Infiniti Braehead on Friday last week for a few new additions to the car, maybe not the standard place you would consider for the following but they did an excellent job and cannot fault their customer service. Although the work took longer to complete than I had originally anticipated they were kind enough to only charge me for the time I had originally expected given that this was a first for them. Upgrades included the following: - Stillen Gen 3 long tube intake (purchased from ersen.o) - Tanabe strut bar (purchased from ChrisUUC) - Eibach pro spacers (25mm rear, 20mm front - ZMANALEX) - PIAA Euro Sports Horns - Replacement LED sidelights - Wheel laser alignment Very happy boy now as the car sounds great with the intake combined with the custom true dual exhaust I had fitted last month. Few pics of the car below.
  14. As a suggestion if you do end up coming up via the A74, come off at Junction 15 for Moffat. The order of the roads to follow is then: A701 - A72 - left on to A721 - right onto A702 - A720 - A8 - A902 - A90 - M90 - A92 - A921 - A915 - A918 Round about 100 miles to St. Andrews and probably about 2 hours
  15. Parked up opposite the Lithuanian Club on Calder Road, Mossend, Bellshill this morning at approx 10:10
  16. New exhaust got fitted today, initial pic below, will sort out a video at some point.
  17. Attended the race back in 2009, thoroughly enjoyed myself and considered it a much better all round experience than Silverstone, which is the only other GP I've been to albeit on several occasions. Had a grand stand seat just above the tunnel which worked out $150/£75 at the time. Unfortunately can't offer much assistance on accomodation and travel as I was already out in Singapore on secondment at the time, although would echoe the comments above regarding Singapore Airlines, always great service, although I do not miss the 19 hour flight from Singapore to Newark which had to do several times whilst out there.
  18. +1 on Mark at The Garage, originally recommended to me by Neilp and have used for all servicing and mods since, have the car going in next friday for a couple of new additions.
  19. Forum discount would be better! Again thanks for your feedback before Jason, much appreciated.
  20. Wise choice mate it will sound brilliant Cheers Neil, as long as its louder than stock am happy. Am beginning to have second thoughts on my choice of tail pipes as going for something oval that fills the indent on the stock bumper a bit better, looked alright when held up against the car but not sure whether to chicken out and go for plain circular to look more stock. I've got a couple of weeks yet before I'm booked in as having to wait for the first available Saturday slot - can see me changing my mind a few times before it gets completed. In-decision = pain in the a**e
  21. Aye that will have been me, thought I saw a coupe heading in the opposite direction but too busy swearing at the folks in front for going too slowly to notice if you flashed/waved. Not sounding it's most healthy at the moment as the exhaust is blowing from the usual place at the backbox - have used this as an exuse to get myself booked in with Simon's in EK for next month - going down the true dual route.
  22. Best of luck Neil, another vote added for you
  23. Silver import spotted at approx 20:10 last night heading towards Holytown along main street (Mossend area). Actually seen this one a few times now in the same area, always as walking the dog so haven't tried to look like a nutter standing on the edge of the road waving.
  24. I reckon on 5.5-6 hours, that's what it used to take me from Aylesbury back to Milngavie before I moved back up here, albeit that was in a Hyundai Coupe at the time. Will need to stop off to fill the tank for definite
