  1. E bay. Champion do some. Pair for £24 if I remember correctly. Work fine and easy to fit.

    Lack of grip...

    I've spent hours trying to source winters for my 370 but gave up. Dunlop do have a winter tyre but theyre over £350 quid a pop. The Bridgstones are rock solid below 5C and hate standing water. My 1.4 Mito is quicker/safer than the Z in the cold!

    That Z looks dirty!
  4. See now this I have never understood. If the primer is different then why cant they compensate the paint make up to make it match? I heard it was due to them being sprayed in isolation and the way the flecks sit in the paint. On the main body the car is sprayed from one angle and on the bumpers/sills a different angle. When you put them together they reflect the light differently which gives different shades. This makes more sense to me For the kind of money we pay for our Zs I don't think a good match is too much to ask! I look at other white cars and I don't see this problem. If end up getting mine done (probably after Christmas) I'll post some pics. Hi. My GTR was white and I was never totally happy with the bumper colour match. Nissan resprayed both under warranty without too much pressure.
  5. Sorry. A manic week at work. The sun is due to shine tomorrow, camcorder charged. :-) Clip below. Not the best but I'll have a proper drive by one done by tomorrow. Hi Waltong Sounds great - I am thinking of getting this system. Would you say it's a good system for someone who wants the car to have a bit more growl but nothing too mental? I definitely do not want something that sounds too 'boomy' or constantly very loud under normal driving conditions (I live in a quiet road and value my good relations with the neighbours ) I just want something that sounds a bit more sporty that the stock. Hi mate. If you purchase the rear box only you'll get a very modest increase in noise. Probably what you would have wanted from a standard exhaust but you get the nice tail pipes. The full cat back is very sensible at 3000 rpm and below but livens up dramatically from 4000rpm. It's all very good inside the cabin, never intrudes to be honset.

  8. You can pick up a brand spanking new auto with all the bits for £33K. Trust me ;-)
  9. The Sumo Power facility really is something special, worth a visit. Thanks guys. Pics only (courtesy of Sumo) but I'll get some sound up as soon as I can.
  10. Off to see Sumo Power in Rye tomorrow morning. New soundtrack being fitted I'll take some pics while I'm with them and try and get a video clip put up later.
  11. Hi mate. My 370 replaced my GTR and its smaller size is its greatest asset :-) The GTR is an awesome beast but one hell of a bugger to park! It's a bit too wide and long in my opinion. I miss the horses though! So why the change - GTR to 370? £36,000 difference in ticket price would be a start!!! I've moved jobs so a regular 50mile commute and lack of decent size parking space was one reason. The upkeep was another, 6 monthly services at £500 a pop and tyres at £400 each. It's a great value car but Ferrari money to keep in on the road. I may have less horses now but I wont be viewing every car as a potential burn up now!

  13. Nope . Being fitted on 26th Can't wait! Will be a nice drive down to Sumo too.
  14. Got her! Absolutely chucking it down when I picked her up so no pics till tomorrow. Really pleased
