Decided to tackle the stainless steel exhaust tips this morning….or lack of them. I don’t think they have ever been cleaned before! I find Scoripion’s slash-cut style tailpipe aesthetically disappointing (although it sounds nice), they do not protrude out from the bumper much, consequently they hard to depict. So I spent around an hour on them, using a wet cloth, steel wool and Autosol metal polish….both bought from ebay, totaling under £5. The wire wool and polish cut through the contamination really well, the inner face of the pipes were harder, but it has made a huge difference. A few before and after: I also decided to address a slight yellow haze towards the top of both headlights. I read online that using regular toothpaste helps to remove oxidisation, so I gave it a go. Simply added a small amount to a dry cloth and rubbed in, thoroughly rinsing the area afterwards. A few before and after: Next step is to wash the car!

So you must be based around the Bath/Bristol area too, are there many of us?

Lovely susnset 350z spotted heading towards Bath on the A46 around 08:00 this morning. Sounded sweet too!

Hi Guys, I am going to make my own Tonneau cover but need to find the dimensions. Does anybody have a genuine one that they could kindly trace around and maybe post to me? That way I can accurately generate a template in AutoCad and laser cut for precision. I will happily subsidise the postage fee and can provide the cad files for others if wanted. Thanks

That is the reason why I hate washing the car. It looks lovely afterwards, but it tends to be overshadowed by the 'new marks' uncovered on the way!

I have found the 'fuel gauge fix' write up and I now know that it is actually quoting in k/m. I will keep an eye on it and attempt to fix it when I get a chance..... another thing added to the list! Cheers guys

Hi guys, driving home this evening and the fuel light pops on……seems to be a regular occurrence! The fuel range quoted me 80k/m (being an import), I initially assumed that this was approximately 50 miles. But on second thoughts, if the speedo has been converted to mph and the digital gauge records mph (but still reads in k/m) then the fuel range must be miles and not kilometres? If this is the case, is it not a bit excessive to have an 80mile fuel range after the warning light comes on? Bearing in mind that the needle is pointing to empty? The reason I ask is that I am trying to establish when I need to put fuel in….ie how long I can drive around with the light on before I run out of fuel. Hope my question makes sense! Chris

Very nice indeed!

I liked the look of these from EP Racing, not sure of the quality or robustness, but they look nice in my opinion; http://www.epracing.co.uk/EPR-Performance-Accessories/EPR-Tow-Hooks/EPR-Tow-Hooks-Front/c-1-848-850-851/

Ah ok Gudzy, thanks. I will have too keep an eye out for the sale of your k&n!

Wow nice bay! I have been researching induction kits and have been struggling on what to decide, whether to keep the original airbox and replace the standard filter with a high flow filter, to invest in a pop charger or maybe a K&N Typhoon. I do not expect performance gains but I am after a bit of a growl and certainly do not want a substantial power loss. May I ask why you replaced the Typhoon with the pop charger? Also am I right in thinking the Typoon is CAI? Thanks Chris

I would also be interested in this as I currently have a scorpion y-pipe back exhaust fitted and silenced de-cats to fit. I have also been considering the Stillen y-pipe and will probably fit it all at once when finance permits, although my patience is wearing thin and I may give in and fit the de-cats!

Wasn't me in Wick I am afraid.
