Good info, there's sh!tloads of MFs out there and it's good to find some that someone else has tried and tested for you I demand all mine are hand made in South Korea, natural home of the microfibre worm Another style here. I think these microsuede babies are pretty cool, they love dust and glass. I keep a few for delicate non-car jobs too (iPhone, iPad, iMac). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dodo-Juice-Supernatural-Microsuede-Cloths/dp/B004GU5276

And here was me thinking you were one of the three people who actually read my thread. You won't regret it, it's impressive stuff. There's just so many products that pop up and I've got a terrible memory for them as they all use the same adjectives/hyperbole, it's espcially bad with the products that I can't say out loud, like Gyeon

I believe Clark Motorsport sell the spacers, defo worth a PM. Could use it as an excuse to get an UpRev and cure it permanently with a deletion

Yeah, if only there were someone here who was way ahead of you there... PMSL I did a quick google search against this place before I posted it, no hits, then lo and behold it's way back there on this very thread Just ordered some, ta!

Too good/easy to use to be true? http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/shop/gyeon-q2m-wet-coat.html "Gyeon Q2M WetCoat is probably the world's easiest way to coat a vehicle with quartz based self-cleaning layer. It takes as much as washing the car then simply spraying Q2M WetCoat onto vehicle’s wet surface and rinsing it with a pressure washer. This remarkable coating secures not only an outstanding hydrophobic effect but also provides a great look to your car. Q2M WetCoat outshines most of natural waxes and popular spray sealants in terms of its durability, because it lasts up to 3 months. It is ready to use, silica based, touchless spray sealant, which proves to be a perfect solution when time matters. Owning to its great self-cleaning abilities, it helps to maintain perfect looks of your vehicle on a daily basis. Durability: up to 12 weeks SiOv(2) percentage <5% Contact angle: >90' Consumption: 100ml/car" If only there was someone round here who could test such a product...

Carbon fibre panels? Adjustable suspension? It's a Mustang Captain, but not as we know it. -
Yeah, it's ace. Worth it just to top up on fresh, clean microfibres and there's usually 2 products I would never have bought myself, so it's perfect in that respect

I liked the orange MF in the waxybox so much I ordered another two, one is just for my iMac though Re: suds - Don't you think the amount of shampoo suds is indicative of the level of lubrication in between mitt/sponge and paint? I always feel so much happier with a sudsy shampoo as it glides over the paint, I imagine it's installing fewer defects ????

I'm working the next few weekends on the boounce When is it?

Hope they clear the brembos...

Group buy?????

I get a bit of condensation in one from time to time, so was looking at getting them done and obviously re-sealed at the same time. I'd want to lose the Amber strips too has anyone got a linky for the clear reflective strips?

Whatever you choose to run it on, as long as you're honest about what you've been pumping, then it's up to you The only thing that would suck balls would be to lie about it when you sell it on.

Bushes bushes bushes...vid in post ! (ok bushings)
Stutopia replied to RobPhoboS's topic in Suspension
Did you go full kit all over? Did you change them becuase the others were worn, or just because you hoped they'd feel better? Nice vid Robboí ½í±. @ Stu; the front bushes are the ones that commonly fail but all OEM rubber bushes fail to various degrees over time. Shrinking, perishing/cracking, tearing and full blown separation are all degrees of bushing failure. Therefore depending on the degree of failure you may get minimal symptoms or knocking to outright diabolical handling! If you consider that most zeds are over 10yrs old there are a lot out there that would benefit with bushing changes. There is nothing wrong with the OEM bushes except they are to soft and allow excessive mov't which dulls handing and eventually they will fail again bring made of rubber. Secondly the compression arm design was poor which leads to premature compresion bush failure. This issues was addressed by Nissan on the HR and 370z I think. Urethane is better but as the vid shows you need to get well designed ones. I have used Superpro, whiteline and energy suspension. Superpro are up there, whiteline a close second and energy suspension third because some of their bushes are poorly designed. However if you swap those bushes for superpro or whiteline equivalent as I have done for the 2 chaps here you end up with a competent package and some significant savings. Monoball/spherical/rose jointed bushes are the ultimate because there is no bind or stiction and there supension geometry is always maintained optimally as there is no unwanted mov't. However they don't last forever as they are prone to salt corrosion and they are impractical for daily driving. I have been lucky to have been able to swap to full urethane bushes in the past and again to solid monoball bushes which are currently on the car. I have also done the full urethane swap for 2 members here. So I can attest to the fact that every single bush showed significant wear. One thing is for certain the handling is night and day and if you have other suspension mods like ARB, coilovers and adjustable arms it further enhances them. I will be offering a drive in bushing replacement and general suspension service soon and there will be various packages to suit all budgets and usage but in anycase priced very competitively. Sounds promising, no doubt you'll be miles away -
It's great for the exhaust once it's polished up and it's good on paintwork too if you like the "sealant look". The size of the tin, it can even be handy around the house too. Even my jack, axle stands and tool box have a coat of FK on. And it's got a shark on the tin. A shark.

By the power of greyskull. I never saw the attraction of buying new on finance. Until now. -
I used to use RimWax until ilogikal1 bullied me into switching to FK This stuff is good and you get enough to last you your whole life. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/sealants/finishkare-1000p-hi-temp-sealant/prod_589.html

buying a type r for the other half *Updated* Cheshire performance!!
Stutopia replied to nowhereboy's topic in Other Cars
Drive it. If it's all good then you have a decision to make, but I'd be pouring over every MOT and Service reciept in there and contacting the garages that did the work and confirming details, as a minimum. You could always see if a local Honda type from a forum will go down and look it over with you. -
along, good to see more North West. Check out the regional action here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/75-north-west/

The report I got from the AA on the Zed was helpful but is a big negative on the warranty. They take no responsiblity for teling you the car is safe to buy on the report. -
Don't do it - midnight purple 3 is my Zed dream!!!!!!!!!!

Gas struts make no difference to pop - only to staying open when it's up. The angle is just far too severe for them to help with pop. Sticky pads for the bottom of the springs work, though getting them to bond long term to the rubber is a PITA

Going to the USA, any parts worth buying out there?
