  1. Oh my! If only I wasn't broke I'd snap your arm off for this! GLWTS Matt i think me and you have jumped a gun Hes selling the OEM lsd NOT the cusco item Oh I was reading it on the bus and clearly didn't read it properly Maybe the price should have been the clue it was the standard one
  2. I thought some had more than 300bhp They do of course. But my point being is the 350z isnt the out and out sports car people think or want it to be. It's slower than most diesel barges and pseudo sports cars these days. Doesn't make it a bad thing as the 350 excels in many areas IMO especially the non tangible ones. Plus IMO its a purdy car. BUT don't kid your self into thinking you drive one of thr fastest things on the road as these is many many many things much much much faster than the Z. So if you want to talk about "going fast" then you should have bought a faster more concentrated car. You must have awful driving skills if you think a diesel barge is quicker. Yes its not an out and out sports car but it is still 'fast'. Its quicker than 9 out of 10 cars on the road so therefore it comes under the fast category. Ha! A fast diesel! What's next? Women having the vote? Abolishing slavery? It's all relative, the BMW 330D, Merc C350, Audi A4 3 litre diesel, Jag 3.0 diesel S are all close to the 5.7 0-60 of the 350 whereas the BMW 535D has a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. None of those cars will handle badly and will hold their own in the corners. Ok, they will never be as fun to drive, and they cost more, but they would certainly put up a very good fight against the zed. Maybe you're just a driving god and should be in a race paddock somewhere Reason for edit: Fixing smiley

    What, like this: Which just for completeness, comes from this:

  5. Yes, though there isn't that much choice of rear bumpers unless you are looking at veilside. I have to really think what skirts I want as I can't go too low. I really like the smooth look so would like a skirt that sits flush but no too low to contradict myself, there's a thread which RT did which had the Chargespeed skirts with the vents smoothed out, and to be fair, they looked really good. They could be a good option, however I'm not sure how low they are.
  6. RT must mostly sell the Chargespeed rear, sides and/or side steps combination!
  7. Personally I'd say don't do it. Go for real carbon covers on yours. Aftermarket wing mirrors on a 350z look cheap, be it Gandor, M3 or F1 style or whatever else you find.
  8. I went to autosport to try them all out too! I highly recommend Corbeau as they do different hights and widths etc. I'm very tall and skinny, so had to get a taller seat as otherwise the base of my skull was the same height as the top of the seat, in an impact I'd have a broken neck. I also had issues with where my shoulders were in relation to the harness slots. Don't just go for the cheapest seat, go for one in budget which fits you nicely, and make sure someone with training helps you as they will spot things you won't.
  9. I've got a corbeau forza sport with a corbeau 350z specific base mount frame with a manual adjustment. It's supportive has good bolstering and also has a slot for when I add a 5th strap to my harness.
  10. Are you mad? sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk I agree with him, I hate the way it leans forwards. Love the car otherwise though!
  11. A British based company is always a plus for me
  12. also, tell her to give it a wipe, as it will look a lot better. That looks fresh so still has the powder on the top. A bit of road grime will make it nion invisible.
  13. hubcentric spacers should mean you don't need longer studs. What offset are they? and how much gap do you have between the edge of the tyre and the arch?
  14. Piston heads, wheelwhores, SXOC, Some of the mazda forums will probs be useful
  15. Go on a track day and end up in the kitty litter, then you'll know what wheel scratching is like! Personally, I wouldn't even waste the energy in bending down to put nail varnish on it, it's happened, it sucks, oh well. It will happen again, and it will be no more or less annoying. My Fiancée caught my front bumper lip on a curb in a car park once and was in bits about it, she was more than shocked when I came out with "It's fibreglass and paint, it doesn't matter". There's much bigger things going on to worry about.
  16. I remember there was a couple of FORD COSWORTH escort's in Redline magazine once, they were owned by twins and one was registered 80 OST and one was 800 ST (boost) and together they looked near identical! Reason for edit: clarification
  17. I do sell those as well but find they don't really work, you just can't get enough preassure. My home made versions can create plenty of pressure (and therefore boost) but does require a little bit of effort, kind of like human powered NOS. After seeing Wasso's plenum spacers I even started doing them in different colours: Please visit my website for more performance products: www.TheBigBHPCon.co.uk Do you have these in "proper" blue please? Christ I'm not copying another image from google images my website. I think you need to stop now Haydn. You're not registered as a trader on here and you're clearly selling a lot of these now. The rules are here for everyone.
  18. Take it, it's been a month already and although it's 500 less than you wanted it's a good offer.

    cheap tyres.

    Found that out the other week, it was only a matter of time though as they are part of Walmart and in the states you can buy tyres, an exhaust, a gun, beer and your shreddies at the same time!
