  1. Very nice, good work on the red interior! B)

     

    I felt pretty good after completing it but that may have been down to the enclosed space and the adhesive :)

     

    What isn't so apparent is the twin strand black electrical wire I fitted round the edge of the red vinyl on the door cards.

  3. Just thought I would share a few of my previous ownership and two year period of Zeditis...

     

    She was a 1990 UK Twin Turbo which I owned about 9 years ago.

    I painstakingly stripped and recovered the fabric interior - it was only red vinyl but I was very pleased with my work.

    Carbon fibre slam panel and stainless boost pipes and water pipes. Painted engine cover and fan shroud although that wasn't finished.

    I thought I had more photographs but they could be anywhere now, may search former forum and see what is left there...

  4. Now wondering if the clutch is going as it over revs when accelerating, worse in higher gears...

     

    Is this a job that an amateur could succeed at replacing with the car jacked up on axle stands? I don't have either the Nissan Service manual or the Haynes manual at present so don't know exactly what it entails on this beast.

  5. David Moyes to replace Sir Alex

     

    Very brave man (although probably already very well rewarded financially) as that will be a nigh on impossible task to take on and to achieve anywhere near what has already been achieved. I just can't see how MU will maintain there present form...

  6. I never expected this, would have thought he would have passed away on the sideline one day. I am not a MU fan but he has got to be one of the most successful managers of all time and I doubt anyone will match or better his career in my lifetime.

     

    I also agree that MU may well suffer for this in the short term...

  7. I've not painted an engine cover for a 350Z but I have painted the rectangle strip (I think that was smooth already though) that sat over the plenum in my 300ZX and the engine cover on my MG ZS - this has a slightly dimpled / textured finish

     

    I just used standard aerosol car spray paint on top of an plasticoat primer. IIRC I then rubbed it down after each coat and then topped it with a clear laquer. I had no problems with heat / dirt damaging them either. The only issue I had was on the MG was that under bonnet insulation made contact with it and rubbed.

  8. Just seen and heard one but a.little bit disappointing. Granted it was going at full beans but it have the sound of something like a Ferrari at low revs.

    Secondly the Lexus badge on the rear wasn't becoming of a super car. Finally I thought it looked okay on TV but just didn't cut it in the flesh

    I assuming it may be down the local Ferrari garage later, may take a closer look...

     

    Where did you see this?
