    Alloy refurbs...

    Yours would look miles better in an anthracite finish man! It's all a matter of opinion when it comes to colour choice though, just because one person likes the standard silver that you see on pretty much any car with alloy wheels doesn't mean that it is your taste.
  2. Whilst that is porn, beauty and lots more. It's still underneath the car out of view. Such a shame. Bumper tuck sharp sorts that out.....I shall be investing in this as soon as my budget allows me. Seems such a shame to have something as beautiful as that sitting out of sight. The sound is a nice surprise for all bystanders though!
  3. Or buy online here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/WeSC-Chambers-RZA-Premium-Headphone/dp/B0071HJ7BI Just bought these, thanks to Adrian, sound great and they have a jack point in the headset to change the cable should it become faulty, winning. I must say that I'm a little disappointed at Adrian taking credit for this! All he did was search for what I had posted and then pasted an alternative link! You could have done that yourself! Thanks for the exhaust though Adrian, you deserve credit for that bro....
  4. Thanks man! To be honest I wish I'd taken photos of the originals to show just how bad they were.

    thanks for your input!! sounds the ticket!! Mos def bro!
  6. Amuse R1 Titanium with Motordyne XYZ pipe! Have a look! I love mine!
  7. Alreet! Just get a 350z and be done with it. The others are just 2 seater sports cars, the Zed is like that old friend that makes you smile every time you get together. If it's not the wicked power then it's the noise it makes, and even if that doesn't satisfy you then the looks of approval/disgust/bewilderment will always put a smile on your face! I was in the florists the other morning getting Mrs OV53 a bunch when I saw a bloke in his late 60s double back and start looking around the car, his wife patiently waiting for him to complete his inspection, after which he walked away with a puzzled look on his face. Obviously the lack of the 350z badge or a Nissan badge had sent him, but the sheer fact that he obviously liked the look of the car and took the time out of walking up thr street with his missus to walk around and try to figure out what it was just gave me a sense of pride that you wouldn't ordinarily get with any of the other cars you mentioned. It was just a shame that the bouquet took too long for me to get in the car and give it a little burst past him as I'd just fitted the Amuse exhaust about 15 minutes earlier! So....yeah, get a Zed!

    I got exactly what I asked for and they balanced the wheels too. The one I went to has a contract with the Jaguar garage for any wheel colour changes. I got mine in a satin anthracite finish and they are like a completely new set of wheels. They basically dip them in acid, shot blast, paint, bake, re-tyre (or even put new tyres on if you have a set) and balance them. They can diamond cut them as well if you need it. Overall the finish is like what you would expect on a brand new set of wheels. Check my thread out for a few photos and examples of the work. http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?/topic/73301-Booked-in-for-wheel-refurbishment....
  10. Get into HMV and get some Premium Chambers by RZA. They were £250 and they're now £50 due to them being discontinued. Absolute bargain!

    Well I can vouch for The Wheel Specialist. They have centres all over the country and if you say that you know somone from the forum who went to the Westerhope branch and got a full set of 19s done for £360 with a courtesy car then I'm sure they will price match. That's same day service too.
  12. Alreet! All of the above....or buy an UK model.....

    If you don't scrimp and take the wheels to somewhere decent then painting is the way forward.
  14. The Cobra kinda did the same thing, I wouldn't know for sure though as mine came with the Cobra attached. The reason I got it changed was because the missus hated the drone and how obnoxiously loud it was. I'm extremely happy with the result but I mean the complete system is worth over 6 times the price of the Cobra brand new so I bloody should be!
  15. Well there's minimal noise inside the car at cruising speeds, whereas the Cobra has an unbearable drone between 2 and 2.5k revs and even when nailing it you have to open the window to get a decent idea of the immense tone it gives off. I can't really describe the noise, erm deep, burbly down low and then face melting up high.....
  16. Guess they are going to the dump then!
  17. Completely different sound! I went along the motorway to give her a quick burst and got followed by a new modified Impreza STI and gave her a blast right through the rev range. When we got to the roundabout he pulls up next to me and just says, "That sounds AWESOME!" My gonads are now of wealthy proportions!
  18. Ripped out the Cobra cat back system amd installee the Amuse R1 Titanium exhaust and Motordyne Resonated XYZ pipe......finally! The noise this combination creates is just unbelievable Jeff! Next month.... JWT Pop charger and a plenum spacer hopefully!
  19. Oh and thanks to Adrian for making this possible! Just a shame I can't afford to buy everything off your car in a oner.....
  20. Those Guinness adverts say that good things come to those who wait and who am I to argue? Welder dropped it off at 12 and it was fully fitted by 3. So that's an Amuse R1 Titanium cat back and Motordyne Resonated XYZ pipe now ready to add beautiful music to the air of Sunderland and the surrounding villages! Already had it out for a little test run and it is like driving a completely different car. The countless Chinamen that frequent the University on the main road next to mine also seem to give it the seal of approval! Anyway....time for some pic porn. Cheers for looking!
  21. Alreet! It's just p i s s e d it down so OV53 is screaming "GARAGE ME!" But I don't have a garage......
