Congratulations on your Zed!

FINALLY! someone in the south east within spitting distance (not that I'm a prolific spitter........) And also, welcome to the forum! You won't be disappointed if you get a 350Z (and you should!)

@ rob63 You will be very happy with the whole setup and service. They are very professional and more importantly (to me anyway) treat you like a human being rather than just another customer which I find to be a hard thing to find these days. @Suits Be warned, this exhaust is NOT for the faint hearted lol. It's bloody loud, I truly hope it calms down even if it's just a little bit But yes I am extremely pleased with the results!!

So, I arrived at Abbey Motorsport just before 0800hrs, Scott greeted me in the office and promptly set about unwrapping my HFC for me to look at and also the air intake which looked rather nice even in a box. Gave them the key and sat down to read one of the many Japanese car magazines. About an hour later I see a nice silver 370Z pull up with what seemed like a familiar number plate, as it turned out, it Was Darren-B who was also there for an UpRev so had a good chat to him. Went to have a nose around the workshop (after making sure it was ok to do so of course) The air filter was just going in at this point and looked like a bloody fiddly job (as it turns out, it was.....) but the chap persevered and finally managed to fit it and even though it took longer than expected I wasn't charged for the additional time. The exhaust turned out to be a much easier and straight forward affair but seemed a bit close to the bumper once fitted but they soon managed to sort that out too. Then it was off to the Dyno and the guy doing it seemed pretty impressed right off the bat with the initial gains. I eventually left him to it and went back to read some magazines until it was all done. All in all, I was extremely impressed with the whole experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone else thinking of using Abbey for anything. They're a great bunch and if you're lucky, you might get your face licked (by one of the dogs) The exhaust it louder than I was expecting and really howls if you give it some beans and I love the noise the air intake makes when it's sucking in air which seems a lot more pronounced when releasing the foot from the throttle.

Ding dong!

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. There's also the 'search' bar at the top that's worth a go.

That is a great looking zed and a lovely looking location too!

@ Mark, Yes please, that would be very much appreciated! I will let you know if the light is on today as I'm leaving for work shortly. Thank you again

Everyone was very friendly and let me walk about and see what was going on in the workshop and whilst the UpRev was being done. The car sounds amazing now although the N.A.T.S light was on all the way home. I'm hoping it will go away now I've parked up and used the key fob to lock and unlock it (I'm assuming that might reprogram it to recognise the key fob again?) I will find out in the morning when I go to work......] I did take some pictures of the intake, exhaust and uprev readouts but the file sizes are too big to upload on here (they're 2.8mb or something)

Good to meet another member

Have a great day

Have a good one!

Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks all. Will have to try and find somewhere to put them in my flat now.......

Will my old exhaust actually fit in the boot of the car?

So tomorrow I will be at Abbey Motorsport having the modifications put on and the UpRev done. I just wondered what others have done with the bits that are removed. Is it worth keeping them? Not even sure they'll fit in the boot.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum! Great that you got to give it a decent run back home too!
