  1. Picturing you in a whole different way now Ricky. Got "Born to be wild" playing in my head. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, ...the colour is definitely not what I'd choose but everyone has different tastes. Are you going to fit any gauges? As I notice it looks like it has none at all. I'd imagine you may need to change the tyres as well if they're that old with the bike not being ridden.
  2. Could be his inbox is full ~ hopefully this bump will bring it to Brads attention.
  3. Loved. Variety of aftermarket parts available ~ ease of modding. Seating position ~ Gauges, pedal position & wheel position all spot on. Styling & overall appearance/shape. Adjustable rev position shift light. Handling even as standard ~ inspires confidence when driving spiritedly. Hated. That I sold it. That I worried about jealous people damaging it every time I parked it somewhere. Boot space ~ mainly due to strut bar getting in the way. Headlights ~ not great on the DE for spirited driving on dark unlit roads. That I sold it. (worth mentioning twice )
  4. Cool. "My other vehicle is on its way to Pluto".
  5. My fiancee used to be a "Training Supervisor & Exam Moderator" in a company which deals with training adults new computer skills, Sage pay and other skills. All classroom based stuff and literally no homework. What about her doing adult learning instead? Is that something she might be interested in?
  6. It's like Christmas every day for you. On a side note; I like your sink (definitely need to change mine in 2017).
  7. Never used them myself but looking at the price of them it would worry me to an extent with putting them on my car especially as looking at the "EU tyre rating label" they only have an "E" rating for "Wet Grip & Braking Distances". Not what you want imo on a heavy (ish) rwd car. Personally if you don't want to spend too much on tyres then the minimum I'd be looking at is something like the "Falken 453". I'm recommending those as that's what I had on my Zed and I know they perform very well but basically what I'm saying is you really should up your tyre budget imo as they are your only contact with the road surface so not really worth risking buying cheap just to save a few quid as it may cost you a lot more in the long run. Hopefully Dan (Ekona) the resident tyre guru will pop in with his opinion.
  8. Hello Riichard, moved your thread here as thought it more appropriate for you to get a proper welcome. I'm pretty sure that car belonged to a member on here but can't say for definite. Maybe worth having a trawl through the members build projects to see if you can spot it in there. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/156-member-build-projects/ Also here is a buyers guide that may be helpful: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/110679-youtube-350z-buyers-guide-fixes/
  9. Cool, ...look forward to seeing what they're offering as I love Castle Combe.
  10. Yep. He'll also have to deal with having to say "yee haw" when accelerating and "gasoline" instead of petrol when he needs to fill up.
  11. Same as mine did too. Think that's all you need to get right on the 453's.
  12. It's incredible what some of the surgeons are capable of doing. Definitely underpaid especially when compared to useless idiot football players and what some of them get paid. Wishing Caroline all the best in her recovery journey Pete.
  13. 245/35/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear I'd go with.
  14. Ridiculous. So how are the contestants going to prove they're mentally sane whilst trying to enter a reality show that states you may get raped or murdered entering and you cannot or your family claim compensation if that happens. Still definitely one to watch as it beats watching Ant & Dec egging celebrities on to eat Kangaroo penises.
  15. ^^ Plus one ~ Could be that the bulbs themselves are loose in the holders causing a poor connection and making the bulbs flicker. Hope the car not starting on you is nothing serious.
  16. Lot's of members registering interest in getting a calendar (link below) so keep the pictures coming into Stu for your chance at being in the calendar/s. Register interest here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/113169-2017-forum-calendar-register-your-interest/page__st__20#entry1687789

    cool black Zed

    Someone needs to tell that guy about the "penny trick". Oh and yeah agree with mbs that "music" was terrible.
  18. Yep worth a look I'd say and maybe gives you a cheaper option. I wouldn't get too hung up on mileage as providing the car has been serviced correctly they can quite easily break the 100K miles mark.
  19. I found this Zed for you if it is of any interest. It's a 2007 350Z coupe (HR engine) with 52,000 miles in what looks like the same colour as the one you have posted above. I searched for ones close to the area of that garage and this one is only 12 miles from LU3 3HP. It is up for £8,850. Link: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201611179857725?model=350%20Z&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&make=NISSAN&seller-type=trade&radius=1500&year-from=2007&postcode=lu33hp&maximum-mileage=60000&sort=price-asc&page=1 Any good? You can always ad the body kit yourself afterwards if you wanted to.
  20. Let us know when these have gone Just and we'll lock the thread.
  21. ^^ What he said. If Alex can't help you then try Emperor Tuning for a used part. Good luck.
