  1. Would love to!! Wow, that's loud. Not took it through the gears yet, but doesn't seem overly loud. This will show your age, to describe it reminds me of the first time you heard a Pulsar GTi-R with a fresh Mongoose fitted would like to know it's dB though. Still wanting a rear under view of your custom set up. Yeah, really enjoyed it!! Every inch got a clean and polish.
  2. Covering all bases I see, that's good. Have you took out the spark plugs, to see if a cam cover gasket has failed? This is also common for the DE's Did you have wind deflectors? they looked good.
  3. Sorry to hear of the oil pressure issues, might have a stuck open PCV. Fresh oil change to 5w40 and fit a magnetic sump plug and drop the oil after another 500 miles to see what nasties its picked up. Loving these pictures, that last one looks indoors WOW
  4. Been out for one quick spin and the exhaust note is glorious. Gives a different driving experience as great sounding system plays such a part. Motordyne ART pipes *heat wrapped Motordyne XYZ with HFC *heat wrapped Thorney Motorsport y pipe back exhaust
  5. I need that vlog, you don't understand haha mate ever hour spent is time well served. Crazy resto, love it!!!
  6. Cheers fella, I used Mothers on the piping after wet sanding and AF tripple (great all rounder, even for stainless) for the silencers and tips. It's better than new, as it's protected now.
  7. For a good while now I've had a saved search on eBay and the forum for an exhaust system. At the time of buying my 350z it recently had fitted a Toyosport system which I really like, hence keeping for so long. With modifying cars you always want to change bits to make it your own. Orally it's very much a sports sound with OEM looks. With the thought to replace, I didn't want something generic. Weren't tickled by a Cobra, Scorpion, Indivdia, Miltek, Ark etc as good as they all are, I fancied something different. Checking every few days for new sales as you do, when a custom exhaust came up to which I thought wow that looks well made and not what one would normally associate with a poorly made crush bent. It's very much ticked all the boxes, 2 silencers (not resonators) forward flow gas, 3' mandrel with slash cut burnt tips. Took the gamble and made the purchase going of uninstalled pictures alone, not knowing anything with regards to noise, fitment or actual quality. Began the process of cleaning and protecting, later discovering it was built by Thorney Motorsport. Fitment was spot on thankfully and it sounds as good as it looks!!! Old exhaust out...... Quick clean up and rust treated, would have done more but it was in between showers and I was itching for the new shiny one. Before.... After.... New exhaust in Absolutely chuffed with it.
  8. 100% the right choice
  9. A breath of fresh air to see different wheels being fitted to a Zed, love em pal!! Cant wait to see them once fitted
  10. Did you see the episode when Thorney Motorsport made a custom exhaust for that same car WOW
  11. One of the most odd tread patterns ever in my opinion, at a glance they look directional however they're not. Very much looks like they would shift standing water better one way than the other, they confuse me always have lol
  12. I don't think so but get good reviews on other car forums
  13. We want wheels, we want wheels!!!
  14. What I bought for my Varrstoen 73.1mm to 66.1mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162546259099
  15. That was only for a few miles on a dual carriageway driving with super light throttle.
  16. Wow, coming together amazing!!! Great use of covid time, love it all. Hit up @Charlie Boy as he has a LS also in his 350z if you need any tips or links.
  17. I like them................... on other folks cars
  18. Will be using it to pre soak the panel before washing with ONR, help lift the dirt prior to contact. Will be strange to wash a car without suds or a hose, but possibly a hose pipe band is coming as it's been so dry since the end of March so let's get ahead of the curve.
  19. Nice one fella, so x5 caps in my 20lts Bal bucket. What about ratio for pre wash 1ltr spray bottle? Is that more towards clay lube rather than qd ratio.....
  20. Its only took an international pandemic, but after many many years its time to put on my big boy pants and be brave!!! I make it 15ml (one cap) per litre dilution for a pre wash spray bottle? Any tips from users would be appreciated, as it's very much uncharted territory.
  21. Few low lighy pictures from an impromptu drive out to Nottingham recently. The lack of traffic did wonders for the mpg also
