  1. Hmm magnet one seems awesome! So discreet. How long have you been using it for? You sure it doesn't affect the phone? Do I need to attach a matching magnet to my phone or does it just stick using internal metal work?

  2. Hey bud,

     

    I would tell them to just foot the bill for it and take it to a place in glasgow. I know a good place in EK next door to automek. they do all my stuff. the guys name is Rab. i would get rab to also do your front bumper and send the overall bill to nissan for the inconvinience lol

  3. Take off the mods. Speak to insurance company and ask them what mods your allowed to do - what does it say in their list and pick mods from there.

     

    DO NOT let the insurance be cancelled since you will not get insurance again anywhere. All companies ask "have you had insurance cancelled for any reason in the last 5 years?" If you say yeah they won't insure you period!

  4. With a few hundred miles on it, the car sounds sweet as a nut! I'm still to fit my berks cats which will open it up even further but what a difference these mid silencers have made. the start up sounds mean and then it goes back to stock until you get above 3k revs and it sounds really really OEM+.

     

    i would recommend people try this before spending a lot on exhaust. cost me just £60. i'll put a video up when the berks are also fitted. hope its not too loud!

  5. Thanks for the replies.

    Stevo that car looks great! But those wheels look gunmetal to me and they don't come in gunmetal colour :(

    The strip is a GT edition strip. Came on the car when I bought him the car but it's not a GT edition. Feel like a cheat!

  6. I easily get my pencil bag in the widest section of the boot. Ie rear light to rear light and I've got the rest if the boot for my shoes and other stuff. Although I need to upgrade my bag to a cart bag but I need to take the car to the shop and check it still fits.

     

    Suits, can you check if your bag fits like my pencil one and let me know? The bag I want is a callaway chev bag which looks like the same size as yours

  7. Has anyone done this on their 370? I don't fancy the fly eyes. I actually want to open up the headlights and spray them black but I'm too chicken even though I've done it on my celica. It's was just quite a mission to do.

    So I'm considering tinting the headlights a very light smoke colour so that the front end if the car doesn't look as bright and chrome. Especially since the wheels are a darker colour now and not stock.

    Does it need to be a special film? Also is it a DIY job or do I need to take it somewhere?

    Thanks

  8. Get an uprev so you can safely run 95 fuel. Runnin 95 over 99 costs me an extra £1 a day for the commute to work so in 1.5 years the up rev has paid for itself if I get it and safely run 95 Ron hahaha

  9. Mines also does exactly all of the above and I got another member to listen to the car and drive it too. His car got replaced under warranty and he listened to mine and said its fine. Wasn't like the noises he was getting which warranted a replacement clutch and flywheel.

     

  10. Having my braided brake lines put on, new Ferodo DS2500 pads all round and 4 wheel alignment. And slightly less exciting, M.O.T is being done as well. Can't wait! :D

     

    How was the car after alignment?

  11. Not sure if its any help but I Just bought a 3 piece lip direct from Evo-R, fibreglass side bits and a carbon fibre centre bit, and all in with shipping and import it was 240 quid.

     

    I dont know if it makes a difference to the stone chipping (I would guess not) but the fibreglass is really strong, no flex in it. Up until now I thought this was a good thing, now I'm having second thoughts haha.

     

    lol it's better to have flex bud. More flex means it's less likely to break. BUT since it's 3 piece you could probably easily wrap it with helicopter tape. Clear stuff. It's what they put in the lesson edge of helicopter blades to stop stones cracking them. And the blades spin at like Mach 2 so should be good enough for the front lip of a car! I've had this tape in my arches and it's perfect.

    Have you lowered your car? Are you going for the all black inside section and coloured outside?

     

  12. I thought it caused a severe vibration when driving!

     

    It was actually my gearbox input shaft bearing that had failed!

     

    I just never put the flywheel back in and to be fair, I need the cash!

     

    Daam did you get it sorted? You have a 370 or a 350?

     

    Are you selling your clutch too?

    Cheers
