Had a look at it, not sure those seats look any lower than stock....and they're a bit fancy for me I Did some research, the floor plan looks like a real ball ache to do anything with Also it seems people have trouble getting wide seats in there, might be a no go for me

Haha, yeah I'll be decapitated Should have stated, I'm only interested in a tin top

Hi all I had a 350z a few years ago, the reason i sold it was that at 6ft6 i didn't have enough head room with my helmet on on for track days, it was near enough impossible to drive. Now i was wondering if anyone has managed to mount a fixed back bucket seat lower than a standard cloth seat? I need atleast another 2 inches over a cloth seat i'd imagine. On my track Civic I have side mounts bolted straight through the car floor and bolted underneath the car with spreader plates....so i'm literally sat on the floor :D. Is this an option on the Z....it obviously depends on the shape of the floor pan inside the car (needs to be flat really) and if there is anything in the way underneath the car? I really fancy another Z but its useless to me if i cant track it. Cheers!

Do the seats sit lower than stock? I sold my z because I didn't have enough head room!

Still got these in My garage if anyone wants to make me an offer

His premises are pretty small to be fair, wouldn't suit a meet. What space he did have was taken up by 2 E type jags, an impreza and some crazy drag American truck things!

£5000.....politely tell him to get f**ked

Just to update this, I finally got round to getting my alignment done at Andy Turners. Nice guy and a real Motorsport enthusiast. It's totally transformed my car, no more skittishness, feels really planted now and the front end turns in sharper. Only charged me £40 too, bargain. Got my recommendation anyway if you Yorkshire guys are still looking to get a geo setup done.

Possibly I didn't give it enough of a chance but I just couldn't get on with it. I was expecting the 2.0 in that chassis to feel pretty Damn fast but it just didn't. I just thought the DC2 had it beaten in every area, felt like an event to drive that. I think that bar stool driving position just wound me up from the start and the gear stick throw was too long but I suppose felt ok in a french way. I just don't think it was for me, though their popularity can't be denied!

I bought a Clio 182 Trophy, supposedly the best hot clio. I sold it after 2 weeks. The driving position was terrible, seats weren't very supportive, the engine had no torque and the top of the Rev range didn't have enough bite to make up for this. Gear change was crap and it sounded like a fart. I really dont understand the fuss, it gave me no feeling that I was in a proper performance car at all. I find the 350z really involving on a B road, great sound and handling balance and feel are great despite its weight. I have had plenty of "drivers" cars, DC2s, Impreza Type R and many more and I really put the 350 up there with them. Maybe the people who think they can't do track/B road work haven't had decent tyres,brakes,Geo? Sorting those out has really transformed my car!

I'm still the only Z on the attendees list.......

Is it thermostatic?

Is it thermostatic?

Surely the point of HFCs is that they pass an MOT, otherwise you'd just fit much cheaper decats?

Sounds good to me!
