  1. I will tae the meguiers plz. pm on its way
  2. I got mine from Cougar Sports, quick delivery. You have a couple of choices too, Resonated and non-res. plus tip options Trader section: http://www.350z-uk.c...4-cougar-store/ **edit, wait im talking about the Cobra. oh well, Cougar probably does them. as do others
  3. Lol, yes i know what a mm is i was only talking about small measurements the whole time. anyway. once the wheels are on i'll see what i've got to work with for the suspension. to be honest theres nothing i love more than seeing a car sitting so low that its scraping the floor (at shows at least), but thats obviously no good to me at all. so, i might need to look ito air suspension when the time comes. we will find out soon enough
  4. I am absolutely positive that i have just worded this wrong from the start, or its been mis-read and now we are counter-arguing specifics. lol. so clean page. Using rear wheel as the example: Current size: 245/40/18 expected new size: 255/35/19 That change raises the car by 4mm off the ground. allowing me to lower the car back onto the wheels by 4mm without loss of clearance. Rolling radius change is -1.2% And the tyre profile is not ballooned. Or, 245/40/18, to 245/40/19 will raise the car by 12mm, allowing for a more substantial drop (and probably arch rolling). the former is my more likely option. *Just seen the email update while typing this about the 275/35/19 profile to 275/40/19 ... whaat? lol. i am on OEM wheels!
  5. .... dont make me go to the tyre size calculator
  6. yes this! this is what i mean by raising the ground clearance with bigger wheels, BUT then lowering onto the wheels. in doing so the arch gap can be reduced over OEM, without suffering a ground clearance loss over OEM. (give or take some mm's) Am i just not explaining this right?
  7. Because thats what it will look like running high profile tyres by trying to fill your arch gap, it will also most likely play havoc with your tcs if dont keep the rolling radius very near the same. If you need a compromise Tein springs offer a slight drop Right, i see what you mean now. i think ''4x4'' is a bit over exaggerated in my head i was thinking of mm's in the single figures to help the clearance issue. I wasnt looking for arch gaps like this, nor do i intend to partake in this awesome looking activity.
  8. I appreciate that. there is going to have to be compromise somewhere. when the car comes back, and wheels get fitted i will then measure my clearance over the drive, and over some local bumps. and take it from there. i am not expecting to have alot to play with though, if anything.
  9. where has 4x4 come from? and why is it being repeated? well, unfortunately i dont have a 99% luxury here. in fact, getting off my driveway would be the first stumbling block.
  10. Fancy finding a written off Corvette Zr1 for me, and shipping back the engine?
  11. Just found a 370Z for sale in the US running 20" Vossen CVTs. oooo want I want. I feel like a horny teenager with a Nuts Mag when i see these. Concave-ness too :D
  12. subscribing. im curious to know what people come up with.
  13. Rotas + v2 + charge speed rear = oem #teamtarmac This
  14. Correct, but i was implying that the rolling radius would need to be bigger to pull this off. its a tough one really. but what i really need to do is to put my hand in my pocket and get some hydraulic suspension with quick pre-sets :lol: speed bumps = not an issue. looking like i have a car full of 25-stone men in tescos carpark = not an issue.
  15. I was going to do the wheels first, and then once they are fitted decide what suspension would be required afterwards. problem is i am really loathed to lower the car at all, i already have issues on my local speed bumps and even some driveways and carparks with a slope. the do-luck front bumper is a little longer which wont help the nose rising before the wheels either. I think I may need to look at getting larger diameter wheels, and dropping the car onto the wheels, rather than dropping it to the road (if you get me). = reduce arch gap, but not ground clearance.
  16. 265 wide tyres. plenty of tread how wide is the wheel and offset. because from the side they look so beasty!
  17. **DIPPING !!! *** With the exception of the Slam Panel, here it all is From this: To this:
  18. At Last, someone that didnt do Carbon! looks great. good call.
  19. You were behind me (Red AUdi) on your way to McDOnalds nr Cineworld Rochester. Air Intake in the bumper, front bumper was aftermarket. different headlights. HID of sorts. I did slow down to 20 in a 30 for you to catch up.... man you were going slow. lol
  20. Oh, then i apologise . This is my bad, I thought you was talking about Led Zeppelins new album or something. didnt know it was a speaker system. lol.
  21. I have to agree. granted from the video we dont actually know what stage of tuning this car is at, or what sort of power its putting down (or do they? i dont recall seeing it in the comments) but it really dont seem to leave the BMW far behind. i think its probably just a case however, that this drag race wasnt the best way to show it off.
  22. (Unless I have mis-read this post...) Welcome to the Modern World! This thing called Youtube, is indeed awesome for comparing exhaust sounds.
