  1. Car looks very nice mate. I have some more here, drop me your address on PM and I can put them in the post to you. Failing that, any local B&Q etc will do a suitable washer and bolt combo
  2. Amo's NSX is awesome which is the car in the multistory at 1:39, it was the Trial Demo Car from Japan. The RX7 belonged to a mae of mine before she sold it and that was nice but they scratched it up & damaged the lambos during filming. There is a nice black Range Rover Sport as well that belongs to another mate of mine, that has had some serious wedge put into it!! Funniest thing was the actor driving the silver (Aarons) M3 in that clip was some up & coming UK rap star and he couldn't drive the paddle shift for toffee so they had to film it accordingly!! The guy that sorted all the cars, Lofty, built the Sierra and had great pleasue in chavving it up as much as possible!! I have a load of pictures from all the filming somewhere that I will try to find. Be warned though...............the film sucks in a way you never thought possible

  7. It's ebay mate! Make sure they don't charge you for the BIN option though as for that price, it will probably be a big fee.

    Carbon Intake Pipe

    Anyone got one or know where I can get one from? For clarification, i'm looking for the pipe that goes from the filter to the tb
  9. Isn't that you Mark?? The hair looks similar....
  10. I had a picture in Fast Car a couple of years ago with the caption....."If God could drive, he would drive a Veilside 350Z" I was also in this months Fast Car with my car pictured at a local cruise and my Z was also voted into the computer game European Street Racer from a Max Power competition
  11. If you buy spacers with a 66.2 center bore (Z fitment) then they will fit flush onto the hub without the need for spiggott rings and also onto an oem wheel, Rays etc. If you were to get aftermarket wheels at a later time, they usually come with bigger center bores to allow fitment to the biggest possible range of cars so you could get some spiggott rings for the wheel side of the spacer ie 66.2 to 73mm spiggott for example.
  12. The center bore of these spacers on both sides are 73mm. It is fine on the hub side as you can use a spiggott ring to centralise them but the wheel side of the spacer is too big so the wheel wouldn't sit flush with the spacer unless you cut the lip off which is really not worth the hassle & pretty much defeats the point of them being hubcentric.
  13. Have you tried some penetrating oil overnight or even soaking in some WD40??

  15. I don't think we could be further! I am just concerned about how much care a courier would take with it if it were to be sent. I suppose I could bubble wrap it and then coat it in multiple layers of cardboard and sent it insured???
  16. Ideally I would want a bonnet in exchange as well but without a bonnet I would be looking for £425/£450 or offers around there.
  17. I currently have an N-Style Carbon Bonnet that I purchased from Jeff at EPRacing and I am looking to swap it for an oem bonnet plus £400 ono. The swap would have to be done at my place in Crawley, West Sussex as my Z is currently SORN and I really don't want to ship them both due to size, weight and liklyhood of damage! My bonnet is in very good condition with only two marks on it. The first is at the front of the bonnet (see picture) where something has scuffed it slightly but it is only in the clear coat. I have had a go at polishing it and most of the scratch has come out but I will give it another go asap and try to remove it fully. It also has a crack in the clear coat by one of the vents which it came with & a couple of smaller (half the size of a finger nail) similar marks in the corners of the next vent dip down. Again, I am pretty sure these could be cut back and redone but it's not something I want to dabble with myself in case I make it worse!! It has an adjustable front latch so the height the bonnet sits at can be adjusted to the required height and is secured to the bonnet hinges by the standard two bolts each side. Your oem bolts are suitable to use with this or you can have the bolts I am using currently. I was running with only one lower vent on but I have sourced new fixings and both vents are now on. As far as I know there are only a handful of these in the country and imo it is the nicest looking carbon bonnet out there. I am looking for the swap as now my car is matt black and smoothed, I just don't feel the car flows well with the gloss carbon and vents which is why I am looking for a smooth oem bonnet. I am looking for a bonnet that is in medium to good condition. I am not worried about stone chips as I will be cutting it back and respraying it anyway but obviously, the less the better! However, it can't be dented or damaged. Pictures...... The bonnet Crack in clearcoat Scratch on front Underside
  18. Cheers Mike. It does fit in, just, have about an inch and a half each side when I am going through the door but then gets a lot wider once in
