Looking to come back to another Z after selling my JDM 350z ST back in 2007! In particular looking for a 370z GT Coupe, Manual, Sub 40k miles, no too many previous owners. I'm based in Watford but can travel approx 150 miles. Many thanks

Ok about time I got myself in another Zed now! Looking for a 370z GT manual with sub 40k miles in good condition. Need to sell my well modified track / fast road spec Honda S2000 GT (with hardtop) first. Or part ex with cash your way as my S2K is probably worth approx £9.5k -

Yea that was my good friend who crashed his Spec C at Brands Hatch!! You've got a good memory Marzman! I do remember your username also. I should have guessed Sarnie would have got a car like that after his Orange Lambo!! I also have some photos from JAE show in 2006 or 2007 which I'll dig out. I also remember there was Zedrush Jay who had his Veilside big build done from East Shore Racing, which then turned into a fiasco afterwards.! lol -

Thanks everyone Will post up some pics when I get home. ps my mistake it is still called 350z-uk but in Google it displays the name with 370-uk.com also so got confused. I remember Ebized! What happened to MikeyF and Sarnie?! -
Thats a pretty long come back! After the 350z I've been through way too many Jap Rally specials, Luxo Barges, German 4wd super hatches and the odd track build. Currently finishing a lightly modified Honda S2000 for occasional track days as well as a Special Edition E92 M3. But I think in 2019 I may want to start a 370z project! I wonder if any of the old faces are still around on here when it used to be called 350z-uk.com

Very very sorry to hear this sad news Jay. Be strong & always remember the good times. You will see her again one day... My mother passed away 10 years ago at the age of 51 from breast cancer, I was only 22 at the time, I miss her as much as I did 10 years ago, but now I remember mainly the happy moments we spent together & not on the event of her passing.

Reduced to £19,990 In "Total Impreza" Magazine from March 4th, WhSmiths etc If anyones after a Spec C, my minty mint Spec C is up for sale. (Over £5k spent on parts, plus labour) Yes you can get a std Spec C for £18k, but here for a couple of thousand extra you are getting a fully sorted Spec C that will not need a penny spent on it for the next 2 years on anything (then only pads & tyres) & it has had over £6k spent on it already. Plus it is the best example in the country, show standard & one of only 2 in white in th UK (non RA), this being the first one & the only Litchfield one .

NOW FOR SALE See for sale section for thread Apologies in advance if this sounds rude but if you are looking for a cheap deal this is not it. This is for sale at this price because of what it is & in my opinion there are enthusiasts out there who will understand what this car is & appreciate what they are paying for. You will be hard pressed to come across a car like this again for a long time I can assure you. This is on offer here before this car is advertised in national/web publications in the new year. I would rather sell it here to fellow enthusiasts rather than on e.g Pistonheads etc This is a one of only a few MY06 Hawkeye Spec C's in White in the UK & that is out of only maybe approx 1000 Hawkeye Spec's ever made. The Hawkeye shape was only in production from 2005 to 2007 & of the limited Spec C’s there are only to my knowledge, 2 in white, in the UK. I have documented this cars ownership over the past two years since I have owned it on Scoobynet. I have various threads (especially in the Southern Section) where you can find the cars development & enhancements & I am a well known member on here & with the Middx Subaru Owners Club. (MSOC) http://bbs.scoobynet.com/private-sale-cars-352/804174-rare-hawkeye-spec-c-white.html#post9089774 Whatever condition you expect this car to be in, it is far far better! It has only covered approx 16k miles & was bought from Litchfield Imports & has been maintained by them ever since, with their full service history since import. Ian Litchfield knows me personally & can vouch for this car & its credentials! I believe this is the best Hawkeye Spec C in the country & especially in this sought after colour. The car is immaculate & is as near to new as possible. This side of a £30,000 Spec C RAR, there is nothing better that rolled out of the Subaru factory. After the enhancements this car has had, I would even reconsider my above statement…….. I have spent over £5,000 over the past 2 years as documenetd in the list below. By improving on parts where costs & further research stopped Subaru at the time of production & where power & ultimate race/rally focus may have been compromised by Subaru when selling to the mass public. Below is a list of enhancmemts over & above what a standard Spec C has [*:3c830yos]345bhp / 400 ft/lb torque @ 1.6bar peak boost [*:3c830yos]Over 300ft/lb of torque from under 3,000 rpm to 6000rpm [*:3c830yos]0 to 60mph in approx 4sec [*:3c830yos]Remapped by Rich @ Powerstation [*:3c830yos]Hyperflow top mount intercooler [*:3c830yos]HaywardScott 3†heat wrapped exhaust system with Miltek backbox [*:3c830yos]Prodrive 3 port boost solenoid [*:3c830yos]Forge Uprated Actuator-blue spring [*:3c830yos]KN panel filter [*:3c830yos]NGK PFR7B plugs [*:3c830yos]Whiteline Rear 24mm adj roll bar [*:3c830yos]Silkolene ProvS engine oil / Silkolene Silktran gearbox oil [*:3c830yos]Motul RBF600 brake fluid [*:3c830yos]Satin gunmetal sti alloys [*:3c830yos]Carbon Creations mini mudguards [*:3c830yos]Back window tint [*:3c830yos]Front splitter-HT Autos [*:3c830yos]Perrin wing stiffis/Rear lip spoiler [*:3c830yos]Carbon fibre exhaust surround [*:3c830yos]Prosport Elec Stepper gauges/Nomad Pod [*:3c830yos]8000K HID xenon lighting [*:3c830yos]Various Security [*:3c830yos]Odyssey PC680 7kg battery [*:3c830yos]Alpine Headunit / InfinityKappa 62.7i frnt spkrs [*:3c830yos]Parrot- intergrated bluetooth phone kit Fitted in last 2 months: [*:3c830yos]Exedy Racing Pink Clutch Kit -organic [*:3c830yos]BC Coilover fully adjustable suspension -6/4 springs [*:3c830yos]Performance Friction Z pads all round [*:3c830yos]4x Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta Tyres in 235/45/17 – (fitted 2 weeks ago) [*:3c830yos]Full custom alignment with 2.10 neg camber front & 1.6 neg camber rear The Japanese STI Spec C is mechanically very different to the production STI models.

[*:3c830yos]Performance revolving chamber fuel pump (anti surge) [*:3c830yos]Stiffer chassis with revised welding & stiffer suspension turrets [*:3c830yos]Smaller 50 litre fuel tank & Smaller lightweight battery I will update with new pictures asap, since the BC Coilovers have been fitted, car sits lower. Serious buyers only & test drive if you are insured to drive this car or after deposit paid. (Reg plate not included in sale) I have had it for 2 years now & got it to the stage I wanted & now fancy a change. If it doesn't sell at this price I wont be too dissapointed & will keep it anyway, until the right buyer comes along. This is a depreciation proof classic that in my opinion in years to come will also appreciate in value such as the 22B' £21,500 ono All enquiries through PM on here or email to ricky@hindeshotel.com
