kense Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi all, Some punk called Sarnie sent me here, said I should share my car with all of you... I browsed the site for a while before making the leap into actually laying down the cash for a 350Z... I've had it for about a month now, and am thoroughly happy with it, so thought I'd sign up and say hello! It's a kuro black 05 plate, with Nismo kit and Nismo 19s, an S-tune sports exhaust and S-tune air intake. I'm slightly peeved that the original Bose head unit has been removed by the previous owner, and the sat-nav isn't the best, but it does play DVDs via an Alpine head unit... Front left alloy's also a little scuffed, and I've managed to put over £200 worth of petrol in it in 4 weeks, but on the whole I'm pleased with it! Here's a couple of photos: Does anyone recognise it? Could it be from a previous member? I'm from Birmingham but bought it from a small dealer down in London. I need to get a tracker for it, so if anyone's got any recommendations for cheap / good places to go (preferably locally) let me know. Also some new tyres, the rears are dangerously close to the legal limit! Anyway, I look forward to spending some time around the forum, Speak soon, kense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Welcome, Kense! Seriously nice motor you have there. No badges, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kense Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Nope, no badges, not even the 'Z's above the side-repeaters. Was thinking about smoking the lights to go for the full 'batmobile' look... Think I'll leave it as it is for the time being though, turns enough heads! Spending the day shopping for tyres, trackers, and security posts for my driveway tomorrow (amongst other things). Have fun playing in Wales, those of you who are going!

kense Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Took a few photos earlier on at my old man's pub... Hadn't washed it at this point, though, so don't watch the grubbiness (of the wheels especially!) Also been to order some new Michelin Pilot Sports for the rears, Kwik Fit are doing them for £500 for the pair including fitting (I could only manage to find them for £300+ each on the internet, so didn't feel too hard done by). I guess having the 19s comes at a price! Worth it though. Cheers for the welcomes by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kense Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 By the way, if any of you fancy a trip to the pub, it's quite a nice drive out there, and my old man will give you 20% off (does one of the moderators want to put this on the discounts page?) Can fit a fair few cars on the car park too, if you fancy doing a cruise up there some time... Directions to the pub are on the website (click the banner) (Excuse the crap quality of my phone's camera... It goes about half way again behind where I'm stood taking the photo) We're just in the process of sorting out a classic car meet and an FTO club meet there, as well as the HUUUUGE bonfire night on November 3rd with professional fireworks display - imagine a small 1 bed bungalow, that's about the size that the bonfire is currently at, and it's getting bigger every day! Anyway, enough plugging. See you later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugger Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (Excuse the crap quality of my phone's camera... It goes about half way again behind where I'm stood taking the photo) I reckon you took it like that deliberately. You see, your real vehicle is the white van in the background and you realised we would be onto you if you took a better picture........

MarkW Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Can vouch for the Fleur-de-Lys being a nice pub and drive out. Food would be good value at 20% off as well - how do we get the discount?

Removed Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 surely we can arrange the discount code, for the banner though you'll have to wait for Chris (Chesterfield) to come back from holiday (any day now) Nice Z you have there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kense Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 They're expecting over 1000 people there on bonfire night, so I suggest that night's probably not the best one to have all the Zed's lined up... As far as the discount's concerned, if you speak to the gaffer and say you're from the owner's club, tell him his son sent you, he'll sort you out. Food is really nice (not being biased either) and is great value for the price, like MarkW said. 'Swanky restaurant food at pub grub prices', or something to that effect.
