dajw Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Here you go Nic: 2x K&N RU-1460 air filters. Mine more dirty on one side than the other but could use a clean. And the worlds fastest coffee grinder just levelled up with a new sticker I found in the box! That's a modified (of course) Mazzer Super Jolly grinder. I converted it to single dose, and gave it a service. Damned good machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hahaha. To be fair it is a crop from a photo of the sky and trees, plus it hides just how dirty the car was at the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajw Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Picked up Reggie from the body shop this morning. A cracking job in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajw Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Work by Ben's Crash Repairs, St. John's, Woking. Three stage pearlescent on the bumper plus blending across the bonnet and wings to match the existing paint (& fix up the stone chips). Went down to the bare plastic and built up from there. They also re-did the dark metallic on the lip. Good work, reasonably priced (though the third party insurer paid). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Its been a pleasure, people! I've handed over to someone who will look after Reggie, who will look after, polish, wax, detail, maintain and improve this already awesome car. There's so much going on in my life right now that running a modified car was far from a priority, it needed too much of my time and I found this somewhat stressful. A fortunate conversation led me to an interesting proposal, in which I swapped Reggie for an unmodified white 370z GT Edition of almost the same age and the same underlying value according to Glass' guide. We swapped cars, and we agreed a figure for the modifications and condition. It was quite a shock to go back to a stock 370z. Its a great car but it was time for a change, and was a route to trade in. Many of you know I've had the pleasure of running two 981 Boxsters with the PDK transmission. The 3.4 S and the 2.7, and both were fantastic. I've traded in the standard 370z with Porsche GB (its likely to turn up with BCA as this is how they dispose of their trade in stock). So the new car is an absolutely gorgeous 2015 Porsche Boxster 981 Black Edition. Its very well specified, with the PDK transmission, PASM (10mm drop, dynamic dampers), sports exhaust, some gorgeous carrera classic 20" wheels and some more besides. The Sport Plus mode gives the fastest gearchange I've ever felt — it sounds like the GT-3 or a sports bike! Will turn up at a meeting sometime soon I must say that this is the nicest and most involved car community, and I'll miss the 'spotted' stuff — a friendly wave was always a feature in the 'z. That just doesn't happen in a car as common as the new one! I now hand over to Reggie's new owner to introduce himself!

Richf Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks Dominic - I had already met Reggie and Dominic as we both used H-Dev for work before I started here We have done a few supercharger installs here at H-dev and the last one we did on a very nice gunmetal 370z got me thinking about doing a supercharger conversion on mine (although I had different plans for my car) So ideal for me when Reggie came up and much nicer for a car like that to be owned by an enthusiat rather than being broken down for parts or simply disappearing into the trade I have a few plans for it , have already removed the SPL droplinks for stock ones, was able to fit my carbon shift paddles and retrimmed wheel along with the obligatory GTR start button , lots of little changes planned including a remap with Ecutek First things first was a good detail, going from daily driver to a regular on the show circuit will take some elbow grease for sure but a start has been made 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 My old car CF12RGF that Dominic traded in was a minter so if that appears I have kept a huge file on the history of it rather than let the trade lose it , CF12 RGF in case someone searches the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Great move Dom, I am sure you will not be disappointed! First question though, is the power difference noticeable? Edited April 7, 2016 by 370Ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajw Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Great move Dom, I am sure you will not be disappointed! First question though, is the power difference noticeable? Of course - but I've had my insane power fun. This one is about sublime balance. Plus it sounds awesome! (It's not slow, but compared to Reggie it is!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hope Reggie is enjoying his new home. Lovely looking car the Porsche, well the section I can see. The alloys look wicked. Hope the new owner enjoys Reggie as much as you did, and the Porsche brings you lots of pleasure along the way. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
