Who would have thought 4 bits of plasrtic for a fiver would make such a difference.
I need some, rather quickly actually I just don't what size to buy.

What did you do to your zed today?
Do it. They look fab, gaz just fitted one. Which is another reason I'm leaning towards the 99spec so we don't look like twins lol.

Lol. Time will tell it's easy enough to change it all. The bonet needs a respray regardless of its eventual colour, that was always the intention. The nose pannel also has a small hairline in it, so this can be done at the same time. I've got a sheet of 3m gloss black vynal in the post as the carbon wrap on the roof bars has definatly become unfavourable to me, gloss will be muchhhhh neater. The door sails will also receive it. There should be enough left to do the nose panel so blacking that will be a negliabe side effect. I've been trying to decide what front to have either the stillen front splitter or a 99spec front. I just like both so much, I even considered the greddy as it's a cheap way to look "similar" hiwever I feel it looks gash. The lack of a swagde line leaves it looking out of place. So 99 it is. This can be added along with a few minor paint issues like a ding in the wingbthatvhsoorn last winter when we were shunting the car around gazes unit, and a paint reaction on the spoiler. Yes it's more painting but in led to believe it's the getting the job started that counts. Ie it doesn't matter if it's a bonnet of a truck or off a corsa the price won't vary too much.

Thanks for that mate. I think the nose panel loses definition in black maybe it's just cos of the edit, in real life it might not...hrm

Gonna strip the Z out
Definatly remove the electric front seats, they weigh a factual tonne. I swear half the weight if the car is there lol. A single bucket seat as apposed to the full interior will be a massive weight reduction.

Got off my fat arse this morning, got my new rear tyres spun on and swapped out the bonnet. You may remember my bonnet had an issue, well this was it.... The paint had lifted off. So a black bonnet that could be used as per as a temporary measure was kindly donated by Znut, I popped up to his place one evening and collected it. This gave me the opportunity to try out the colour and required less prep for being re sprayed. Bit of elbow grease, Fully fitted and ready to be polished and waxed. Honest opinions welcome, I think the nose panel needs to be black.

I did have Perrelli Pzero (rosso I think) they got progressively worse after they went below 4mm, new tyres being fitted tomorrow. I'm on bilstiens at present, the rear end is having some attention very soon. I Spose it's all about personal preference. Currently though 3k 1st gear launch is just tire spin.

Your car isn't exactly stock bob, significantly more traction makes it useable, you don't use normal road tyres on it do you. Even at stock boost we all know these cars are hard to launch, a set of drag radials makes a stock z32 way faster. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule. However how many of us can honestly say you make the most out of 1st and second, maybe second on a roll but off the line.... Throwing shorter ratios in won't instantly make it faster to 60 per say, faster to 100 likely yeah. I'm always happy to be proven wrong but it's just fairly obvious that in a situation were traction is the limiting factor governing acceleration, creating a situation that puts further stress on the same factor is going to hinder things. If you can create adequate grip to start with well then it's no longer a limiting factor.

If you paid up front I recon jeff may be reasonable, buisness is buisness. It's a pretty simple transaction.
