Such a shame you're replacing that front end. The whole car is 'Strosek'....or rather, probably a Paul Bailey replica. Near impossible to get hold of genuine Strosek parts and has been for about 15 years. I'd certainly leave it on there. I always liked that car. Just leave the damn thing alone! lol ;)

I've been to Saudi Arabia a few times. Only Jeddah and Riyadh though; 'interesting' country to say the least. Jeddah was really odd. Some beautiful coastline. Good luck with it all out there!

Welcome to the forum! :) TBH, I think you might struggle with an FTO also. They're import-only and not all insurance companies will insure an import, less likely if you're only 17 or 18 too. I think you'd fair better with a UK spec MX-5. You certainly won't get a classic policy at your age. Not trying to be a killjoy, just trying to be realistic. The Z32 TT whilst immense fun to drive is not very forgiving when things don't quite go as planned; being an inexperienced driver too, no amount of playing Forza is likely to help if you come up against a sticky situation. Saying that, we have had a few young guys insure their Z32s on here in the late teens early 20s. Not sure I'd recommend it though as I'd hate to read an article/thread about a young lad loosing control of high powered RWD sports car. By all means, go and get one, as has been suggested, there are enough what I'd call 'project cars' out there for you to cut your teeth on. Buy trusty daily hack to use for a few years and go for it!

Damned double post!

Happy birthday matey :)

In terms of aesthetics, I prefer the earlier headlights. I do really like the look of the 99spec HID headlights, but ai think the early style look more menacing and dark looking.

Stock HGs are used in many high HP builds stateside, they're actually very good at are more forgiving than metal HGs. I'd stick with stock HGs way over 500hp, they really are very good. That's no opinion, that's 'fact'!

Indeed! Typing whilst walking and eating doesn't bode well! Haha. You gotta laugh! :lol:

:bow: I was thinking EXACTLY the same!!! lol It's very refreshing!

Glad things are getting sorted though and I said that I will help where I can.....seems that has been missed too.....

I see we're going round in circles here. I am in agreement with you on pretty much everything. But as with any business, they have to protect their interests. Of course he's going to want to see evidence though as he needs to know why things aren't right. If I have kit out on site, I will need to see backuo evidence, photos and whatever before I can even sit and look at it. This thread had appeared before you'd gone anywhere with it. As/when any company, when something goes wrong, the manufacturer needs to know why before going any further. They need to know exactly before they can address the issud. I wouldn't expect anything less. This is something I have to deal with on a weekly basis. More often than not, it is fitting error, so if anything else has happened, it needs to be addressed in details. Appreciate you sent links and info, but it takes time to look at wrong product, especially when it's something thay's been a successful item. Only when venders refuse to communicate or cooperafe would I escalate things. Neither of this fully happened in this instance. You are TOTALLY and UTTERLY within your right to demand a refund dude, but I think you went about it slightly the wrong way, that's all. :)

No, I wouldn't be happy at all, but I think I would have gone about things a different way. Dragging a vendor's name through the mud and posting up private dialogue before coming to a conclusion wouldn't be how I'd have handled it. I'm a sales and marketing professional and I would have continued helpful dialogue, especially as they're 'community'. :). I am looking at this from both points of view. You have a right to be disapointed and demanding of a refund, but work with the vendor in a respectable manner and things will come to a conclusion more swiftly. Any vender would be wanting that sort of help. I am sure that if someone had an issue with one of your products, you'd rather it not had gone public until you'd been given a fair chance to sit down and look at all the facts. As far as José, these products were fit for use. You are totally right to want to understand why this has happened, as is José and I believe you're very much entitled to a refund. I am going to try and help too, not thay I have to, but I think it helps as this is 'community'. :D

....please don't shoot the messenger - I wanna help both parties. :) Something I don't have to either as it isn't really my problem, but I want to helo a valued fellow member and trader and also an internatiobal vendor :)

Agree with Mike on this. Appreciate that this is a pain in the ass, but I do believe it to be a genuine mistake. It has been sorted now. There is little/no JDM Z32 part availability in North America. I think possibly posting private correspondence wasn't the best thing to do, but also appreciate your frustration, however it is counter productive and would generally make a vendor less willing to continue dialogue. José was quick to offer a refund, something that he didn't have any legal obligation to do. This is just me playing devil's advocate. These spats have been sold in the US and I believe that as they actually fit and no one knows any better, they have been as they are. I'd also imagine that the spats supplied to José to mould were miss-sold to him and because there was no reference point and the fact that they fit, we have arrived at the situation as presented. The website has been corrected and I've agreed with José to source some SWB rear spats and to try and get back the ones you currently have. :)

Yeah, those aero wipers are really not pretty with that hUgE knuckle! Good choice Lee!

I'm fascinated in the aviation industry, being addicted to air crash investigation and other airline/airplane documentaries, I loved this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30108947

Speak to JoelyP and Olliezx, they both have.

You going to send this information to José? Want me to?

Do you have any 2+0 ones for comparison? Just wondering what the differences are, that was all. Is there anything I can help with?

Want me to send those to José? - - - Updated - - - Where did you get the LWB originals from? Your black z?

Yeah go for it! Wanna try and help both of you if I can. :)

Any photos of them trial mounted Si?
