does fmic involve cutting 99 spec bumper?
Then get some uprated SMICs. Just as good.

Any of you South Central, South Wales or Midlands lot bored this weekend?
It is at a pub, so I'd imagine there would be. ;)

best colour for clipers
Stick with silver. Nice and clean. Who the hell wants their eyes drawn to stock calipers!? Keep em silver and they'll just blend in to nothingness. Whenever I see red, yellow, green or whatever colour calipers I think 'oh, he's painted his calipers' rather than 'oh, that looks clean and tidy'...as in having them silver.

Weather is going to be great on Sunday and we're having a gathering at a pub near Swindon. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=137217 So if you lot are at a loose end, would be cool to have some more people. Have about 10 so far which is quite a nice amount....but would be nice to make it a 'bigun', like the infamous Ross-on-Wye meet of 2005. :)

Volcano pics
Gary, think you'll find that the lightening pictured was not created as part of a weather system, but by the volcanic dust being spewed out at high pressure from the main vent.

Beautiful photos. Makes you realise how incredible the earth we live on really is. Thanks for sharing the link. :)

Your typical work day
Mine is different every day. Are you in the office tomorrow Martin? Might swing by around lunchtime if you are so I can eat all your chocolate! ;)

best colour for clipers
My wheels are not white!?!? Orange will be revolting. Stock calipers are something you really don't want your eyes to be drawn to. Keep them clean. Silver/grey or black are what I'd do....even when I upgrade to large calipers, they'll be Tarox or something in a silver or grey. I've always said that 'keeping colours to a minimum' is what makes a car look easy on the eye. Same goes for engine bays. Nothing worse than ugly brightly coloured hoses. Black/chrome/silver is the way to go for an engine bay. As for the glowing bonnet badge....seriously tacky IMO.

Mesh...
Chicken wire Al?

25th April Meet
Is it just Sunday lunch/carvery for Sunday here or is the full regular menu available?

Mesh...
Mesh is nasty hateful stuff. Personally would try to avoid using it at all cost. I have seen it done and it's not nice. It's the silver mesh that looks awful. Black plastic mesh, not so bad. But it's not something that's needed or is nice or a stock bumper. 99 bumper comes with some sort of black mesh grille in the middle of it which looks ok.

New wheels
Much more flattering than the old ones. Nice. Still secretly hoping you'll refit the original bonnet though. A set of Kaminari skirts would match the front bumper I think. You thought about getting rid of the whiteboard on the front and going for something smaller?

Make you Zed spotless
There are much better products out there than Meguiars. It's pretty good though and one of the better main stream products.

£87.50 for a manual gearbox!!!
Everyone knows what a Z32 looks like. It's all about the presentation.

£87.50 for a manual gearbox!!!
Because it was a crap advert, rubbish photo and it was on ebay.

Airports open!!
I'm glad as I'm off to California next month! Was starting to worry! Still not holding my breath! Mt Katla could blow her top and that really would be game over for European airspace! 4 x more powerful that the one which shat its load all over us over the weekend.

Rear wiper yes or no??
99 spoiler and smooth tailgate.

Rear wiper yes or no??
Evidently, hence the rubber bung. :wack:

Rear wiper yes or no??
Patience is a virtue. :)
-
Rear wiper yes or no??
I'm not talking modified or unmodified. A wiper is nicer than a bung until which time you would have done it properly. ;) Dave, Madmax has a 99 rear spoiler and no wiper and it looks pretty good. I quite like 'em without the rear wipers, but wouldn't remove mine.
-
Rear wiper yes or no??
Rear wiper would be better. ;)
-
Rear wiper yes or no??
Just don't do a rubber bung. If you're gonna remove it, do it properly. Remove everything, weld up the hole, light skim of filler and paint. Ford used to fit their poverty spec MK3 Fiestas with a rubber bung. The Popular and Popular Plus versions came sans-rear wiper and had a cheap-ass looking bung stuck on the back to plug the hole. Surely a wiper would be better than a rubber bung?

Volcano closes UK airports
UK airspace been given the green light! Just hope Mt.Katla doesn't blow her top! 4x as powerful!
-
Rear wiper yes or no??
No, don't really need it (then again, I don't need my front wipers as they never get used), but would rather keep it than have redundant switch gear.

Aftermarket wheel offsets & sizes
20" is too big. Will look like a rollerboot. As for offsets, it depends on what widths you go for. Many variables. Most common are 8.5 and 9.5 x 18. Ideal offsets for these are +18 and +35 respectively. Ignore standard offsets as those are for stock wheels and are irrelevant when upgrading.
