Wicked awesome car. Wouldn't want to think how much you've spent. As for the boot spoiler that only really matters in rwd cars as far as I'm concerned - and it doesn't have to be a big one, just a small one. Without a spoiler my Z would start getting sideways at 150mph and fishtailing a if you pushed it any further- with the factory small spoiler on it, it happily cruised to 180 with no drama.

Marham had left the car in a mess, the paintwork also got a hammering during building of the car and needed wax adding to protect it so http://www.brightgreendetailing.co.uk/ was tasked with the job of detailing the car inside and out and caring for the paintwork, and adding some decals/wrapping/graphics whilst it was there.
Really pleased with the results.

Proper pics to come

Right i'm going to ask what is probably a stupid question but what are the clips at the top of the window? I've cunningly worked out they hold the plastic window in but how do they effect opening the door? Sorry if i'm being retarded by asking this question

They just hold the plastic window into place and then there are velcro on the inside to pull them in tight, as at high speed they bend outwards and can damage the door.

One velcro is undone and you open the door the plastic windows bend under the clips.

Yes its a race car but nothing to stop it looking presentable at least to begin with

Also, you have no front indicators.

I know a race car doesn't need them, but don't you 'worry' about being hassled/fined by the pigs when you're on the road, Si?

Or am I missing somehthing obvious? e.g. is one of the Morrettes lights a light/indicator combination lamp, or something? Or have you converted the OEM sidelights to indicators?

Would think OEM sidelight is indicator now, with sidelight in the morettes

Oe sidelights are indicators.

Seems silly to keep an extra light for no reason.

I did the wiring as light as possible with as few wires as possible so losing the weight of two indicators was a big gain. Lol

Attention *****.

Love the unadulterated glee at that 'achievement' lol.


Did the fuel cap blow out due to the pressure differential? Or were you so excited at the prospect of the event, you just forgot to close it, after filling up?
