Latest Aquisition!

[260Z TT]

I finally managed to get a drive in our new 350Z roadster to Manchester last night.
All I have to say is, what a stunning drive!
Even though temperature was around 1 deg celcius, I was very impressed.
Roll on the good weather!
The Bose stereo is absolutely brilliant at any volume too.

Must get my 260Z finished!!!

Mark.

The 350Z cabrio doesnt cut the mustard for me, but tell me more about the cherry turbo in the background

Mark, what specifically do you like most?

I love the steering and the suspension which is firm but not crashy. It's best on undulating fast curvy roads, runs through the Peak District are great.

Very nice mate! I nearly crashed mine yesterday, trying to be a 'smart arse' in the snow!!!

Love the new Z you are going to have to wait untill it stops snowing before you take the roof off.

Datsfun,
Cherry Turbo has been my daily driver for the last 15 years I have owned it!
Koni adjustable shox, 7x16 BK racing alloys from an S13 that used to belong to Gerry Marshall (of Big Bertha fame).
Wire ringed block, relocated AFM, large front mount intercooler, 2.5" Tube Torque stainless exhaust, Evo 8 fuel pump, running 15psi boost.
Have a new GT25r turbo sitting waiting to go on when I get rest of bits to convert.
Puts many modern cars to shame , even as it is, very long gearing!
Mark.

Rob,
I agree with what you say, brembo brakes have good feel too.Civic Type R we had was very firm, but this is more refined yet still competent.
Gill says that the best things about it are the heated seats and the Bose stereo.

Good call Gill

You cant beat a nice warm and refined rear with a quality sound system
Enjoy the 350z. It will grow on you more & more!

 

[martinmac]

No suprise that I think its a great car and colour then

 

[Nidge74]

Warm arse and cool tunes

What more could a woman ask for???????

With the imminent arrival this summer of the 370Z prices on 350Zs are finally starting to look afforadable. Great news for those looking to buy or who are buying now.
I know of one person who has just bought a brand new 350Z full GT spec UK car for less than £20K from a Nissan dealer.
And just last night I was offered an 04 reg 04 plate std UK car for £7500 with less than 50K on the clock
I might have had it but I have nowhere to park it at the moment.

Hey Pete As they are coming down in price so soon and in about a years time I better get some shares in abrasive wheels as you could be buying a load

Congratulations on getting your 350Z!

Good ain't they?!

Nice 350 mate but, would love to see lots of pics of that Cherry Turbo mate. I used to have one of those.

 

[260Z TT]

Thanks Matt,
I will try and get some together soon and put them in my gallery.
Keep checking!
