    Eibach 30mm springs on, going for alignment this week, rota gtr-d's going on end of this week and then just general breathing mods. my s14a was stage 1a and honestly it feels sooooooo much better to drive and although it doesnt feel as quick being n/a, the torque in any gear is ace!

    Plus the gt spec leather seats, cruise control and just general interior feel is lovely

    Plus, and its a massive plus, it sounds epic! honestly is the nicest exhaust note ive heard from a general road car.

    lol, theyll have to have a strong argument.

    Also, on street cred points the zed also wins as most girls hated my s14a as all they saw was a massive bean can exhaust instead of a blue "Sports car" hahaha

    They are very nice in Blue; I think for longevity, you chose the best colour!

    ROFL

    Nice one, as Ive said before it strikes me as an obvious upgrade, glad youre enjoying it

    They benefit a lot from having good tyres, and if its not decatted yet then look into it - with an induction kit as well they sound the tits

    It's a good car, just a little "slow"
    Naa i nearly did buy one but went for a bit more of a sensible choice instead (330Cd) as i wanted the economy, well i still have the sx so of course i wanted something more economical lol

    I did indeed mate but on my price range I would have got a good 350z or a dogged m3 and they seem to e expensive if they go bang

    Is the decat worth it as people say it goes more "raspy". Was looking into getting some silenced ones.

    TBH I wasnt that taken with mine when I fitted it, raspy is a good description but Ive grown to like it. If you want to keep cats the 350Z boys all love a cheeky bit of hi flow action, I believe the lovely Jeremy of Horsham can sort you out if youre going that route

    If you ever get the chance try it unsilicensed as well, amazing noises
