Got a few plans :whistle:
Wheels & Nismo exhaust sometime in the new year. 8 Pot brakes on ebay at the moment are tempting though. Hoping to go Single/Twin Turbo route in 18months aslong as the insurance keeps dropping.

Mate that looks superb, bet the insurance isnt that much different to the cupra is it?

Its about £60 more to insure it than the Cupra. If I declared the mods on the Cupra then the 350 would have been about £40 less than the Cupra.

ouch!!! is the only downside of higher performance cars i can see! kills the wallet everytime you fill them up and it disappears as quick as it went in! :cry:
liking the 350 though, interior is nice. plans sound nice, a twin turbo 350 sounds amazing!! insurance is pretty good aswell
Very nice mate.
Cracking colour aswell.
yum yum!!!!!
whats the bhp one that?

280bhp :D It doesnt feel any faster than the Cupra but its a lot smoother and before you realise it your doing silly speeds :whistle:
i was loving it until i saw the seats,not my cup o tea

I hated the seats until I seen them in the flesh. The photos really dont do the colour justice

Cracking choice of car mate
Noting you've already got the Nismo wheels in mind, might I suggest you get the accompanying bodykit?

Also, most likely a 450bhp supercharger conversion to be available in due course, poss via dealers and under warantee :-o

So many wheels to choose from. Think im probably gonna end up with a set of Volk Racing - No idea which ones yet they all seem to suit the car :whistle: and then get the Rays refurbed a different colour.
Not a fan of bodykits, looks great as it is I dont mind the Nismo spoiler but I dont think the rest of the kit is that important. Looking at Supercharger, Single & twin turbo conversions but thats a fair bit of time away yet.
If I can get the wheels, Coilovers, Exhuast, Maybe brakes and a few engine bay goodies in the next 12 months ill be happy:D .

go to G-force mate for ur turbo's, im lookin at buyin a 350z soon and they do a twin turbo kit for 3.5k which is pretty reasonable and take them upto around 435 bhp!! :)

3.5k seems way too cheap considering the APS conversion is a minimum of 8k. To run that sort of power the internals need upgrading aswell.The APS single turbo is 5k but thats not including the plenum or exhaust which are needed. From what I have read so far about the kits, a lot of G Force kits have blown the engines due to poor mapping.G force built kits have had a lot of bad feedback latley and judging by the prices given id say theres some serious corner cutting done. When it comes to doing it id rather pay that bit extra and use a trusted tuner that has been used by others.
