I do like them, very much.

But I hear the 250bhp is more like 180 by the time it gets through the haldex

Still want one though!

That looks really good Gaz should sound amazing, what's the insurance gonna end up costing you?

Think he said it was around £1050 with his mum and dad on his policy. Think thats pretty good for the lads age, although he does have about 4 yrs ncb [:@]

haldex - fwd until the it looses traction and becomes 4wd meaning less loss of transmisson loss compared to fulltime 4wd systems.

uprated haldex contrioller can get you permanant 4wd, aparantly a very good mod, never tried it on my s3 but people who had found it a very worth while mod most likely after a bt

I know what it is (takes 1/7 turn of the front wheels slipping to engage IIRC) But when it does engage it saps your power, just like a permanent awd torsen systems used in longitudanally engine mounted VAGs. F/F is one of the best set ups for a small loss and f/4 is one of the worst, so it stands to reason that power drops.

A bit like a fancy traction control really

thats a shame, I guess you dont know what your missing until its gone.

Love them 350z, a real drift car.I would love one but they are a bit expensive

I do miss it quite a bit. The 350Z feels slow compared to a Cupra, until you look at the speedo anyway :whistle:

A Cupra is a lot cheaper to modify aswell & its far easier to get power gains
