Yes it is on 350Z-UK .
I am in Ford West Sussex but work in Billingshurst so may see you about .
The Whiteline front and rear ARB and heavy duty drop links were one of the best things I have done to the car .
I did get the banana arms done as the same time as well but the turn in and steering is so much more crisp and the car is very flat through turns now .

A few more updates over the weekend I got done .
First up was to clean then condition the leather seats .
Then was the boot counter weight removal ( boot does not pop up all the time due to this weight )
Then last up was to re adjust the aux and air con belts as there was a little slack and squeaking on start up .

Had a busy long weekend and got a few more bits done .
On Friday i went up to Abbey Motorsport for a Milltek Exhaust to be fitted and check the tune on the dyno for the uprev .
Old stock system
The back box pipe had been patched up one already .
New Milltek fitted
Then the Dyno sheet that I was not expecting .
All done on the Hub Dyno so add 35 - 40 BHP /LF/FT to the fig for Flywheel fig .
+ 9 BHP ad + 7.7 LB/FT from last time and the only changes were the Milltek exhaust and Stillen induction ( last map in Blue HFC , K & N Typhoon , HFC , P/spacer , Uprev )
The car started out in November at 225.6 BHP and 217.7 LB/FT
And is now 252.7 BHP and 238.3 LB/FT so that's a + 27.1 BHP and + 20.6 LB/FT gain .
Then on to fitting this little lot
First up a grounding / Earth kit that I made up ( X 10 ) and cleaning the original earths .
Then on to the clutch fluid flush / change and S/S clutch pipe .
Old clutch fluid not looking so good .
New ATE clutch fluid
Old cutch pipe .
New one
I had some DEI gold heat reflect tape left over so wrapped this around .
And fitted with some protection heat wrap .
Only problem was I had no cutch pressure so had to prime the cutch slave to get the pedal back then bleed the system .
