Tommorow will be the big day(my dad still kicks my ***)
 

So yeah I will be getting my 2009 370 tommorow after a pretty long time of waiting for approval of the loan.

Its a demo model with about 5000 kilometers on it. Full option.

Always drove renault models but that changed after my dad bought a GT-R and I got to have a test drive with a 370.

Delicious it is.

So tommorow i will be posting pictures of it.

But in the maintime il post some pics of my current ride and the GT-R

GT-R black edition(pictures taken by some guy when leaving top gear live in amsterdam)

those rims and tires will go on the 370 when the weather is less snowy.

quite a nice upgrade from the megane no?

Congrats on your Z! Love that Renault, what kind of torque does the diesel put out?

Renault?!
How can you forget about GODZILLA?!
That GTR out shines everything in it's path.
Sweet, congrats on the purchase and post pics tomorrow! :tup:
Your father and you should hit up the track together. :driving:

Niiiice!! I love the roads in Belgium! Super smooth and well maintained. Have a blast! :hello:

I have 4 GTR's sitting outside on my lot, I see them every day. Haven't seen a Renault since I was in the carribean a few years ago!

Congrats! A couple years ago I spent some time driving around Switzerland in a Renault. Nice cars kinda reminded me of a Nissan a little bit.

I doubt the offset of those wheels will fit on the Z correctly. Is the bolt pattern/spacing even the same?

the dealer thinks they should fit so we will see tommorow since im gonna go get some winter tires for it I don't feel like drifting all the time in this weather.

:icon18: our roads are terrible, I mean everything now broke up because of the cold. Holes everywhere

130 HP 300 nm

People can say crap about renault all day. but that thing drove like a beauty.

I must admit the shock will be harsh I never drove anything with more than 130 hp and I always drove fwd

Got the car.

I am enjoying it so hard. I did scare myself I was flooring it but it was just going to 4000 rpm and then switching gears but then I pressed the pedal harder and it clicked and then the revs suddenly jumped to 6000 revs.

Best experience ever. :rofl2:

also I lolled at sliding without using the handbrake. fun times are ahead

pictures.

Too bad its not the 10 version. no highres touchscreen-USB-DVD :shakes head:

Congrats! :tup:

This thing is scary if you come from a 130 HP diesel. I did a 0-60 run.

damn it goes fast.

Are there any things that are advised to mod/change?

yeah don't use the renault wheels even if look killer they won't even be nearly as wide as the z wheels so even if they fit you will lose a TON of grip. The widest FWD wheel i've seen is only 8inches wide the Z wheels are 9 inch front and 10inch rear. The sport wheels that you have are crazy light for stock wheels and the rear will take up to a 295-305 wide tire. as for upgrades pick some swaybars, cold air intake and a cat back exhaust.

The tires on the renault are 255/30/19

It does suck that belgium lacks any decent tuning shops. I mean constantly having to order online sucks and I lack the proper knowledge to properly tune anything

Those wheels/tires on the Renault won't cut it on the Z. You'll be all over the place with those tiny things.

As far as tuning goes... all you need are the proper hand tools and you can do it yourself for the basic bolt ons. No actual "tuning" required.

Uck I paid about 4000 bucks on those tires+rims. what a waste of money.

but it is true. front wide wise they are abit bigger but the back wheels are 285 I think and those are the most important.

damnit this sucks haha

Your best bet would just be to put them up for sale and then call Forged Performance stateside and see if they can get you a badass set of Volks with some big tires. :tup:

But yeah, you definitely don't want those 255s out back... talk about no grip.

Yeaaah, i don't want less grip. last night proved that, sliding like that was scary haha.

And I doubt forged ships worldwide + expensive shipping is expensive

Actually skinny little pizza cutter wheels are what you want on the snow/ice as they don't get what i call the ski effect. It must be hell driving with the sport wheels in winter thats one of the reasons i stored my car until april-may (winter here lasts forever) maybe they have merits as you're winter wheels with like a 235 tire all around.

The car is perfectly fine, I just have to watch out that I don't floor it while turning since then it will try to drift/slide all over the place.

for now I can survive with the normal tires but if it really starts snowing again weeeell i think il take my dad's megane CC with his winter tires

I don't have the usb port since I have the 09 version but Is there a way to place a usb port in it since my music wont even fit on 6 cd haha

an old 40gig ipod and the cable port under the tray in the center console

I do have a ipod nano. and I can wire up the aux but as far as I know you have to use the pod to change songs(well was like that on my megane) and I don't really want to start fiddling with my ipod while driving haha
