Holy smokes! I reckon $30 is borderline for these small mounts. I've ordered a good vent mount. Hopefully its better. I'll do a write up when I get it.

Review Cygnett Magmount 360 I am extremely fussy when it comes to phone mounts. I don't want my phone mounted on the windshield, its either too far away or its in my line of sight, two things I hate. My previous phone mount is the Car Cup Mount by Belkin which is fantastic but my Mazda and Passat have the cup holders down next to the handbrake while my Bora has the cup holders above the stereo. Having to look down next to the handbrake to see Google Maps or change Spotify track is dangerous and when trying to navigate a new place, its a bit stressful. So, while the Belkin is perfect in my Bora I needed something new for the other cars. Enter the Cygnett Magmount 360. As you can see from the site and pictures, this is advertised as either a dash or glass mount. You stick the little chrome ball somewhere and then, using magnets, you stick your phone to it. The magnets are strong and you can either place a thin one inside your phone case or stick one, using double sided tape, to the back of your phone or phone case. In my scenario I stuck it to the back of the case because I didnt want the inside magnet to scratch the back of my phone. As soon as I did this, my wireless charging stopped working. Ok, so I can live with that even if it takes some getting used to (i naturally place my phone on the charging mat at work and dont even think about charging it, now I have to keep remembering to plug it in.) Then it came to mounting the little chrome ball. I was skeptical at first, I know how finicky dashboards are to stick things to (we've all stuck various guages down over the years, we all know how hard this can be.) But I was certain that a product advertised as a sticky dash mount had to work, right? Wrong. What a monumental failure. Nice clean dash, found one of the few flat spots, peeled off the cover and pushed it down for 4 minutes or so. As soon as I released my hand it just dropped off. Now the tape was ruined, so I got my hardcore mounting tape (used for various things around my fish tank, takes a prying screwdriver to remove). Same problem. Both the Mazda dash (hard smooth plastic piece) and Bora dash (softer pleather) refused to hold it. The fact is, the foot of the little ball is just so small that any weight will start to tilt it over. I simply cannot see how this would stick to ANY dash without the use of Super Glue or Sugru. The design is flawed. The little chrome ball is already quite weighty, its a solid metal ball. It can't even hold its own weight, I never even got the change to stick my phone to it as it already failed. If you were sticking this to glass, you may have better luck, but the contact patch is far too small to make it a solid fitting. All in all, a massive waste of $25 (on special at JB). I give this 1 star and strenuously recommend you consider alternatives.

Thats easy, Jag XJ220.

I had to cheat. I would never have picked it. In hindsight it is perfectly a Cosmo as they have always been a little odd looking. The 1970 Mazda Cosmo. What a place! Its massive! I'm so excited to go there! Thanks for the test, @Terry_GT-R34!!!

I'm my own brains trust. Its a bit of a let down at times. So, it looks European. Like an old Lotus or a Fiat. But I can't see you posting a Euro at a time like this. It just doesn't look Japanese to me. The 2000GT looks Japanese. And, with that in mind, I am going to strike out Nissan/Datsun and cringe as I suggest a Honda.

Ok, I got nothing. I even looked at the image file name for hints.

Is that a Toyota? I'm stunned. I'm also very excited about going there now.

Argh! I've lived such a sheltered life!!!

Absolutely love it!!! Just the coolest thing and would have caused a buzz to see this on the road with the racks and pack. Just awesome!

Hey Mandy, welcome to the site. Are you planning to do much to it? Or to learn how to do stuff? Lots of DIY'ers on here that can help.

This sounds great. A "streetable 700HP" sounds like a lot of fun.- 23 replies

Nice! Welcome to the forums!

God I love this 240z I did notice that even after the mentions of it being a 240z, at the end a brief clip of the 1/4 panels shows a 260z badge.
