For helping me swop alot of bits from my 2+2 to my SWB, most of the bling is done, still gotta do a few bits thou, but there easy and i can do them! :D So a BIG thanks to the lads, what turned out to be a 3 hr job and then do peach's De-cat and downpipes ended up in being 7 hrs work on mine and we never got Peach's decats done :( I still cant believe it took that long, LOL, but we (we you) got there in the end. Id also like to thanks My mate Colin for letting us have the use of his buisness (2 poster ramp and air line etc) Baggins and JD for the phonecall's. Piccys will be put up as soon as the wheels are on and the bling is de-finger printed! :D …

I have just fitted a Stillen Induction kit to my car, and wondered what the nominal if any, power increase is. Cheers T :)

Hi peeps, Can anyone help me regarding import duty? I am ordering some parts from the US that cost $129.99 (£68.56), and the 3-5 day tracked shipping costs $165 (£87.04) and I need to work out what other costs will be involved. I have been to the Customs and Excise site, but the .pdf I need won't download. I know some of you guys buy stuff from overseas, so can any of you throw some figures at me? I'd be very grateful :duffer: .

The Mrs Golf has gone off to be sorted so she's got to take me Zed to work in the morning hope the roads are not all iced up. She goes into :shock: When she has to drive the Zed. Don't know why she drives it ok :D

Glad I pulled the engine on the silver 300 was'nt happy with the part rebuild that was done when I bought it (bolts missing, pipes hanging off and taped up) on taking the sump and cam covers off could'nt beleave how much red hermetite was plastered over everything Fooking messers :shock:

Looks like Bernie Eccleston has lost control of FOH (Formula One Holdings) which runs F-1. You reckon we've finally got rid of the poison dwarf, or that he's got something up his sleeve that will strengthen his grip on racing?

Can you help me bud? These two muppets were last seen down you neck of the woods any idea who they are? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ;)

What ur best Z top speed mine is 215kph n/a :mad:

Here's how I wore those Yokohamas out so I could upgrade to a higher speed rated Bridgestones http://www.ree44u.intentio-server.com/images/Braintree-Aug04%20001.avi http://www.ree44u.intentio-server.com/images/Braintree-Aug04%20002.avi This was my taken when I'd only had the car a few nights, decided to go and show the local Chav's who's boss. My Doughnut technique has since improved... ;) I love the sound on the second one, makes me shiver every time. I love the sound of a V6 grrrr And yes, I have since replaced the bulb on the foglight, it was a tinted one... :nono: I've got some more videos of the car, I'll have to post 'em up, got one o…

being that i live 5 mins walk from these guys and hearing good things about them i took my motor there for a turbo timer upgrade on my clifford...after waiting half a day for it, paid the guys, walked round the back and my ariel was still up, AND BENT, didnt even get to the car, walked back and told them and they said they dont touch the ariels....what bolarks, sed well its up, so they went and 'did something to it', went back out there after they sed go and check it now, noone came with me..its still 1/4 sticking up so i bent it about and got it straight eventually. Its so obvious they treid to push it down or something after it didnt go down when the T timer kicks …

What do you guys recon? Was just having a look through 300zxclub.com, and came across this.... Now I'm not puting down Cos's chrome ones, as I like them very much indeed, but thought that with HID lamps fitted, the chrome wouldn't be required.

Fitted the dask kit today - looks rather fetching :) Thanks again mate - well chuffed with it!

Just a quick line to say thanks for sorting the car saturday, and it drives 100 times better than it did and so far no misfiring or trouble starting it in the morning. :mac1: In fact, i think i am actually starting to like my car again :D Cheers m8 :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I guess a Chav will want to know if it's region 1 or 2, though.

Please HELP! where can i buy a set of coil packs for my Z32 TT?? thankyou in advance: Texmyer

I went the whole weekend without putting some insane drunken shite post on the forum!!!! :dance: Mum will be so proud. :D

Carrying on from my earlier post regarding headlamps, I've come across this post through aus300zx.com regarding the headlamp adjusters. It's actually about dis-assembling the headlamp unit, but if you scroll half way down the page you'll see a good idea for fixing your broken adjusters. http://www.aus300zx.com/tech/headlight_disassembly/headlight_disassembly.htm Anyway, HTH

Known for a while that I have to do my best man bit next summer and was only mildly bricking it at this stage. But now another pal has also asked me to be best man in two weeks time :shock: So tell me all your best tips and stories- good or bad- I can take it. Will of course be doing the honour of delivering the groom to the church in double quick zed time, so look out in a couple of weeks for a black zed with white ribbon bombing through Wantage.

:mad: now off to put me frount number plate back on. Grounded out the frount end last night in the mulistory :mad: What a bummer have not looked at the damage yet hope it's not to bad :eek: Not going to park in that one agin :cry:

What do you all reckon? Should I keep my Z or sell it, sell my ZX6R as well and buy a low mileage Elise? I rarely drive at high speeds (where the Z rules), never use my bike anymore, and want something more fun to drive. Much as I love the Z, it's cost me £5k to rebuild the engine, fit new turbos etc and I'm scared of something else major going wrong. What does everyone think? I could get £7-8k for the car & bike together, spend 10k on a 1998 30k miles Elise and aim to keep it for the next few years (i only do about 6k miles a year). Insurance wise, there's not much difference. I can't decide!!! Comfort and high power vs great handling, nippy speed…

Will I get my heater matrix fixed by the end of today??? :confused:

test

Big thanks to Mike at MJP in the traders area. I went to his to get some heater matrix hoses and on the way home my PTU died :( Gave him a call at the side of the road and he came right away with a new one for me. Good price and thanks so much for getting me out of a pickle. Nick. :duffer:

of cars! Why does any job on a car always go tits up and never goes smoothly? Changing the springs / shocls on the car today and I didn't even do one! The lower ball joint pinch bolt that ataches the hub assembly to the lower wishbone was on solid, one of them stupid round bolts with a torque type head in the centre. So I lubed it up (ooo err) heated it up and gave a good tug (steady) to the point where the star shaped shit bolt rounded off. No chance of getting it out, tried from 3pm to 9:30pm and still not off. In the end decided to drill it only to find that I had no hardened drill bits and broke about 7 drills in the process and still couldnt get the ****ING…

What is the BHP of my 92 TT. Mods to date: :hyper: 1.Zed Key Ring 2.Chrome Dust caps X 4 3.Silver Zed Tax Holder. Think it's about 200 BHP but don't know. Bet a quid one of you lot know but who will be the first to post the correct answer ? Christmas card for the winner or a :duffer: when I see you all at the track day next year.
