Had loads of fun trying to get under the zed at the weekend. No trolley jack so had to use ramps. But there was no way she was going up them without grinding. So had to do a quick whizz round the neighbours collecting various chunks of wood to build up the gradient. Hoping to be a 10 minute job doing the oil and filter, could not shift the dam filter. Had one of them naff halfords chain wrench. Still she's all done now, about 2000 miles overdue! Done me last 2 plugs as well- not as bad a job as I thought. Good feeling having done the work myself. Centre prop bearing next- beware, will be calling one of you guys if it goes pear shaped!

Right, what is going on? It has come to my attention that Mark Hanley has stepped down from his post as Club Sec and to be honest I am not impressed about this. Mark has IMHO done a cracking job while he's been doing this role for this forum. Can I also point out that also IMO there are some absolute free loaders doing a good impression of members of European Parliament in power on this forum. Like for instance AndrewG, when was the last time he posted on this forum, where is his input? How did he get to where he is now as a member of the head honchos of this board? P1ssed off with this, not gonna bleat on about being a share holder so you can can…

PIX to see the rest check out richards pages at http://www.ice-works.com in the gallery section.. Cheers Thanx Rich - enjoy

Found a few zed vids while trawling the net: http://www.yadamnfool.com/Z_Commercials2.htm Loads here. :D But this has to be my favorite of the lot: http://www.yadamnfool.com/media/Z32_4L.mpeg (10MB, but worth the wait)

I have a question for you all, i bumped into a Z owner in reading who was quite rude :slap: and wasn't interested in the club :nono: . all i did was ask him if he was in it as it was a Z. So my question to you all is if he spent £40K on his Z what sort of BHP do you think it would be pushing?

For a while now I've been kicking around the idea of digging a pit in my garage and after spending today clearing out all the junk, I've now got plenty of room for one, plus work benches...I can finally move in there now! Did a search on Google for any DIY guides but didn't turn up much except for an obscure American archived thread. They mentioned you might need permission from the local authority, and suggested a few things: "Lining the walls with concrete block, covered in a concrete and fiberglass mix that will bond them as strong as concrete." "Depending on your water table, you might need to dig extra deep and make a french drain with gravel under a duck-b…

Just a quick random post to say I drove Leigh's (friday's) beloved Zed for the first time today and I'm soooooo happy! :dance: Been trying to persuade him for ages and today he finally crumbled (after a bit of persuasion....;) :D). Thats it really, just wanted to share! :hyper: p.s.....I WANT ONE!!!! Lucie.

Was looking to get some water wetter, saw the price in the UK redline website £19.98 Then saw the exact same thing on a US website for $8.49 :mac1: That's £4.65 AFTER profit margin. Thats a 430% markup :mad: [sarcasm] Hmmm import tax must be really high or maybe they should stop shipping it in on private jets - per bottle [/sarcasm]

I don't believe it. Well done to them :hyper:

What A serve, what a back hand, what a forehand, What a moover. WHAT AN ASS and thoes legs would look great as a scarf :x:

second retrim in as many months this one went a bit better only took the afternoon to do this .Also found some clear defuser in the garage will cut it up into strip and bring into Billing for anybody thinking of doing the clear back Indicators

We are in the final :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: So anyone going there i'm trying to find a ticket?

Really addictive, yet bloody annoying http://www.albartus.com/motas/

Had a bit of an ususual siteing last night on the Formby bypass. Was waiting at the lights by Tescos and what comes flying past at atleast 130mph but a V6 Vauxhall Cavelear (spelling). Bearing in mind the lights were on red and cars crossing the junction this vauxhall just flew past followed very closely by a police van. It was a hell of a site. Quite frightening to watch as he flew past me in the next lane just missing cars which where crossing the junction. Im guessing the car was nicked but what a :xxx: . If he would have hit another car then its byebye everyone at the speed he was going. Just wandering if anyone else round here heard about this …

But it's not nearly as interesting as playing with cars and you don't want to see the pictures !

Why else would they? LOL:D

How about some of these for sale in the club marquee? Also available membership packs for new members. We could use club funds to buy them and then put the money back when they are sold?

Thought I'd post some pics up. I've not done the doors or the rear quarters yet and I still need to get my gators made for the gear shift and hand brake.

I have to say that mine is my McChulloch TM-210 petrol strimmer, that MO FO rocks and takes out anything in its path! ;) Do love me Mountfield mower aswell though, self propelled with its 4hp Honda motor...does the biz everytime. :)

1500, catching you up MACCA!!

Just browsing through my favourates and found this horrible Zed. Who would do such a thing? http://www.300zx.lv/gallery/?g=rimantas For the lazy people: :xxx: What a waste :( :mad:
