My comute to work is a 75mile round trip half over long straight A roads and half over small moorland roads with lots of twisties, bumps'n'hollows and valleys with hair pins and steep hills...cracking good fun!:smash: Previously used SAAB T16s and lately Pug 205gti...the pug I have to say has been a right hoot! Now because of the route and the way it gets ragged everyday its pretty much on its last legs poor thing...tis a great little car! So what to replace it with? Was so impressed with ithe pug have been thinking about getting another but with an Mi16 engine conversion...and perhaps one or two other mods! But something in me says try something different...…

Im in the process of levelling off the garden, I have grass down (but not great condition) and have a few tonne of soil I need to put down to level it off. Do I just spread the soil over the old grass? Can I remove the grass by machine, turn it over so it dies off and put the soil over? Or is it best to remove it and bin it? Once done, will cultivate it, then put some tarpaulin down to supress any weed growth until I can buy some turf. Was hoping to avoid getting rid, as ive had two builders skips ive filled over the past few months and there expensive. Thanks in advance Barry

i have removed my HKS III EBC cause my GTR wont boost over 0.5/0.6 bar i took it apart and cleaned it and it seems to be working now (off the car) i thought i would have a blow down the pipes on the GTR to see if i could hear any leaks. the one which sends pressure to the EBC valve i cant blow down at all. the one that goes to the waste gate i can blow and blow and no pressure builds up at all, the same if i blow down the vaccum tube is this right or have i got a problem

Iam going to get a sti type r its the 2 door coupe, i used to own a p1 the same as the type r but the british version. Only thing is the engine went and a new short block engine was fitted by subaru cardiff at a cost of £4000 a common fault with the p1 big end bearing falure. I dont really know alot about the type r coupe are the engines better are there any common faults with the car can anyone give me some pointers before i pick it up. Still keeping the z though no way iam i selling it theres no point, never get the money back and at the moment there going for penuts id rather let it rot than sell her. Any help on type r would be great.

Why is dealing with the tax man like pulling out teeth? It’s such hard work and so very very awkward! I’m still awaiting a rebate from the last tax year. My previous company, I handed back my company car in lieu of an allowance and non asset tax. For some reason, the tax code wasn’t changed by the accountancy company that my last company used. Which meant, I was on a tax code for an asset I didn’t have. I only really got to the bottom of it after I left them and noticed that my tax code with my new company was the same as my old company, yet I had a company car! I tracked it down to incorrect tax code through my previous job. Now I’m owed about £1000 tax…do you think…

so sorry for AC49er and his thread The end of my zed? nearly crying here so sorry for him:cry:

So i own a Tomm Kaira M30z which i wont part with for the world ...got me a r34 gtr vspec II but IMO the 300zxTT is 100 times more fun to drive !!! Now i got an opportunity t sell the GTR and buy a NSX ..is this a smart move or would i miss the R34???

So i have had a quote to fit a new engine into me zed by Falcon. he said that cos i have replaced just about everything before, except the engine, that i wont need any extras if i bought a long engine from nissan. quote was 7k all in, not bad really. i could then sell the top end which has been completely rebuilt and should be ok. so i just need 7k, anyone? i told the misses the good news, who subsequently needed peeling from the ceiling and told that we will buy the house first and then i will think about it ;) the motor will be seriously sorted out then and i will be seriously broke, i think i have would have spent 20k on that car including buying it, since april!! :eek…

Spoke to Vinz tonight and he's had a rough day :( He had a mini stroke today and had to spend the day in hospital! He's not too bad now, but still ain't great, so everyone post a message about how great he is :D To make him feel better :D:D:D He also says that i can have his car when he pops it and all you vultures can frig off :rofl: Still got a beltin sense of humour, LOL :rofl: Take it easy Vinzzy and look after yourself, give me a jingle anytime! :)
