My company have taken on a new train on the southern region and south London and I am going to join it (which is great news) but its all happening on the 22nd of July so i can no way have the time off as I had already planned. (which is bad news). Still at least I am going to be closer to home for work now. Have a good weekend peeps. :duffer: :duffer:

The other half wants a WRX Who am i to argue with the will of the little woman?! Just wandering if any of you guys have any knowledge of these cars. From what i understand there's the Turbo2000 and WRX and STI. ITurbo2000 is around 200bhp while the WRX and STI's are upwards of 260 with one being a JDM and the other being UK spec...? correct me if i'm wrong. Looks like a lot of crooked traders trying to palm-off tub2000's as WRX/STi. Does anyone know how to tell the difference? :bow:

I just bought a new Toy, and am thinking about cutting my losses on the last Project; it's a SWB. OHH BOY!! Doesn't this sound like fun Now! :xxx: (It was a track car and although has many upgraded bits.. it's had a hard life, I'm told, & does feel pretty darn "loose" on the drive ) I fitted Forged Pistons @ a parts cost of something like £900.. am thus probably into the engine for around £2500 on the rebuild. Now Undecided whether to sell or if the loss is too great.. just hang on to and have it built up to a higher spec and transplant into another SWB at some point. ((( Which means it will most likely Sit in/at a Garage for a long, long time …

posts :dance: i hope i havent bored too many people :duffer:

have a look at this, nice zed, but talk about bigging up a NEARLY stock zed. very clever with the wording he uses to descibe stock/parts u can buy from any of the traders. nice zed though, shame he doesnt show all the CUSTOM PARTS HE TALKS ABOUT. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/THE-ULTIMATE-NISSAN-300ZX-300-ZX-DEMO-CAR_W0QQitemZ180001714311QQihZ008QQcategoryZ18238QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Anyone know out about corsas? heres the prob. Hi all. My g/f's corsa just broke down on her way home from work. She said it started fine , then after about a mile there was a 'rattling noise' and from what shes saying it sounds like it was down on power a bit cas she said the noise stopped after a couple of minutes and the car seemed to pick up. Next thing the noise came back, batterylight came on and there is some smoke and a stong electrical burning smell. She got towed home by the AA. I've had a quick scout under the bonnet and the smell is still there but cant see anything blindingly obvious. What do you think then, i'm kinda suspecting that it mig…

will these fit straight on guys, anyone give me a definite.. 16" wheels so i'm hoping fitment and offset will be the same... they're a bit narrower but the standard 32 wheels are IMHO gorgeous... any help appreciated.. Tony

Have a good one mate :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: ;)

Just an idea, would be nice to see how different 300's compare? could measure reaction time 60ft 1/8th etc etc? just a thought guys Reece

woohoo - may be going :dance: Knackered rim like, bit embarrassing but should be good nonetheless. Half finished interior (Missing red seats) but it looks ok. Just trying to remove rear window tint thats been half done. Need to spit & Polish car. What time do people get there? Shall I come and park at the 300zx stand ?

Had the afternoon free today, so got the Zed out of the garage. More I drive it, the more I realise, people just really don't get how wide the Zed is and when at close quarters passing parked and oncoming traffic which seems to swerve out of the way at the last minute as they see this landcrab coming towards them.

Just want to see if I can upload pics the same as my last forum. This is the engine out of my old Cossy Granada. It's a Chevy 383 (6.3) stroker with a Vortech supercharger. I just bought the s/c as a spare part and made all the brackets and pulleys etc to fit. The plan is to drop this in my newly aquired Z over the coming winter. The injection system was a Holley Commander but I had to sell this to fund the Z purchase, but now I know how to build/map injection stuff I'll probably make my own next time and run it with the Emerald ecu. Engine fits on a Tremec TKO500 box. Ok, try putting the pic in.....[/img]

I thought Chris was back on the 14th but no sign of him yet, Chris where are you hidding?

I found this on a web page that gives people motoring advice : "Driving Tips Car Sickness Different people are susceptible to car sickness in different ways, but the reason for feeling queasy is associated in most cases with motion. A frequent cause of sickness is being unable to associate the feeling of motion with where the car is going, so it often helps if the passenger can see the road ahead - sitting in the front rather than the back can make all the difference. Stuffy conditions can also be a problem, so ensuring good airflow through the car (by opening a window or turning up the climate control) may make passengers feel better. Car sickness …

Removed all the silver sticky add-ons I had (apart from the stereo fascia) Changed wheel to a momo evo 320mm copy. Removing the silver made hell of a difference - looked good with grey - not with red. Just want my red seats now - Red Centre panels, black Bolsters, black Z Logo.

Just found my car has a SARD Sport ex induction filter :rolleyes: Never heard of them, has anyone else
