A friend of mine is considering moving up to a high performance sports car and is looking to spend about up to £8k on an import. He is looking at the Toyota MR2 Turbo, Mazda RX7 Turbo, Mitsubishi GTO Turbo and Nissan Skyline GTR but I didn't think he would get much for his money or would he? What should he look out for and what are these grades I keep hearing about? Leigh - you do this don't you? ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

Hi, As my Z is stranded at PPS, I started wondering! Does anybody know of a flow chart to help people who have broken down, don't know if a normal one would help, it's just that the z is lot more complicated than the normal car!

Once again Marks amateur mechanic brain has been working overtime! Been on SXOC forum and they talk about catch tanks! I know there was the disreputed breather system used a while ago, but does that not mean we can't use catch tanks!Or does it! Why can't we just vent the fumes to air, like a lot of systems do! If I don't start somewhere, I will never get anywhere! Mark

Ok, so with winter coming up I assume only the brave out there will be driving their Z's in the snow and ice..I know I have enough trouble with my Opel Manta in the wet so for winter its being hidden in my garage. I'll get some 'naff' fiesta or something to see me through the winter months..any way..when my Z arrives it'll make three cars..two of which aren't winter compatible and need storage......but which one will have to stay outside? Help! ------------------ Rik
