Andy, Neil, I saw your replies to Nelson's post about the exhaust wrap. I am getting a new Mongoose this week and if: 1. It was worth wrapping the exhaust. If so I assume it is just the front section, closest to the engine. 2. Is it worth doing the turbos and can they be done on the car? Neil you mentioned just the sides closeest to the exhaust? Andy, did you take the photos of yours? Doing the clutch at the same time (well the garage is not me )is there anything else I should consider while he is under there ? Appreciate any advice. Ta, David

Does anyone know where I can get a new center support bearing without paying the ripoff price that nissan wants for the whole kit? Cheers. ben. ------------------ 'I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather and not like his passengers....'

Has anyone who did this looked at the charts they give you and noticed that it starts from between 5/10mph? They weren't getting people up to the line properly and some cars crossed the timing line at the start already doing 5-10mph. So what most people have is actually a 5-10ish - 60mph time, not a true 0-60. Waste of £7 a go if it isn't accurate. ------------------ Z first and anything else is secondary!

When out driving in the rain the other day, I noticed that there was a damp patch on the driver door arm rest. I traced the the trickle of water and it seemed to be coming from behind the trim at the top of the seatbelt. The window and roof rubbers all seem to be in good condition and there are no splits or cracks. Any ideas of where the water could be getting in?

Well at last the day arrived for me to collect the RX7 from Southampton. What a shit day to collect it, pissed down the whole time, so all I can say is it feels real quick. The engine in these are so smooth, and the gearbox is real sweet. The car sounds awesome. Car has HKS EVC Boost controller, not touching it assume it sets correctly, and leave well alone. Blitz turbo timer, HKS boost gauge, and shift light controller. The interior is immaculate, and the seats look like new.

Help, my 300zx won't start. Last night because I've been having overfuelling and cat overheating problems I pulled the connector blocks off the PTU to check for corrosion etc. They were that loose they practically came off in my hand!! I cleaned them and game them a squirt of WD40 and pushed them back on properly and now the bloody car won't start!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am already late for work. Cheers, Tim.
