Has anyone out there ever had this, or know what it might be? While driving home yesterday both me and the misses had several drops of water drip onto our feet(not a huge amount but enough to get me worried), that seemed to be coming from somewhere near the air vents (left foot drivers side and right foot passengers side). It happened after having been driving for about 2 hours with the aircon on and in fairly heavy traffic and the engine temperature was totally fine if that helps. Question. Is it just internal condensation building up and then driping out and maybe the feeder pipes need cleaning out or re-insulating (if they are insulated in the fi…

No, I’m not going to swap the 300 for a GT4, that would be silly, but a friend of mine is looking to buy a Toyota Celica GT4 (ST205). Does anyone know of any guides of what to look for when buying 2nd hand etc, or even any experiences of ownership? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I know it's a bit late but a big hello to everyone I met at Billing on the Saturday, it was 'Mighty' Mike

Managed to get hold of a new passenger door shell after the thieving toe-rags peeled a hole in mine. I've now got to swap everything over, window, motor, locking mechanism etc. and refit the new door. Has anyone done this before? Any help would be much appreciated. I've taken the 'how to remove door trim and window motor' FAQ from AndyP's tech links, but any other help would be appreciated.

Pulled up at a toll boothe this morning, looked in the RVM as I pulled away only to see lots of black smoke from behind (once I was moving though it did go). Have read about this before but can't remember what could cause it. Its fine when warm and has never 'smoked' like that before. It does not smoke when first starting from cold either. I did boot it a bit from out of a junction (to about 3500rpm) when still cold (naughty boy!) before I noticed the smoke but that was it. Whats the damage then?.

Saw this link on the Oz Forum and it is a daily (now on day 2) update - Pics on upgrading the bodywork on a Z. Looks a good interesting link that Kostas is providing. http://www.apex.net.au/~kostas/bodykit/ ((Yeh, I know - I can't walk straight past a building site either!))

been looking at 300's on auction from japan, there seems to be different codes for different models: CZ32 GCZ32 GZ32 Z32 does anyone know what the differences in the codes? maybe engine codes? i didnt realise there were so many cheers tim

Right whatever you want to do with them,then do it all via mail to eachother,talk of hire,while I am away on holiday and they can't blame me etc,is a little silly on a public forum IMHO. Yes these F*kers want nailing to trees by their heads,but this stuff is serious guys when everyone can see your plans Trust me!

First spotted yesterday, following me off the A31 - saw it again today exiting Guildford. It's a blue import (G reg) - just like mine!! Anyone here?

Dammit Zed!! Well I fitted the series 2 PTU I got from Courtesy a month ago - and today stuck in traffic on the M25(quite hot day) she stumbled, then lost power, wouldnt rev then died! (misses was not happy) Like my old PTU problem I waited 30 mins for everything to cool down, restarted and we were off again! What other components could be affected by heat to cause this cut out? Fuel related(as there was a strong smell of petrol when the car was running)? Thanks lads, Trev

brand new takes 52mm/2" gauges 60 squids Email timmy_turbo@yahoo.co.uk Going to Trax on Sunday so if you want it I can bring it down with me. ------------------ "I think we should take Iraq and Iran and combine them into one country and call it Irate.

While I was stuck in traffic 2 weeks ago while on holiday, my 300 overheated. With my 300 now at SE, they have quoted me £2500 to repair the engine, as the heat of the water has ucked the cylinder head or something, and I need to know how reasonable this quote is, or if there is someelse in Essex able to do this work. ( I choose SE as I live in Maldon anyway, and they do know 300's) Cheers to anyone who can help.
