Where can I buy these... After doing my oil change over the weekend and getting my hands covered in shitty oil...then spending the rest of this week scraping the black shite from under my finger nails!!! I thought it best to invest in some kinky rubber sugical gloves that some of you guys use. Where do you buy them from??? P.S. not really for working on the car, "Come here Mrs Turbo...now just bend over you won't feel a thing!!!" ROFL ------------------

Game is called 'Wheel of Bullshit' and basically what we do is have a set number of players...say 5 or 10 of us to start it off. We list a bunch of known suppliers that we use for our cars and chuck in a fiver each. Each person picks out the supplier they honestly think won't get back in touch with them and then the game begins. We all have to ring the supplier we've chosen and try to get quotes/prices for a number of items for our motors. Can be body kit parts, mechanical tuning parts etc. etc. You can initiate your game any way you like, email, fax, phone call etc. If your supplier lets you down big time and gets in contact you're already losing poin…

Just had a little tear up with one of my mates from work. His is a Supra MK4 running 450 bhp, and there is me with my meagre 340 bhp, let me tell you his car his fappin fast!!! going to do the mad mile shortly to compare the performance difference. I've come to one conclusion I want 450 bhp!!!! now. Took me in his car and its the fastest thing I've been in, and I've been in some quick motors Porches,Ferraris etc. I didn't realise what an extra 110 bhp wouold make such a huge difference. What injectors and turbos would I need to run 500??? I feel the need, the need for speed!

Hi all, I'm having my regular engine oil service done by a friend, but need to know which engine oil does everyone recommend ? Is Mobile 1 oil best ? Is Semi-Synthetic or Fully-Synthetic oil recommended ? Where can I purchase the oil at a good price(on the internet if possible) ? Any help appreciated ! A.

Had a bit of a scare yesterday - after half hour a cruising the car suddenly started to run rough - real ruff as if it was missing. After a quick chat with the Duff Meister I did a beit of investigation and found a dodgy connector to one of the coils. Iam I right in thinking that to replace the wiring to the coil its a case of replacing the whole loom? After a bit of playing around the car is now running the way it should - but could realy do with it not happening again. Mark

Sorry to disappoint you but I am only after a head for ZX, not sure which side yet.Anybody got a good one up for sale or know or somewhere reputable that can sell me one, also where is the cheapest place to get a head gasket set? If there are any non male members interested in supplying the other type also forward your supplies!!!! Cheers Mark H

Evening fella's! Just a quicky tonight for all you lads with Techtoms attached to their Zeds. Is the device capable of monitoring ignition timing changes whilst driving along? Reason I ask is that I am under the impression that my ECU (for one reason or another) significantly retards the timing when hot and running at cruising speed (i.e., 50-70mph). Cheers, Danny

Can one of you techies let me know how I could make a video CD from a VHS cassette or from a DVD (which would not be a commercial DVD obviously). What gear would I need and how much time do you get recorded on one ? Thanks Dave

prices so far seem reasonable at £189.50+vat per pint don't ask why pints thats how it is i would say 4 pints to do a car maybe 5 bearing in mind it will be thinned 3to1 but still cheaper than original £600 per litre price colours are purple green gold same as tvr tuscan and the gold orange flip found on some nissan micras i dont know of any other but i'll try to find out hope this is of interest to some one cheers mark

Guys, Had a lot of heartache with my ptu over the last 6 weeks or so, what with mechanics & begging lifts to work,took the advice of you lot & bought a upgrade PTU from Curtesy.Took under a week to come & 20 minutes to fit $223.00 = £156.00 including air costs & it,s all fantastic. As someone said to me "KEEP THE FAITH" these cars are worth all the bother when those TT's kick in Ken

Hello from France, Here there is only 180 TT and nobody can help me; I would like to get more infos about the Mangoose exhaust: -HP? -sond? -look? -price? Thank you very much for answering

Hi, Ever since I've owned my Z I've got vibration at different speeds that I've always put down to the drive shaft bearing. Recently it's got worse and is starting to bug me. How much should it cost to sort this out? Is it a job a normal mechanic can do? Cheers, Andy
