you have mail m8ty

not to cause a massive debate but i am still looking for the right tt and while searching i have visited this site regularly. i just wondered how much a tt is going to cost to maintain,are they as expensive as the sellers state or are they reasonably acceptable? i realise that arent your regular car so will be fairly expensive.anyone got any idea on maintenance costs and reliability since buying theirs?

I have had a few probs with the Z last couple of days.....anyway to cut a long story (Read the technical section!) took the Z over to Jeff's this afternoon and he located the problem and sorted it with the help of his probe.... Dodgy connection.......should have guessed... One of my injectors wasn't firing and now it is after some removal of corrosion (green and fluffy) and cleaning of the join all seems now to be fine. Cheers Dr. Z.....and his trusty probe...LMAO Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

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

Anybody Knows where I can get a Consult for a 92 model. Any internet address, e-shop?

Now I have got your attention. 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
