I was re-united with my Z today! I wasn't prepared for the spectacle I saw; my first thoughts were- "wow, surely that isn't my car!" Pete (aka LEONARDO) has done an absolutely stunning job on my Z. I strongly urge anyone condsidering getting a kit fitted or having paintwork done, to get on to him, pronto! His website is www.modifiedatpps.co.uk Also a massive thanks for our own Mr Duffman: cheerz for the lift and for putting up with my inane grinning! Pics are to follow..... Dave ps, the stillen gtz-r front is an excellent way of keeping our country clean:- stopping for petrol on the way home I found one of Duffman's fag-butts caught in me mesh!

LOL I've got a proper chain wrench but you try getting that on the fucker! LMFAO Anyway, was gonna go to DaveW's car coming out of LEONARDOS today, got to Llandudno Tesco and washed me motor! Fuck me, oil all over the back end which a jet wash just wasn't gonna get off! Right, so come home, get the car up on axle foleys and I've got a thing(really don't know how to descibe this to you guys) below the turbo on passenger side with a pipe. Anyway, pipe has been fucking masking taped at some point(don't start about SE either) to hold …

OK, Nico is clearly someone who knows his Zeds and, being an administrator, sitteth on the RH of G. And is fond of falling off snowy mountains on unpowered wooden runners with no brakes. But WTF is this about Herdy-Gerdy in his sig? All has been revealed when I read the Grauniad yesterday - it's a Playstation2 game. Apparently, the young folk enjoy putting silvery spinning disks into a piece of electronic trickery then wearing out their eyes and thumbs. H-G is one of these disk thingies. The Grauniad reviewed it and said: "beautifully drawn cartoon world" "extremely satisfying and will appeal to anyone craving something a bit more creative for their…

Right people who are wanting these new dials, now that they have arrived 11 days after I sent them. We have the problem on putting the needle back in the right place. As you can seen there is not a thing that makes the needle only fit one way. The speedo and rev have needle rest, and we may be lucky enough to just be able to set the needle so its on the needle rest. But the fuel and temp just sink all the way. The Turbo and Oil needles dont need taking off. Just a thought Stuart

Cool car chases all way through. Monster American muscle cars but great stuff.

had the insurance renewal through for the old car to day(toyota corolla 16v f reg), bearing in mind I am 22 with three years no claims and three points the bloody quote was £700 fire and theft, jeeezus what a joke!!!! In a week or so I will have my 300 on the road and the insurance has only cost me £1200 fully comp on that, so where is the logic in that then can some one pleese explain? Oh if anybody is insuring soon check out tesco( yes TESCO) they were cheapest by £300!

>Did you get my mail, if so well ? > > & did you have to remove much of the bonnet insulatoin material to fit the vents? cheers harve

I phoned SE today for more tuning work and Pete R the main man answered,he said he will get the quote together and post it next week. ------------------

Like the subject says, do you know the in & outs of what can or cant be done? I have stripped down my G'box and have found the problem just wondered if anyone can tell me stuff I need to know. Jezz.

Got yer message dude man! Ja, give me a call later....large hangover was about right! ------------------

CheerZ, Andy ------------------

I need some new greenies for the front of my Zed. What's the best place and price guyz? Tim

I'm looking at putting in a couple of gauges, boost and either a water or oil temp. First question is which to get water or oil? and second question is how hard are they to fit? A mechanic friend said it's no problem to drill into the sump, just do it before an oil change, so oil will flow out and bring any filings out with it, he also said that there should be a rather large magnet in the sump to catch any loose filings within the engine?????????? With the water sensor, can you just use either of the coolant sensor connecters?? Has anyone fitted either of these? Cheers Vijay [This message has been edited by vijay (edited 02-03-2002).]

Silver with nice wheels and huge exhaust - sounded meaty as hell. Seriously fast and raced me about 40 miles too. Every time I pulled up at the lights in town it came along side me. Until a kid walked past and said "Cool car mate" and ruined the reflection in the shop window...
