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! ------------------

There's a run across to Sunderland around 12 o'clock tomorrow.. There'll be a few Zeds at the other end but the highlight will be seeing DaveW's Zed straight off the line - with fresh new bodykit Northern monkey - you are the one I am aiming at with your m8 with the 200 07801735117 is my mob number. C'mon you know you just love drivin cross country Phillyctt etc you know who you are - if you aint got nothing planned for tomorrow then I've got just the way to spend your day Let me know... 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...

I Emailed Taka Kaira Inc. in Japan yesterday with a shipping query about some wheels. Would you adam & eve it? Email back today! Oh and they can ship within 6 days...WHEELS FFS!!! From land of rising sun! 10/10 and maybe a few more UK companies who can't even provide that sort of level of customer service could learn a thing or two about that. Know what I mean? Shipping cost isn't that bad either considering the weight! Nuff respect to our friends in Jap land! Cheers Zedster for the mention about the electronic rear aero. Hmmmmm, maybe! ------------------

Guys/Gals, Probably one of the first things I'm going to change on me Z (hopefully picking it up this week) will be the tyres as they are getting low, I'm looking at the Goodyear F1's as i've had them before and they rock, well grip - does anyone else have any good preferences..?

OK, some peeps with JAP imports purchased these from myself. Are they any better?? Leigh

HI PEEPS, Found out that EUROTHRASH is per car, with a maximum of 2 people per car. This makes it much better value. Is anybody else up for it?? There also prizes for the best times overall for the two tracks plus some of the longer journeys between venues. It would be good to see some more Zs. Leigh

has any body used or got the (hks evc ez )model of boost controller or any advise on them ???? http://www.turboevo.com/boost/hks/hksboost.html [This message has been edited by phillycTT (edited 02-03-2002).]

It`s going up and down like a whore`s draws, is this the temp gauge sensor? or thermostat problem? Answers on a postcard please many thanks Ian.
