just had remewal quote from firebond, last years premium was £299 this year £737 what p price hike a,i dont know i should have bought a UKcar, anyway Bell direct sorted me out £583 including me 18 inch wheels, not bad i suppose. 30 with full no claims. so beware when renewal is up there is no way round it, if there is let me know i have untill wednesday to change. Jeff is yours up yet also tony i know you have the same policy.

I've just purchased on of lukes scarab front bumpers and just needed to know if anyone else had one, i want to know how they are fitted to the car do you need a mounting bracket of any sort or is it just drill the bumper and fix to where you can? or do you use the parts from the original bumper? also i cant see how the lights fix in, nothing to bolt them to. cheers "Tony".........

Andy mate, Got back last night and checked my Blitz zorst box...all gasketts and nuts and bolts and instructions etc. Hey mate, it's a Blitz FFS! Quality is to be expected and admired! LMFAO Buy you an extra can of Stella if you can fit my induction kit aswell! I took the headlamp panel off this afternoon with a mother goose hangover, sleep depravation was also making things worse as I was chatting to the main man(Macca) at about...oh 6am this morning. Dropped a socket but retrieved it from the protection tray! Looked at the air box, looked at the induction kit and just decided not to bother at all. Put it back together and buggered off back…

HeHe, just taking In Car Entertainment to the next level. I`ll post some more pics when it`s all done.

I need brighter bulbs in the rear lights and bought some 32W/4W bulbs today. I need to change them from 2 pins on the bottom to just one. If I solder the two pins/filaments together what wattage will they become? This is the easiest way to get them to fit. Do I need to just use the 32W filament on it's own? The standard bulb is 21W but couldn't find any single filament bulbs of higher wattage and can't remember my ohms law!

I think I need a new one soon so im gonna send to the states for one and a lightened flywheel but after looking on TT net for recomendations there is lots of different opinions as usual, act rps and jwt seem popular. I want something that will hold if I go for bigger turbos/injectors in the future. I dont want something horrible to drive with or something that will eat the flywheel. Have any of you lot bought a good clutch recently. Oh and dont start on about triple plate HKS or anythin else stupid. I aint payin well over £1000 for a clutch Paul

Mail me your address to burnproof@turboz.co.uk and Ill post you the Z32 FAST (part number guide) and Service Manual on CDR. ------------------ Glen :)

I'm confused about the minimum "on-spec" compression pressure for a UK spec TT. PAge EF & EC-70 of my UK workshop manual say 142 psi whereas postings elsewhere say 127 psi.

Check out tech forum lads Re: SHREK/ZX and his timing belt saga, please give a genuine reply to the end to illustrate the point about service and quality if you would be so kind. Jeff TT (Pi??ed off)

Got some spray tint today to black out the rear lights and it says to give 2 or 3 coats... I had to do about 10 coats and ran out on the first light! Paid 11 quid for a shitty little can and now the Z looks like someones punched it up the arse! Just hope I can get another can tomorrow or i'll look like a tit all week.
