On my way home after work tonight with 5 (yes 5 don't know how I did it)people in the Z excluding myself on the motorway at 3a.m when a red celica GT4 pulls up behind me flashing his lights (no need as I was in the slow lane) he pulled out to overtake, and I nailed it as he was alongside. My Z is currently running in safety boost due to a faulty detonation sensor and despite this, and with 6 people on board, it STILL kicked the GT4s ass! it was close up to about 90, with the GT4 about 4 car lengths behind, but above 90, the Z just sailed ahead, and all the while it was only boosting to 6 p.s.i!.

I no longer need my breather kit, so it's for sale with fitting instructions and is part assembled already, not the sexiest thing, but it could work for yer and was on car for around 6months, so if you missed out on the group buy, it's £50.00 posted. smithy

Evening all, Seeing a good percentage of you are in IT, I have an IT question: Where in your opinion, would be the best place to register a forwarding domainname, to point to my btinternet account?? Thanks in advance ------------------ Simon

Am at work, went for a fag break and took a colleague out in the zed, just warmed it up and gave him a blast a couple of junctions down the M4 and back. Got back to work and he's shaking like leaf! wicked fun

Get Kazaa or Morpheus. Install. Run a search for this in Audio: Kevin Bloody Wilson - Amazing Grass Kevin Bloody Wilson - Livin next door to Alan I guarantee it'll put a fookin great smile on ya face !! ------------------ Glen :)

Warren my friend, I can't believe you are asking about VAT on this Forum! We need to talk. M8, I want to read stuff about Zeds, not be reminded about how HM Customs & Excise give me a good shafting every 3 months. Shit, you might as well bring up income tax and IR35! Laterz Andy

Right can I just put something over here! Coz I'm fucked off with this now! When you guys organise these prices and fantastic deals with whoever etc. Is there any fuckin' possibility that you can get the suppliers to commit to a supply date??? When I'm told that my BlitZ springs will be with me 1st week in November I expect that to happen. Not fucking 2nd week in December! Especially when I send a cheque out in September or October??? WTF? I know it's not Johnnies fault and that some of this gear is hard to come by etc. So if that's the case maybe you lot that organise the GB's can wait for the money until you actually are in a position to deliver said…

The galant broke down just me dad called me, thats the normal family car. So do you know what this means.. The Zed is the only car left! The clutch was well dodgy so i reckon its that thats gone which means it wont be working again for at least a week. edit- i forgot to mention tht that makes me happy! But the downside is he might get my nans awful 306 again on his way home I hope he doesnt Also another thought has come into my head, we r picking my nan up tomorrow which may mean going up in the Zed and swapping i for the 306 for however long which would be BAD as the Zed would be gone for god knows how long which would make me sad [This…

what more can one say..........

ok, ive emptied the radiator out - there's was loadsa orangey shit in it. then ive put loads a normal water through it and filled it up with normal water with the plug in, so i can then flush it all out again b4 i put the coolent in. i was wondering A) how to i know how much to put in , is it 5.5 litres or something. i have filled it up with normal water, and it kinda fills up and then drains through a bit more, so i put more in, then it fills up to the cap, then it drains in a bit more. how do i know when its full? B) ive taken the off side wheel off and the cover so i can see the expansion tank, except i cant tell if there is any water in there atall, i just …

Anyone here heard of Toyo tyres? I never hear them talked about on the OZ or UK forums but they are popular in NZ. I have Toyo T1-S tyres 225/50/16 all around. Noticed one of the cars in The Fast And The Furious Was running Toyo's

Noticed all the nice pics of your cars in the rides section. My 91 NA Z is losing paint fast off the lower front spoiler, from low drive way scraping to stone chips, how do you guys keep you Z fronts so fine? Also my Z is aztec red, and I have noticed that as the paint chips and flakes from the front spoiler underneath is yellow! why is this, anyone else the same?

Can a company charge you VAT if they cant give you a VAT reciept????? Cause way to often i get charged VAT on what i buy through people on the forum. (lets call a spade a spade)Only to ask for a vat reciept and they cant supply me one??? Is that not fraud???? or something to the likes. Please explain.

Evening all, I've just seen a Zed that had a very different ventilation system to mine. With my system you can't tell the climate control through which ducts the air should come out, i.e., top, middle or along the footwell. The one I've just seen has a similar display unit but with the addition that by pressing the "high speed fan" button it allows you to determine which vents to use. I'm now wondering whether it is as simple as getting a second hand control assembly (seen loads at breakers) or whether the two systems are incompatible. Incedentally, the car was a UK spec J-reg. Any thoughts? Cheers Danny PS - I know this is a crap description bu…

Any ideas, received a summons for not having tax on my last car - was about 6 weeks out of date. This happened in July as I was moving house and the first thing I have heard about it is a letter telling me to be in court in February and that the max fine is £1000 Has anyone managed to squirm their way out of this one or are you all good boys and girls..... for good, read sensible, cheaper to buy it than pay the fines ! A very sad person who would rather spend the money on go fast goodies

i managed to fix the car - i sprayed some electrical cleaner on the injector socket fot the failing cylinder ....and, hey presto the car is purring like ,.....well, like a ferrari type deal. i think that an occasional dribble of petrol from the fuel line above the injector has corroded the conncetions! i cant believe the POWER its mad. i cam out of a junction in my village , put the pedal down about half way, and the back end just went shooting past me, when i finished shitting my kecks, i realised i need to do some serious 'steering in' to stop myself hitting the central reservation thingy. it was almost a case of ' 2months in the garage, 2mins on the road and back…

Ok weird one, Has anyone travelled on the stretch of the A1 at Peterborough? It goes from a 2 lane mickey-mouse bendy twot of a road into a lurrvlee 4 lane highway, and I think no Gatso (if it has like Andy in the other thread im going to jail!) I usually blow the coke out of the Zed up this stretch of road and noticed a surreal thing: There are gantries over the road every half mile or so, and these things are not usually illuminated with anything at all, I floor the car upto 140mph-odd and a very, very spooky red cross "X" appears above on the next gantry in my lane only (there are four dot-matrixy signs above each lane) - I slow down to about 100mph and the nex…
