Hi Folks, I've just edited my rides section in my profile and have added pics of my swb flared arch z32 tt. Gonna b pickin it up on the weekend hopefully, - cant wait!. Its been almost a year! - but deff well worth it i reckon. B nice 2 hear ur views on it peeps. The colour shots are poorer quility pics so cannot appreciate the chromaflare + the fact that the rims have gone 4 refurbishment. Looks alot nicer in reality. Flips from green to light green to blue to purple to muove + a bit of silver too. Will put sum new pics up of the finished project very soon............. Av' a good 1 guyz..............

I'm sure the Zs are especially desisgned to keep you on your toes. This morning on the way to work, was just slowing to a stop in a row of traffic on a bit of a downhill when without any warning and in a quite sneekely fashion, my Z cut out on me. I only noticed when the dashboard turned in to the the Blackpool illuminations and the brake pedal turned in to a lead brick. Straight away I envisaged "£" signs but I started her back up and she was ok again. Whats all that about? Pheewwwww!

Hiya All, I've just uploaded some pic's of my Z before and during restoration. Just thought you might like to see them, they were certainly eye opening for me when I first saw them, check out the bonnet picture, it had 28, yes 28 dint in the bloody thing. Should have bought a new bonnet!! Regards John

Hi guys, Please excuse me if there is any misspelling in this post, cause it's my birthday and I'm drunk . Anyway, because I was drunk tonight, two of my friends drove my car (one to drive me in to town and another to drive me back out.) And both said the same thing..that the Z is very sluggish and not even remotely close to its usual performance levels. Both of them said that their cars were more responsive and quicker (and one of them drives a peugot 306!) I have had the CAS timing checked, and it reads 15. BTC, the fuel filter has been replaced, and I have reset the ECU, but all to no avail. Please guys can you help me out, I really am at my wits end. …

Hi guys Thanks for all your help & advice today. Sure I'll be taking the offers up along the way! Resigned to the insurance, nothing I can do, so I'll just look forward to picking it up at the weekend and enjoy the drive down from Scotland - good tester. Andy, I think for peace of mind I need the full monty, cam belt, filters, watwer pump, oil change and locate this damn oil leak. If its expensive I will be crying out for help, the insurance premium has eaten into our maintenance allowance! Hiteq suggested - sound okay to you? Your right Andy I am not far away at all - arent I the lucky one!!! Looked at you events pics, looks fun, whats the …

Or maybe not so sweet. I know that this has been talked about before but frankly I can't be arse to search for the old threads seeing as we are producing atleast a whole screen of up to date threads per day. However......I have become concious of the car vibrating when I near speeds of 70 and above. My initial thoughts were that it could be the centre prop bearing but Jeff TT tells me that it could be the gearbox mounting bush(I think thats what he said - sorry memory like a siv' sorry Jeff). I will be doing a test tomorrow to see if the vibration remains with a slip it in to neutral. Has anyone else had these symptoms and if so, how did you resol…

My Bro had been telling me to try Elephant for ages, so due to Diane having a right mare getting a decent quote I tried and not bad! I did try for an import first but that meant ringing them, so I went back and changed everything to be my car. I've recently quoted and started paying 893 squid with protected NCB etc. But that was 6K miles a year so limited mileage policy and I've only got a couple of years NCB anyway.

We pick up our new 1990 TT Manual on Friday/Saturday and if there is anyone out there who can hook us up with a local member for a bit of reassurance we would be very grateful! Live in Westhoughton, near Bolton. Di

Help! I've reset the monitor on my very old PC laptop to a resolution that it can't display, the result is that when it boots up it goes through all the load procedure then just displays green and yellow horizontal lines. How can I reset this? I can't do anything with it at present. I'm a complete idiot/dunce with PCs, I use a Mac (please don't hold that against me). Please explain any procedure in words of one cylabul - ta! If anyone can also send/email me a boot disk that would run on an old 386 I'd be grateful. Thanks guyz Tim
