People, please tell me it's not just me. If the roof of the car is wet, I get the occasional drip coming through the drivers side seal between the door and roof join. Is this normal... ...And yes my window is closed.

Do anyone know anyone that will do group selling for tyres?

Hi Guys just got a Nissan 300ZX TT Targa G reg 1989 model jap import in blue metalic! for £4000.00 to replace me 2.2vtec prelude! Please don't tell me I payed to much you'll make me cry!!! Its standard all round so the wheels are the standard ZX 16" runnin' 225/50-16"! Now I wanna up the wheels to 17" and run 235 fronts and 255 rears! I've seen it on a H plate ZX. I've been told that the older model ZX has a naff off-set of about 18 so I'd need to space up by about 15mm to get any of the newer wheels! The sort of wheels I was lookin' at were BBS LM but realised they're £400+ each just for the wheels!!!!! So I'm lookin fur somethin' similar at about a quarter …

I have upgraded my emmobiliser to a Cat 1. They installed the Meta alarm and there are a few features that are in the instructions but are not happening on my alarm. Does anyones elses Meta alarm make a noise when you arm it. Mine doesnt, and some times I press the button only to find my car unlocked when I come back. It is supposed to arm its self after about 3 mins but it doesnt, just one of the features the alarm place forgot to set up. Stuart

My avcr display gets very hot. After a couple of hours it is almost too hot to handle. Does anyone else's have this problem, or is there something wrong with mine ? ------------------ UK 92 TT White(ish) Mongoose K&N AVCR KYB Eibach RLTC

Johnny, I tried to call you but the phone is always engaged. you must be busy. I asked you to source shock absorbers for my zed and you told be about the group buy for the full set with springs. Any news on this yet as the handling on mine is crap to say the least as one shock is leaking? Also have you got details of the Zed specialists in Silverstone that you mentioned in an earlier post. Many thanks Simon P. smpass@freenet.co.uk

See youz Guyz! Now that Warren has 'returned' I am no longer needed as the forum's wind up merchant! Been nice arguing with you, but I am off to new forums to spread the Gospel! Never did like Porsches anyway! Yours, PORKER

AS my clock has been playing up (common problem) I decided to pop to my local scrap yard. After searching all the usual rubbish citroens, peugeots, fords etc, an old 'H' reg Toyota Carina caught my eye. Looked in and 'JOY' it had a clock exactly the same size shape and colour, just a different button layout and as a bonous it works too!!!! Best part woz it cost a pricely sum of £4.00 WAAAZZZZZAAAATTTTTT!!!!!! Jon.

I am thinking of selling my TT Z and buying a Non-Turbo Z. I am 21 and I have decided that I have had enough of paying ridiculas insurance on an import TT. Is there a big difference in insurance between the TT and Non Turbo version? What about reliability? Which out of the two has less problems?

Hi, for a UK speck car with standard wheels... and S03 tyres... what is the proper tyre pressure?... THanks

Lads There are a couple of us getting together at the Broadway pub at Derby on Sunday. Anyone else wanna join us?

Hi all, After all the time I owned my Z, I have never had the opportunity to try its top speed.....until last night !! I started at 70mph and then blasted it....I backed off at 140mph because basically I don't want to die yet. Anyway, what suprised me most was not that it was going that fast, but the stability of the beast at such a high speed. It was rock solid...no shaking at all. Amazing ! Also, I noticed that at about 110mph, something like extra happens to the engine and the speed just rockets up even more. It's like there's a third turbo or something !! What do you guys think ? What has your top speed been in a Z....on a race track of course ? A.
