Whats the score with the top link mod and is it supposed to stop the Z from destroying the inside edge of the front tyres? Paul

Well ive gone away for 4 days and when I returned they have built an entire McDonalds in what used to be an old car park a few hundred yards away. This could be way too handy. Without self controll I could end up being the lardiest lad in Z land and have to have a bench seat fitted in the front. My record is Chicken sandwich, 9 nuggets, large fries, Mc flurry and large milkshake in one sitting. Beat that Junk food fans! Paul

It would appear that the aforementioned "Speccy Twats" on the M6 between Knutsford services and Holmes Chapel have been removed? Could this be the effectiveness of Tooley & co? Or, are they indeed the new ones i have seen being erected between J9 and Burtonwood Services on the M62 Warrington? Where the roadworks are taking place for new junction 9a. They are not yet in service, i will post when then are. Can you imagine the amount of pressure the guys who install them are under to get them up and running? LASH! "Come on you fu*king lazy bas*tards, LASH! we`re losing fortune here, LASH! Get them Speccy Twats on l…

i know this probably sounds stupid but is there a regulation dress code for trax ie, do you have to wear long pants and long sleeved shirts? When you go on the Kylami gp circuit, they have rules stipulating that you have to wear certain clothes....

Hi Guys, I posted these up a while back as I originally wanted to do a swap for a set of stock wheels and good rubber but had little response. (And those who showed interest didn't get back to me, namely Harve and Warren LOL!!) There used but in really good nick and no there not of the adjustable type. I'm not sure what make the springs are "RS" is printed on them and they lower the car about an inch. Come on boys make me a reasonable offer! ALso it would help if your in London. George (and bros Tony).

Why is is that some links people post within the forum spawn new windows and others launch within the frame ?

At long last and after much effort i am in a postion to sell Boost/intercooler hard pipe kits. Anyone who has got or seen the HKS kit that goes for around $350.00 will know it is not all that pretty, due to horrible weld joints, is expensive and you must buy all 4 pipes, well i'm offering the following for £210.00 plus a fiver postage. Polished stainless steel pipes, mandrel bent, all visible weld joints ground and polished out, purge (?) welded inside for good balance of air flow. Coloured Silicone hose sleeves and reducers in your choice, unfortunately no clips as yet, can't find a good supplier.This kit can be tailored to your needs, cant afford the whole lot, buy 2 …

I'm trying to remove the 2 coolant hoses that go into the bulkhead so that I can fit a bypass pipe. However the hoses must be 11 years old and are rock solid when cold and still dont budge when hot! There is not much room to get a good grip on the pipe and I dont really want to cut them(although its going that way). Any tips on removing these hoses? I've got a quote from Darren at Ancaster for replacing the heater matrix: £833. But as I've just got the Z back from SE and paid £3 short of of a grand I'm a bit skint, hence fitting the bypass pipe which Darren said should be okay Any help would be appreciated as I'm rapidly getting fed up with Z ownership at the moment…
