Hi in 2000 my Z was painted in de beer Porsche Amethyst by a local sprayer.... In 2002 de beer changed the mix on their microfiche.... We found this out after my painter tried to replace the front bumper after accident damage and thought he was going mad when the paint was different..... He checked and resprayed and again wrong colour mix.... He managed to get the right mix formula and did it...... But now I need it resprayed he can't find his 10 year old diary with paint code in it...... It is metallic and has pearl... de beer are being very unhelpful and nobody seems to have the 2000 de beer microfiche anymore.... Tried colour matching by local company and it …

Can you still get brand new carpets from anywhere, not mats, I have those, I want to change the colour of my carpets from grey to black but want new or really mint ones.

Hi all, it's been ages since I've posted on here. Car has been laid up for a year or so! It has a coolant leak at rear of engine on passenger side (nearside). I've pulled the plenum to do a water bypass but think the leak is coming from further down! Is that where the passenger turbo water feed is? If it is how the hell do you get to the pipe with the engine still in. I can just about squeeze my hand between the rear of the engine and the bulkhead. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Pics would be nice too :). Cheers

As above lost all use of changing gear on clutch, rac man came out and we got it going but it was leaking heavily and was pointless using clutch so drove about 30 miles using revs but finally had to give up and get it recovered, its been sat around for a while would it likely to be slave cylinder? thanks in advance. Its an RPS Max btw....we did manage to pump it up and get some clutch back then it was just going again. Couldnt select gear whilst engine just running but could start it in first and pull away.

Alarm set for 03:00 Thursday 29th August. Up and showered ready for Keith to pick me up at 05:00. From our place we drove to Troon in Scotland to see Lee (JaiKai) and collect my new engine (and a few other bits Lee was kind enough to let me have (cheers buddy, much appreciated). From Lee's place we drove down to Mikey Bean's place, where we collected another engine for Adam (Hollings). After loading the engine into the van, Mikey made us a cuppa, and we had a good natter before we set off once again. We then travelled down to Shrewsbury and left an engine with Lee Dent, had a cuppa with Lee, and again a good chat. Back in the van once again, and Keith…

I swapped my black dummy lenses for crystal ones some time back and ran the sidelight and indicator lamps to the that unit instead of the original, (the long term plan was to get fog lamp units and install them). Anyway, I now want US spec corner units instead. Anyone either managed to get hold of any or modified one you already have to look US? Cheers, Dan

Driving round Olham hospital. Looked nice.

0630 this morning I was at a petrol station in Hartlepool topping up before heading off to see Jeff at Zedworld. I wanted to get a full inspection done, and conZult check. Also oil and filter change whilst he was at it. Was nice to meet Jeff, and even nicer to find out that mechanically the car is pretty damn perfect (goosed AC aside). ConZult showed no problems, and even that it appears the car has a 16 bit ECU and that it has been mapped at some point in the past (I plan to open it sometime and see if it's been socketed and chipped). Had a chat about the gearbox noise, and he confirmed what Paulzx had suggested to me about the gaitors. So when I got ho…
