Having a drink in the Grapes this afternoon parked almost next to a 280z?

Following on from sorting my boost leaks etc on Thursday I went back to Lee Dents place today and changed the plugs,oil and filter and the fuel filter and Lee re-wired my rear lights and run me through ditching my egr pipes and aav (think thats right) pipes and re-plumbed the boost controller pipes as they were like spaghetti!!!. The end result is now my engine bay looks tidier and shes now running even sweeter Turns out shes also got custom downpipes fitted, as well as the rest of the system, so happy days Thanks again to Lee, cheers mate :)

after haveing replaced my brake pads a couple of months ago i bedded them all in and from cold they work fine but when you are giveing it some they seem to go a bit vhage they dont really feal as if they are stopping you as much as you would like i think i had ferrodo pads on before and they were great but when i was buying these i was on the understanding that the yellowstuff pads would work even better does any body have any ideas as to why they seem to be doing these

Ok so this has been done a billion times, but screw it, the last few days I've heard some good ones, so here's my latest: 1. Look mum, a ferrari! 2. That looks just like Knight Rider! 3. How do you get it to make that "ptsch" noise? 4. Your cars are both awesome mate! (little 5/6 year old who sees both cars regularly when dropping Michael off) Kids adore it and are quite open about the fact, but the truth is, the adults lust after it, when we're working on one car or another here, the garage faces onto this little side road and people are forever walking up and down it, the guys all slow down and look the cars way :D

Ok so yesterday I fitted some replacement standard shocks with lowered springs that I bought off Kinugawa Turbo (Cheers dude, turned up real quick :D). They have dropped the car back down to the height it was when I bought it, before I fitted the nackered set of Teins I bought earlier in the year which were fully extended height wise and made the car REALLY unbalanced and just didn't sit right. The problem is now I have a knocking, but it's like a knocking of something that's loose, only nothing is :thumbdown: I've jacked it back up and checked the lower joint, the mount bolts, the strut brace, everything, nothing is loose, yet when I go over a bump at more than 5 mph the…

Have just dropped my good lady off at work, and her work chums are 'ribbing' her about getting out of "KAT" and calling me Michael Knight... Problem is, I was driving the Pearl Black 300ZX!
