As with most zed's loads of people have reason's why they can't user their car (either work in progress or broken lol) so I wouldn't worry too much although this is the first meet i've ever attended without a zed :cry:

 

In fact it's the longest i've been without my zed as a daily drive for 4 years now :cry: :cry: :cry:

You'll find when you've sorted out the niggly faults they rarely go wrong, my TT was a nightmare with a mixture of the suspension was knackered when i bought it but not told followed up with the mechanic fitting new suspension then not bothering to set it up!

 

Finally got 3D alignment done on it after replacing pretty much everything on it, that was the last fault i had with it and it was like a brand new car afterwards. I really wish i hadn't have got rid of it but i've had alot of fun with the current zed. The NA still makes a nicer noise, feels faster and turns more heads :)

 

And the even newer one when it's finished this year will turn even more heads and make an even better sound :D hehe

Whats the V8 from originally? If its a yank item, does anyone else think its a bit sacriligeous... I say this only as a jap purist, im not saying I dont like it. Cant beat screaming high revving jap engines!

It's a 1978 Chevy Camaro cast iron block, bored 40 thou and stroked to 6.3 litres :D

 

My thoughts are the zed always suits the sound of a V8 but in my eyes old american muscle should be run on a carburetor not fuel injection.

 

The biggest decider is just how many people stock parts for Jap V8s? Not that many, the stocklist for chevy engines and the years people have been working on these engine fills me with ease that there will be at least someone who knows what they're doing with it. The simplicity of the engines gives big power too and it's easy to tweak.

 

I'm fed up with failing sensors here there and every where. Just tweak the carb and away you go :D

 

Plus to me it's the best of both worlds, I can go to jap meets and americana meets and classic meets so it wins in every respect :D

 

ACE Cafe, here i come! :hyper:

 

Sorry peeps!-can't make this one...........................:wack::D

 

It,s only a couple of hours on a plane :D:D:D

Yeah, I definitely see the attraction, nice pic! Im hoping to put an RB25 or 26DETT in mine... So its lookin like the White Post then, I dont know any of them so its all good to me, no vote here!

I'd potentially like to come, never been to a meet before, but it depends on times and distance. What time will you be meeting (I'll be at church in the morning)? And for how long (maybe that I can come later on)? Which venue is furthest West (nearest Shropshire)?

Sorry to say the White Post is probably the most northern of the lot from shropshire! lol

 

I live in Lutterworth so it's a good 100+ mile round trip for me :(

 

Usually it's about the 12 o clock mark but we'll be there till about 4 usually?

 

Next one we could go for something a little more birmingham orientated?

I looked at RB26 but i've owned both NA and TT and I prefer the NA for power delivery so a big muscly V8 was the way forward to me. 450bhp without the lag and monstorous amounts of torque on tap without having to drop a cog.

 

Hoping for about the 470ft/lb of torque from 2500rpm and 370 from tickover

The White Posts car park is way to small and cramped + its right on the main island which is very busy.Defo not good for a car meet.I have called in many times coming back from Thoresby shows and your lucky to get a spot for one car.

I'll take your judgement on this one vinz, it'd be good to see you buddy :D

what about the main car park round the back then? You're talking about the one on the front.

one round the back is good for 30+ cars, its bigger than the Trading post.

mmm, think I'll have to give this one a miss, hopefully next time though if it's a bit nearer.

Phill82 there is a meet that Munny posts near Telford (The Breakfast Club) no charge and there is the RAF museum (which is free to).

 

The next one is on the 22nd of March, I went last time and will deffo be going this time :hyper:

 

Munny will probably put a post up soon.

Thanks for that guys, looks interesting. The only thing is the earliest I could get there on a Sunday would be about 12. But I guess as it's so close there's nothing lost if I just turn up and see if anyone's there. Possibly see you on the 22nd then!

woot woot :dance::dance:

2 for 1, sounds like a done deal to me :bow:

Anyone want to meet up on route? I am between Uttoxeter and Burton (Sudbury) just off the A50?

 

I also need to ask if anyone has or knows where I can get the pipe from my re-circs to where ever they go as I am taking off my BOV's (or know where I can get it from)?

I currently have a t-piece in mine to split the feed off to the BOV's. ;)

I’ve been down to the White post Inn and spoken with the assistant manager. They will try to cone off part of the car park for us but not promising this as it is a busy day for them.

 

A part of the dining room will be set aside for us which seats up to 60 people so we should have a nice meeting area.

 

A full menu is available including Sunday lunch. Pricing is 2 for 1 on main course only. Eat at what time you like. Obviously it’s easier for them if groups of people order together rather that a large group sit down at once.

 

The welcome seems pleasant already. I hope to see you all there.
