Is it that you fix your Z and then find even more wrong? LOL

Finished fitting my brakes and just need them bleeding tomorrow.

Put my rear wheel back on and noticed a screw through an almost new 295 tyre! :rolleyes: :cry:

Tyre hasn't moved in a year so it's been there ages and hasn't gone down.

I started to unscrew it hoping it might be a small one but noooo it started to hiss and the thing is about 2 inches long.

God knows how it got stuck in there.

It never ends!

Well the engine is great now but just keeps eating clutches and gearboxes :rolleyes:

I got the bodywork sorted then the auto box died.

Converted to manual box with new clutch.

New clutch died within 2000 miles.

Another new clutch fitted.

Turbo's failed and engine died.

New engine went in but they forgot to repair the turbo's which caused it.

Engine out again for new turbo's fitted.

Clutch died from too much power.

Fitted big clutch and now the box has died instead LOL

Now it's been off the road standing so long the bodywork is a mess and needs loads of work to sort it out.

Never ending :(

I reckon it's about 430 at the wheels right now at 14psi.

Had a dyno at 400 before I changed to a twin intake and the power is definately up a lot since I did that.

Made a big difference to the power and runs a lot smoother

It hasn't even been properly mapped yet and is running rich.

That's another job that will have to wait until everything else is sorted.

:bow: very impressive figure , if i could get mine over 300bhp as an n/a one day I’d be one very happy man:dance: (but i know how much Wonga that's gona probably take:()

 

seen some that have got n/a's up to ridiculous figure’s in Japan and the us on site's etc usually with the help of a blue bottle though for serious power

 

I hate decisions :confused

theres another way to look at it m8 if you were in a mondeo that drove day in day out and never missed a beat would it give you the same buzz as your 300 does. my st200 never missed a beat but once i got new wheels and put the ice in that was it you couldnt do anything more to it without it entering the world of nasty chav.

 

a 300 was never meant to be practical and the older they get the more trouble you get if you are going to use them as they are meant to be used.

 

that in the end was why i changed my mind at last minute and went for soop as its more reliable but even that im sure will still break at some point because i certainly wont be nursing it around
