Took the Z and MOT yesterday after being SORN for ages and my God!!

 

I forgot just how exciting these cars are to drive!!

 

Any way she's back home and up in the air now with a list of jobs to complete before JAE.

 

Just thought I'd share my excitement!

 

:clap:

Good times dude.

well done bud, certainly does warm the cockles of the heart matey.

I never got that far...

Im with you there mate, after having the car off the road for about 10 days to fit new engine and manual box, i cant believe the difference its made compared to before and certainly enjoy driving her all over again.

eeey big things!! Hows she driving??

I have that tyre valve off for you mate!

Couldn,t agree with you more bud , i,m now manual , chipped and boosted and it,s a completely different animal compared to how it used to be :thumbup1:and it,s bloody fantastic to drive:thumbup::thumbup:

Hmmmm seriously considering the manual conversion auto's great on the mway but just came back from driving her in the twisty hilly b roads of cornwall and the damn thing drove me mad! Forever changing down then up grrrrr can u keep the cruise control if i have the conversion done?

Yes you can still use the cruise control

In that case i may have to book it in at zworld fairly soon! Anyone know how much the full conversion is?

Great to hear that Andy. Sometimes I have gone as much as a month without driving mine, but then once I take it out I realize how much I love the ZX after the first 5 minutes.....:rockon:

I think it's about £1600 all in.....

 

Richard:thumbup1:

isnt it in the region of £1000-£1500?

 

Drop JeffTT a pm, he'll be able to tell you!

Glad you're back on the road Andy. I take it the Zed passed it's MOT then?

Nice one mate :dance:

 

I hate mine at the min. i just cannot get the feel of the back end right. could be the new tyres :(

nice mate... pleased she's finally back on the road.

Cheers for the comments guys!!

Drives nicely mate, just need to change the front pads. I had to chuck the tyre on for the MOT so it has the old rubber on on it!! Will have to fit it on the next tyre change.

Yes Howard, just advisories on Dented front rims, power steering pump leak and one low front brake pad.

 

Nice one mate :dance:

What tyres are they and what did you have before?

Ive set up a new thread :)

Yeah it's amazing how much you can miss it when it's off the road, then eventually get kinda used to it, then when you drive it again finally, big smile on ya face! :D

 

Congratulations man.

I took mine in for an MOT too and I know exactly how you feel! After driving an LPG Vectra for 2 years it was like being strapped to a missile!

Ah sorry boss - been shafted for work lately. I'll give you it anyway to store for when you need it. Got 4days off after tues if you need a hand with anything.

Very similar to my experience. It felt like a go-cart!
