Got the Z back last night,took they guy 12 days to do it:) well pleased,i forgot just how lovely they are on full song with good compression and no knackerd valves,just got one or two minor bits to sort,been in the garage with it all evening today,cleaning it,sorting bits etc,haaaaaaaaa sheer heaven:) ;) Tony:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Thats brill mate!! :cool: Quick turnaround too :)

 

I'll have to come out for a spin when the weather improves :D

 

Is that a yellow plenum? :rofl: Nah only kidding...looks beautiful :cool:

 

Pete

Yes well spotted young man:rofl: i may change it due to fact the paint used may not be up to all the heat:rolleyes: Good idea bout going for spin,James300 will be coming over in near future to drop of my tyres,we can have a mini meet:D

Yeah cool, sounds a good plan :) Is that a bit of banana skin on one of your coilpacks? :rofl:

very very nice - good work tony, i'd love to see it in real life, are you changing the fan shroud?

 

goddammit - i'm runing out of money

 

Regards,

 

Alex

Looks great mate, I don;t think there are any other Z's I've seen with Yellow. We all have Blue and Red so it's very original.

 

Also good idea to run the wastegates along the strut bar, didn't think of that with mine. Will you be changing the blue silicone for yellow later ?

Bloody hell, if that's the car I think it is then all you must have to do is whistle and the engine gets out on it's own ! Good to hear it's working (again) though ! ;)

Glad you're back on the road Tony - nice one ;)

Looking good mate, you must be well made up :)

Nice one Tony,was it just headwork then?

Nice Tone'.

 

Enjoy the open road again.

Well done tony, your paitence has finally paid off!!;) :D

Thanks all,been so busy not had much chance to reply,plus been in garage fiddlin with coil pack and injector connectors,pesky things keep popin off,well sorted now:D

Pete,when you next see me at the Pod it will be a flying banana:D

 

Alex,fan shroud later next year i hope

 

Stuart,i will change to yellow pipes in time,and maybe a few more yellow bits to:D

 

Andy,well,mmmm, third time is supposed to be lucky,LOL

 

Yes Jock so bloody happy its finaly friggin sorted after pisin about for 6 months!!

 

Mac,I did not get it rebuilt,i was going to but seen as i had a JDM lowmiler auto engine ready the mechanic said it would be best to use it,would allso be cheaper and i realy wanted to go back to using a auto engine,as since the manual one was put in early last year its not performed as well,mid range torgue/power was lost somewhere i think,John noticed it when he got it done,must be ecu set up or something,ran slower times to,now its back to original state it realy flies,i will see how it goes and hopefully it will last a while,any major probs in future then its coming out again for rebuid,;)

 

b19rks,if i had none mate i would have lost the plot:(

Hi Tony,

 

do you have an idea about what you are going to do with your fan shroud - it's the one bit in my engine i really hate. Ive seen carbon fibre ones but i'm not sure.

 

Regards,

 

Alex

Actualy Alex you have me thinking,i like the carbon ones but am now thinking of spraying mine yellow,i think it will look ok,if not i'll just strip it back again,give me something to do in the garage anyhow:D
