Hi guys,

 

My Z may be going up for sale soon to make way for a new motorbike, i've got a few dilemas though;

 

My Z;

1992 on a J plate

80k bang on

S/H inc cambelt change etc etc

Running 15psi

R33 Brembos and disks, red stuff pads spare (still boxed!!!) half other pads still left!

1 off predator motorsport Zorst from downpipe back (1k's worth)

Lowered aprx 50mm

18" Reezax split rims, running 245x18x40 on front both only one month old, back running 265x35x18 one new tyre only a week old other could do with replacing in a few months.

Racelogic traction control unit

Blitz steel induction Kit

Twin turbo XS bovs (one of the loudest you'll find!)

Pillar mount boost autometer guages, turbo and oil pres

Interior retrimmed in connolly cream leather hide, seats standard black leather (good nick)

Twin light conversion, completly flushed (no nasty gaps) and fiat lights

De-spoilered and tailgate skin fitted

De-locked

Toad AI606 full closure

Sony headunit, with 6x9's front and rear, dvd player built in to car, lcd monitor in dash, multimedia unit in glove box.

De-badged and flushed

Silver headlights

Colour coded centre bumper strut w number plate relocated to bottom

Exterior is mint as fook I kind you not, there is only one pin dent on car above indicator, no scratches or rust.

 

Comes with spare set of targas, all original targa straps bags etc, original rims with brand new tyres as spares, spare master cylinder and loads of bits.

 

Here's the prob, passenger side turbo seal on its way out, I can't afford to get fixed at mo, but can get them recon for about 200.00 each and guaranteed (may as well do both sides) thats excl fitting.

 

I don't know what price to sell for / if it will sell needing a new tubby seal, runs mint, boosts fine, goes like fook still, no running probs at all! or if it will be me worth holding on and fixing to sell.

 

Also How much would I get if I broke it and sold all bits? although this would be a pain in the ass and I don't think I could bare to see that to happen to a lovely Z, but, I need the cash for the bike and soon as summer is comming.

 

I am really tempted to keep the Z and buy a not as new bike, but, I will not want to use the Z as my daily driver either, I want another dd cause I will be spending some serious dosh on the bike, and won't be able to afford a Z as well!

 

What do you all think guys? I know if I do sell I will regret it

Steve,

From what I have seen and heard I think you should keep the Z and buy an older bike.

Did you do the mods to the z?

I would be SERIOUSLY gutted to

sell the Z! Opt for an older bike &

a cheap DD.

In the same situation myself, got a

transit & the Z, transit full of tools etc...

not feasible to drive as a DD, neither is

the Z! Too thirsty!!

Bought a Montain bike!! :rofl:

Yeh I slept on it last night and my baby is sat outside the window, im not sure I can part with her!

 

Means I got to try and do some serious saving for a bike.

 

I might buy a cheap DD like a mondeno and save for a bike, not sure yet, descisions eh? wouldn't it be good to be rich? then none of this would matter!!!

wanna buy a Busa ? :)

Busa's rule don't they? bit heavy mind!!!

 

Friend of mine has his own nitrous business, had an open day yesterday, there were some seriously sweet bikes up there!

 

A couple of turbo's busas, both street fighters, most front fairing ripped off, but they looked sweet. Filter welded onto a plate on one side of tubby, the zorst was like a 6 inch pipe comming from tubby, sounded mental. Also the nicest looking one had NOS fitted with a progressive controller. Had an extended rear swing arm to absorb that wheelie/flip situation with over 400bhp lol. And the front disk OMG! it was the size of the rim, it was bolted all around inside of the rim, fkin huge!

 

Were about 12 turbod road legal bikes up there, most others had nos, some seriously sweet kit.

 

I had a few good base bikes that I am planning on getting a few of these petrol heads to mod! a turbo goes without saying! but if I'm keeping Z my plans may have a drastic change to them!

 

Buying a busa would be out of the question because of ins costs on Z, busa and DD would be v silly. Also maintaining all three, and probably modding would be out of the question!!!

dont really want to sell :( just does not get a lot of use (kids)

heavier than some but so well balanced u dont notice it

anyway change the exhaust and there down to 200kg and up to 169 rwbhp !

ah nitrous ! gawd knows what there like with that lot ! scary

rim brakes the new best thing awesome stoppers

keep the car,sleep on it. must be a way

Loans, nut I just cleared all them :D

 

Don't wanna get any more lol, I vowed to save for everything now, but aint it a pain in the ass waiting? :(

Er, why not sell a few choice bits off the zed and then replace them when you're back in the money?

 

I'd make you an offer on the Race Logic TC.

 

But let this be a lesson to all of you guys out there running 15 psi on stock tubs!!!

Ah i've bit the bullet, booked in to have tubbies reconned next month.

 

I do think tho that the car will be up for sale after at about 6k.

 

Then i'm gonna buy a 200 and extra cash to me bike :D
