hi guys,

i have a 1992 uk car and will be fitting a 99spec front bumper, has anyone had any issues with the tow hook being in the way?

 

darren

None at all it fits perfectly and the tow eye is still usable.

 

Carn't believe thats five years back

The only problem is when you are hauled onto the flat-bed of a tow truck. As tow cable will catch on the bottom edge of the bumper. But then it'll catch on the bottom of most bumpers.

Shouldn't that be if :rofl: . Get it serviced regular and replace the dodgey bit and she should be nice and reliable so long as you don't dabble too much. :smash:

 

Anyway have it towed in backwards. :slap: :rofl:

 

Mine did 129,000 miles with induction, 15 psi boost and fuel mapping and never missed abeat. then the first rebuild and I had 2 1/2 years of cost and pain. I then decided to forget every thing I've read on here and had my second rebuild how my own experience of perfomance cars and bikes told me. 1 year on and 8000 miles trouble free and I expect 100,000.

:rolleyes: :headvswal: Yeah ok whatever....

MEEEEEEOOOOOW. Who elses spec has it been built to then? :headvswal :headvswal

 

Andy when you were 3yrs old I was racing a Pagett TZ 400 Yamaha and doing all my own mechanicing.

 

I built tweeked and raced more bikes than you could shake a stick at. I rebuilt my first Range Rover from Chasis up. I completely rebuilt my old P6 Rover and uprated the cams and carbs etc. I've had loads of Turbo'd cars, infact I've got 4 at this very moment in time. When I got my Zed I joined the Zclub then later came here looking for knowledge of experience with these cars.

 

People here have told me all sorts of good and crap advice. Yourself included. After waisting lots of money I decide to trust my own instinks and experience of the more reliable people (saddly most seem to have departed) + what I know and as a result I had my last engine built at C & S Woods (best engineer I've had the pleasure to know) to my spec as I decided I wanted it, I've experimented with things new to him and vice versa. As Phil would tell you and it works well.

 

I have had J D do the mapping because what he says makes sense and I trusy him.

 

The people that Have done good work for me and helped I recomend (see my posts). I also try to give advice from my experience. Which is quite condiderable 7 rears ownership and extends beyond 300zx's. So as to save others here waisting money for poor value results or desasters I though that was the point. to pool information and help.

Fair enough Mark but your post blatantly stated that this site is full of BS WRT advice on mods! Crap advice from me? When? You're more than welcome to your own opinion but don't try to impose it on others. Mark, you know I've helped you out several times, FFS I even took an ECU apart to trace a conection for your auto electrician! This was while I was supposed to be working on another car which was actually earning me some money! Take offence? You bet I have! I take a LOT of pride in my work and the people who know me will vouch for that.

talking of rebuilds im looking into the idea myself, my fella wants to have a go and do it but would you lend a hand an some advice andy??

 

let me know whether to PM your or ring

Andy your not reading what I've writen and yes you have helped me at times and I am gratefull for that, and said so to others, as I have genuinely offered help to you before and would do again, but you seem to be miss reading and quoting things.

 

I saw your post asking if everyone had been on druggs

 

Sure it wasn't you :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ok fair enough. My point is that I put a hell of a lot of time and effort into helping people on this board and sometimes it feels like it gets thrown right back in my face. Wish I bloody was on drugs lol life would be so much easier :D
