I just thaught I'd introduce myself.

 

I had a 1991 Jap TT manual two years ago and it was a bit of a nail, it gave me nothing but trouble, when i sold it I swore I'd never have one again...

 

...I'm 20 now and have just baught Z number 2, a black 1990 Jap TT manual, I'v had her just over a week. Its got 49,500 miles on the clock and runs incredibly well, sounds perfect and theres no smoke at all.

 

Now for the funny part, in this first week I'v already had to replace the clutch and sort a misfire that it developed (easy job - bad connection on a coil pack). Also the cat was rattling quite loud so I'v got rid of it and had two nice straight through pipes put on.

 

Its running perfectly again now so I realy hope the above wasnt the start of things to come.

 

Just a few little bits of body work to do and it'l be mint.

Hello and welcome, all little things (and big :nelson:) come with Z ownership as you already know

Welcome bud , i hope replacing your cats with straight pipes doesn,t start it smoking on tickover , it,s a common problem :headvswal

Welcome to the nut house buddy.

 

Lets hope de-catting dosen't affect the turbo rear seals. Do a search and you will find many threads about it.

 

Of course we want to see photos etc of your new ride.

 

Good luck with it and we have our fingers crossed that it is a good one.

Nice to know that not all youngsters are just into hot hatches, you have a bought a car that will (touchwood) give you many miles of pleasurable and exciting driving. :D

 

And also eat money like a Gold Diggin Bird :rofl:

 

Good Luck

 

Post some picks when you can

Thanks all.

 

Nope no smoke so far but I havent driven it much post decat yet. I found out about the turbo seals problem while it was in the garage having it done, I'm not to worried tho, things breaking is realy just an excuse to replace them with uprated items :D.

 

Il get some pics up once Iv had the bit of paint done that needs doing and its been given a good mop. It's going in monday after next for it.

 

Monster21 - Iv had my share of Hatch's, in my 3 years of driving Iv had more cars than I can count, from a Fiesta to an M3 evo and everything in between, the Z is one of the only ones Iv gone back to for a second helping though and hopefully I'l manage to keep this one for a while.

 

Thanks again for all of your welcome's and hopefully Il have some pics up for you in a couple of weeks.

 

Oh yeah and Im sure Ill need technical advice a'plenty.
