Hi folks, just thought I would drop in and tell you finally I have sold my pride and joy to a guy called richard from Tralee in co. Kerry today, hope it brings you as much pleasure as it did me richard:)

 

Was quite sad watching him drive away, that car was like one of the family, but unfortunately it had to be sacrificed, Richard is a member on here and I know it's going to a good home to a fellow enthusiast.

 

I'm sure in the future i'll get behind the wheel of another z, for now i'm getting sloshed to numb the pain lol,

 

Promise ill try and drop in here from time to time, you guys have been a great bunch both as friends and tech help

 

(BTW my pic uploads and sig rights have been removed as i'm not a paid up member maybe someone could put up a pic of my little honey):nana2:

Cheers guys, I miss this place, the banter , the rows, the bans lol. I won't be a total stranger, it might even be easier to come on here now some financial wieght has lifted off my shoulders. Had such a crap 6 months , I found it hard to come on here, almost guilty in a way, I know that sounds silly but it's true.

 

Music is coming along fine Gaz and Lee, thanks for asking!

Only spoke with him for a few mins but seemed like a honest guy. gonna work hard to keep his car lookin as sweet as it is now. needs a few touches like turbo timer and to fix rear bumper, small things but need fix them to preserve the look of the car.

Hi Richard,

Lol! I have just written a long reply to that , and accidentally deleted it, probably just as well it was so soppy:p take good care of her, get used to people smiling at it and wondering what it is, and get over the niggly problems.........the sound and looks far outweigh them, as you probably are becoming aware:hyper:

 

I look forward to future Ireland meets where I can keep an eye on you and what you're doing to my little honey!

 

Rest of you guys and gals, thanks again, you're a great bunch:bow:

sorted all the radio wiring today and fitted new elec aerial and amp, also replaced all the amp wiring front to back. sweet sounds pounding out now. its booked in tomorrow to get new rear skirt added to bumper nd respray front wing. not much more to do apart from the usual timing belt and water pump and a service. i am lucky as i have a doner 300 and can take all the bits i need off that. save me alot.

Cool, hell your really getting into it already! Post some pics up after the bumper fix if you can.

got the car up on a lift today to examine the underbody and do some sealing under there. found that the exhaust was broken on the first bend after the manifold. so i got to work on replacing the whole exhaust front to back. oh how i wish i didnt. one side had only 1 bolt holding it on and i sheered that. so i had to grind it down and drill out the old bolts. took me three hours just to do that. was only able to drill out one as i used all the 5 drill bits i had on that. so put on new stainless steel exhaust with 3 bolts on one side and 1 on the other and now there is smoke coming in through the engine bay and into the car. may need to weld it closed for now until i can drill out the other two.took off back skirt to fit other one but it needs to be cut a little to fit with new exhausts. air flow meter needs replacing but thats only small job and have one off my doner car that will do.

will the car sound the same with the new exhaust richard, i liked the sound of the old one it was very distinctive, ps you dont happen to have a tt petrol pump on the donor car:D

i think it sounded like that was because it was blowing out badly from the first bend after the manifold. still sounds good but must put at least one more stud into the flange to stop blow out. i have a full doner car and pump is working fine. u need one i take it. where u from.
