It won't go away!

 

I'm not doing anything mega to the Z either as I've done pretty much everything 'big' that I want to for the time being, just odds and sods here and there. I thought I could give it a break but I can't.

 

Replaced all the tyres today not just because they needed to, but because I wanted to go a little wider and Jesus H Christ, it made a difference. Stance is near as how I want it as possible. But wait; I want to buy a boost controller in a few weeks time, I'm picking up some new O2 sensors from Mario tomorrow, then there's a new 4 channel amp I want to get, new chip from either JD or AP, the car's going to the bodyshop before the end of the year to get the roof bars painted gloss black. Along with that (even though they still look very good) I want new targa trims, window trims etc.

 

I had it SORN today because I can't be bothered to re-tax it. I'd rather tinker about with it in the garage for a bit!

 

I thought I'd stop spending after the interior. Apparently not. :(

oh dear, wish i had the cash to spend lol

I'm running out. :(

ive never run in lol

hobbies, doesnt matter what it is, it costs again and again

and to think im only just startin :confused:with the mods and me list is getting bigger and bigger ooppss:D

I know exactly how you feel, think ive spend about £600 every month since i bought it, i just bought a innovate wideband sensor and gauge yesterday, and a load of other gauges bits and bobs.

Cant stop spending :D

It never EVER ends Si, get used to it :rofl: :rofl:

spent £2500 over last 3months recon on at least another £1500 over next two months and then about £3000 on engine rebuild next year.

over £600.00 in me first month of ownership :)

 

essentials off course !

Run out!! :( still got alot of work to finish the single tub conversion.

I'd hate to think what I've spent. Probably in the region of £15k excluding the cost of the car itself which was about £5k I think, I could have a bought an NSX for that!! That's a drop in the ocean compared to what some people on here have spent! I'm having fun doing it though. :D

It is a lovely looking car so the outgoings on it are worth it imo ... :)

si are you gonna get a 69 spec frontal ????

I thought about it long and hard but no, I really like the original TT front bumper and prefer it to the 99-spec and since I've done this to it, it would seem a little pointless really.

 

 

 

 

I do like the 99 fascia, but I think the early TT ones look a little more aggressive.

 

If I was starting again I'd get the escort racing fascia, basically a 99-spec with a nice lip and Kaminari sides. But keeping the main body of the car original and clutter free.

you've shaved it :) smoooth. tis nice but with the shape look of you're car rims, 99 rears (and wallet :rofl: ) i'd '69 it all the way dude

Agreed. and fook knows how you keep that bumper so perfect.

it's sorn and don't go anywhere :rofl:

Indeed, yes, I shaved it, along with the sills and rear bumper, but narr, the body is staying as it is. The only plan I have for it other than the black roof bars is to possibly have the grey 'moustache' repainted on it, fit some UK spec smoked corners and tint the reflector of the fog lights.

 

A bit like this p'shop of someone else's car.

 

it's sorn and don't go anywhere :rofl:

 

 

Only from tomorrow it is! I officially have 1hr and 35 mins left if I want to take it out...but, wait....the road is wet outside! LOL

 

I might re-tax it again in a month, will see how I feel. Other than that, it'll stay in the garage for the winter to be kept away from the ravages of salt and shite.

si you're f'in jokin ??? not the moustache on the bumper ??? that's one of my pet hates on the z it looks shite

Those are old photos. Few small blemishes on it now, but not a lot. I fitted nice new fog-light lenses since too. So looks nice and fresh.

No, I like it. You can use it to hide away the fog lights and indicators in a semi-standard state! LOL

please dont' :hurl:
