help or might sell?
And petrol? I know it sounds stupid but the first thing they taught us was to check for juice as you said it fired on easy start, so ignition side seems ok as your getting a spark. Check you have the fuel lines in the engine bay the correct way round. Can you hear the fuel pump when ignition is switched on?

Anyone got the zcentre HID's?
I've been looking at the HID's but isnt as straight forward to fit them to a UK car it seems the dim-dip cct has to be removed.

Argh me left turbo
It is possible to do the passanger side tub with the engine in, but its a real pita of a job and just as easy to take the engine out as its false economy to do just 1 turbo, and as i said before there is other preventative jobs you can do whilst the engine is out, plenum by-pass for a start its worth doing to prevent future water leaks from the pipe work at the rear of the engine.

There is something to be said
We went to her sisters birthday meal yesterday afternoon, her in doors goes in the shower so i said im gonna take car round courner and get it washed "Well dont be too long we gotta leave in an hour" Ok i said. Took me about half hour to get car washed, i was back home with half hour to spare, jumped in the shower ironed a T shirt and dressed ready to go before she had dried a poxy hair. I love it when im ready first as she always nags me to get ready and im always ready first, then i can say as usual i'm waiting for you lol

I could live with a 200sx........
I put my name on the list of who wants it too lol. Not keen on the colour though i must addmit i dont think the paint work warrents the money, time and effort thats been put into the car, it lets it down a bit. But i could live with that the fun factor and the V8 rumble far outways the paint job :D Just wait untill shrimpy sees it

pro's and con of joining the army
You thinking of going in then? Just dont go into communications ffs. Seriously if you are good luck to ya. I went to join the RAF past all the entry exams but my Motor Mechanic apprenticeship came up so opted for that. But as i've got older i think i proberbly made the right choice as now i wish i had gone in the Navy and really regret it, now as its too late.

Revs go up and down ?
Could be a mixture problem check for air or vacuum leaks, could be a small vacuum pipe off. Or.. Have you had to top the coolant up in the rad? As you could have an air lock which can cause idle fluctuations, as the pocket of air causes the ECU temp sensor to read air instead of coolant, so the ECU tries to control the air/fuel mixture which causes the idle to go up and down. An indication coolant could be low or there is an air lock, is the aux fan will cut in and out.

What do you think?
My advise is dont buy a zed your not 100% sure of they can be expensive to get them the way you want, especially if your not sure about the body kit. Although you will proberbly find someone to buy it of you. Have a look through the cars for sale ads, Your proberbly better to buy 1 of this site as you can find out the history of the car. The description of the one advertised seems a little over streatched to me, the car wont make 450bhp with an induction kit dump valves and turbo timer, plus it says the bodywork needs attention and the clutch is slipping.

Northern Rock
She says if you hang on to them and the company gets bought up then the shares could go back up as they will then be shares for the company that bought Northern Rock, although the amount of shares you bought might not be the same but will still be worth the same amount. For eg if you bought 1oo Northern Rock shares they might only equate to 40 shares with the company that buys Northern Rock but they will still have the same value. All this is due to Northern Rock investing too heavily abroad.
