The Dark Warrior

LOL 'cos of the distance between my and the girlfriend I only see her 1 night a week and the weekends but I still get"are you on that bloody computer again!". And she's 27 miles away! Ivan

Yeah it's amazing down there - i bet we only know 60% of whats in the sea 'cos we cant get down there too look and it's pretty dark. lol Ivan

Staying in Costa Teguise mate i think. Ivan

LOL that was it! Knew someone had mentioned it. Thought you said tailgate "wieghts" tho'. As in more than 1? Ivan

Just weighed my tailgate tonight! With standard spoiler about 7 stones! Spoiler and wiper weight weigh 1 and a half stones so about 5 and a half stone ish for yours mate. Ivan :D

I heard a rumour that there was some weights in the tailgate to counter balance the wiper motor or something? Has anyone removed these? If so where are they mounted (obviously behind the plastic trims). Does anyone also have any pics of these? Ivan

Sensor works both steering and speedo mate. Could be affecting one and not the other??? It controls the speed-sensitivity on these cars. Is it heavy and then light and heavy again as you turn the wheel? Ivan

Thats deffo an impressive peice of kit. I'm always in awe of planes whenever we go to an airport - they're so massive! Makes you wonder how they ever get off the ground. It must be the willpower of all the passengers thinking to themselves "come on! get up there!" :rofl: :rofl: Ivan

Yeah someone else told me that. Is it the whole island mate?

TBH I dont know how anyone could possibly own a Zed and be without this site. It'd save peeps thousands of moolah on repairs. It's provided me with an infinite amount of resources in my time here and long live the site! Ivan

I would deffo like a a pssenger ride please mate. Next time you're around at one of the meets. Ivan

Going to Lanzarote on the 3rd of Feb. It'll be the first time me and the girlfriend will have gone abroad together. Ivan

One word i think mate - downforce. Ivan

Now that is awesome control... Ivan

But the Fiat does have a chevy V8 in it............. Ivan

I'd deffo be up for the broken Z vs broken Z lol Ivan

Mines got 1 & 2 :) Ivan

Coincidence - so did I lol :dance: Ivan

TBH mate talking from working with them for 2 years if you want a car like a zed (i.e. always needing mending) go for the TVR. If you want it to last then get the (slower) Porsche. You lose on sound and performance compared to the TVR but they need lots of repairs IMHO. Ivan

Right boy's I worked for TVR parts for about 2 years and here's the story. The rover V8 was used by the company in the wedges, V8S, Griffith and Chimaera. The 5.0 was a standard block with a unique-to-TVR crank and oversize pistons and valves. The 4.0 and 4.5 engines were oversize pistons I think but not valves and a standard crank. Oh yeah and the 5.0 was like shit3 off a shovel! Ivan

Whats wrong with it? Ivan

No probs mate. Send us it anyway and I'll do sommat with it. Ivan

Hello all! So the gift pack O only come with auto pedals now then? 'Cos thats what i wanted but I have a manual. :( Ivan

A couple of pics of the Chevy V8 conversion. Bit more room than the current setup. Ivan

Looking good mate. What are those spots on the rear bumper? Are they parking sensors? What system and how good is it? Ivan ;)
