Rainbow ZTT

hope he recovers ok, Top gear will not be the same without him.

Yep....

I'll see you at Scotch Marc m8 and the rest of you boys. Have a safe trip, catch u later. :D :hyper:

Are you going to the September's Meet on Sunday?

56,000 miles jspec tt 1991 H plate

Never had that problem.....I use gates belts they're really good other belts seem a bit crap to me.

The other Z I had was a daily drive, I drove it in all weathers but the one I have now lives in the garage and comes out on a nice days.

A tip on how to get a top class finish. After the metallic coat is applied put two coats of clear lacquer on then let it dry off until you can sand it flat with 800grade wet and dry (sand it wet) then put two more coats of clear on to achieve a mirror finish. This is a picture of my car when I did it, note that this is a sprayed finish and has not been cut back or buffed yet. Good luck Paul

If you sand the metallic basecoat when you put the clear coat of lacquer on you will see scratch's. you must have the metallic as good as you can and not touch it before you put the clear coat on.

Makes a big different some TLC, looks really good m8 like new one.

Mk 3 Escort, engine blow up four times and the body work rusted away.

Happy birthday m8 :duffer:

I'm not going too mad with mods on my car for the same reason.

Stella has got me thinking about second hand shops while talking about scrap yards. My dad was a bass player and singer in bands since the 60s, so I was brought up on guitars and music. In Sunderland there were loads of second hand shops in Hylton road and on a Saturday we’d go up their. I saw a bass guitar I really wanted so I swapped my bike for it. Loads of guitars including Fenders and Gibsons for a song. (between £120/£180) Some real bargains, the reason I say bargains is check this out. :shock: :cry: http://www.gbase.com/Stores/Gear/GearDetails.aspx?Item=1536210

I had an old MK3 escort years ago so the scrap yard was my second home. Putting other less rusty doors on and stuff.

That's a really nice looking motor m8.... The spec on my car is: Powerflow custom made exhaust, Blitz dump valves, Blitz turbo timer, Iridium spark plugs, light weight under drive pulley, Apexi air filter and lowered adjustable suspension. The exhaust is very loud, light weight under drive pulley makes a different's do you have this mod? I think a chip is the next step for me. At the moment the cars up there with most of the fast cars out their. Paul

Nice one mate, I've been looking for someone that can do work if needed. That's not too far from me. Paul

I sprayed mine gloss black to make the engine look cleaner.

I had a BMW325i with mods running at 200bhp and the back end was really bad I would say the Z is a much better car to drive. The power is much easier to handle.

I know how to do a rain dance; first of all you need a sponge then a bucket full of water, and then try to wash the car. :D

When I was a kid many moons ago the thunder storm were proper thunder storms so were the summers. Can you tell the weather by the clouds? I had a book on it. Yes the weather is interesting.

Canny bloke that Luke like (that’s northern speak meaning nice man). :D

That’s the only problem living up here I can’t find anyone that good with this kinda stuff. :( :cry:

Fifth gear on mine, it doesn’t happen much I think it’s only when the car gets really hot.

There's a thunder storm just started here. Did you do a rain dance Mr 300 tt nail it? :D
