Sussex stu

After sobering up this morning, me and my girlfriend took the zed out for a drive around the country, after about 45 mins of good driving down lanes we came across a small pet store / equestrian supplies place outside of Billingshurst, West Sussex. This place is in the middle of nowhere. Only about 4 cars in the carpark and all 4x4's. Had a look around the shop for about 10mins. Come out to find an immaculate white UK TT parked next to my Black UK TT. Whilst having a look around it, the owner approaches me with his partner. We get chatting about zeds. Basically i think his zed was garaged for 9 years, decided to see what it was like, only needed to jump start it, and it flew through the MOT. His name is Nick and he is from West Sussex, ive given details of the club and he will hopefully register later. This is one of the cleanest standard UK zeds i have ever seen. Apart from a slight bit of wear on the rear rubber spolier, and the odd bit on the wheels, it is like it has just come off the production line. Stu

Happy birthday mate,

That was last night, went to cracking party, 80's themed, gallons of stella and food. For some reason this morning my head is thumping, my eyes look like ive been taken over by a demon, and theres no way im driving the zed today. In need of a good fry up......lol :slap:

Nope wings dont have to come off. Just the skin on your knuckles has to come off to remove engine lol

all the rims £50 to mirror polish, the centres were done prior to me getting the wheels.

Out earlier and can confirm superheros drive cars, :dance::dance:

WTF mate. Wow if your going to do it, do it proper like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got these the other week from CBR337. (cheers fella) 18" Gewalt split rims. Now been fully refurbed, all stainless bolts done to. Just need to sort the tyres. All nice and shinny:dance:

Looks superb, love the front end, all nice and smooth, one sexy zed ....

There is a few of us around the area who can offer assistance and help, and dont mind getting dirty, if you need any advice give me a bell, glad to help. Im in Brighton alot of the time. Welcome to the nut house.......... Stu

mmmmmmmmmm zeds and beer, 2 of my 4 favorite things...... Im up for a Sussex meet.

Does this sound go when going over say 60 mph? then it is possible it is the propshaft bearing. when it happens, does the steering wheel judder? then look at wheel balancing, if it is continuos might be worth checking engine mounts/ prop.

each strap has a securing bracket ie 3. Put all brackets through the carpet and onto the pins in the boot, basically make a letter A shape but without the horizontal bit. The adjuster will either be on the right or left and side of the A shape. Remember to loop the strap back on itself so it can be loosend or tightend. Hard to explain, will do a pic tomorrow. IMHO waste of time anyway, as you slam it round a corner a bit quick the targas will slide out, unless the strap has be done up by guy the gorilla

ha ha ha Joel!!!, what a great position to be in, all that power :hyper::hyper::hyper:

Thanks for the help so far, popped into the polishers today 2 of the wheels are done rest will be ready friday. They look amazing. Fronts are 8" internal rim to rim and the rears 9". Have looked over for any labels of markings of numbers and its all in jap. Can anyone shed any more light... Cheers Stu

Harsh that another is possibly selling up..........But in todays current climate and its not getting much use.............You gotta do what you gotta do..............

What is the best tyre size for these, as ive just got a set, centres have been refurbed, and the rims are at the polishers. 18" Gewalt split rims, they have 225/35/18 on the front but nothing on the rears Does 255 or 265/35/18 sound okay for the rears. Dont want to have to need to have the rear arches rolled.

Good stuff, its amazing what a stupid plug that isnt connected will cause all manner of headaches.

Is that an open offer????????? If so will bring lots of Stella and half a pig............:rofl:

Looks like a good day Chris. Lucky lad......................

Had the same thing and have now discovered that my zed doesnt like being driven in heavy downpours, as im running a Blitz induction kit, traced it to a slightly damp maf, caused by me not having the plastic shroud that protects the area. A quick clean with contact cleaner and the job was sorted, made a hell of a difference.

Happy Birthbay Hope you get lots of nice stuff x

After the success of the rolling road day, a few of us got chatting about having a Boxhill to Brighton run again. We did this a couple of years back, and was a good meet and drive. Nearly 20 zeds. Then some food and a beer at Brighton Marina Have run this by Nick32, looking for doing something last couple of weekends of August, As it is a between regions South east and South central. Any views???? Thoughts??? Stu

Love your style mate, see when on the beer they give it the big boy chat, but when faced with a good hiding with their mates in the garden. Must have shat themselves. Will probably trash the place and then leave mate. Go get em.............

Tulip and James Funge, just be yourselves, be open and dont promise anything you cant deliver, You will be fine both of you. Best of luck..........
