You to could have a zed like this!!
Hmmm, I think looking at the front of that monstrosity has made up my mind about the GTR-Z 2 Stillen Front ... nah, I really don't think so! :) Looks like I'll be sticking with a '99. "No Fear" indeed .. I think you'd have to be pretty brave to drive that baby around! :D:D

Whos got what (20",19",18",17",16",15")
18" Kosei Snipers :D

Faulty headlight bulb!
Kia, try here ... PIAA Bulbs you need super ice white H3C ... these babies have 85w brightness with only 55w draw, and really transform the headlights into, well, headlights .. rather than the birthday cake candles that come as standard ;) I also have a J-Spec car, and tbh, when I got it, despite the baco-foil conversion the lights were dire. :( CheerZ, JB.

What fuel should I use?
Yeah, no worries .. just drop me a line on the e-mail address in my profile "john_simpson@harcourt.com".

Think I've decided! (wheels)
They are indeed .. and what a good choice they'd make too! :D:D Just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Having said that, what's gonna happen to your post count, once you've got them??? ;);) CheerZ, JB.

What fuel should I use?
Kia, Although I am a keen Z fanatic, I'm definitely not one of the forum's greatest mechanical brains I'm afraid. I certainly can help you ascertain whether you've got a safety boost problem as Andy suggests though, I've had to run the diagnostic a few times myself!! ;) I'll be about Saturday morning if you don't get any better offers of help in the mean time. Send me a PM and I'll give you a bell if you wanna meet up. I'll give you whatever help I can. CheerZ, JB.

LOL ... I'll see you in the Shell Garage on Bluebell Hill then!! :D CheerZ, JB.

comiserations
LOL .. me too ... and it looks like I was 32 on the same day as Adam was 30 (Saturday) ... even worse, I also have a tartan blanket in the back of my Zed, and I *do* have targa bags :eek: So happy belated b'day from one virgo-an oldie to another virgo-an rapidly approaching oldie-dom! :D Fetch me a Zimmer, will you?

Speedo conversion
Hey Kia99 ... welcome from a fellow Maidstone-ite .. well Bearsted, so close enough!! What colour's your Z then? I'll keep an eye out for it round town. :D:D

Race with an aston martin!!
Well done Kirbz!! :D:D Nice one. Actually, DB7 Vantage has 420 bhp, but enough torque to pull a train, and no lag to worry about. Drove one at Millbrook last year, and they do fly - not to mention sound gorgeous!! :)

Anyone see the Band at Billing ?
Actually Paul, we were hoping for a command performance from Chris on the Pink Oboe!! :D:D
-
Anyone see the Band at Billing ?
You guys may well poke fun now, but just wait 'til it breaks into the top 40 ... :D:D Think of all the cash we'll have to spend in the trader's forum ... the Z 4 would be a fine name, if it weren't already the name of an inferior BMW product. :D The drummer and the guitar definitely look the part, but the tambourine looks like a refugee from a Christian band IMO. Clearly though the singer is the *real* star .. just look at that "winning" smile!! :D:D Is it true there's a promotional video on the way, Stu?

Big Smile - BIG SMILE
LMAO .. Well, quite, Stu ... No, I mean, like "waiting" then "receiving", not spending several decades in the interim. From what I hear about HKS exhausts, it could have rusted away before it arrives! :rolleyes: :mad:
-
Big Smile - BIG SMILE
Nice one .. there's nothing quite so satisfying as ordering new bits and waiting for them to arrive!! :D:D If only James could be so decisive ;):)
-
another one selling up!
Surely not!! .. who would be irresponsible enough to start a rumour like this??? :eek: Don't do it, Mike!
-
Squeeky Bakes
Marc, this could be a red herring, but if you've got stock brakes, I've been told some of the pads make a "squealing" noise to let you know they need changing ... Certainly worked on my last one .. new pads, squealing gone .. in fact, I was told they're called "squealers" .. novel eh? CheerZ, JB.
-
another one selling up!
Mike WTF??? :( Have you enrolled at the Vidal Sassoon school for challenged wrists? ;)
-
Best wheel site yet.....
LOL James .. how about "view new work" .. :D:D:D It's gonna be like a ghost town on here once you decide on your new wheels, I reckon!! ;) (subliminal hint - you know the snipers are best! mmmm, anthracite snipers .. lurverly :))
-
Aaaargh - White Van Man strikes again.
Oh no, another damaged Z :( .. bad luck mate ... nightmare :(:(
-
Southern go-Karting
Yep, I'm up for this .. raced at Buckmore a few times (don't worry, I'm shite - too fat) - but it's superb .. not cheap, but superb .. :D Karts do do 70mph-ish too .. fookin superb :) CheerZ, JB.
-
Just wanted to see
Hmmm ... I think I've spotted a pattern with you and Anthracite Alloys, Jimbo me 'ole china ... Not sure .. I think they look a bit "weedy" for a Z .. how about some nice Kosei Snipers? ;):) CheerZ, JB.
-
Just wanted to see
Before my previous Zed was "removed from the equation", I was also keen on the OZ wheels ... However, there's a kitted sierra sapphire near swanley station with a set, and it really put me off them for some reason! :( Personally I really like AZEV wheels, but aren't they a little on the dear side? Still, if money's not a massive issue, I think you have to go a long way to beat the Blitz Z1 .. lurvelly. :) CheerZ, JB.

need some zeds in maidstone on 28th
I do!!! After all, I have about 8 of them in my team (and I don't mean students!! ;)) ... This aside, if you mean the 28th of September which is a Sunday, then I'll be there - this was a good one last time, but only 3 Zeds :( - Good venue too ... (and no, it has nothing to do with being 3 mins drive from my house :D:D) Come on fellas, let's get the Z turnout up - Phil - no excuses from you, sir! CheerZ, JB. BTW, just noticed .. it's J7 of the M20.

no takers for back to basics
Sorry Steve, Would have come along, but I'm afraid it's my birthday on the 30th and there are other plans afoot, so I'm told ... :eek: Surely, it's little acorns, though isn't it? :D;) CheerZ, JB.

FAO Ajay (club insurance)
This would be superb if we could get it up and running, but talking to Steve B, he's mentioned that the Z-club have tried a few times to get special deals, and I don't think that any insurer has ever considered them to have enough members .. and, if there's only 120 of us ... I don't hold out much hope. :( However, I will defer until Neet speaks, and delivers the glad/bad tidings .. :D
