Why?...... What picture / published item are you gonna pop up in next mate....... how can you top this year???? Joking aside, with all the support and advice the members on here give one another, I think there will be more Z's on the road next year and more members able to attend the meets and shows than ever..... Personally what I loved this weekend was watching the members in the group mugshot bonding and basically taking the pee out of one another light heartedly and just having a damn good time with complete strangers!! I left to go home to reality, knowing what I could say jokingly and to whom without offending them..... I understood members a bit more, rather than behind a keyboard and they were really funny.......

Yaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll right there BRUCE........... (in an aussie accent)......... Ya lil rippa............... From now on fella you shall be known as 'Stewart Gooner'............. lol

ROFL..... this is more you steve........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3f5EMcWSV4

Don't forget the £50 I leant you at JAE............:innocent::lol:

Hi everyone, Anyone that knows me will know I have only managed to start going to any shows this year. Now my Z is finally on the road, I have been enjoying putting faces to names and cars. So far this year I managed a mini meet at Maccy D's in Lakeside and met two nice members..... Then to Norwich to meet Spin doctor while I was on my anniversary weekend away..... lol Then I got to go to Castle Combe for the first Japfest..... a nice day out........ Then it was Santa-pod organised by MarkDerby (uncle Fester or Mini Me) as he was referred to ..... lol..... A nice day and met some more nice Z owners, Bob Genie, Sam Dosser, etc.... Got to catch up with Mr. F after a few years..... Next was my family event at Beaulieu motor museum that was superbly organised..... My wife and 2 boys (6 and 2) absolutely loved it and are looking forward to next years meeting. There was so much to do for the family with the museum, old houses, the Abbey, kids play area, Monorail, Classic Bus ride.... Just a lovely day out and I got to meet yet more members and put more faces to names...... Thank you to FunkySi and all involved in organising this and giving up your time..... It is much appreciated! Then my first JAE this weekend with some of the nicest people you could want to spend a weekend with....... I absolutely loved it! I must admit I was apprehensive and nervous going on my own and not actually knowing anyone there to talk to face to face..... But I was made to feel welcome and part of the gang! There were times where I was laughing so much my sides hurt...... thanks to Bird and his lovely Janine, Mark (Rata2ie), Phutumsch or Foot munch as bird called him, Craig, Nicki and family, Jason farrow and Jay, Jeff (big show), Jaikai, Stuart (Bruce) Gunner, Rolandas and his partner, Richard and Ian (I wear 70's flares) Vodkashots...... lol Nearly forgot the elusive ADL phoenix who popped in to say hi........ lol You all made me feel so welcome and looked after..... The food was nicely cooked by Janine, Mark and Craig and others while I was there, I heard a rumour the Ian (Vodkashots) tried to cook before I got there, but was told to put the blow torch away in case he burnt down the marquee or set light to himself.... lol I know some people on the forum are not happy with the events or how they are organised...... Constructive criticism welcome..... My personal feelings on this are that, if this is how people feel then please suggest alternatives, offer some help organising things, support the people putting in the effort and time trying to make the meets and shows fun for everyone there.... I just wanted to write this thread to say thank you for a wonderful time this year and thanks to EVERYONE on here that I have managed to meet and those I haven't for making it so much fun and helping me in every way possible! I am looking forward to next year and would like to offer to help with events in any way I can, to help make next year even better still........ let me know what I can do to help.... Again thanks for a wonderful year......

So sorry to hear your bad news mate, my condolences to you and your family.........

+1 for shadow chrome mate..........

Bugger!

Even better Gary..... More money for chocolate, crisps and Cans......... lol What's the chef like for the BBQ?...........lol will it make the Michelin guide???

Thank god for that..... Luckily I have an estate..... sorry LWB.....lol I shall bring snacky things, some sausages and bacon + a load of cold cans of pepsi max then.... (T-Total)...... lol Looking forward to this as I have been allowed out to play without a chaperone...... lol Thanks Gary.....

Can I ask..... Is everyone taking tents or sleeping in their cars?........ lol I am only there for saturday to sunday so not sure if it is worth taking a tent or just a duvet and pillow...... lol Never been before, so what do you all do about food or dinner..... lol

Should have gone to Spec Savers Gary......... Did you fit it on the road, could have been the camber..... lol

Why don't you pull the engine, fit TT pistons with new rings and bearings and TT heads..... The NA block has better oil squirters from what I was told.... Someone on here must have an old set of TT pistons if they have gone forged....

Apparently a lot of the design concepts were used by Honda on the NSX..... (Thanks to Drift Freaq on the Zilvia.net forum for this quote)

[video=youtube;BGIh-msGl2w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGIh-msGl2w I want one........ Very much....

I do love the look of the Mid4..... I did a search and there was one for sale...... previously..... I would love to get hold of the details for one of the VG engines they used as the rocker covers, plenum, no coil packs looks interesting...... I would love to see some more info on the engine differences and the 4 wheel drive setup......

Has anyone ever seen a plenum like this one? I came across this picture and thought I would share, not sure if it has been posted before?

Suck it up mate....... Us males can do anything....... who needs sleep...... lol

Am I being stoopid? I am going to get my ticket online and going Sat to Sun..... The ticket for sat and sun doesn't mention camping, but the fri to sun does..... Which one do I need to camp with you guys on the club stand??? Cheers Russ

I spent about an hour checking all my pipes, resetting the Profec B II to factory settings and going to try to work out what I need it at to get some boost as it feels like an NA at the moment....... I did find a vacuum hard pipe without a pipe or blanking plug on it........... Now has bung fitted..... Put battery on charge yet again, dies within a couple of days and appears to be one cell going down as jumps quickly and seems fine when engine started.... Could be the old alarm.... Getting ready for weekend at JAE........

Happy Birthday Rodney.......... sorry Dave........lol......:happybday::tt2:

You could always use one of these.... http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits/ You could have the connections in the glovebox for iPhone, aux input and usb.... it would also work via bluetooth for music and handsfree phone.... It also gives you a usb phone charger and iPhone charger.... Has a built in 20w amplifier....... just a thought......

I have just been given permission from the wife to go....... she's upto something!.............lol Wonder where she wants to go or what she wants to buy!!!!! Anyway.... asked a mate to come and he can't come so more room in the Z for a tent, food, gazebo, food, cleaning products, food oh and me........ And spare battery as mine keeps getting drained for some reason...... Saturday and Sunday as working friday till 22.30.......... But be there bright and early Saturday.... What time are the gates open??? Yes I managed to get time off work.......... lol

Now that is one way to sort out a tailgater........ and ........... meeeeeeeeooooooowwwwwwwww

Sitting here giggling, imagining some idiot tailgating and a 60 foot fireball engulfing their suped up vauxhall corsa....... lol
