Whoa! Thanks Si, proof once again that you are the oracle of all things Zed! The wheel refirb will need to wait a bit while I get the last suspension parts bought and installed.

Thanks Si, the wheels look pretty good when they're cleaned up but to be honest they are pretty poor quality. The clear coat is already peeling off in a couple of places. Not positive what make they are, they were on the car when I bought it. The center caps say "Bozway" but I've never heard of them.

19 x 10.5's on the back of mine...

You know you may have a point, I have to admit I got up to fair amount of trouble when I was young. Some of it dangerous and almost all of it stupid. But I always knew if I got caught I was going to get a good as$ kicking by the victim or my dad. I think what really surprised me was that this little punk stood there in plain view watching me drive towards him. He knew I saw him and could identify him later but went ahead and did it anyway. It was clear he had no fear of being caught because the penalty was not enough to deter him. Guess thats where things have changed, we had to be a bit more clever because if we got caught it was going to hurt!

Thank god for that! At least there wasn't any permanent damage. Still was really dangerous as I couldn't see a thing with the leaves covering the wind shield.

:rant: :rant: :rant: What's wrong with kids these days? Picked up my daughter from school today and while driving towards my house noticed a couple of kids standing on the side of the road next to a pile of leaves. You guessed it, just as I came up on them one kicked a huge pile into the air and smack onto my windscreen! Slammed on the brakes as I couldn't see a thing, jumped out of the car to give chase but the little sh*ts hightailed down the paths between the houses and disappeared. I was so PO'd I could barely speak! Took me 5 minutes to dig all the leaves out of the cowl and to hose it down. Feel like waiting for them tomorrow after school but would probably end up in jail, wish I was still 16. Then I could sort them out without any worries since kids can do anything they like without penalty! Funny thing is I was just telling my daughter it's not nice to call these types of kids chavs and it's not OK to stereotype people. Now I'm ready to round them all up and drown them! I mean what kind of a low life would defile a 300ZX?

TNT lose a package? How suprising! I deal with these clowns every week, swear they have a built in package sensitivity meter, if it's really important it arrives on time they will f@ck it up every time! (apologies if anyone on here works for TNT)

Oooohhh, is nice! :bow:

Technical advice, cheap parts, meeting new people, and keeping up on the gossip. And because I've got nothin better to do...

The guy who invented the speed camera (Mr. Gatso) developed it for clocking rally cars during races. He was very unhappy when they adapted it for road use.

Fair enough Si, Just started drinking who knows what I'll own tomorrow morning! (or if I'll be sleeping on the couch when the boss finds out)

Looks like I need to start drinking more! I've been planning to buy most of the same items but always back out at the last second when I realize it will just about break the bank. I know this could be a sensitive subject, but why did you buy from Z1 rather than DTA? Was the savings enough to make it worth buying from the US? I want to support our traders but at the same time money talks...

5 spokes for me in black. Check this website, they have an amazing selection, some at good prices - http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/home.htm

A D10 from 20 meters? Bet that left a mark on the permafrost!

108.9 in Basingstoke today. £60 to fill up! :headvswal

I laughed out loud several times, my favorite - "Will it be available as a ragtop?" :D :D :D

This subject has come up many times before and I think every region (including South Central) has had problem with attendence at events at one time or the other. My solution has been to become a club whore, I now belong to 7 different clubs - 300zx.co.uk Zclub Hampshire Jap Car Club Banzai Dorset Japenese Car Club Jap Girls Torque Power Each of these clubs has strengths and weaknesses, but between them there is something on every week. Today - DJCC Pub Meet 18/11 - HJC Brag Run (Poker Run) 23/11 - Wozzer's Amsterdam run (still time to sign up!) 2/12 - 300zx SC Christmas meet

That's good news Stella, glad to hear things are getting better. (put that dog on a lead!)

I feel for you mate, lost my Mom to cancer a few years ago. Glad to hear your's is doing OK, fingers crossed that she can be treated without surgery.

I can make the 1st but wont be able to stay for the 2nd. In a moment of insanity I signed up to do this - http://www.grimchallenge.co.uk/index.html

Congratulations! My daughter's birthday is on Halloween, she has the best parties every year. Hope Mommy and baby are doing well.

Paid 105.9 today for Optimax...

Athene and all, Really sorry I missed this meet after all the trouble you went through to arrange it. It wasn't the rain that kept me away, just the boss insisting I do some DIY around the house... :rant: I promise I'll make the next one if it doesn't conflict with the Wozzer A'dam run.

Funny, I just passed my (re)test today too! Only needed two front tyres, a new bulb for one of the lights over the rear plate, and front and rear reg plates with legal height characters. :nana2:

Had the stock 17 year old suspension. Rolled like a SOB in hard corners (see pic). I've set the shock dampening at the halfway settings and although it's a bit stiffer the ride is not harsh at all. I've taken it through a few roundabouts at speed and it felt like it was on rails. After I install the ARB's and get the alignment right it should be perfect.
