anybody read this months fastford?
I'll try to work out how to get a pic up but nope it still has two intakes and twin intercoolers, judging by the size of the turbos I doubt they would fit into a standard Z32 engine bay!

hit and run
Was woken up to a knock on the door last nite, it was the police aparantly an old guy had been knocked over and left for dead and according to witness's statements the arsehole was driving a red nissan sports car, the police checked cars in the area with the DVLA and I own two so they came to check my cars, they had with them the n/s/f corner of a bumper which I'm certain was from an s14 200sx, anybody with any info please pm me, thanx

Gutted Again
I've ran a 13.3 quarter mile in mine on a standard engine, I was behind a tuscan on the motorway and he floored it but I kept up so I would of thought if you have uprated pistons and injectors it would be quicker than mine?

Quick Question Re: snapped timing belt
this happened to me in an escort RSturbo I had, had just been kicking its head in then pulled off a round-a-bout gently and it cut out, cranked over really quickly so I just got it recovered to work, took the head off the next day and I had bent 6 out of 8 valves, was gutted because I had already bought a timing belt as I had only had the car 3 days and was going to change it after work but being young and stupid I just took a quick peek under the cover and thought ah it'll be fine till the weekend! doh!

EBC drilled and grooved discs
anybody had any bother with these? I bought these for the front and rear of my zed along with green stuff pads, the front pads lasted about 4k and when I changed them I noticed the discs had loads of small cracks round the middle of the braking surface, has anybody else come across this? theres a lad with an R32 gts-t that brings his car into my place for any work and I fitted endless grooved discs a few months ago and his are fine, are ebc poop?

Grr
my first Z was written off twice, me mam borrowed it when I was out on the lash to put the lottery on and opened the door without looking :xxx: ended up with a bent door and wing, the coachworks that the insurance company sent it to said it needed £3.5k of work so the insurance company offered me £850 as it was a G reg car, I got in touch with jeff at zedworld and he sent a letter stating what the vehicle was worth then with me being a mechanic I suggested to the insurance company that if they supply money for parts and painting I would fit them myself, while this got sorted I ended up needing an operation on my left ankle to remove a metal plate and 5 screws from a previous injury, once out of hospital and on the sick with a knee high cast on my leg I found an old trainer and slit the back of it so I could fit it over my cast, fitted a second hand door and wing, 90spec front bumper, quad rear lights and had enough left over for a re-spray. looked gorgeous but 3weeks later it was destroyed due to over-enuthusiastic driving and heavily worn rear shocks.
