My tyre sizes, if I have read the chart right the difference at 90 mph is 90.7 mph (not sure what this means) Thank you for the compliment, I did not know my headlight spec! The lights were on it when I imported the car.

Tyres
Just ordered new tyres front & rear. 225/40 Goodyear’s front & 265/35 Nankang rear both 18s fitting Saturday, I have Bridgestone on the front at the moment with nankang rear. Same setup when I imported my zed. So I have gone with Goodyear at the front this time. I haven’t had any tyre issues to be honest so should be happy with the set up.

UK dials
I purchased a set of UK dials last year. Today was going to fit them however the back electric sockets are different to mine! My Z is a TT jap import. I thought it might be a simple change. Apparently NOT! Advice please Art

Is it worth it
I got through 4 autos before a manual conversion. Getting a manual will cost around a 1K then, new fly wheel/clutch/master & slave cylinders ect. I never used the A/T switch BTW but mines a TT

Run out today
Thanks all, Joel the front bumper is in need of painting. Also there are a few spots of rust that need attention. It was booked into the paint shop over a year ago now! Unfortunately my fourth autobox failed so the paint shop was cancelled & the manual conversion took place with new lightweight clutch & flywheel, new plugs & coil packs, at the same time the front jacking points got sorted at the body shop. So with running costs of around 3K + sadly the paint job at this moment been put on hold. Also it was only 6 months before this that the cam belt and all was done!. Pearl white not easy to match up!, So still work to be done. Don’t we just lorve Zeds ? Art
