Thanks Shunter, will bear you in mind. Waiting to see how much they are new, also guess its a big too big to post. Barry

Thanks Andy for confirming that, I hadnt noticed it, but while it was up in the air, having the gearbox done, the mechanic pointed it out, its where the strap comes under the tank. Might be worth me replacing the neck at the same time. Barry

Looks like I have a small leak from my petrol tank, using the SEARCH I have found that its happened on a few UK cars, where the straps hold the tank. Does anyone know how much these are new? or should I just find a second jap tank? and is it the same? Thanks Barry.

Lol, probably not, dont drink tea or coffee! Barry

Nope, just had mine decatted today :) Barry

No, not local drove down from Manchester in the early hours of Thursday, left the car with Darren at D2 and they finished it around dinner time today. Was heading back home when you saw me. Barry

Mine is a UK TT and I have used a Manual box from a UK TT. For the whole conversion, parts and labour cost me 1150. I know AndyZ (trader on here) gets the conversions in from time to time. Barry

Just wanted to say a couple of thank you's, firstly to Darren and Daniel at D2 Vehicle Services in Rochester for supplying and fitting the manual conversion in two and a half days, also for fitting my decats. Also wanted to say thanks to Smithy, who didnt have stock of the clutch and flywheel, but got them on order and then sent direct to the garage and they arrived 24 hours before I arrived for the work done. Well impressed with the manual box, looking forward to summer now and a little enthusiastic driving :) Barry

Might of been me? was it very dirty? then yes it was me Barry

Those Rims are wheel mania rims, same as I have on mine, so they are not standard. Barry

I had better start doing a bit more overtime Barry

I know, for you it didnt work out, but hoping with just over 300bhp, shouldnt be any less reliable for me. I do like the smoothness of the auto, but always felt, you were never 100% in control with an auto.

Brakes? what would I need them for? lol But yeah your right, would be next sensible/safe mod. Thanks Iain. Barry

Chris, No, its being done by AndyZ's mechanic, as hes breaking his own car and fitting it all. Ive just posted another few questions, you may be able to help with. Can you pm me price on Koyo rad please, not sure if I will have to wait till after Xmas though. Thanks Barry

By the end of next week, my car will have the following;- Manual conversion, with RPS clutch and lightened flywheel Blitz air filter Blitx Bov's and hard pipes Mongoose Cat back Exhaust Grounding kit Carbon pads For the new year I have ready to fit Decat pipes Profec boost controller (will need to sort chip) Whats next? Doing it stage at a time, I want reliabilty over pure performance Koyo Rad? Thanks Barry

Thanks guys, I do like the auto, but found myself using gear 1 and 2 alot :) Also, the car sometimes felt quick and other times extremely quick. Wasnt sure if the autobox, was holding it back in anyway, will report back next week once its done. Barry

Thanks Andy, alread have Blitz bovs :) Barry

And how different did it make the car feel? Having mine done next week, along with a RPS sport clutch and lightened and balanced flywheel. Thanks Barry

Will catch you on MSN later. Barry

Depends where you take it :) Barry

Mike, good to see the old girl back north again. Barry

Go for it, but keep your own house and rent it out. Barry

Phil at C and S Woods in Astley nr Leigh is your man, knows the Z inside out and knows a good bodyshop local to him. They did my side skirts and did a great job. Barry

Manchester Barry.

I demand a recount! Barry.
