friday

Cheers man! Nice to see a few people I know on here! ??

Thanks! ?

Cheers Tony! Crohns has been difficult these last few years tbh but still managing to stay vertical the majority of the time so mustn’t grumble. Music stuff is still very much front and centre, but like everyone, coronavirus hit us hard. Tours were cancelled and pretty much everything got put on hold so I’ve just been keeping busy writing for both the next album and a new electro side project. Really missing playing live though. ?

Cheers Si, Gaz and...um...Nips ???, appreciate the welcome back lads! ?

Cheers Nick!

Thanks man ?

Been away in the world of LR Defenders for a while now (currently on my third ?) but thought I’d resurrect my membership and say hi. My LWB TT is gone, the VH45DE conversion got sold part way through as I needed the money, the spare shell went around the same time and I’m now down to our LWB NA (not to mention a metric fvck-tonne of spares ?) which has been off the road with electrical issues for quite a few years now. Just need to find a decent Z specialist to get her back on the road! Leigh.

Selling my Wizards of Nos Street Blaster 150i kit with bottle. I originally had this as part payment on some Zed parts quite a few years ago and it was sold to me as fully working although I've never fitted it to test. I'm happy to admit I know absolutely nothing about Nos kits so I've been in contact with Wizards of Nos themselves and, in their words, these kits are pretty rock solid and retain their market value as even the newer kits are essentially the same design. According to the rep who had a look over the photos posted below it appears to have been professionally modified to turn it into a twin nozzle system. There's also a Minimax controller circuit-board/digital display (maybe it lived in a custom dash pod?) and a TPS unit. The advice I was given and which I'd pass on is that the seals could do with checking, aside from that he saw no reason why it shouldn't be good to go. As a side note, WoN were also willing to rebuild the Minimax controller back to "off the shelf" spec but that's best left to someone with the time and the inclination! These kits brand new (which this isn't!) fetch between £550 - £650 (the bottles alone go for £118 ex VAT) so if you're thinking about adding some nitrous grab a bargain here for £350. As it's being sold with a gas canister, although it's empty, I imagine there are a fair few rules regarding safe postage so I'm asking for it to be collected from my home address in Solihull. If you want to arrange your own safe (and legal!) courier then I'd be happy to package it up. Cheers, Leigh. SOLD

Cheers Si! Great to see another friendly face and your Zed's looking good chap! :)

In that case I'll drop Nick a line on Facebook, cheers! :)

Many thanks for the info Mark. As much as it would be an obscene amount of fun I think our remaining NA (my wife's!) is best left unfettled as our plan is to return it back to factory spec so this kit will definitely be going up for sale. Speaking of bottle's, I did a bit more hunting today and it turns out that I still have the 11lb bottle it came with which is a bonus.

Noted. Cheers for the interest. Right, well I seem to have got the majority of my questions answered a lot sooner than I expected. A Wizard of Nos rep has just been in contact (at gone 1am in the morning...now that's customer service!) - apparently it's an older Street Blaster 150i system that appears to have been professionally modified to turn it into a twin nozzle system. There's also a Minimax controller circuit-board/digital display without its casing (maybe it lived in a custom dash pod?) and a TPS unit. The WoN guy seems quite interested in it and is being pretty helpful but still digging for info on price etc.

Around the time I was doing the VH45DE conversion I was buying and selling a lot of parts to get everything I needed and at one point I ended up with a Wizard of Nos car-kit as part payment on an item I was selling. My health got worse, the project got canned and a lot of the parts got put into storage. Fast forward quite a few years and whilst having a clear-out I come across the same kit, exactly in the same condition I'd left it (dry storage, even temperature etc.). I've got absolutely no idea what I've got or what it's worth, if anything, so I'm trying to do a little digging. I've just reached out to WoN on their Facebook page but I was wondering if anyone on here could also shed any light on what I've got? It might be pennies or it might be a few bob but either way, once I know a bit more it'll be going up for sale!

Here we have a bit of a rarity in the UK: an original URAS Bonnet Vent originally sourced for my V8 project car, the same as was used on the SPL time-attack vehicle. There are cheap copies to be had but this is an original item made so it flexes with your bonnet and doesn't crack (which the copies are prone to doing). It's an import only item which I brought in through a mate in Saitama a few years back - I didn't get a chance to fit it so it's been kept in storage, still as new as it was when it first arrived. Mould onto your bonnet or rivet it on if you're a double-hard b@st@rd. £120 collection from Solihull (could arrange P&P if you absolutely can't collect). SOLD

Rear 4 Pot, Round Tail-Light Conversion from my old LWB. Taken from the original accurate mould waaaaay back in 2004. Primed but could do with a tidy up as it's been in storage. £80 collection from Solihull, West Midlands.
