friday

Cheers mate :) Forgot an important part though (head is full of cold at the moment and can't think straight!): it needs to be a 12V, TFT screen that uses around 50W ;)

For a PC (hence "monitor" in the title ;)). I don't have a fixed budget in mind. I'm happy to pay for quality but like everyone else I'll try and hunt out the best deal I can before I do. Why? Did you have something in mind then?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good quality 15" screen? Looking for something that is preferably wall mountable, with no in built speakers and that is as slimline as possible. A 14" screen would be perfect but I don't think there are many of those about unless you guys can point me in the right direction? Cheers, Leigh.

If only George had written a script as good as this! :rofl: :D http://americaninlebanon.blogspot.com/2005/07/backstroke-of-west.html

You need to talk to John Dixon mate, he's an expert on the field...and he's local too! ;) HTH Leigh.

I'm in the process of getting the spec together for a two screen system that has the works as one's being installed in my car (it's being put together by one of the guys who runs one of the UK Cap PC forums). I'll post pictures of the end result when finished. Simon (pk1): haven't heard back from you about the screens mate. Did you get my email? I'll be coming to you for the power supply soon when the shopping list for the Carputer project is finalised ;) Leigh

Lol! Sorry lads, those pics are strictly for my eyes only! :D Though she has said she wants me to take some of her with my Zed when it's finished...:D ;)

Lol! Why not mate? :D Afterall I originally posted it in General along with other pics of my new alloys when I got 'em. Lucie does some modelling so she's used to having her picture taken...you should see the others I took...Lol! :rofl: :D ;)

Because I don't like the elastic power delivery of turbo'd cars, one of the reasons why the swap is happening. The smooth, linear delivery of a N/A V8 is very appealing (TBH I'll probably be more than happy and not want to go down the FI route in the end).

At least two guys on here will be having different mounts made up so the engine will sit lower. And regarding the supercharger, at least one won't be going down that route as he's bored the 4.5litre engine out to 5L and is turning it into a 9500 rpm screamer and the other has been in contact with a couple of guys in the US who are trialling a supercharger for the VH with a view to fitting one much further on down the line. ;) Leigh

After seeing this: for some reason I have a strange urge for Fruit Salads... :rofl:

If you're serious about an engine swap take a look at the VH45DE. If you search on here you'll see a couple of people are doing it ;) Also look on http://www.hybridz.org and http://nicoclub.com/ for more information. Leigh

When the turbo's kicked in we gained so quickly I was almost sitting next to him! Lol! Seem to remember he also gave us a friendly wave of acknowledgment so Beemer drivers can't be all bad :D Leigh

If my mate in Japan comes back to me with a good price/sponsorship from Top Secret/Roberuta then I'll be definately getting them. Really nice set-up bud ;) Leigh

I posted an interesting use for Googlemaps which can be used on Google Earth as well (I'm looking at it now): http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=48164&highlight=area Area 51 anyone? ;) :D Leigh

Anyone changing their suspension set-up? If so the info would be appreciated! (I know it's a little obscure!;)) Leigh

Oh yes...lovely bit of kit: http://www.stackltd.com/streetdash1.html Would love to have one of these in my custom dash but they're sooooo expensive. Leigh

James mate, it looks fantastic! Just gutted I didn't get to see it in the flesh on Saturday at JAE! It's got to be so satisfying to have designed how you wanted it to look and actually make it happen! As has already been said it's eye catching but subtle at the same time...good work fella I'm well chuffed for you! :D Leigh.

As above. Anyone know? :) Cheers, Leigh.

LMAO! :rofl: Got something in common with your wife then as I'm from there as well! :D And the years of electro shock therapy did wonders in eliminating any trace of my "Brummie twang"...:D ;)

I'd love to have the skill to do that mate! I always look at people like yourself and Steve (Bodywork Plus) and wish I could do the same kind of stuff! I'm an artist for my sins (no steady income but I enjoy it!) and although I mostly get commissioned for paintings these days I used to do a lot of sculpture and installation/film work so although I'm not used to using fibreglass it's kind of similar in a way...always get a buzz seeing something take shape!

Lol! That sounds like three weeks of fun to me! Reckon he'll notice there's no tread left on the tyres when he comes back? :rofl: ;) Thanks for the offer of help mate, it's really appreciated, I may just take you up on it! ;) I'm going to town on the interior as she's been taken up as a showcar for Bodywork Plus (a trader on here) and between the two of us we're turning the Zed into a bit of a beast...totally custom inside and out with a damn great V8 powering the lot! :D Is that your business then? Never really looked at buggies before and some of those in the Gallery look madder than a bag of badgers! Nice!

You'll HAVE to introduce me...when the missus isn't round obviously! :D ;) Good news about the Beemer mate, bet you had some fun today ;)

Lol! I know the feeling! :rolleyes: ;) I looked like I'd been attacked by a bag of flour the other day, the bloody stuff gets everywhere...and I mean EVERYWHERE! :rofl: Always wanted to get into designing/making bodykits myself...are you building from scratch or modifying an existing one mate? I'm currently dreading doing the doorbuilds!

Welcome to the forum Gran :) Mind me asking how much the conversion cost? Cheers, Leigh.
