Audi TT
Its a fashionable car. People go for them just for the look, but in 3-4 years time it wont be fasionable and no one will want them. Saying that it has already lasted a few years. When I first saw one before they where really popular, I thought it was a squashed Beetle. It is really same engine at the end of the day ;) Stuart

300zx V8
Why are people want to put another engine into a different car. To me the engine along with the ride made the ZX. Its the smooth V6 TwinTurbo which produces over 100bhp per litre and can easily be modified to over 400bhp with no problems. Why put an American engine in? It will be heavier, and not as powerful unless you turbo it. Not saying dont do it, its very hard work and it must be nice to have a completely differnt car to every one else. After the cost of the engine, parts and having some one completely redesign your engine bay, you could have bought the whole of the V8 car so why bother? Stuart

I would get your car looked at. An Audi TT is over a second slower 0-60. Stuart

My site needs your cars!
I have 1 or 2 vids of Z's stuff if you want. I have them on my site, which I never finished, ;). You want the link to them so you can put the link on your site. Saves wasting your web space too. Stuart

Aint knives and sharp glass Brilliant...
Well the problem with that was, if every one has a gun, which means disgrunted teenagers take their family gun to school and kill half a dozen innocent people. If guns where allowed, they would most likely have pulled a gun and not a knife and possibley both been killed. Even though gun crime is not exactly good in this country, it is no where near the problem in the US, where school shootings is a thing that now happens 2 - 3 maybe 4 times a year. LIke the Sniper in Washinton, could hardly happen in the UK because getting a gun like that will be very hard. You cant walk into a shop and pick it up the next week. Guns like that have to be held in a gun shop and you have to show licence, passport and gun club membership. I say I am glad guns are banned in the UK and any one found with just owning an illegal gun should be charged with consirisy to murder as that is the only reason to have one. To kill some one. Sorry to hear about your experience. But according to the Labour government streets are getting safer. Stuart

**** I hate working for a living
Johnny, was there an old Astra what came to you on Tuesday. Some plonker over too me on the road just past your place. I was doing 35 in the 30 zone and then he slowed down to 35. :confused: why? He also had a GPS sticker in the back. I would have done my usual trick of dripping to 2nd and flooring it when I see them trying, but my car wouldnt go over 2500rpm that day. An hour later I broke down. Stuart

NO, but phone round you should may be able to get it cheaper. Where abouts was this specialist? I could give you the number of a few places to try round your area. Do you own a grey Z? Did you go past a Red Z which was broken down on Tuesday I think it was. Stuart

Classic Insurance!!! YES AGAIN!!!!!
Been trying to get classic insurance for my car, so far the only one I got is Firebond for £868 which is not as good as I was expecting, considering my quote for normal cover from A-Plan was £850 :mad: Tried a few other places and refused classic because I am not 25. WTF has my age got to do with my cars age? Im not the thing that is meant to be the classic, the car is! So why do I have to be 25? I may try A-Plan but I think they say that is has to be garaged, and how many garages can fit a Z in? Not many and ours has no chance. Any suggestions people? Stuart

Traction Control
My traction control activates virtually every time I take my car out in the wet. Pulling out of tight junctions, you dont need much power to make it spin. Even when accelerating hard in 2nd gear causes it to spin sometimes. The TC controls it keeping me going in the right direction. Stuart

Boost Gauge no go
Have you checked where the turbo gauge tube goes into side of the engine? Is near the battry. Little feed which looks like a big bolt with a tube going out of it. Stuart

My New Zorst.......
No. Only very late models had them on standard, but most people put them on anyway. The official colour is the one you see but people amke their own and can use any colour. Looks good in Red and Dark Blue. Stuart

Advice on removing dealer painted name
I saw something on Twinturbo.net where some one revmoved a Twin Turbo sticker from the back only to find it etched on the perspects where the sun had faided the while area but not where the sticker was. It looked really good. Fluke though. Stuart
