  1. I'd think I'd rather not know they were bodily fluids........ ........why do you ask? :confused: Richard :smw:
  2. Quote by Homer Simpson.... ".....I always wondered if there was a god. Now I know there is, and it's me!........." :tongue: :xxx: :rolleyes:
  3. My car averages around 220 miles between fill-ups. I drive 9 miles eah way to work, first half on dual carriageways (but engine cold for most of that) then the next 4.5 miles urban. On the way home, I sometimes press the go pedal a bit more, as the car is warm by the time I reach the dual carriageway!! :slap: On a run up to Yorkshire last Sept I got over 300. I was doing over 90 on the M1, then a thrash across a few interesting B roads.... Richard ;)
  4. Apparently the latest thing in children's nightware has been unveiled today....... .......it bears more than a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson's hand........... :x:
  5. ....Apparently the winkle picking contest was so successful this year, that next year Morcambe Council is opening it to all asylum seakers........
  6. Good luck mate...
  7. LMAO........ :shock: And women say us men are no good at "multi-tasking" Richard :dance:
  8. Unlikely, unless your wheel alignment is very slowly moving out of true...... Do you have the correct boss, ie with the HICAS sensors, for your after market 'wheel? If not the HICAS will not function properly, so the rear wheels may not be in the correct position owing to no signal being received. Also I believe the 'wheel must be set 'straight' again to ensure the HICAS receives the correct signal. Richard :smw:
  9. Sounds like it's running too rich........ The tips on my (stock) system were black when I got the car and after cleaning, got dirty quickly again. However since I changed the PTU and temp sensor, the tips of the pipes now stay clean. Richard :)
  10. Hi Matt Is it actually coming from the engine or could you be hearing it through your speakers? I get a whistle which is quiet or loud depending on throttle position, but it goes when I turn the stereo off! It's been suggested here that I have a bad earth connection somewhere in the hi-fi wiring, but I still haven't fixed it yet :rolleyes: Richard :)
  11. Hi Matt I just read the road test comparison in AutoCar mag (Supra tt v ZX, 3000GT, Pork 968, BMW M3, RX7 - all stock UK cars) I know the RX7 is smaller/lighter, but the UK version only has 230ish BHP. They had the ZX ahead of RX7 over the 1/4 mile (IIRC, only the poopra was quicker). If imports have a lot more BHP I guess the RX7 may have the edge? Richard :)
  12. Why does it take so long to get served in chinese restaurants in Morcambe? Because you have to wait for the staff to wash up..... Morcambe council decided to improve their sea flood defences in anticipation of forthcoming bad weather. Inspectors had noticed several chinks in the sea wall and floodgates.......
  13. A new monk arrives at the monastery and is assigned to help the other monks in copying texts by hand. He notices, however, that they are copying from copies, not the original manuscripts. So he goes to the head monk and points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all subsequent copies. The head monk says "we have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point my son." So, he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original. Hours go by and nobody sees him. One of the monks goes to look for him. Hearing sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, he finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying Asked what's wrong, the old monk replies in a choked voice, "the word is celebrate"
  14. Hi Matt A stock ZXtt should be quicker to 100mph than a stock RX7 (new shape TT), but only just ;) (Autocar had the ZX only about half a second ahead over the 1/4 mile). However the ZX, being more of a GT than an outright sports car, is set-up for more comfort so you may not always feel how quick it really is. Richard :smw:
  15. Heh heh, I posted a reply just to keep it going......
  16. Originally posted by snurdf: I would say not! The second figure is the viscosity at high temperatures. the "30" part is too low for a ZX due to the high temps reached in these engines. I would use a minimum of "40" say 5W40 or 0W40. HTH Richard
  17. Originally posted by snurdf: Oh yes! I fitted these to my Supra (yet to do it on the ZX) and they eliminated all sponginess and gave the pedal a much more positive feel. Richard :smw:
  18. Do you know why the Irish called their currency (pre Euro, of course) the punt? Because it rhymes with bank manager :slap:
  19. Heh heh.... :dance: Treat your zed like your woman..... get inside her twice a day and take her to the limit and back... :tongue: :dance:
  20. You could also contact Kent Terry at http://www.jap-city.co.uk He used to be a trader on here a while back. He's a nice guy and only imports decent cars. He's based around camberly/aldershot way (off M3) Richard :smw:
  21. Hi Zevans That front end looks good - very few like that! :cool: . I'd say it may have been based on a Porsche 928? - those lights are straight off the 928 series 4+ cars ;) Richard :smw:
  22. Posted by Kia99 Not if you've just nicked it :tongue:
  23. Don't care.... I agree totally with herman on this one Richard
  24. RichardS replied to a post in a topic in General Discussions - Non 300ZX
    In general, all UK cars had leather. But there are a few without it, JAY300ZX has one! I suppose if the person who bought it new didn't like leather (there are some) then he/she may have specified cloth. :confused: Richard :)
