TAN HILL INN - Joint Meet - JUNE 07
Resprayed my Side skirts last week. Used proper mixer aerosols and the finish is spot on. It's all down to prep and plenty of 1200 ans 1500 wet & dry between coats. Find out what make of paint Peter used originally and get same make mixed. I didn't and had a serious paint reaction at first. I was only going to touch in round the vents and ended up doing the entire skirts.

any plasterers or drylining guys
Using the Chris P widged method to hand your battens to the walls to just bellow the RSJ and then put noggings across. You then nail the board to the battons and noggings. Then use board edgins to A keep it neat and tidy and B give that little extra strength. You can use a thin coat of bonding, then mesh tided into browning edgings. Then biuld up with bonding then skim over the top. This is the traditional way (my opinion the proper way) but these days everything is dot and dab, or batton, nogging and gripofix

Anyone got one of SE's HICAS eliminators installed?
Ian "Mac1" has one. They are a copy of the Border bar so might get info of their site. Did you get those nuts I sent on Monday?? Anyway here's what I remember. Before you remove the HICAS unit. Mesure the exact length of the steering rods to the hub carriers. Then remove the HICAS then bolt the Eliminator in its place. The rose ends of the tie bars goes into the eyes each end of the eliminator with the bolt through to hold in place. Now lock up the rose end with the locking nut. Then you have to attach the rod end from the hub to the other end of the tie bar and set to correct length. Once you've done this lock this end up with the other locking nut and reattach to the hub carrier. Job done. It's fiddley but gives you the added option of ajusting rear toe. I thought of having an opposed threaded ends and even discovered that they do make a reverse threaded Rose Rod end. That way you could ajust it without having to remove the Hub end every time.

What lights fit AB Flug
Get rid of the front mount and get a couple of good side mounts. You'll get to them then. Or change the bumper to one better suited to the FMIC. Then you can sell me the AB Flug for my other car.

Nice one Si. It is a nice example without a doubt.

What lights fit AB Flug
My indicator side lights are in a similar position and I can get to them by removing the Headlamp pannel and feeling round.

Weekend Away - You decide - Vote
Amsterdam - Loverly place but you've been there plenty Mr Kirby Barcelona - One of my favourites but would leave it now till september or in the spring. Brugge - Really nice and romantic place andquite quiet at the moment because Wozzer and Jay are at home :slap: :rofl: :rofl: Budapest - Is so much like Paris was in the 1940's. Infact is often used by film makers as a location for WWII Paris. Really beautyfull. If you go you must Try the Crispy Carp. Munich - Only ever been for a few hours when I've been between flights. Seems much like most German Cities. New York - too far for a weekend Paris - lovely but very, very pricey and too busy this time of year Prague - Never been but looks fab However as already said filled with stag parties / hookers I hear Rome - see Paris/Barcelona Venice - see Paris/Barcelona + the canals smell at this time of year. This is the most cultural city in the world and boast the best Botochelli, Raphaelite and pre Raphaelite works of art anywhere in the world.

More than 4 drinks in one night and you're a problem drinker!
so that means sharing a bottle of wine every night is under 4 (about 2.75 to 3units) perday. Which is within the recomended weekly limits yet your still saying is a drink problem? Well the French, Greeks, Spanish and Italians are well scoobied. Yet these are the countries with less heart, cancer or mental illness. They are also the heaviest smoking countries in the EU. The main differences as I can see it that they eat low intensety farmed foods, work less hours rarely watch TV, spend more time outdoors and don't worry what news papers come out with.

Paris Hilton gets out
He was in a nice open prison getting stoned of his head while writting his new best seller. I could do with a bit of that, but knowing my luck I end up in a high security nick locked up with a 23 stone body building gay sex offender.

Paris Hilton gets out
Well I read every day how thieving little toe rage who mug old ladies etc get out of jail within weeks. Even when the Police can prove that crime fall dramarically when they are locked up. No sorry its just the people in the know that don't do the time. The serial criminals who know the game from their prison education with the lags, and rich people can afford good lawyers. Its just us normal people that get hammered because we're easy targets. That is all the fault of the game show host type of politcs in this country and not the fault of wealthy people or even the criminals for that matter. Its spineless half witt so called polititions who like to be able to talk in crime figures. They don't give a rats arse whos locked up just so long as they can say X number. So the easy meat gwts it.

Paris Hilton gets out
No it a futher example that people in this country are more concerned about celeberity and jelous of people who seem to have more than themselves. Personally I think she is a very sad and perthetic creature and I wouldn't p1ss on her if she was on fire.

Paris Hilton gets out
Does this really equate to news. I really couldn't care if the dumb b1tch was locked up for ever. I also heard on the news about a big brother house mate being chucked out. Poor *******s are starving in Africa. Climate change threatens the existance of my grandchildren and this crap is broadcast as news and you lot talk about it. I feel sorry for you.

Average income of a 300zx owner?
So do I and 2 kids in private school ( an experiment that has left me wondering what other than them knowing a lot of spoil decedant kids and their parents has it given them other than a better sports education) and the big un at college. You think Zeds are expensive I'd rather have the cost of running 24 Zeds.

restoring leather
I have to agree that this stuff is the best I've ever experienced. By the way the standard Leather interior of the Zed isn't black. It's charcoal grey.

Water Leak - back of engine bay
You really need the Plenum off to replace the steel pipes. If they are so corroded I have to say check all the metal water pipes and bin the plenum/ thottle body preheater pipes while you got the plenum off (as Wing suggested). Then get ready for your heater matrix to go. I'd also get a Earthing kit which will help prevent such heavy corrosion of your water sysrem in future.
