??inside tyre wear-Rear only??
It could also be tracking. Too much toe out would lead to inner edge wearing.

That may be a Mod only option.

Sorry, I had no intention of donating ~£100 to MicroShaft for a test system ! ;)

NZR - Replacing PC processor
In most cases this will work. You may need to reconfig the BIOS (as Stu suggests) to set the new clock speed etc.

Clutch slave cylinder...
Mine is done with the shortcut method (more or less). Having the bleed nipple at the highest point allows the air to come out rather than stay trapped in the cylinder. Never personally heard of a knackered slave cylinder but I wouldn't rule it out. Question I suppose is, Was it working when the donor car was broken ? Probably ... While you're faffing around down there somebody made up a batch of braided clutch lines, much better than the rubber or solid ones.

Tatton Park
If his was the red one with the silver flames then I saw it. No fans for the front, no exhaust gas sensor in the pipes, warm muggy day - I would have been scared ! Rev'd up ok, didn't sound great though, and the smoke from under the bonnet ....

Tonight i will be........
I've seen what's in Russ' shed and it didn't look much like a Barbie to me. In fact if there was then she would have been on the menu !

Halfrauds - 300 doesnt exist??!!!???
Champion C109, they also do a Halfords own brand but I wouldn't touch it. If you find a decent motor factor (I use MotorQuip) they will have a suitable filter and hopefully Morris 10/50 fully synth oil.

Clutch slave cylinder...
It's very easy to get air trapped in the slave cylinder, especially if you don't have the additional external bleed tube attached (I don't). I found that the best trick is to unbolt the slave when you bleed it and turn it such that the bleed nipple is at the highest point. Obvioulsy, you also need to stop the piston being pushed out too far.

petrol fumes!!!!!!!!!!
There is one short hose that Smithy doesn't replace, it's towards the back of the plenum, just on the passenger side of centre IIRC.

Cooling system
Yes, that is normal - and you shouldn't remove the rad cap when it's hot !

Speedo wiring (removing converter)
Somebody must have a diagram for wiring up a speedo convertor. And I'd also like a scan of it up on my site ....

Anyone know what Chip this is
The description of changes looks suspiciously similar to that of JWT's. Also that pic is not of a 1989-1994 Z ECU - probably doesn't matter as it's just a pic ! Some good info on that site though. The PCV relocation sounds interesting - shame the detail is missing.

mytyres.co.uk - excellent price & service
You do need to add £10-12 per tyre for fitting though.

mytyres.co.uk - excellent price & service
I have used Lepsons in the past and they did a fine job. Try Spit n Polish, they're in Tonbridge and I've also sucessfully used them.

What do you want from the site
Spell checquer is definitley a gud ideer. Club email addresses are already "on the cards" Maybe I don't understand, buy why do we need a chatroom when there is MSN, Yahoo etc ? We do need to be a little wary of bandwidth issues, but aside from that, keep the ideas coming in.
