I’ve got a socketed ecu for sale mate.

Think he originally planned on a NA-TT build, but he ended up selling it for fund towards a house I think.

Nah, he got a black TRD kitted NA Mk 4 Supra after the Z

God I remember that day at JapFest, Murt stuck it into the infield after aquaplaning. Seem to remember the silverstreak shearing a calipers bolt or something during the dry session later in the day

Speaking of old Members, I still see Chunk on a regular basis, he says Hi to all the old crew that would remember him. Andy Isherwood’s Car was always one of my favs. Wasn’t personally a fan of the rear light conversion, but as with most things with Andy’s car, it was very well done. Spoke to him this evening as it happens, he’s umming and aaaahing about getting another Z.

I still speak to Marco and may well be helping him rebuild his N/A engine with some fancy bits

Last MOT was in 2011 aswell

All your doing by advancing just the intake cam is adjusting the valve overlap. Advancing the intake valve opening will increase the valve overlap which in turn make idle worse, not better. Find yourself a new tuner, he’s talking pish

Yeah, it’s a bit messy up there at the moment, but that’s where the MAP sensor and Boost solenoid now live. A bit of sensible re routing and it’ll be presentable I assure you

Ok, so I’m getting a little excited now Not too shabby straight from the gun!

It’s tuesday until 6am as far as I’m concerned

Which style centre caps are you running mate? If you have a spare moment would you be willing to pop one off and measure the internal diameter of where your centre cap fits. I want to look at fitting the more modern centre caps on my 500R’s as I don’t like the type X centre caps they came with, but the 500’s aren’t listed on SSR’s website any more so I’m not sure what options I have.

Is there anyone else in the club running SSR wheels? If there is, I have a Q about the centre caps and was wondering if someone could oblige me with some information. Cheers Nick

If there is, I’m not aware of one. Limitations of what? Range of adjustment?

I used to drink Southern Comfort a lot but find it too sweet now. I’ve basically become a pirate and drink copious amount of spiced rum. Red Leg is currently my favourite to drink neat. Whiskey on the other hand, hate the stuff. Taste like the squeezed juices from an old peat farmers 4 day old sock

I’ve still got mine, I just completely forgot about their existence. They came off ok apparently so hopefully they’ll do the trick

Yep, Joely reminded me of that aswell. I knew something didn’t look right, but couldn’t put my finger on it

It’s more the recess that used to be filled by the strip. Once the spoiler is fitted, you wouldn’t see that recess as it cover it. It’s more that there’s a gap between the recessed part of the boot lid and the inner surface of the wing that you would see once the boot was opened. On top of that, I can imagine it wouldn’t take long for moisture to travel up through that gap and get trappped an the subsequent tin worm. Ideally I’d like to fill the gap and then bond the spoiler to whatever I use to fill it so no moisture can get between the spoiler and boot lid (if that makes sense)

Dropped into the bodyshop this morning.... First coat of primer has identified a couple of defects that weren’t previously noticed. They should be easy to sort out before next coat of primer and final prep for base coat of Super Black KH3 Also lined up the WinFactory spoiler. While it fits perfectly across the top and sides, a significant gap is apparent where the bottom edge of the boot is, where the Perspex strip would have lived Having spoken to Winfactory, this gap is intentional as the spoiler was designed to go over the top of the third brake light panel. A window seal type gasket has been suggested to close that gap, I’m not so sure that’s the best long term option, neither is filling it with filler. Time for a ponder

As much as I love black wheels, with the colour of your car I think you almost need a light coloured wheel to compliment the paint. I think with a dark coloured wheel would take away from the paint rather than compliment it. A nice clean and bright silver with a diamond cut lip would be my choice

Mate, it’s no worries at all. Like you said, it’s a good thing that the situation finally got me to commit to buying it. Anyway, about that OEM+ membership.....

Slippier than a greased weasel..... and a typical engineer. Don’t know why it is that great engineers/designers just suck at the customer service side of business, must be a trait they kinda genetically have

Hahah... I see what you did there :lol: Da dum tissssssh I thank you, I thank you

Pfff party pooper........... only because I told you weeks ago :P So after much consideration I decided to buy the spoiler I’ve had my eye on for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES, the WinFactory CSL-R. Despite my best efforts, I haven’t got a decent picture of the spoiler... But it should look something like this when fitted As previously mentioned, I like the OEM+ look a lot, and over the years my taste have matured a bit. I liked the “JDM”ness of the bomex wing, but it gave the car a bit of a “boy racer” image when taking the Mrs to nice venues. Something more subtle like this not only gives the rear of the car a much needed rounding off, but gives the overall appearance of a sleek sports car that the general public don’t know what it is. Surprisingly, the Mrs took a fair bit of convincing as she always thought that the Bomex made the Z, well, MY zed. But after explaining the above thought process, she came around the the idea of the CSL wing. An opportunity presented itself just before Christmas to save myself a considerable amount on postage from the states, but it was very short notice. I trusted my instincts and man maths’ed the hell out of the situation and went for it. Through no fault of our own, the postage opportunity disappeared, so i had to wait until the Xmas period was over (both FedEx and UPS wanted over EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!!! To post from around the 18th Dec until early jan). I used DHL via a third party agency and managed to get to wing delivered for £160. Best bit of all, (stand by for aforementioned man maths) I managed to sell my old Bomex high and low level spoiler for more than the Winfactory wing cost me..... so all in all this wing has cost me £140. Full of Win (factory)

The fact those Memes exist in the first place says all you need to know about Ash’s ability to deliver with any form of consistency
