Saw another blacken today on Lowfield Rd- dont think it was JohnnyD64. he said theres another black zed on the Village. CPV is like a little race circuit, common, lets do some lap times :tongue:

ahh well- you never know with royal mail- its only the 13th. I'll keep me eyes open. Maybe my 5 year old ate them :rofl:

Chievely 8 to 8-30 is ok with me. Thanks for the wheel deal- see ya morra

...and at least I'll have legal tyres for when the cops stop me outside bristol :dance:

Thats brilliant- you're a top bloke. Dont worry about the cheque- you know all Zed owners are trustfull honorable beer monsters! I reckon I am on fast track for divorce buying these as she had to pay the import duty on my goodies this morning- I reckon shes gonna :slap: me. I'll PM you with my address and if by a miracle I get the cash, I'll phone you before Sat and pick em up so to stop er-in-doors worrying. Cheers AL

Chievely is good. I guess it'll have to be early as the zeds kick off on the track at 10. How long do ya think it'll take to get down there, tickets and so on? Bear in my mind, I probably have the slowest zed in the south at present.

Any other Reading Zeds going? M4 Convoy?? :cool:

Any chance of them stickers? My zed needs them, I'm sure it will make it go faster!

Not wanting to mess you about, but have just check me bank and my OD is maxed out and still have my Courtesy nissan bill to come out. Things may be better in a week or two. I still want the wheels so if you like, I can send you a cheque from my lovely new credit card account and you can wait for it to clear and then I'll pick em up. PM me with your address if you want to go down that route. Having a Zed makes debt so worthwhile! :rofl: p.s. you said you would take a reasonable offer- hows £120 sound?

ok, I take it the price is for wheels with tyres together- if it is I'll take em once I got them fitted I need em 4 wheel alligned as the car is all over the road at the moment. Anyone know of good place to get that done in either Reading or Slough/Maidenhead area?

yea, they are a bit scabby- thats to suit the rest of the car :rofl: low on dosh at the mo and have mechanics bill ahead and just spent out on a fair bit of kit. Any good tyres on them wheels? as my two front are worn. I guess if they have got a couple of tyres with a bit of meat, I might buy em as it will offset my forthcomming tyre costs. Time to get the visa card out soon. Ive been resisting so far, but just ended up with a large overdraft instead :cry:

DirectLine insurance came up with a good quote and no different in price between UK & Jap spec

Heres the pic of the aircon unit- let me know if you wanna buy it

you do make it sound easy. At least I know what I'm up against now. Got the bearing from Courtesy Nissan for $108. Mike wanted £129 for his. Got a load of other stuff as well which I am not sure if cheaper + had to pay $60 shipping and £50 import duty at this end :( Still, very good service from Courtesty Thanks for the advice.

Sideshowbob- got me propshaft bearing winging its way over from the States this week. Did you get Brad to fit yours or did you have a bash at it yourself? I was thinking of having a go myself as I am now a bit short of dosh. But I guess you got to get the car up quite high to get under it. What do ya think- easy job? I've got a mate whos got a pit in his garage so that may be an option. Got all the gear to do a service as well + my EGR valve is suspect so I chucked that in the basket as well for good measure. Is that easy to fit? As always- advice for a newbie most gratefully accepted Cheers AL

just testing signiture- dont laugh- its my 1st attempt!

We're sorted :dance: Loose connection on the unit New to all this so now need to interpret it. Gauge goes from -7 to +7 mmhg Floored it on the way back and gauge read +6. Is that a good sign that turbos are in good nick? Thanks to the creators of engine by numbers- its a little gem :bow:

Thanks guys. Gauge is always to the left, so something must be disconnected. Will have a quick gander in me lunch break :mac1:

Boost gauge has never worked on my zed. Any ideas where to look and what to check first? Any help much appreciated AL

Yea all the attention in the office car park :rofl:

I fancy getting out of town to check out the action. Am I too late to grab a couple of spectator tickets in the ZX stand? If not, never mind- I guess I can just turn up on the day and pay entrance fee to have a wander round? Cheers AL :)

Black Zed on the A4 going into Maidenhead from 404M side Monday am. Me also black Zed so was trying to get behind and was hoping for a race on the dual carridgeway through the town, but you turned off. AL

Sorry couldnt make it today- will make sure I'm there next for a non-alc :duffer:

Hopefully my wife wont turn into a nagging squeak- afterall she did buy me the Zed as a present. However, with every bill, she is slowly getting the daggers out. Perhaps I can find someone who will charge the credit card bills to show up as Tesco shopping or Mothercare world kids clothes to disguise it all. Thanks for the advice. How did the meet go today? I did want to pop over today to meet ya all, but after doing Reading/Wantage twice yesterday, I've fallen behind with all me chores and now Zed is working nice, I thought it deserved its first wash and vac. No doubt I'll bump into you all soon.

Well you could go out and get a nice bank job ;) Or go down kings cross and sell ya body :cry: Not very constructive advice I know. I'm in similar position- have bought wreck of a zed and have huge list of things to do and thats before I even start thinking about mods. Need a mortgage for the fuel alone! Mine luckily does just about get me to work and back though. You're just gonna have to start selling all ya junk down the boot sale or start punting out dvd's or something just to get that baby back out for the summer. Dont give up! AL
