well i cant sleep....... it sucks... hope your car comes back ace mate, should have mine back tue or wed :hyper:

would look better in black with some nice wheels!

ok.. cheers mate, where you working on a ramp or just on a jack? i have a week off coming up and was hoping to get it sorted then.... i like to do most my own work if pos, but if its that much of a pig i may just get de-cat pipes and leave the down pipes.

so the claims are false..... oh well... cheers chris!

Is this any good people? seems very cheep to me? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8012375718&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AAAQ%3AUS%3A1

Cheers mate... did you do the down pipes yourself?

come on..... someone must have done this?!

yes please mate, would be a help

im going to have a look when i get it back, i would have needed the holes filled anyway, but that spoiler was a bit tacky, maybe go for a carbon fibber one if i dont like the smooth look, but i think it will look quite good... will just have to see!

Just getting a new one in the same style put on, as you can see from the pics its in a bit of a mess! what do you know about the bodyshop? is it a good one? the bloke there has a 300 as well so im hoping he will do a good job

Mitsubishi delica is what you want mate, my friend had one and it was awesome! full of gadgets and look ace IMO they are 8 seater and you can get a good one with about 50k for £4k they are 2.8 turbo diesel and are really comfy, you have to see one to do it justice.

Right im going to de-cat my z and pray i dont get the blue smoke... does it matter that i have a swb? or are they both the same? im also looking at getting the down pipes as well and doing all the work myself, has anyone done this and is it quite easy? cheers all :D :bow: :bow:

well i have used nankangs for the past 2 sets with no problems (elthough kwik fit fooked one) but after hearing that it does kinda make me think.. and F1's are not a stupid price either. think i may just have to go to a track day and shred them!

Cheers andy. is it likely this will have been removed? im fitting a boost controler soon and have a few other mods... but with all that back pressure surely ill be losing a shit load of power!

after reading "Back-pressure - what's that all about then?" and folowing the links there is a bit on there compairing jap-us-uk spec cars.... and on the jap one it says there is a 1.5" restrictor before main cat.... surely this is going to reduce power?!

As she was when she went in. the one that is good quality was with my old wheels, the other pics don't really do the wheel justice but you get the idea!

Well after defending myself for about a year now i have decided to take my stupid spoiler off! And at the same time im getting a new front end put on and a few other minor bodywork bits sorted out. Going for the smooth look at the back and really looking forward to getting her back next week :hyper: :hyper: Pics to follow!

started to post more recently... probably due to that fact i cant sleep! its some bloody stupid time now! and the fact that i have been re-infected with the bug and have been spending oooodls of the green stuff (although its not green in this country i know!) :D (see a talk loads of crap as well!)

Spoken to Yamez tonight and he says he should be able to make it! put my car into the bodyshop today (or yesterday as it is now) and have been told i will have her back tuesday! So she should be looking good! :hyper: :hyper:

If i had a child that came back with cuts/bruises etc... then yes i would be initially upset... but if i then latter found out why i would personally paint ball some sense into him myself.. its the soft-pussy footed-stoned idiots that call them selves parents that are to blame, you don't have to hit your child to teach it respect or manners. If they step out of line throw there favorite toy in the bin, or smash it up, they will soon learn that there are consequences. so in answer to ur final question... YES i think its fair punishment and good for him, what if your misses was at home on her own and a bunch of youth's the same size, if not bigger where knocking about running over cars and throwing paint at the house-car-etc. I know mine would be in pieces and i would be thankful for someone taking some action to protect the local community from scum like this. (steps off soap box) :D

fraid so mate! so they can all talk about how silly we are with our cars, and how the money would be much better spent on- a= wedding b= house c= clothes d= shoping e= new kitchen f= dog (or some other silly furry animal the shits everywhere!) g= anything else really! :rant: oh well, you gota love them :D

ace..... ill bring her along then!

staying with the misses tonight and had a bunch of kids about 17 turn up!! told them to sod off and get a life..... but did give some stuff to a bunch of little kids.... they had made the effort so i dont mind so much

makes me glad my z has 2 armed guards stoping any little shi*s getting to her! feel for you man, that really is crap!

did take me a while... but once you get it started it gets better, i used a oil filter chain wrench thingy as it bites into the leather to stop it sliping! Just have a few pints of stella and think of somthing that will piss you off and go nuts on it :duffer: :duffer: :smash: :duffer: :smash: :rant: :duffer: :duffer: :hurl: :rofl:
