couple of songs for zeds that are f@@ked smoke on the water-Deep Purple @nything by Tin Machine :D

not so much a mod...but i struggled for 40 mins to get the targa blinds in ...only to twig that they were different shapes each side... :slap:

whats all this sssssssssssssssssssssing...? some kind of boost leak?

yep...the're twits who pull out cos all that happens is motors bulid up behind you all he has done is make the lane merge happen 600 meters earlier than it needed be...why not do it 3 miles back...or in the previous county?

if its fresh off the boat the radio probably wont work here...the headlamp bulbs are different fit but can be converted for the price of a 13amp plug to take standard uk bulbs...the auto box cooler is smaller and worth changing if your gonna do high speed m-way driving on a regular basis...different spec ava import in swb/slick top/tweed...most been covered above..read the buyers guide there are links to the differences....but in the main the jap ones have bloody difficult service record to read...:D

its biggie and tupac doing......Westside....Aiiiiiiiii

look here....http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=35785 HTH

red...errm...Twin Turbo...Auto...optimax....thats it you're set...:D

become a pikey...saw an incident in the local asda car park where the men were walking towards a van and trailer with clamp in hand...he stepped out of his cab said he'd cut their throats if he found a clamp on his van...and went off to do his shop...guess what no clamp...see a little kind word here and there works wonders

class...for a rare 2 seater its even got rear seatbelts...????!!! i reckon the woman/girl is a deal sweetner...maybe she goes in the boot gimp box or she is some kind of bonnet mascot...like a jag leaper gone wrong..:D

only red has the power to stop black...almost every road in the UK has erected an idol to respect red power.... :bow:

local motor trader down here was clamped...he called up his mates within 5 mins with their own hiab and lifted the clampers van said cost you £250 to release or take my f in clamp off...worked a treat

they would leave a black motor fearing it was a dealer or gang member or summit....;)

get yourself a £1 strip of 10 x superglue from the market...look out for his van...then superglue the locks and the wiper blades and the dust caps...keep this up until you have £100 worth of satisfaction out of it...or just..buy a d-lock or cheap cable clamp and attach it to his van somewhere causing massive inconvience....save the best till last get some frozen prawns stuff half a dozen into his air vents...:D

went out for a pootle on Sat morning....lids off...nice an sunny down on the coast :cool: ....drove out of town...plenty of Londoners coming in....and to my amazement...an Enzo...(red as all fast cars are of course)...just like the one Clarkson borrowed off Pink Floyd man Mason...driving along as casual as you like...didnt recognise the driver...had the obligitory Blonde sitting next to him...but mine was nicer...:D still all in all the most expensive motor I've ever seen on the road....and it did look a lot better in the flesh than on the telly

i see black is staging a late charge....good job i can vote now :D

33yo Jap TT £550..no milage restriction..things that get a really low quote would be a garage, driveway and cat 1 alarm oh and possibly a post-code change...:D

btt...i guess your £20 is there by now...still showing registered however cheers

bump=bust.....and the answer is positive on that score

falcon has an english button somewhere on the home page IIRC...but its does translate a bit double dutch

there are some handheld octane readers...use 8oz of petrol...cost will set u back?? see here..http://www.geneq.com/catalog/en/poa.html cheers

Paul...saw this and copied from the web...HTH RON, MON or PON? Or how do you grade petrol/gas I have seen many European/US conversations claiming that one petrol/gas is better than another or higher rated. This may not be the case as different rating systems are used in different countries and so not all numbers mean the same thing. You must be careful to also quote the measurement system used To see why there are different numbers let us take a trip back in time to World War I. Aviators had a problem, many engines would suddenly self destruct through detonation, which is bad news when you're up in the air. An engine might run fine on one batch of fuel but blow holes in the pistons on the next batch. The fuels seemed the same, weighed the same and may have even come from the same factory. The fuel companies tried to analysis and standardise the petrol, but were unable to weed out the bad batches. Therefore a standard test engine with a variable compression facility was built and the fuel to be tested run through it. This heavy duty, single cylinder engine would be warmed to a standard temperature and at a set rpm the compression increased until engine knock occurred. this would give its Highest Usable Compression Ratio (HUCR). But with time it was discovered that different labs gave different results. So in an attempt to produce an unvarying standard, two reference fuels were chosen. The high reference was 2-2-4 trimethylpentane (iso-octane), while the low reference was normal heptane (n-heptane). Once the HUCR was determined a mix of these to fuels was made up that exactly produced the same results as the HUCR test. The result is quoted as the percentage of iso-octane. Hence a petrol that detonated the same as a mix of 90% iso-octane and 10% n-heptane is called a 90 octane fuel. Since that time a number of tests have come into being to simulate a variety of engine conditions. Motor Spirit is usually rated using the Research or Motor test methods. Both use the same old engine but under different conditions Motor Octane Test (MON) Research Octane Test (RON) Inlet air temperature 148.9 C 65.6 C Engine jacket temp 100 C 100 C Engine RPM 900 600 As you can see the Motor Octane Test employs a higher temperature and RPM and hence is probably a better indicator for today's engines. Of course the Research octane test gives a higher number and that's why the European manufacturers quote it (RON) The spread between the two numbers is know as the fuels sensitivity, and it is very important. Because of the variety of engines it is possible for a petrol manufacturer to come up with a fuel that has a high RON, but a lower than expected MON. Hence although it looks normal on the pump it may perform badly. However on another day the same company may make its fuel out of a different blend to get the same RON but a different MON. This is done for profit reasons and is why you occasionally get bad fuel even though it is legally rated the same. In the past with high leaded fuels nobody noticed but nowadays high performance cars do notice (The Molemobile has just had a particularly bad batch from Total, and has been pinking all week) In America the service stations use the Pump Octane Number or PON rather than RON. this is the average of RON and MON and gives a much better grade, and is also why the American gas always seems not as good as our when in fact it is is the same (and has better quality control). But even this system can be abused by adding octane boosters to poor fuel. Below is an approximate comparison chart, these numbers can vary by as much as 2 grades RON MON PON 90 83 86.6 92 85 88.5 95 87 91 96 88 92 98 90 94 100 91.5 95.8 105 95 100 110 99 104.5 So now you know far more you wanted to about RON, MON and PON. Knowing this you might begin to wonder why certain garages are always cheaper than others, and experiment with different fuels. I'm lucky, my new job has just given me a fuel card for private use, so I'm moving up to super unleaded, that way I can be assured I'm getting at least 95 RON

if you got the sun blinds clipped in underneath they can look kinda solid....but close up they are glass you'll find
