Hi Steve, I'll definitly buy that ALC if its still going! Cheers Dave

oh poo, I was really trying not to spend any more money on bits this week, now I'm going to have to buy some '99 spec rears or maybe the lambo lights.... ya *******s!! :)

You could always flog your car and buy one of the stunning zeds for sale on here! 5.5k seems like a lot for a '90 it would want to be amazingly low mileage, and stunning condition for that money!

No option for being in the garage being made even better! Mods/body shop!!!

Whoa whoa whoa, sweet child of mine!! you wouldnt catch me going back to the puking, pooing, belching, crying stage! no-sir-eeeeeee , my rug rat is coming up to five now and he's cool! He's like my little flat mate, the missus moved out about a year ago and its just me and him now, very cool and lots of fun. (although he cant drink for sh1t, complete lightweight) You can train them to do all kinds of cool tricks when they are bit older pete, just wait you'll love it, fetch that spanner, polish that bonnet, wash those dishes (not the expensive stuff though!) and they think its all a game! :)

Oh he's definitly a reliable trader, he has the 160mph dials on his own car! When I ordered the dials they turned up within a day or two, I just couldnt be bothered to do the conversion!! :)

Just got it today, and finished watching it. Lovely cars, but the poor poor things getting abused like that :shock: Drifting round a track is one thing, doing a donut and burnouts???? they must get VERY hot!!! and the presenter bloke???? since when is a burnout the coolest thing you will ever do?? I really hope the saxo boys dont decide to buy 300zx's on the strength of this DVD.... all IMHO of course!! :)

You can indeed convert it by fiddling with the pots on the back of the speedo, personally i decided i couldnt be bothered and consigned the dials I bought to the bin... bugger.. :)

Guess I'll have to try to have a play with another model, the one I have does the job but the screen update is really slow (not like some of the fancier ones I've seen before) as we use a variety of different satellite and most of the installs are in the middle of nowhere I dont even have the good old sky dishes to go by as a starting point for alligning these bloody great 1m dishes!!! :) i've found its very easy to miss the damn things entirely cos the screen updates so slowly! Cheers Dave

Hi Gio, do you use a spectrum analyser for finding your satellite? I need a new one as mine is rubbish, which model do you use?

Ooooh the competition! One of the things my company supply is sat broadband, although its very much a corporate thing and a bit pricey for most home users, list prices are £2500 for the antenna, transmitter (BUC) and reciever (LNB) and the indoor unit which is essentially a little NAT router. Link speeds go from 512kb down 128kb up for about a grand a year all the way up to 2mb down 1mb up for about 4.5k a year! pricey yup! slow kind of, whatever sat solution you get its gonna have a 700+ ms latency (delay) cos thats how long it takes for your microwaves to get up to the satellite and back down to the base station (its a very very long way!) :) I seem to be spending a lot of time in eastern europe installing the things at the moment!

Oh poo, I just got A2 XFL, or with some creative lettering A ZX FL that one is much better....

Lol, no worries, I just feel like a t1t for not searching first! Thanks for the link, will be giving the company a call in the morning! Cheers

They look a bit cheap to me... could just be a naff picture though...

oops sorry....

Anybody know of a place in the UK that does a cover for the zed? Seen a few in the states but none in the UK yet.... Cheers Dave

I quite like the look of the 350 actually! (interior is b0ll0cks though) may be my next car when I get bored of the 300, sounds like they need some serious performance work doing though... (was it on here I read they were bringing out a "special edition" with extra horses?)

My understanding is that by lightening the OEM pulley you free up more horses for the back wheels! The manufactuers quote figures in the region of 2-3hp per lb of weight saved (You should be saving nealy 10lb with one of those) but a 20-30hp increase at the wheels is prob a bit optimistic. There are some dyno charts somewhere on the internet showing a 10-15hp increase at the wheels on a TT with an induction kit and aftermarket exhaust. Wouldnt think it would be such a big increase on a NA though.

Southern Fairy all the way!! thank fook for that! :)

Wasn't on the car at the time ;) was tucked away in the corner of my yard!

Will be keeping a sharp eye on the local freeads etc, fook knows what else they will do with it!?!?!?!?!? they may be trying hard to bolt it to thier saxo as I type!!!! :)

Some toe rag got a free one last night when they stole mine!

Looked like it has a single exit exhaust as it bombed past me!! :)

Bugger, Was so wasted after a heavy weekend I didnt hear the little buggers making off with my mongoose exhaust last night!!! nuts... (it wasnt on the car by the way! :) ) If anybody spots a system for sale in the Basingstoke area let me know, will pop round with a baseball bat!!! grrrrrrr.
