Nip over to US site. There's a how to by a guy called rockchucker. It's the most comprehensive one I've seen and will help you.

This isn't confined to the Z32 only. I think car ownership in general is moving away from the big ass VS kits and such and moving instead towards sleepers or tastefully subtle kits. Obviously the elephant in the room is the "stance" scene. But I choose to ignore that completely in the hope it's all just a bad dream.

I've heard of worse pension ideas! Looking forward to the pics, although I suspect I know which car it is.

Taken from a US car but it shows the bracket and inside of pod.

Carmats4u do some good quality ones that fit very well.

Build yourself an hermetic cover for it. There's a good few guides online, and it can be done on a budget. Although your garage needs to be big enough for the frame.

The track cuting is for the convertor. Never liked that solution myself as it's messy. Much better to splice into the wiring.

I'm sat here after yet another great LakeZ weekend waiting for the rain to stop before heading back home. So I thought I'd once again ask for feedback from those of you who came this year. As usual, don't be shy. Let us k ow what you think worked or didn't work. We always aim to improve the weekend so come ts are truly appreciated.

Taxed and pulled her out of the garage for the first time since Coventry in July. Lovely tappet noise and one of the wheel bearings us grumbling but aside from that she runs ok. Lakes and back this weekend then time for TLC is I can find the time.

Your Yellow wire is the one that needs soldering onto the track. Your blue on is the one that is screwed on after the track cut. Red and Green should be obvious as they are the power and earth (red and black in previous example)

Use a stanley blade to trim all the black off. Mask off the body work and glass. Paint with Plastidip if you want quick and easy, or with a satin black paint (after priming) for a longer lasting finish.

Looking at around about another £140 ish on top. VAT at 20%, import duty at 6%. General rule of thumb: If something costs $400 in the US, it will cost £400 delivered to your door in the UK. (Give or take usual margins of error).

Just turn up mate. Obviously food and drink are at your own cost. If you look at the events section there's another LakeZ thread in there with a map of the area and where to park etc

For general polishing and light swirl/hologram removal then this kit is a good start for those new to detailing http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb-soft-paint-polishing-kit-cat1.html

If you can feel the scratch with your finger nail then no amount of polishing with remove it. It'll require a respray.

There should still be space Craig. We had more space left over than we expected last year.

Postcode in post above. You might get somewhere in Grange over Sands. Have a Google and then a ring around. You might find something closer

LA11 7NU. Cark in Cartmel

Chances of anywhere being available are slim as it's Cartmel races that weekend too. You might find somewhere further out and then drI've or taxi to the village each day.

I find AG SRP to be hopeless. Menzerna do a variety of good grades which give excellent results with a DA polisher. Topped off with a good wax (dodojuice supernatural is another fantastic wax) will give excellent results.

Polish and wax are completely separate things and do a different job. Wax wise depends how much effort you want to put in. Hard waxes are a pain but give better results. For good results with minimum effort I use Poorboys black hole (it's a glaze) followed by Poorboys Nattys Blue liquid.

£480 is a bargain for airfreight. It'd cost you that to stick it in a container with most shipping lines.

Mike at MJP.
