how to change bulbs in speed cluster to led info ?
I have no complaints about mine. And for £6 you can't go wrong. Just a pain taking cluster in and out each time. Although I can change them in 20 mins flat now, as I have done it so many times changing colours, bulb types, and 3 different KMH-MPH convertors! Mine are Red at the moment, but I will be changing to white during the winter.

how to change bulbs in speed cluster to led info ?
Yeah, I can't guarantee they are 100% the ones I used. My car is in bits around the in-laws so I can't even go check for you. Sorry. I'm pretty sure it's them I used though, as I had spare ones left over from the sidelights (bought a pack of 6) so I used them. The strip of LED's like Mondo has done is the best way to get the best dispersed light.

how to change bulbs in speed cluster to led info ?
I have the SMD wedge type bulbs in (4 of for main lights) it spreads the light around pretty well. Cost about £8 for all 4. Remove dash cluster, unscrew the bulb holders, pull out the T10 (501) wedge bulbs out od holders, replace with the type you have bought. Refit everything. I have similar to these fitted :http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-HID-ERROR-FREE-CANBUS-W5W-T10-501-5-SMD-XENON-WHITE-LED-SIDE-LIGHT-BULB-/201169288006?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ed69fbb46 Just be aware that if the bulbs you buy are too long, they won't fit.

best spray paint to use for trim scuttle
The stuff on my slicktop came off really easy. Don't take my word on it though.

best spray paint to use for trim scuttle
The trims that run over the roof, and down sides of windscreens are metal. You'll need to sand/scrape all old paint off (it's a rubberised paint from the factory). You can either use plastidip straight on the metal. Or if you want to paint properly you'll need to use an etch primer first. For the main scuttles, if you have the cash then buy new ones. They'll look 100 times better than any painted ones. Otherwise make sure you sand, prime, paint. Any halfords spray will do. Though paints4you paints generally have better spray nozzles. Remember thin layers - less is more!

Your clubs needs you (and your ideas!)
Yeah, ok, I admit that's a cheesy title for a thread. But it's no less true. The committee, NEO's, and REO's can sit here and organise shows based on what we think the members want, but there's no guarantee we will get it right. And whilst we can't please everyone, as NEO I am keen to ensure that all members get their say in how they want shows in the future to take shape. So give me your thoughts and ideas. What national shows do you want to see the club attend? Do you have a local show you would like to see a small club stand at? Please remember that the phrase "Use it or lose it" applies quite significantly here. If REO's are putting time into arranging a club presence at a show, then no one shows interest, then that REO is going to struggle to maintain enthusiasm for his role here. So in return for taking on board your suggestions and ideas for the future, I would like your support in the form of attending local meets and coming to the shows. I have a rough guide of the 2015 shows that I will post up later. I've made space in my inbox, so get your ideas and comments coming in.

September the 11th
I was approaching Miami on a boat when the news broke. Arrived in Newark about 6 days after, I have vivid memories of sailing past Manhattan and it just been a big cloud of dust still. Flying to Geneva today, which is now statically the safest day to fly.

Great site for tyres
Been using them for past year or so. Most of the tyres come from Germany, but are much cheaper than anyone else. They even beat Camskill.

2014 Shows and Gatherings....
The 2015 show and event season is being discussed in depth by the REO's at the moment. We hope to have a presence at all the major national shows, as well as a number of Z specific events. Once the dust has settles from this years season, I will post up the 2015 show season dates in the public areas and we'll go from there. As has been said by Ian and others, if people have ideas, then come forward with them. It's no use moaning about an event afterwards if we don't know what your expectations are to begin with. I welcome anyone to PM me with their ideas, and if you have a local show near you that you think we should have a few cars at then PM your REO who will be happy to assist you in whatever you need to get it off the ground.
