Toooo much information there Stellaz! But if that information is true, surely that means you're not allowed to drive an M3??? :innocent: Cars are like people - we admire them for their successes, but love them for their failures. An M3 doesn't have any failures as such, hence why they're difficult to love. That's my opinion anyway.

LOL - well spotted. I'm just trying to think where the fun happens... Normally its in the bedroom. Maybe stellaz is thinking of a four-poster conversion????

Any idea when that's likely to be? Maybe I should write them a letter and ask! I was tempted to get pest control in, but I can't see what harm they're doing really. I've always had a funny attitude to wee beasties, don't like killing them for no reason. :yinyang:

Is the clue in the thread title????

That looks like an M3 CSL engine bay to me!!

Probably a sense of humour and personality seeing as its German! Is it oil stains and loose wiring?

I don't think it matters.. Either way the engine is running way too hot. You've got bigger problems to worry about buddy, like why the fook is my engine melting. Whenever I'm in doubt I pull the radiator cap. If it blows water like a volcanic geiser 20ft into the air - that's about 150 degrees celsius. If it blows it 2-3ft in the air then its about 100 - 120 degrees. If it just gurgles up and overflows then its about normal running temp. Not very scientific, but better than sticking you fingers in the rad.

Hey Coolq, Ask this guy if you can borrow his big hammer - reckon that should fix the problem :hammer: Sorry to hear this bud, seems to be one thing after another for you atm.

All you need is a visual deterrent. Most theiving chav scum will just look for an easier target if they see a camera watching them. I got the biggest ones I could, the camera itself is pretty much the same size as a little camcorder one, but the box is big and empty - highly visible though. I also have two 'secret cameras' just incase someone does decide to have a go. Its all recorded onto a secure hard drive and viewable on the net also. Piece of mind.

Costs about 400 quid - you'll save that in 5 years or so. I have wasps living in my cavity wall so I'm hoping that they're little paper houses also make good insultaion, otherwise I'm gonna tape over their entrance with gaffa tape! :whistling:

Sky Insurance do not do agreed values - you might have told them that's what you think its worth, but they haven't agreed to it. I know this because I went to great lengths to try and agree a value on my car now the engine has been rebuilt (so now I have to pay another 300 quid a year, the fookers), but they would not agree to a value - they just won't.. Give em a call if you're unsure, better you find out now, rather than when you need it. I wouldn't recommend Sky to be honest.

Jim managed to fit 'em on mine! So I would have thought it will be possible on yours too.

Try MJP in the traders section for brand new. Try Jeff at Zedworld for quality used items. Might be possible to buy modified parts at places like Driftworks and Japspeed too. HTH

That's racing for you bud. The GTR would not be allowed to race in stock form due to the GT3 regulations. The Porsches and Astons etc are all the same. Even the body panels are all changed. Its all about image and marketing, nothing to do with road car racing. Porsche offer the closest relative available to the race car (GT3 RS), but you wouldn't want to live with one of their race cars on the road - it would bounce and jump all over the place. It would also be noisy and hot. Some of the technology does eventually filter back to the road variants though.

That's shit news mate. Someone tried to break into our house at 2pm on a sunny afternoon, by kicking the door down (subtle, eh?). SO I spent a grand on some high quality CCTV gear that glows bright red a night. Not had anymore trouble since then. Try not to get mad though mate, put it down to one of life's learning experiences and be glad it was only your bikes they took (even if they were worth a bit). No point stressing about the scum walking the streets today (not unless you plan on getting even, mwuhahahahah :devil:).

I disagree, all Skyline R32s & R33's are imports, most have had some offensive body 'enhancements' and nearly all of them have been thrashed (surely that's the point of owning such a car - if you don't thrash it, wtf did you buy it for?). Yet still a tatty GTR can be had for 6-8k with a nice clean example 10k and more. Although the GTR is more reliable than our fragile zeds, it still isn't bullit proof and many do suffer from lack of proper TLC. I can't see the difference TBH. As for the last comment, the fact that they are so cheap just means they get bought by people who think they can run them on a shoe string budget, then run them into the ground and sell them on death's door to the next unsuspecting muppet. And so the cycle continues. I too was a muppet thinking I could buy a 'cheap' 170mph GT coupe. No such thing. As mentioned above, they're only worth what people are prepared to pay. Note that the two most expensive cars for sale at the moment (Zelda and Sudesh's lovely '99 TT) have been for sale for some time. So too have a couple of low mileage N/A's which have been kicking about for some time. Either the sellers are asking too much, or the buyers are simply not there - net result: car has not been sold. A car is only worth what it sells for, not the asking price.

Mine oil pressur gauge reads in KG/CM3 which means sweet FA to me (the same as the Jap clocks in the photo infact). Also - my zed was from the pound-stretcher production line, so has no digital climate control, plush upholstery, or boost gauge. I really wanted my car to have a boost gauge :crying: If I were to fit UK clocks would my harness have a plug for the stock boost gauge? AND, would I then be able to remove the KMH to MPH converter and the associated electrical gremlins?

Well, wait and see - the economy could be about to go tits up again. The Eurozone looks like the next Titanic movie and the property market is flatter than Norfolk. My guess is any petrol sports car that is heavy on fuel will be worth scrap - if you're lucky. I hope that prices are on the up - but the cars have got to sell first. Whenever I check pistonheads all the adverts are 'over 15 days'...

I do this too harby - I've painted a million walls (slight exaggeration) and its always worked fine for me with a good strong finish. Makes the coats after a dam site easier too.

I've long since stopped hoping my Zed will be worth anything when I come to sell it. I'm already in negative equity by about 6 grand on this car. Fook what its gonna be worth, just as long as it puts a smile on my face - which it undoubtedly does.

Has anyone else wondered how the door will open? Cant see any clearance built into those front wings. Maybe it has Lamborghini doors?

Firstly, you've got your missus well trained Daz! I could only wish that my missus would do that someday.. Secondly, I reckon that car has belonged to some car club judging by the sticker in the rear qtr window. I can't see what it says, but the last bit looks like .co.uk or .com or somtething. Finally, yes it is a little OTT - but it seems to be well kept, which is a lot more than can be said for most zeds. I think it just needs some decent wheels to tie the package together. I don't mind the ironing board - providing it does something and isn't just aesthetical.

Any more pictures? I would like to see it from the front.. Looks tasty as hell - if a little OTT. The wheels look like there 24inch jobbies too, but if it was just toned down a little I think the lines on the wide arches work really well. Someone has done a really good job on photoshop with that!

1) people who try to push into queues of traffic. 2) people who drop litter 3) fit, able people who choose to live on benefits 4) people who shout and swear on my street 5) parents that swear at their kids 6) people who flash their lights at you when you've executed a perfectly safe overtaking manouevre 7) those ****wits that sit in the middle lane 8) people who put their fog light on at the tinniest amount of mist, dazzling people 100yds behind 9) pikeys 10) most civil servants 11) people who are unreliable 12) people who constantly moan (oh, er.. guess that's me then?)

This is a fix.. I didn't see the job advertised anywhere??? According to the equal opportunities act sect 3, sub paragraph 3.3.12 (and I quote): "moderators of car club forums may not be elected without consultation of all members with the number 32 in their user name" I vote for Janus instead because she has breasts, sorry Gary - nothing personal. Hope you didn't get your hopes up n that. Right, that's that sorted. What's next?
