It's not forecast to hit as far as us Si I don't think, weather report said Northern Ireland, Scotland and the north west, possibly the east.

You have to stop being silly here, I know it may be uncomfortable but you have to report that car as stolen. What if it's involved in an accident? Friends don't disappear in other friends cars, that's called beinga thief or at the very least an ass hole. Good luck.

I think that's usdm cars joel

Bloody right! The fact that a stock long block z32 broke into the 9s in America less than a fortnight ago is testimony to it's strength, as is the fact that I drove around an NA block running 9psi without a map to suit for 4+ years! Refreshing them with a rebuild like this is nothing but common sense and giving yourself some protection is prudent.

Stock rods etc are forged are they not it's just the piston that's cast? The weiscos I think are heavier as they are more dense and there's more material this keeps things cooler and helps reduce the risk of detonation as I understand it.

I wasn't aware it was a race bud, just a fun journey :D

Don't take things that way Steve, whilst you can hit 400hp with a mostly stock setup there is nothing wrong with an over speced engine, equally the equipment you would have used to 400 should now net you more, that's a good thing. It's only the HG that people are questioning, and as Jaffa pointed out he has that very gasket without issue. You could replace them with stock without too much expense if you were concerned about it.

He means you wouldn't fit a non turbo front fascia to a tt, because it would block the intercoolers. Of corse if you had a fmic that would change things but hell the TT bumper is better looking, more aggressive.

I've stripped all the adjustable arns apart from the chromed ones and painted then a few nice thick coats of hammerite, much nicer and durable too.

Seconded, orange is the worst colour around.

Spotted this, might be just what your after? http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/111465798505?nav=SEARCH

Drift works kit then mate.

Lonezedder is correct, however repairing the blasted thing isn't a cheap option, £80 Isherwood quid per hicas ball joint for starters. I personally don't like the way it works, it's great for overtakes which is what it was designed for that and slalom work but when thing get out of line it can make things unpredictable and many don't enjoy the floaty sensation as if the rear is slipping already. If you have decided that deleting it is the way forward you have two options, a lock out bar or a full delete kit. The lock out bar simply licks out the hydraulic action, it still relies upon those worn hicas bushes and arms. The full delete kit replaces the arms and bushes to create a similar set up to how the NA is so whilst the kit is more expensive it will actually achieve what you want.

If you look down the back there are two hard pipes about 16mm diameter, you connect upto these. Have you got the preformed replacement hose?

The suffer from back problems, think how long that spine in a proportionate scale. I really like them, funny little tykes but we decided against one when we considered the health implications long term. If you want one look for the shorter ones rather than the very long bodied ones. In terms of temperament they have a habit if being hard to train and being snappy. My mrs is a groomer so she sees lots of different breeds etc, she also did lots of homework when we were looking for a dog. Have a really long think, it's quite sad really how many people buy the wrong breeds, huskies and collies etc get brought by people with no time to exercise them that live in tone then wonder why the dog is destructive etc. Working dogs are for working, if you want a lap dog that's what you should buy. What sorta of dog will fit with your lifestyle is pretty important consideration. We have a mid sized terrier, a utility dog but he is out over the feilds for at least an hour everyday and more often than not goes to work with my other half, he is thankfully good as gold.

Seen two today one in Winton bournemouth, a red one with white stickers on the rear window and the other an orange very with a 99 spec front on turbary park ave near my house. Unusual to see two in one day.

Yeh that's sounds good to me, I'm aiming around the sorts of numbers you got first time round bud, so they should be good for me aswel. Not to mention oem hg is about $100 cheaper than even the cheaper cometic one.

I will say, when you get these reports from UK and particularly US lead bodies, do not forget there are not unbiased. China selling direct is stealing from their back pocket. Remember it was good enough quality when they were making money as a middleman, now there having thier cut stolen it's inferior...with china buy careful.

That's ok bud, did the tomei ones go up in price from the cometic, I see z1 don't do the tomei ones?

That's the tomei ones I take it?

So what is thier supposed advantage? I'd already decided that stock is suitable for my application but yeah just curious.

It is certainly tight down the back of the engine, careful use of 12" long pliers does the job that's how I replaced mine, pesky pipes.

Oh I thought you were on 88mm pistons for some reason.

He's got over size pistons I believe Andrew

What the hell is the ping...that's odd.
