My Z is finally taking shape
What about the horseshoe? I actually think 99 front fascia 89 rear spoiler is perfect blend.

My Z is finally taking shape
Yeah it's completely different! It's a really nice car you jammy bugger. Arch rolling needs sorting on mine ATM, too much camber and I need that extra 10mm to straighten up.

Planet of the fish
There actually a family rather than one species, there are tough breed well and put on weight quickly. Because of this they have been released worldwide, giving rise to other issues. The issue of non native fish breeding in the wild is really a bit if a unspoken environmental disaster. Snakeheads, Nileperch and the walking catfish are some prime examples, there are some really rubbish things going on presently that just go under the raydar due to lack of fur and the cute factor as well as not being attributed to the cash cow of global climate change. Even our British waterways are a state, we keep getting told about improving water quality yet fish stocks continue to dwindle, prey fish such as the humble Roach are significantly on the decline, for example 50 years ago on the stour a good match fisherman could expect a bag of 100lb on a days fishing, comprised of barbel and chub. Now a bag of 30-50lb is exceptional, the barbel you may only catch every few sessions if your good, if your average less than 10 fish per year...but hey as long as they get HS2 and those silly little gee whizz cars in London who cares about actual environmental policy.

Exactly that, colour forms shapes etc. Very similar to pedigree dogs. They are often a minefield when small, a 3-6" fish may chamge dramatically as it grows making it from expensive to cheap, the converse rarely happens, this is the reason why large fish quickly amass value. It could take 100s of black and white koi to give a show winning Shiro bekko. We had a few nice fish once upon a time, it's something is like to try again when I have the space. - - - Updated - - - The Talapia are probably wort more to the locals as a food fish.

The right fish is worth bigggg money, the wrong fish is literally worthless.

What did you do to your zed today?
A missing bolt, two tyres and the wrong emission test, not that really.

genuine 99 spec front bumper and all the trimmings value
£200 for a genuine 99 spec with lights is good but any day if the week, wish I had the cash for that right now.

Check this out! A shopping centre has been abandoned and overrun with koi and other fish. http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/mobile/content.php?sid=6451

What did you do to your zed today?
I must admitt that the axle stands on blocks if wood and unequal heights causing the car to be lop sided did make me a bit nervous looking at it. Be careful, if it cones crashing it down it will either a lot it not at all if you get what I'm saying.

FAO "Simply Japanese" @ Beaulieu attendees!
Supermarket snobbery...haha. If you think tesco is bad you may wish to try Iceland or ASDA on a busy Saturday I can virtually guarantee you will leave with a strand of chav flu. I can also recommend a local Tesco so far up its own arse they would look down on the queen. I point blank refuse to do ASDA of a weekend, we do LIDL on a Sunday morning as early as possible which is never too bad. On subject though, yes the tesco branch doesn't open till 10 due to Sunday trading so will be virtually empty at 8.30am

Anyone needs a cheap Veyron? :)))
Why can't they ever make the bloody wheels look right in these kits? There's a fakerarri near my in laws, it's a piece seriously. The fact that the wheels are about the same size a fiesta really highlight the fact that it isn't right. The kit itself it's alright and could have been finished to a much higher quality. The rude height and brakes are laughable as well.

FAO engine boffins
Hellraiser had a very similar issue, on his track car. All sorted now, so hopefully he will chime in. I wasn't involved in that escapade though so can't really offer anything other than that.

You will confuse the crap out of your car pulling the ECU temp sender, it decides when it's safe to adjust timing, fueling and I believe even boost. You will either have to do it properly or not at all, it does come on after a certain temp anyway.

Picture Request, Engine Bay
The fuse box can be relocated, few people have done it. Many choose to pop it down where their aircon compressor used to be. Or on the other side of the wing, I believe Andy Isherwood did the latter.

The other option I've seen is up by the brake booster. Don't like the idea of trailing the PS line up past the turbo though...

Nicely done mate, I think mine will get a similar treatment once I delete the hicas.

Restoration of the green Zed
Shocking what can be hiding, I want my arches rolled as well, hopefully it won't show something up.

What did you do to your zed today?
That's coming along really nicely now mate, keep plugging away.

What did you do to your zed today?
What was in there before? Once you take the fascia plate off I bet life will become clearer.
