Coolant hose, Boost hose, and egr delete. where to buy??
You can make the blanks for the EGR easy enough, it's the threaded but for the manifold that's a pain unless you do the fold and weld method to the tube.

Coolant hose, Boost hose, and egr delete. where to buy??
The coolant hoses, if you buy a few meters of the stuff, think it's 8-10mm something like that, you will be able to bypass the plenum water lines and replace the turbo coolant ones. That's all the same diameter. Any local motor factors will do it, I got a few meters of Goodrich stuff for pretty cheap. The water pipes for the heater matrix are worth doing. You should IMO fit new PCV hoses, getting the old ones on and off will likely result in damage and is a pain, if you have new you can just cut them off and make life easier. New ones particularly silicone will go one way easier. While your there check the condition of the EFI harness, my knock sensor loom broke so needed fixing in the process. Are you going to replace your rocker cover gaskets while your in there?

Do any of them allow you to pay monthly?

Classic car insurance without a garage
What sort of rate did you get, mine was about £200 for renewal this year, based on it being garaged.

It appears they do offer it but you have to call, what a waste of time.

Classic car insurance without a garage
I have a second car, the zed does an annual mileage of about 1500, just went right through Lancaster which then explained they don't insure imports even though it was declared as a fairlady not a 300zx arghhhhh

Classic car insurance without a garage
Hi guys, due to circumstances of change my insurance renewal this year won't include the storage of my car in a garage. Footman James who I have been with for the last 3 years as far as I'm aware stipulate that as a condition of the policy. Do any classic car insurance companies offer a policy without a garage being used? Insuring it as a normal car will double the premium to £390!

My Z is finally taking shape
They are a really weird thing, on some cars they look wrong. On other cars usually lowered 2+2s they look awesome. The 99 IMO looks wrong from a certain angle as if it just doesn't belong on the car.

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.
