Fuel consumption
They reward 80mph cruising. I've had 30mpg out of mine on a few occasions, I've also done like 10/12mpg average over a journey.

Oh i've got to the point where I now find myself going fishing in the most out of the way places, just to find some space. I even use the self service tills to avoid speaking to human beings, i'm quite unsociable most of the time hahaha. Not with most people anyways, with the right people im happy as larry, im just of the opion that most people are a pita and need my personal space lol.

I was talking about this to the mrs the other day, it confuses me. If you have a fast car ora posh car people say oh he's compensating or he's a show off..Why can it never be as simple as he likes to go fast and enjoys driving sports cars? I never take mine out to cruise down town and get looks, I take it out somewhere quiet and enjoy it for me. its weird really.

Yeah my father in law had a manual one at one point, he recons he could spin them up in forth lol. He's had loads of yank cars, most recently a 78 trans am which was a serious kick in the sack. Went out in it a few times, the theatre is amazing but they don't go/stop very well lol. He wasn't using it and they are huge and I was taking up so much space, so he sold it. This one of the reasons why I couldn't part with the z for one, because the zed has the looks but also has the go gos, sure it lacks a little theatre, but in the early hours hitting the corners and building full boost out of a sweeping corner before backing down, you don't want anyone to see you anyway hahaha

Is there a write up for removing a/c?
Its a fairly common practice as its only way to remove the engine without having to re-gas the AC. Unfortunately I have no memory of doing it, must of to pull the block as iirc it was sat on the sub frame. Its likely that gaz did that for me when I wasn't about. (my car was in his lock up when we pulled the block and he lots of bits for me when he had the spare time)

I was so close to buying a black iroc-z just like that, I had the cash for that or the zed, the 5.7l one was hard to find fo rthe cash I had and in the end the whole being on the wrong side really ruined it for me. I regretted my choice after my zed blew up and I still love that shape of Camaro along with the corresponding shape Pontiac. If I could get a 5.0l one or the Pontiac now for the right money id have one in a heartbeat. I couldn't part with my z32 for one though, so it would have to be CHEAP. We should have a summer cruise out through the forest this year, oh wait we already are :)

The area we had last year had the bank for us to pop the cars on and use as a sitting area, ad the front of it is the tree lined main prominard.

You will have to leave the greater London area I'm afraid. As said jimmers the closest in avonmouth. As for meets I wouldn't worry it's really not like that, I've turned up with different wheels at the front as to the back, no one took the piss.

Hi from Kent!
Glad you have finally got it, yeah bin the short shifter! Replace the stick bushes and rubber gaitor as well while your at it. (The gaitor splits and you get a noise in 2nd and 4th, it's a big whirry gearbox) Just check, I'm sure it's fine but check the car is charging it's battery, the alternator is down at the bottom so viable to water/salt etc damage. Worth the quick 2 second check.

At the firewall are two nuts where the pipes and connected in a compression joint. So no need to cut. With your battery out you will see it. To remove the ac rad and compressor will likely mean removing the water rad and anti roll bar btw.

Z1 would probably be your best bet for a new seal set.
