a very sad day
I've recently, as in I moved in just over a fortnight ago brought my first house. We were short on a few grand, I had to face a choice of an easy option, as all my family were telling me of sell the zed. Or find that cash else where. I thought long and gRd about it and realised to get what I'd want and need roughly £3500 for my car it was going to take me 3/6 months to sell it. In 3/6 months I could save the money, the zed stayed. Your in a different position however, the cash is coming your way. Is it enough to solve the issue though, are you on a set time scale? Would you simply be robbing peter to pay Paul? If your going to end up buying another you will effectively be in debt to yourself! I say keep zeding you need something nice to focus on aside from boring house crap.

Hellraisers is a really nice red.

Red was the colour chosen in the design stages to show the lines best in any light, the designer actually traveled the world to see the effect if different light on the body shape in different colours.. Hence sooo many red z32s. Orange is a hateful colour, it's created by an almost as ugly colour yellow, that dirty love child is orange! Be content it's only law for the indicators to be orange, otherwise it would infect everything yuk.

Ditto not even doing 20mph and it kicked out fair bit of opposite lock to get it back. Completely out the blue aswel bone dry road. Just stone cold tyres I think. Be carefull guys the roads are shit ATM. My van is absolutely filthy with mud and salt.

300 zx major miss firing
So you have a permanent miss on several cylinders? Or is it intermittent? When you accelerated hard did you get any black smoke? I would guess either you have a fuel fouled plug caused by a rich map or a vac leak. Hence the poor starting and loss of cylinders. Just gotta start at the bottom and work out what's missing. There used to be a member in London that worked on zeds, I think he still does by the name of silver bullet. He may be your best bet, or powerzed is in avon mouth, near Bristol straight down the m4 which isn't too bad.

Who can make this?
I don't personally like it, reminds me of a Saab. Anyways, Andy Isherwood had a custom one piece pannel made, it housed some 4 pot lights, same idea though. I think the way to do it is get a piece of acrylic or Perspex cut to shape/size, then painted the black sections in. Then 4 led strips worked in behind. Two red, brake light and tail light followed by indicators obviously a short strip each side then a final one bottom centre to create a reversing light.

a very sad day
Was that front made mostly of fibreglass? The wing is missing but the side skirt is still on... Strong glue lol. From pictures I recon that looks worse than it is. They will right it off, but guessing the sill is straight as the skirt looks happy, just those front cross members to be concerned about. Rear quater looks cosmetic from the pic and you probably snapped/bent the lower arm or and subframe been there done that. Were you going fast?

I'm not used to this......
Good old vauxhalls, was it generally a pain? We had a cavy when iwasca nipper it broke down at the drop of a ht, I then foolishly had a corsa for about 18 months, omg what a piece, it literally fell apart in your hands it had only done 45k when I decided the thing needed to go. Work brought a few Astra vans and a hatchback Astra they are al hated. They often look so smart though, the vxr8 was on my wish for a while but I've since re minded myself I won't buy another vauxhall. What a royal pita Richard, hopefully it is ask pale fix, I make a rule of carrying a basic tool kit but I doubt you would have had much use for one . I recon the the pump is dead.

Adjustable rear camber arms..?
Which ones dave? Stock fronts are fixed? I didn't think that those type were very popular for reasons I can't think of.

99 spec lightweight bumper :)
Is love to have a good look over your car one if these days mate.
-
Adjustable rear camber arms..?
Trouble is with just replacing the bushes dave is they're not adjustable. If your beyond the stock settings, it might be firm but it will still be in the wrong angle. :( Most of my underside will be being treated to energy bushes, but I need aftermarket front and rear arms.

Rollcages
I half expect them to say no lol.

a very sad day
I remember mine whipping round on me causing my front end to end up in the inside lane infrint if a lorry, somehow luck I guess the car straightened out. Blink of an eye, the lorry driver probably shit himself as much as I did. They're unpredictable cars at times. The main thing is though your ok and no one else was involved. They do seem to look after the passenger well.

99 spec lightweight bumper :)
Is this a one off? Will it make the construction weaker? Ie more likely to explode on a bump.
