2fast2cool Upgraded SMICs any good?
hrm last time i ordered stuff from the us, albiet 5 years ago now things were a little more favourable i guess. i didnt even get stung on the tax. and i did spent a fair bit lol luck of the draw unfortunatly. i occasionally import stuff from hong kong never had to pay duty from there. but getting back on topic guess the only way to test them is to try them get the pre and post charge temps vs stock.

http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_22&products_id=71 admittedly the exchange rate isnt the 2$ to the pound it was a while back its still only $600 so after tax etc your probally looking at around £400 japspeeds price is £350. pretty close in comaprision the greddy or stillebn pretty close price wise.

Widest tyres on a z?
im no expert, there are those on here that will know far more on that subject however i would of thought if you have too much grip at the rear in comparison to the front you would get understeer. how much relivance that would have to your driving style i dont know.

seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!

seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
right took it for a whiz this evening, MUCH better. Runs much smoother however there is white/bluish smoke on the over run. and occasionally if prolonged idling like behind a red light a puff of white might come out. the first pull on boost chucked out loads of crap. but the more i boosted the less there was. i think a leakdown test may be in order. and il try to get some videos of whats going on on here over the next week to help with diagnosis.

Bodykit
do you mean the tailgate tub giving a straight rear window? if so its often known as teh bath tub as it tends to fill with water not a good mod.

seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
right took it out to get some fuel today first drive in over a week. alot smoother on take off but not perfect need to check the actuation of the neutral switch and the timing. idle is far far better. smoke is still present however it now smokes far less. i only get smoke on boost intermittently, and on intial pull away after prolonged idle. im gonna take it for a proper drive this evening after dinner get it warm and burn the accumilated crap out the system see if that futher improves the issue. :D fingers crossed but im still fairly convinced that the turbo rear oil seals are on the way out.

Nice find
oh yeah looks like your car was previously red, jokes nasty find. but at least your fixing it. bit of patience its not a massive job really is it. im dreading the day i have to do mine they seem fine atm but who knows whats going on behind the outer sill. my capri did the same by the time id finished cutting out the rot there wasnt much left of the sill.

Coil overs fitting...

Don`t you just hate it when you wash your car....
that is bloody annoying and then the polish goes all smeary i have the same issue with the rear window get little puddles on the corner. :/ i hate it when ive just done my manual conversion and the car starts smoking from an unknown source out the exhaust and puts you off driving it. i also hate it when the red light light comes on saying feed me more petrol.
