Thread Closed!!!! lol!! Club suggestions??
thanks guys for your kind words, i think we should also do an anual magazine. few articals from club members about their cars history etc. few pages with zeds in action aswel, would be great to recieve a nice little glossy magazine with photos of meets and race events. maybe some trader adverts etc. im not talking about a feature length 200 page magazine, but 20-30 pages possibly. i for one would look forward to this turning up once a year. be nice as a mometo thing for members aswel. obviously the magazine would be paid or by the club, and only subscribed members would get it free. at christmas maybe? just a thought.

Re-powdercoating a polished plenum?
you could scrub down respray with high temp paint but tbh for the quality and cost would prob be better to just blast and powdercoat

Thread Closed!!!! lol!! Club suggestions??
sorry if this has already been mentioned, but with the cash discussed earlier, would it niot be prudent to invest it. ie im thinking, we should do what many other clubs do capri club etc...when parts go out of circulation which is ocuring more and more the club should invest in there patterns. im thinking back to a recent thread about the cost of repair pannels for sills. evenually these will only be available as non genuine parts. so the club could buy the rights to remanufactures items such as this over time and form an actual club shop. face it guys the cars are 21 years old now in some cases, so parts are gonna be getting short on the ground soon, investment in the patterns for parts is the only way to ensure the long term survival of the mark.

Nissan Rot
Simple really,the targas drain down though here eventually the drain ****s up rots out and begins pouring water into the sill. Then if you take a look at the rear wheel well you will notice a, little shelf where dirt and salt collect from the tyres spray. How can you prevent it? Keep the underside clean and wax oiled and keep an eye on the drains. Sadly if the car gets wet often its inevitable really its just a case of how long

classic muscle cars
my father in law has had a long line of cameros firebirds and transams(all teh same car uneath interestingly) and several buicks and silly pink things. his freind has a small collection of all things yank. he once asked him how he decided which to drive to each show. the reply was simple. "which ever starts first." the trans am he had most recently a 1978 in bklack and gold, housed a 5.7 litre chevy engine the 6.6 litre block had be swapped out and this tunned little block dropped in. well i can honestly say i loved it and i will be buying one at some point in my life, but as a daily idea, its a no go. once you have one you will realise why, you cant park it anywhere. not only because people will want to steal, scratch or dink it. but because they are huge, they dont fit anywhere, the zed was a fly weight comparitivly size wise. it lived in a double length garage, and took up pretty much the whole thing with about enough space left for a chest freezer. the later 90s ones are a bit easier to live with but no where near as pretty just as probematic and just as juicey. if you want a daily muscle car i think a vette or a new shape mustang are gonna be your best bet. the classic just dont fit down an english road.

How much wider is a wide ass?
yeh i hav to agree with dave its basic science this one, black absorbs heat white reflects it. thats why if you wear dark colours in a hot country you will bake pale colours will keep you cool. polar bears are infact black, well there skin is this helps draw in and retain heat, the fur itself is clear, so they appear white. anyways yeh black holds heat.

UK vs Jap OEM alloys
the uk zeds have a few little things that make them more suitable for driving at faster speeds, the jap autos do not come with a seperate transmission cooler for example. apprantly this is becuase of the topography of japan they just dont have the same road structure as us. so the uk zed recived a few tweaks to keep it in line for our twisties and our motorways. how much difference it truly makes...... thats open to interpretation.

front tyre advice.
im on a budjet atm so ive been looking about trying to put some part worns on the front, the rim width is 235, im thinking that putting on a 225 would have very little difference to anything apart from saving cash as they seem more common. esp if i used a 225/40/18 instead of a 235/35/18. any thoughts on thing? also is there any hazzard of going smaller im not a fan of strech, i dont trust it, but obviously tiny amounts are negliable so what does consitute as tiny? as does teh zed actually require a 225 front tyre?
