I have one of those sat here btw, someone on here wanted one and I never heard back so it's just been sat on my bench. I removed it because I could basically, it was redundant.

Been a bit busy recently with family stuff and the house, finally bit the bullet and brought a new kitchen so the house is all over the place. Our old 80s kitchen is being recycled into my utility area which will allow me to start a proper work shop at last, (sadly not big enough for a car to fit). Springs are all switched over and the struts rebuilt and installed. So that's 6kg front 4kg rear, should be much more compliant now and maybe faster on real roads. Some more components for the rear brakes arrived so watch this space on that. Slight cock up on the adapter piece to convert from flare to banjo, so there back to my mates shop for tweaking. It's a similar issue to this; Some shinny bits and sweets turned up from Driftworks, still got to assault the rear bumper tab though. Die grinder might be a good shout. I cleaned up the PS pump and went to fire up the engine to spot the leak. Sadly there wasn't enough juice to start her up. Checked back to see if I could see the drip and tbh it still isn't clear. Annoying but not a big issue.

It's likely shorting on the main harness. That's what mine was doing, pain to repair as it's a screened cable and access is crap.

Looks like an option.

This. You are more likely to just make a mess than anything else. Even if you recut the top two they will be duff threads that are more likely to allow the issue again. The only proper way to do it is to helicoil the thread. I would probably try to wind the plug in square very gingerly but that's got a fair chance to backfire on you so I wouldn't recommend that.

I looked at this and thought, the 13th...Tuesday then realised yes end of this week were half way through the month. This year is flying by.

Same reason Samsung phones where blowing up I guess. Your right though does seriously Flag up the safety card.

I'd advise you do it once and properly, doing the plenum water bypass. Pretty sure you can loop it out even as a temporary measure. Apparently it's to prevent an issue with the throttle bodies in very cold climates, i.e. not southern England. https://z32.wikispaces.com/Coolant+Line+Bypass

What did you use on that paint? Massive improvement.

The fun bit is getting all the air out of the bloody thing. I found I had to seat the nipple so to speak, doing it up, loosen, repeat until the nipple marked and a seal was then achieved. I had to tighten it up to a point I didn't exactly have faith in either the first couple of goes. You may remember that I successfully buggered up my front caliper drilling out a snapped nipple and Gaz had to come to the rescue, helicoiling and cutting a new nipple seat for me. I hate brakes.

A year ago? Seriously?

Indeed they are and I do not wish to be one of those people, however; sadly abstaining plays into thier hands. I will support anyone's right to vote or not to, power is in the choice, not the action. The feminist motivation doesn't fly with me either or history. If you feel strongly though I would recommend a spoilt ballot, whilst they hold little weight they are at least proof that the motivation (or lack of it) was not driven by apathy. Sadly they don't take abstinence into account, 2015 would of been rather different if they did. See below. I remember after the EU Ref a chap the next day said to me "it's disgusting, I'm ashamed." I said oh right. "What did you vote?" he asked, I replied I'd rather not say, I was at work and it's not very professional. I then asked him if he had voted. "Me personally?" He replied, yes I said "oh I didn't personally vote". I just shrugged and walked off. I was always told, it's fine to abstain but you cannot moan if you don't get what you want, suppose that applies to most things in life. Oh and btw I lost my bet, greed took over my initial prediction which was closer to the result of no overall majority. In fact I predicted a labour/Liberal coalition. Odds of 16-1 for a labour majority were too much of a temptation. NM hey.

:lol: Oh no. We need a second election then. (Just kidding corse I put a cross)

Regardless of your opinion and position if you didn't get out and tick a box your chance is now up. So let's see the outcome tomorrow. I did manage to get to the bookies as well so il be happy either way. :lol:

The stock intercooler piping flares out to the throttle body. More noticeable on aftermarket hard pipes. Dunno what the actual size is though.

Soda blasted?

Assumed cost benefit ratio versus similar priced modifications. Obviously all of the above would be great but if not I recon that ones one of the lower rewarding parts.

Greg does Nistune does he? That's useful to know.

Maybe drop the throttle bodies, your going to want bigger injectors and a custom tune to get the best out of things. Have you considered how you will approach this? Nistune? A true stand alone? Silly question but is the engine serviced and in good condition? No point throwing 1000s in bolt ons at an engine that needs a timing belt.

There's a fair bit of corrosion there bud. Have you ascertained wether it's engine oil or another fluid such as Power Steering fluid?

Pretty sure picture that. Need more information to even start to speculate.

What have you currently got? 1. Japspeed decays/divorced downnpipes. 2.? 3.? I'd probably spend your money else where, like injectors or intercoolers. In an ideal world you'd want 3" turbo back, in the real world though you won't be using E85 which is what really jump the power up on these "breather cars".

There's a pair of Z1 downpipes for sale as second hand never used for £100 onbthus club right now...

Massively underrated that's the answer.
