I heard on the grapevine that the top bar is getting upgraded and having a picture of my car to attract a million more users per year. :thumbup:

I've always read that the TT pump is as good as the walbro so no point upgrading it. not sure how much truth there is in that statement though.

I hope you are expecting a totally different car when it comes back, because it will be!! :thumbup1:

haha, very clever :clap:

avoid powerflow, go for a proper system made for a Z32 :yes:

selling her, need a few more outings in it first though, its impressive and hasnt got me stuck yet! its a bit of a battle-barge but its a 1987 with 40k on the clock and 3 owners from new lol :rockon:

mine was a hopeful guesstimate if you found the right buyer who isnt short of a few bob. lol

including new clutch & lightweight flywheel - £700 - £800ish?

thanks for the input dave, havent got my own lake though :lol:

capris are cool but quite long, actually saw one today and had a little thought in my brain about owning one as it drove past :) golfs are fairly cheap to buy still and a 1.8T conversion aint rocket science anymore, sure conversion kits are probably off the shelf now.

I do like the idea of a retro jap car with a modern engine, that would be awesome a corrado could be a maybe, had one a couple of years ago when I tried to get away from japs and into german, sold it after a couple of months and bought another TT Z :lol:

haha a full on buggy is a bit of a nono, needs to be an all weather car at least lol. thanks for the link marty never been on there, loads of cars to sift through! saw an olive drab baja bug in lincoln last year and it looked amazing. really made me want one. but they are rear engined so a Z engine would be difficult. lol I always said I would never have another RS turbo after the last moneypit pile of shit I had, but I do keep looking at them. Wouldnt mind a car that needs paintwork as I'd probably respray it if that was the case. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-FORD-ESCORT-RS-TURBO-RED-tax-n-tested-/220948936178?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item33719535f2

its a rare japanese aftermarket one unfortunately, D-Speed, but you dont see many of them. I only mentioned it as I was trying to provoke a response from others (not everyone likes it lol)

Some of you know I've got a bobtail V8 Range Rover, its great fun off road but I rarely use it now, and the missus is fine with me selling it and getting another toy :lol: :clap: :rockon: :yes: so the question is, what do I replace it with? Ideally, it will be something that fits in the garage. Marty got me looking at aerotop supras and stuff but cant really have one of those and a Z. So was thinking something classic/retro. Always been a fan of mk1 fiestas and had 7 of them in total, so thats an option. Mk2 XR2? Mk3 escort/XR3? Mk1 & Mk2 escorts are silly money now and probably too far out of reach. (should have bought that X-Pack Mk2 I saw for sale for £1500 a couple of years back :pinch:) also like old beetles/baja bugs. I like the idea of something stripped out and caged up, wide wheels and very cool. dont suggest a saxo or corsa please. lol I'm open to suggestions and lots of us like old retro cars so please fire some ideas my way! :thumbup:

:lol::lol:

welcome along matey :thumbup: scarab bumpers are a nice choice - see daz's sig pic above ^^ as for rear spoilers well you obviously need one like mine as they are the best. :thumbup:

certainly sounds like a flow issue, you can rent powerflushing machines if you dont know anyone with one. or failing that as Al says take one of the worse affected rads off and get the hosepipe on it. When you try and bleed them what comes out? clean water or black water?

:bow::bow:

welcome back, I really like your old Z :thumbup:

excellent stuff mate, deffo needs more pics!

great news nick, did you notice anyone staring? lol :)

Get a golden bristlenose plec, like mine.. 'pleccy' lol, he's 5 years old and about 4 inches long, they dont grow very big but look great and suck the algae off the side of the tank to keep it clean :) random google pic

any good with sorting your clutch master out?

I think you could get away with another inch... :thumbup:

So pleased for you Dave :) great work mate. The real thanks has to go to Keith though, I know close you were at throwing the towel in until he picked you up and got you back on track :thumbup1:
