  1. If you are going to use it like "Ebay feedback" then it should be restricted to Sales/purchases of items only. It will actually devalue the scheme if you extend it to services as nobody will then know what the feedback is related to, since it cant be linked to a specific transaction. Simple is nearly always best. IMO of course.
  2. 240mm is the stock NA clutch size. TT clutch is bigger. But Im not sure by how much. Im sure someone else will be along to help with TT clutch size.
  3. What size is the clutch plate. Ie Diameter? and what diameter is the flywheel area where the clutch goes?? Starters are "one size fits all"
  4. You mean he ISNT a Chav???:x: I thought he was with a name like Gaz.:D:D Its a pity you dont live closer my Slicktop will be sitting at home all weekend cos Im going in my Mundane Estate:cry: You could have borrowed it.
  5. So now we have the forums only set of Speedline alloys with Work Centre caps:x: Shall I mention about the centre bores???????....... Nah! ... best to forget about that;) :D:D:D

    I will be there with my trade stand . come along and say hello. i might need an "assistant" to keep an eye on the stand. Ill bring a spare chair and a :duffer:
  7. Will do Vijay. My worry is the spray filler wont build enough depth to mask the ripples and if it does it will be too brittle and flake off. I guess it depends how badly out of shape it is . any pics????
  8. :nono::nono: Not poly ester spray filler Vijay. Firstly its really like like thick paint. Used to fill pin holes pitting etc in old metal or cheap n nasty fibreglass parts ... as fitted to many 300ZXs. Its NOT flexible cos its doesnt need to be. Urethane is flexible so you need flexible filler. doesnt anyone down sarf know anything!!! LOL Nothing spray on will do as it wont fill waving/ripples. If you can wait till next week I can speak to my body shop man. But surely there are some Proper time served sprayers/painters on here to advise. Im just a self taught amateur:( Ring me if you need help mate.
  9. Just be patient:slap: I probably will sell it on when I finally get that other slicktop shell built;)
  10. If you do a survey of owners or prospective owners on here I dont think you will find 90% of them want ...a) an auto b) two tone custom flip paint or c) Tein coilover suspension. Also... spending £5.5K on a car wont add that to the value of the car. For example I bought my 1995 Version S manual NA for £2000. In the last 6 months I have fitted over £2500 of parts to it but it aint worth £4500 ;)
  11. Yes I knew that. Everything I said is true. It would be a lot more difficult to do now but the point of the story is still valid.:bow: I have done reasonably well with my three properties but compared to the A*****brothers I look like a loser:cry:
  12. Its a no brainer..... BUY one!! Or even better buy more than one(but not at the same time LOL!!) Renting is just like burning money. You never see it again. Need convincing??? here is a true tale...... Many years ago two brothers came to this country to look for work. They arrived in Bradford cos their uncle already worked there and had a house;) they got jobs as bus drivers and worked hard and saved enough to buy a house of their own, later they got married in their home country and returned with a wife each. soon after they were able to buy a second house so they each had their own home;) And later when the old lady across the road died they bought her house;) Today the brothers own in excess of 20 houses all of which except the two they live in are rented out. Now of course they dont drive any buses but have time to look after their families and enjoy life to the full. How do I know this??? Well I was in Bradford in 1971 at the same time they came to Britain and I got the full tale from one of them when my daughter lived in one of their student houses a couple of years ago. There is never a bad time to buy a house there are just some times when its a better buy than others:D
  13. AFAIC the answer is whatever you skim it over with will sooner or later crack and lift due to the flexibility of urethane. However there are products available from specialist motor factors who supply paint etc. try asking at one. Do you have "Brown Brothers" or similar near you?? Try Yellow Pages. Or Send a PM to "Boldy" on this forum. He is one very skilled body shop painter
  14. Yep ! I just borrowed them to read this thread. You can ave em back now!!;) And still we have people replying to the thread :slap:

  21. Welcome Back Baz. That should cause a stir down at MFN:shock: Pop and say hello when you are over this way.:hyper: And dont forget Z008. Japfest. JAE 2008, etc etc. Oh! one last thing........Bring that camera!!!:wack: BTW...... yer mota looks great!
  22. The Blue Series 2 NA that I am advertizing is one of the nicest cars I have seen.Even the rear spoiler is good. There is no rust at all on the upper body. Underneath its virtually the same. Lots of nice features on the Jap ser 2. Proper pillar mounted seat belts. Lap and Diag rear belts. Directional adjustable Air con. etc IMO its worth a short trip from Leicester up the M1 to Jun 26 to have a look. i could even deliver it!!:wack:
