Convoy to the Zedworld bash???
Some time after 9am, depending on if we're meeting anyone else along the way. If it ends up just you and me then i'd say leave mine at half 9. But your more than welcome to come early and have a brew, i'll probably be up early doing some little bits to the Zed (if they arrive before Saturday) lol

I learnt something new today
Just got off the phone to Adrian flux, best filly comp they could do was £2500 a year, so I've got TPFT, £1704. Still extortionate just because its an import, but its the cheapest i can find. At least I'm insured i suppose

I learnt something new today
:cursing: :cursing: :censored: :censored: :mad2: :headvswal: :headvswal: :mad: :mad: "Dear Mr Rob Wood, Further to your recent on-line purchase of this policy, your insurer has been in contact with ourselves informing us that they cannot continue cover." If you "cant" insure me then dont f****ing quote me!!! I'm about ready to explode!! I had no problem insuring the UK spec!! THERES NO F@#!ING DIFFERENCE!! How hard can it be!! I'm fed up with Flux direct now! I'm going to call the grown ups at Adrian Flux and see if they will be any more help! i dont want to have to sell it because i cant insure it, but if they keep screwing me like this i'll have no other option! :(

Are these BOV's any good?
Right, been having a look around, and I've found these, i quite like them but are they any good? Hard pipes with BOV's Also, does anybody know anywhere else i can buy single pillar pods for the left and right, like the ones from zcenter, only not so bloody expensive! Pillar Pods

Help! want to buy my long wanted precious Z
Then you have the cost of changing the engines on top of that, probably another 1500 euro or more, plus your left with an engine with a broken turbo which you wont be able to get rid of. I'd just keep looking, maybe look for one that is mechanically sound, but needs a little cosmetic work??

Convoy to the Zedworld bash???
Thats doesnt matter to me, i'd drive past Zedworld to meet. Would still be better than driving there on my lonesome :D

I learnt something new today
Today i learnt something new about the 300zx when trying to insure my new import. UK spec 300zx is insurance group 41 Jap spec 300zx is insurance group 46 Now, it might just be me, but i really cant see why? Why should there be 5 groups difference just because its from another country! Its exactly the same car!! I argued this for about an hour with Adrian flux when they told me the underwriters wouldn't touch me because it was a 'fairlady' import! So i got my quote online instead. it did mean canceling my policy (and losing 6 months no claims) and taking out a new policy, but i saved myself £500 on what they were quoting me on a fully comp policy so it worked out better off in the end. Just annoyed about loosing my last 6 months of no claims, makes a difference when your only 22! I've now been driving 5 years, no accidents, with only 2 years no claims because of the bulls*** that comes with insurers!

Convoy to the Zedworld bash???
Who fancies meeting up before the Zedworld bash and driving there in convoy?? I'd be up for it even if it mean driving past Zedworld to get to the meeting point lol Nothing like the sound of a loads of v6's roaring down the road!

New Zed!! maybe
The red zed's still sat outside. But it made more sense for me to buy a Zed in better condition than to "rebuild" the red zed. I'm going to finish spraying the standard wheels black, give if a good clean inside and out then she'll be up for sale. She's pretty mechanically sound, but cosmetically she's seen better days. Not gona be asking much for her, if i see £1000 i'll be happy :)
-
New Zed!! maybe
Its running 0.9 bar, i think any more and it would start causing problems, pinking and such. I dont want to over do it and kill it.

-

New Zed!! maybe
I'm glad everyone seems to think it was a good choice :) When i was talking to the fella on the phone he was telling me how surprised he was at how rust free it was. Says its amazingly clean underneath and all original. I'm going with the cash, and dont intend on leaving with it!! :p I'm not sure the area, AL2 postcode. He says its not far from Jct6 M1. I'll be there around 3pm, so if i buy it i could come give you first looksies lol :p
