advice on insurance for cars with high modification
p.s. sureterm insured me last year, but wouldnt renew despite no changes, no claims and no other stuff going on! t&c must have changed slightly. lancaster was £100 cheaper than sureterm for me anyway

Just when you thought you couldn't squeeze anything else into the engine bay...
- Anyone seen this?
i'd worry when the seller puts this in the advert: you'll only really tell from going to look at it mate, plus, the paintwork looks like its based on 50 shades of grey. are any 2 panels the same shade?? Whats important though mate, is what shes like underneath.- Oh what Joy she brings :)
i know what you mean, I had a ford ka, followed by a fugly 1998 diesel mondeo while i owned the RX7. :)- Oh what Joy she brings :)
similar setup to me lance.. zed for the fun times, grande punto sporting 1.9 jtd for the day job :)- Nice day so time for the first drive!
looking fab mate.. you done anything to make it sound ferrari esq? and is it a 140 mr2 or 180/190 t-sport? bit of a bodywork pro eh mate? i'll have to bring the old gal back up north for you to fettle with :)- Oh what Joy she brings :)
i reckon i do gallons per mile... not miles per gallon. :) gotta admit with these zes, I ha a flick around the old autotrader and I couldnt find anything under 10k I'd rather have.. The only other motors taking my fancy were the 370z's.. but find one under 16k and i'll chew your arm off. 350z just doesnt quite do it for me.. i've had an rx7 twin turbo, driven subaru's, dont like GTO's as much, evo's are boring, supra twin turbo is over priced, TVR's will break more than the zed does.. I'd rather spend a few k's on the zed an get her A1 than spend big money on something else. - - - Updated - - - p.s. I have a problem with the "d" button on my keyboard...... looks like I dropped a few.- Parcel Farce' do it again!!!
i had 2 items delivered by paisley freight the other week. new wing for the mrs starlet GT, and new tailgate for it too. wrapped in carpet underlay, cardboard and shit loads of parcel tape, marked fragile on all sides. they bent every corner on every item delivering it. GIGANTIC TW@S- Bloody corsa
you can keep the rear lights if you break it mate.. on a serious note, everyones ok I hope! Quite a bump. Hope you get sorted soon. p.s. u best buy it back, I want the drivers door rubber, looks mint! and i need one! :P :)- Something illuminating For Andy (phutumsch)
mate that is brilliant! If your into the whole show car thing, having an entire boot install tripping in like that would be smiled upon i'm sure :)- water hose size
we're not on about the rad hoses i hope...- recommend courier???
Cheers guys, I'll call them tomorrow :)- recommend courier???
Hi guys, need some parts for my lil starlet gt turbo ep82 project.. only problem being, finding a courier for: driverside front wing complete tailgate inc glass + motors size and weight are the problems I keep running into. any ideas?- ebay zed big brakes maybe ?
is it likely to actually be that car theyre breaking? a lot of ebay breaking adds have been using the same pics for years!- Re sill repair panels
are there any pre-fab rear arche panels for our z32s anywhere? mine are starting to look distinctly tango'd on the inside edges.- Re sill repair panels
gotta be useful to someone they have- heater matrix pipes ordered
rolandas, if i was confident the car would get to london without one of these pipes splitting, i probably would lol. never bled a coolant/heater system before.. my RX7 had an AST, so i didnt have to worry about it.. how do you bleed the zed?- heater matrix pipes ordered
lol, the guy at zcentre said just to cut the hose as suggested. might sound a daft question, but do you have to do any bleeding of the system afterwards? anyone experienced air-locks after doing this?- My Zed
they will look like this, same wheels as me :) hope that helps ;) liking the headlamp refurb by the way.. might have to join you on that one! - - - Updated - - - and the wheels are the same size too :)- heater matrix pipes ordered
i'll soon find out! they should be with me tomorrow, so come the weekend, i'll have a peak. Crapped myself down the dual carriageway the other day when i spotted steam behind the car in my mirrors... only to find i've got a weep coming from the top heater matrix pipe, that was dripping onto the decat exhaust pipes below.. making things look much worse behind me than it actually was! :)- heater matrix pipes ordered
so looking forward to fitting these... anyone know any midgets who can get hands down the back of the block? :D- My Zed
Looking like a worthy project fella. Keep a nice build thread going please!- moving house!!
get 10 pikies to pick it up and carry it there. i reckon that would cost 10 carlsbergs, and infinate quotes to have your drive tarmac'd in the future.- moving house!!
dave - can you still do that if the tax has already expired? i thought you could only do that with an expired MOT if the car still had tax. - Anyone seen this?
