Clutches and Flywheels
Hi mate I bought everything from the states Z1 half the price of uk as the dollar is so weak. Tubs, Greddy Profec B etc etc have a look you might save some money for extra bits.

Any reason NOT to buy this?
Hello mate with these cars too good to be true is usually too good to be true. I would be very sceptical about the mileage. Like the guys say go and have a look. These cars are expensive when they go wrong, so unless your buying it as the beggining of a project be very choosy.

Update on my car
Hey all Popped into the garage today to see how it was going and had a chat with the guy whos stripped the engine down and is re-building it. Whole story of the blow up was because the previous owner had put new wisecos in but forgot to put the clips back on the pins so one came away from the rod and lunched the block. Today though I found out that the tubs had not been connected to any boost control so were just going ballistic every time. The engine has been put back together with the wrong screws etc etc etc!!! Be careful when purchasing these cars they end up in the hands of some serious monkeys cos theyre so cheap and end up like mine! Cheers

zx wanted
Sexy car mate I bought a dog was my own fault I trusted the engineering skills of the prvious owner did alot of the mods himself but sadly I found out when the enhine went bang that the pistons and turbos had been fitted as well as most 3 year olds could have done! My loss took a chance and lost out this time. I would have bought Stellz car if it had been up for grabs.
