Indeed, the Z looks better anyway! :D

yes or no
Do yourself a favour and steer clear of the lights that make the Z not look like a Z. 99-specs can be bought through Z centre. They are not cheap, but really update the back of the car but keep the car's distinctive original look. http://www.zcentre.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21_24_57&products_id=55

Going back to Germany!!
That's the south for you! :)

yes or no
I've always liked the Navan spoiler. I say keep it. But, replace that faided old TBL and fit some 99 spec lights. Job done.

yes or no
Looks like a Navan spoiler.

Personnal Advice
There is more to do on the South Coast than there EVER will be in Bristol. I like living in Bristol...well, near, I wouldn't want to live right in Bristol, Portishead Marina fine for me, but I really miss the South Coast. I went to Uni in Southampton and have also lived in Southsea. I wouldn't hesitate at living at Bournemouth/Poole. Very nice part of the UK. You're minutes away from the New Forest and it's very easy to get a ferry across to France.

Personnal Advice
Have done that 3 times now. Easier when you're younger. Grab the opportunity by the horns, it may never come round again. I moved to Worcester (Malvern) about a year after uni as I got a job with the MOD. At the time, it was quite difficult, but I made some friends up there and settled down. Had a great 3 years up there. Got paid loads of money, had a nice house, went abroad all the time. One of the guys I made friends with is now one of my closest friends. Even now, I'm not adverse to change. Plan on eventually settling in the USA. Not sure I'd ever want to move to the centre of London though. I've worked in and around London before and whilst I quite like the suburbs, I would find the centre a little overwhelming at times if I had to live there, plus I love being by the countryside. London's too claustraphobic for me. I'm quite often in London as my cousin has a house in Kensington and my Mum's sister lives in Ealing. Have family in Twickenham and other parts of the outskirts.

Colour is not Gold! LOL Lovely car. So when this lands on UK soil, it'll be the most powerful? One of the most powerful in the world! I don't even think Russel Floyd's cabrio runs that kind of power off-gas. I love the fact that it still looks pretty stock looking, just some subtle enhancements. Looks fantastic. Hope whoever buys it keeps it looking as it is.

Going back to Germany!!
I love France Kim. Out of all the places I've been to in the world, some pretty far-out places too, France has always been my favourite. The empty roads, the relaxed pace of life, the whole community spirit in France. I feel very much at home when I am there and often take my Z over to France for some relaxing country driving. :)
-
yes or no
My Z came over from Japan with the spoiler removed. I kinda liked it at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought it needed something on the back. SWB look good wingless, but the LWB really needs something at the end of its long sloping back to give it a slight kick.

Phone battery keeps dying
Not with faulty batteries they won't.

Phone battery keeps dying
If you read the small-print, batteries are rarely covered by warranty. You won't get a new handset if the battery is at fault.

A Recession Loom's!
That's why we are in a recession, people saying that and not spending! lol

Going back to Germany!!
...PS, house prices in Germany aren't too shy of what they are over here which is why about 70% of the population rent. Don't even think about trying to get a credit card in Germany either. VERY difficult.

Going back to Germany!!
My sister lives in Munich. I do like Germany a lot. Amazing transport system in Munich. I have a soft spot for France, but would be happy to live in Germany. My sister's lived there now for over 5 years and would NEVER come back to the UK. You can hardly blame her.

Probably the ONLY update I could have really done that car was to get rid of those round rear lights. 99-specs make the car look finished and exotic.

Amp questions.
Don't you mean component vin? ;) Steve, if they'll fit under a seat with all the electrics there, then one should be able to fit under the dash somewhere. It won't be too hidden away, I'll try and make it a ventelated area.

Amp questions.
I don't know an awful lot about car audio. Now I've replaced my headunit, run new cabling to it, run an RCA lead to the sub output from the boot, along with a switch and power cable. I have an amp in the boot to power a sub. That's all ok. What I am wanting to do now is to amplify the main 4 speakers as I'm just not getting the definition I want. I want to hide the amp as I'm not really into installs. I want to know if you can buy small amplifiers that would be man enough to power the speakers, but small enough to hide under the dash behind the glove box or something? Or if anyone's got any other ideas, I'm all ears. Not really wanting to buy an expensive amp to power the lot, nor am I wanting to run yet more. cables to the back of the car.

Tyre advice
I know, that's why I said there was less roll with a stretched tyre. ;) 285 iss spot on for a 10" rim though. 275 is best for 9.5. My rear tyres (265s) are a little too stretched. 275 will be my replacements.
