  1. I had mine restiched at 60k
  2. Id do it but im scared of the seals being blown out of the exhaust :) I guess my turbos have only done 40k though.....
  3. Eddie, Maldon seems to be a rude boy hangout for donutting and crashing :) there seems to be a lot of zeds in the area actually
  4. I think they look shit, they don't compliment any car, even 18 wheelers have them now, driving down the a13 at night I see them all the time, ridiculous.
  5. did anyone see scrapheap yesterday? mini hurling machines lol Proper Job
  6. TT's 2+2 handle wicked, I don't know why people say otherwise, I can go round roundabouts in the dry at 45+ mph with no loss of backend, You can make the back step out if you really want as well. At 110mph the other day I had to avoid 3 cars on the a13 one broken down with no warning in the fast lane, any other car of this size would have lost its back the speed at which I snapped back in (thanks hicas) The only time the TT is unstable is in the wet accelerating stupidly, the wheels start to spin at about 4k, i've only really been out of shape once and thats because I was trying to get out of the way of an ambulance in 2nd gear on a wet roundabout, The car responded well to counter steer though and was back on a straight line instantly. Of course people get out of shape in them but there will be no difference to most other rear wheel cars, Ive had a few brown pants moments in my 67 Midget which I may add the zed handles just as well as. Id say the NA is about as fast as an NA Mr2 from the lights? maybe a bit quicker? I kick Mr2's arses :)
  7. That looks wicked, I think that the conversion tot hose dorrs runs at something like £20,000 http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/cars/jakari300zx.html I believe this is it again

  9. You are sexy and stylish, all the ladies are falling at your feet, you could probably take mac 1 and Bog roy on in a fight at the same time one hand behind your back. You drive a hummer humvee you great big chunk of man you.
  10. I dunno, that colour will make it hard to get a god text overlay, if you go for something to dark it will stick out like a sore thumb and if you go to light then people will have difficulty reading it (especially colour blind people like me) I like the sxoc, can't go wrong withshades of blue in my opinion :)
  11. ooh just read up on Techtom MDM-100 on your site, I might get one of those, where should i get one from? Techtom MDM-100 into google and 300zx.org.uk is the first hit :)

    You should go to a skidpan, your local police will organise one and its about £40 but for that you get 2-3 theory lessons and a go on the skid pan which is videotaped for you. You have to counter steer into a skid but not to much as with rear wheel drive cars you end up having to correct again if you oversteer, I find in the zed that a quick snap of the wheel in one direction and then back to horizontal with a tap of the accelerator as you are straight generally gets me out of any sticky situations. The problem with braking or accelerating is that you change the weight distribution of the car. If you hit the breaks you are going to move all the weight to the front of the car making the back end very light and have it switch ends very quickly, acclerate to hard and you end up loosing more traction. I found myself sideways around an empty roundabout a few weeks back trying to get out of the way of an ambulance at 11pm a quick counter steer set me straight though, I think the zed corrects very well for its size and weight, I drive a rear wheel drive Midget as well and it responds just as well as that.
  21. "Timmy couldn't afford to go to PPS for his next project"
  22. you're gonna get us in a whole world of sh1t
  23. My engine seems more responsive over 3000k because thats when the turbos start to kick in :)
  24. do you have anything in your car which has absorbed moisture? Remember if you wipe the screenwith a cloth and then put it in the car the moisture from the cloth just ends up back on the windscreen, apart from that, its just the time of the year when cars do that, thank god it isn't icing up yet :)
  25. Ive met Craig John and a few others at the M1 services where we met to drive up to billing, can't recall their names though,
