Never heard of one before?!?! What hole were you living in? :D I'm happy to host anytime, Sundays are difficult for me to travel though as I usually have my rugrats. Doable for something big but probably not for a monthly meet. Good luck with the exams!

Of course..... we are pretty thin on the ground aren't we?!

therealnips is in eastbourne and active on the forum v recently, he may need pointing in this direction? My pin needs moving about 6 miles to the north east to be more accurate..... the village is called Bodle Street Green :) - - - Updated - - - ah, you got him

Hey Guys, Alic suggested I pop this here. When I looked I saw talk of a monthly meet in the Kent/Sussex area.... I haven't read the entire thread yet but I'd like to offer up my pub as a meeting point. Nice country pub, good food and ale and a decent size car park. I'm in the High Weald Area of outstanding natural beauty, the pub is called the White Horse Inn. If anyone is interested then let me know. cheers! Matt

Sure, Still finding my way around so I'll try to find that thread :D

I saw the numberplate M300MAT for sale last week...... ummed and arred too long it seems. Can't find it now :(

Matt (mattyk) Near Hailsham, East Sussex, Jap '94 2+2 TT, going anywhere, frequently. ps I have a nice country pub with a decent size car park...... you're welcome to come and compare Zeds anytime :D

Welcome :D

Not me but I'm hanging around that area in a dark blue 94 to now

Ok. My baby had cooling issues after I let a local mechanic loose on her. A mistake I won't be making again. Overheating. Head gasket. Sent to jimmer at powerzed. A long time later she is back in the fold after a full engine rebuild along with turbo and injector upgrades. Now need a remap to take advantage of them. Massive thanks and hats off to jimmer, she is purring and that hicas problem has gone too.

Hey guys, The zx has been off the road for a year and a half now as I had a second child and the buggy and pushchair and bags and wife etc wouldn't all fit into her. I'm sorry to say I've been cheating on her with a german slapper in the guise of an RS6 but I'm getting really bored of her chunkyness and want to get my zx back on the road. Also ditched the wife and the kids are old enough to not need buggies so as long as I can get the brat seats in the back it will happen! I'm still in east sussex though, any discoveries of a decent garage nearer than guildford yet???

i think our place is just round the corner? SE tyres?

no, doesn't happen on start up.... just at random, sometimes midcorner. As far as i can remember zedworld weren't doing anything to the power steering so fluid should be the same as it was before which caused me no problems.... I will check that fluid level when i get the chance though. One of our depots is just around the corner from your office on diplocks way but i don't get down that way much apart from when I get KFC cravings

north out of hailsham and turn right zairs. just past herstmonceux Would that mean speedo issues at the same time z32bolt? The speedo works without a glitch. A speed converter being what? To convert the speedo on an import? Where would I find that beastie to check it?

you'd think someone would be smart enough to check that wouldn't you? But zedworld didn't at the time and I haven't done since...... cheers ian, I'll check it tomorrow

cheers gio and thanks for the welcome everyone, i'm out near windmill hill zairs so very close to you :thumbup1:

That is a beautiful machine mate! Not right for me for a couple of reasons though Reason 1 is that I'm a big girl on a bike and don't have a sack big enough to really compete on 2 wheels, bikes are for fun for me only. I'm pretty quick with 4 wheels though. Also my old back can't deal with a bike like that any more Reason 2 is I just bought a bike this morning. Went to test drive a Z1000sx and a fazer 1000. Liked the Z1000, it pulls like a train from 2000rpm!! Absolutely the most incredible performance from the bottom an mid range i've ever experienced. The fazer however was a far better bike, smoother power delivery, more comfortable riding position and seat, more nimble, and when you wind that R1 engine up it screams at you and takes off like a sports bike. I loved it so much I bought it on the spot

hey gary, got one on my profile but that's all so far.... will try to get some more up soon. She's completely standard so there isn't a huge amount to drool over that you haven't seen before! Thanks richard.... i think bristol is about the same distance unfortunately! I have an intermittent fault with the power steering, it started when the guys at zedworld fixed the last problem (they had the drivers seat out fiddling under the dash) so i hope it's something simple like a loose connector. Basically the hicas light is on all the time an the power steering cuts in and out seemingly at random..... it's quite disconcerting when you are pushing hard!:laugh: 1

sorry, you said already... gto's which are pretty similar anyway.

yeah, she would be way over weight..... not sure how much i could strip out though. Probably not nearly enough. Are there 300zx's in this class already bob? Any idea what I'd be up against?

She'd qualify for the 300gt class surely?

bobgenie, please change your name to bobgenius :w00t: that looks like just the job! The chubby old girl would need a serious diet though!

Being competitive is a must..... I couldn't go racing expecting to lose, that sounds like a crappy pastime! Prepping the car wouldn't have to come from the first years budget but if it's going to cost that much it might be easier to just try something different and :surrender: admit defeat in the 'keep the Z' battle. 20k would get me an RX150 to take to the rallycross scene and that looks like a lot of fun Thanks for the tips anyway guys, i thought (was hoping) there might be something out there that would suit a relatively untampered ZX

and it isn't race prepped in the slightest

Came back from Bali.... I put it up on autotrader in the summer (to keep the wife happy) and got a nibble but it was the day before i went back over so nothing came of it BRDC and 750MC, thanks zed-racer, I'll look into it :thumbup1: I have a twin turbo 2+2 targa..... now I say it I guess that targa would be an issue in any motorsport wouldn't it? I don't have a race license but it isn't tricky to get a national B, plenty of experience racing karts up to rotax sort of level (90mph) and driving all sorts of racing kit, up to and including a couple of F1 cars
