Going to buy another one for the summer as mine is going to need a bit more than the job I was going to do!

Cheers Gary,

well Ive just won it so only to sort out the postage with a member on here. I might get the bodyshop to fill in the fogs and plastic weld up the holes and have the best of both. lol will wait and see what it looks like as no j's about here at all. I think Gary in Belfast is the closest at 90 miles away

thanks:thumbup1: yep all up and running and all access, yepee

brill and yea its a lwb 2+2. THANKS GUYS

just subscribed to the forum but didn't get putting in my name and address doh.... ref 7NE790411H724753H if that helps the administrators. Help, what do I do now to get full access

Will a uk rear bumper fit the import model ok. I'm bidding on one on the bay and just thought are they interchangeable???

might bring either the fiat coupe turbo or take the xr3i for a run, have a mr2 as well but it needs the throttle bodies replaced and is striped at present with no mot.

I wish Gary. Its going to bodyshop about 10th march for 2 weeks, then to my mechanic for the timing belts and full oil flush everywere including box, brakes, cooling system, diff. So hopefully by June Ill be driving it. Then going to run it through a mot locally to see will it pass as the one it came with mightn't be that good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worst way I'll aim to come up in one of the cars if not the z.

anyone got the link for the loom for the concept one,, google is bringing me up everything bar the one for the loom??

can a new loom still be got for them, and if so does anyone know where and the cost?

looks like the cheap ones are being returned. I assume its the quality that makes them worth the extra. thanks guys

got a set of plugs today and was been given a standard set of ngk the computer listed(2.50 each). Then gave him the part number Gary gave me and they had those too at (£7 each) so got both sets to be able to return the other. see which ones tmy guy wants to use. Such a difference in price. thank goodness for accounts

Thanks Gary

Just an update. The guy Ive been waiting on eventually got time to call this morning and he has gone over her with a fine tooth comb. Its either a duff plug coil pack or connector. The car has the old diagnostic plug so he couldn't plug in to see what faults are coming up. But he did have a good laugh at the other mechanic saying the heads were gone. He is calling back down during the week with a set of plugs as he says most motor factors wont carry the correct plug for her, so I might have bought one that just needs tiding. :phone:

no shes as clean as a whistle under the cap and running today for 30 mins and jumped of a cylinder but cam back on again herself and temp hand sitting about quarter way up. My other guy cant make it today but hes coming over Thursday to go over her. He thins the other guy is mad?? anyway ive started stripping her off for a coat of paint so unless shes rotten, here goes the resto......(lock me up)

as above. set on the bay and was thinking of buying them for my twin turbo but he doesn't now if they will be suitable. sorry for posting again

Thanks Gary. She really looks alright but Im a fussy shite so they have to be perfect when Im driving them. My mr2 stands me 10k and its worth 3k. but it will never be sold. Can or are you allowed to send me your number, I wouldn't mind a chat if you've time on the phone from another owners experience and pitfalls before I decide. Thanks

I know, it goes into scary money. Ive done a few up over the past 5 years, the worst being a rs2000 mk2 escort. Lost 5k on her plus. The 911 I broke even on. The ZX I've learned a thing or two and great contacts so I would say 5k will see her right. Ive another mechanic coming in the morning who thinks its not the engine trouble as he got me to do a few simple tests this morning as she was holding her own. He thinks its minor and that my other guy just condemned her. Be interesting to hear his verdict. Then this will be rebuilt or sell on and as you said buy a better one.

Its standing me at the moment a few grand only

Hi Its the twin turbo one in black. Nice car in its day so Ill restore her back to or as close as to new....

Going to probably regret this decision but going to give the old girl a reprieve from breaking her. Here goes then. 1. engine strip down, heads skimmed and pressure tested, valves reground, stem seals replaced and get it gas flowed and ported 2. repsray complete cat and repair rear sill rust 3, re-upholster interior seats and replace all cloth on door cards and dash, consul etc. 4. new carpet 5. reseal underneath and waxoil for hours.

bought it last Wednesday and it arrived on Friday from north wales. as Im in N.irleand I took a chance on it but it just looked sad. So as it has a oil leak I asked him to have a look over it to see if its going to be a big job to fix it. Then he brought it back saying its not in great shape. The rear panel under the car that holds the exhaust and fuel pipes is rotten and a few holes in the rear arch. It went through mot less than 10 days ago. it would need a respray which I can do which doesn't scare me but that engine is very off putting. The guy has worked on nissans for 15 years so has a reasonable knowledge but as he said, never worked on one of these.!!! Is it worth blowing her out and getting a better one. It owes me a few grand which isn't much in the current price of theses. I knew the body needed work but as I said this is my end of things.

Hi guys, think Ive just bought a lemon. Had a mechanic friend lok over it and he says the head gaskets are gone. Its done 110k kms but the back pressure from driving the car just over a mile she nearly empties the rad once the caps removed. He says she should be just rippling the water and no more. Oil pressure at idle 2.5 bars rising to 3.5 to 4 driving.. is she knackered??

Hi, I thought it was going to end up with a bit of hassile to change them over. Hopefully some off the breakers on the forum here may be able to help out at a reasonable cost. I'm taking out the interior as its rotten and really needs to be updated. I have my upholstery guy calling on Wednesday to change the carpet inlay to leather and recover the seats. So the door cards and rear trim may be useable?
