kidda

spoken to him this weekend, i've decided to let it go its just too far gone to rescue I think. I can see it being broken by the person interested in buying it either way I don't think its financially viable to rescue

Is it really that bad :( Well may have a look if nothing else just to see how the old girl is these days such a shame

should be good to look her over in the next few days and with any luck i'll bring her home to be rebuilt back to a good standard

I may look this up

she looked mint when I got rid of her and she ran great (other than some tappet rattle), when I bought her she was rough was hell. I ended up respraying the front (twice), back end, drivers side. I had the wheels refurbished, cleaned up all the interior. Changed the back lights back to a more stock look, changed all the suspension as all the rose joints were shot and a full brand new stainless exhaust from the turbos back. I think I spent about £3k on it to clean it up, absolute waste when I saw it on ebay

ah that's good to hear that someone is sorting her out properly would be good to see it put straight again

yeah when it left me it needed a bit of welding at the back of the sills and it had a top end rattle. Sounds like it was driven till the engine was dead then it got an engine transplant and a gearbox change but no welding. Last I saw of it the subframe mounts were shot plus the body kit was all cracked up like someone had hit a bollard. I spoke to the owner and he said he had just got it and the previous owner (the guy that got it from me) had hit a pot hole (yeah ok) Anyway he was asking 5k which was far far too much basede on the fact it needed a new set of rear quarters (bodykit) and a shed load of welding. Plus it just looked rough which is shocking saying I had almost repainted the full car!

I'd love another tbh I regret selling the last one I just didn't have the time to spend on it as it was my daily driver. After seeing how its been looked after I wish I had kept it, the lad I sold it to said he was going to do all sorts but it looks like he was a bit of a dreamer and its just been abused. So sad

yeah the MOT history since I owned it is shocking certainly hasn't had an easy life :(

haven't been on in a while and infact I don't own my widebody any more, I sold this a couple of years back now to a gent that I believe really abused it sadly. I saw it just before Christmas on eBay looking very sorry for itself up in Windermere and I would have happily bought it back but the new owner was wanting way to much for the issues it now has. Just thought I'd come on to see if anyone knows what happened to it, I spent a lot of money getting it right and its a shame it was so badly abused after I owned it. Its reg was M550OGS and this is one of the last pictures I have of her

Was kind of gutted but it's a decision that's been playing on my mind for a while I do need something more fitting to my job Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

She's been great but I've had to be sensible and get rid I need something g for work a big newer although I am looking at 350zs Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Well cars going to be moving to its new owner tomorrow tappets are getting better so I'm sure after a while it will be back to sounding smooth again.... Some final pictures of her as she goes https://www.dropbox.com/sh/owxzkswmwhhj4q9/AADzBISIZxA6YFl_LcpMsovwa?dl=0 I've loved my zx ownership time and I'm sure I will be back either with another in the future or with a 350z Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I've just got home after picking my little boy up and everytime I drive the car I have a huge grin. It's a great car but I need to be sensible.... I might just buy a sensible one too lol or a 350z

Tbh I love the car but as much as I love it I've stuck it on ebay to gauge interest. I use this as a daily driver and I can't afford it letting me down so if it goes it goes. 8 months for me to keep a car is good but I'm feeling it's time for a change really I need something more practical for work which is a sad truth. I have been known to change my mind though lol

The ticking gets faster and a little louder but I've thrown a rod on an rb engine and it sounded nothing like this

Tbh it does sound a lot worse on that video it's 100% top end I've had a bar all over the top end listening and is drivers rear top cam where the noise is and it's more tick than clunk lol. I've done 2 oil changes with a flush on each I'll throw in some wynn's lifter treatment to see if it free's it up but failing that I'm sure it's lifters at fault shame there's no one up here that could have a look I just need it sorting really it's my daily and the amount I'm having to mess with it I may have to look at something newer :(

Oil pressure is fine.. when warm about 30 60 when cold never bottoms out or anything it is loud chap sounds bloody awful it was lovely and smooth on the way to Liverpool too just as I pulled up sounded grim

It ran on that oil for about 30 minutes I dont know what was in it before that all I know is it was mankey lol I've just put 10w40 in after another flush still tapping mind

Ian do you know anyone close to Lancaster that could have a look at the lifters I haven't time to do it myself and I don't trust the local garages

https://youtu.be/JIMPFBSVlL8 Thanks Ian just going to do another flush and put 10w40 semi in sounds even worse on the video above

Seems to be one thing after another at the moment my problem now is lifter rattle. Sounds to me like the drivers rear lifter is tapping pretty loud it started when I drive her to Liverpool earlier this week . So I've got back and done a flush and oil change but it's made no difference so I may do another flush as the oil was manky. Can someone confirm the oil as I'm using 5w30 Mobil super 3000. Also any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Tidy... really good job

Hi im after a hicas lockout bar for a z32 twin turbo money awaits

I've only met you once at Blackpool in October and only for about 10 minutes so may sound odd having a comment on this but it's sad.. I have lost friends over the years and it's always the nice folk that have the hardest hands dealt. I feel for you and your family and I admire your attitude Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
