vista...........
And so that when you unwittingly download a virus or spyware it has to ask you if you want to install it. Very useful security feature but also very annoying. I hate Vista and so do most businesses. There was nothing wrong with XP and there's hardly anything of benefit in Vista. That's why Microsoft have had to start selling XP again after they stopped it last year. The next version of Windows is due around 2010 which I think is when they have now said XP will end so basically Vista is dead already LOL It's like when Windows ME came out and was so bad nobody used it and went straight to XP.

Grey Z parked almost next door in Harrogate
Hmmmm I'm not sure, it was very similar but I don't remember the side skirts or it looking as tidy as that one. Where is that car living nowadays? I heard he sold it?

What about a 'Tech. Day/Weekend'?
We have these all the time they're called "Events" or "Meets" and there's a forum section dedicated to them. Everyone turns up and one or more of the cars are knackered and can't get home so we get the screwdrivers out :rofl: LOL

Grey Z parked almost next door in Harrogate
On Sunday I came out the house and on the corner of my street there was a grey Z with Veilside front and I think, big spoiler and round rear lights. Anyone here? I almost went and knocked on the door to ask who's it was!

Horror/Scary Movies...............
Yeah that's a really grim one! :nelson: It's one of those films where you keep thinking - they can't show that happen to a baby - or - they'll cut away from the scene at the last second leaving you imagining the gore... but NO you get to see it ALL! :shock: LOL There's a sequel 2 but I haven't been brave enough to watch it yet. Always been a fan of the Evil Dead series, Evil Dead II being a comedy favorite. Army Of Darkness the 3rd one is great also.

Horror/Scary Movies...............
Severance! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464196/ Watched this last week and it's SOOO BAD it's good LOL It's a very strange combination of comedy and gruesome horror but worth watching just for the 2 escort girls that fall into a pit in the forest and have to strip off to use their clothes as a rope LMAO :rofl:

why haven't i seen a zed in yorkshire?
I very rarely see any round here - in fact there's hardly any Jap / Import cars about. I go to Manchester or the North East and see loads of stuff though. Strange. Having said that I came out my house the other day and saw a gunmetal modifed Z parked in the street! Anyone here? Veilside front and a big wing I think but otherwise fairly standard.

Electric Super HICAS
Yes it's because someone fitted a standard steering wheel boss to mount the Momo instead of getting the correct HICAS boss for the Z. As the ECU can't tell where your wheel is pointing it thinks your HICAS is faulty and disables it.

HKS ALC for automatic
Some actually say they reduce wear as the changes are faster. Most of these boxes are so old that they are probably about to fail anyway. Nobody fits an ALC and then drives it steady do they? Had one on mine and loved it for a couple of years until the box died but I blame that on the thrashing I gave it LOL It's like saying don't fit a huge turbo cos it'll make your tyres wear out LOL

Trouble engaging gears with new short shift
There's not really much can go wrong with the fitting of it other than pointing it the wrong way round in which case it would be too near the dash and look a bit odd! Wouldn't have thought tightening it too much would stop it going in gear, just make it stiff to move. Which kit is it? Where from?
-
Trouble engaging gears with new short shift
Not heard of that before. Did you fit it the right way round???

Powder coating
Oh yeah! Derrr! :o LOL

Powder coating
You don't get any brush marks it's really thick enamel that kind of levels itself out to a rock hard glossy finish. I've done mine and you wouldn't know they weren't a factory fit item. Well worth the money and certainly nothing like just painting them which would look crap!

happy b'day Jay the gun
If he reads this would he mind paying for the engine he took off me before I send any good wishes :nono:
-
started first time
Says he's got a series 2 PTU in the first post ;) Could still be a faulty one though, it does happen. Smoke might be some oil has dripped on the turbo while it's been stood. Could be a dodgy plug that's breaking down? If not it must be the wiring or a knackered cylinder.

Powder coating
Not really a good idea as it would destroy all the seals unless you completely dismantle them. Why not just get a caliper paint kit from Demon Tweeks? http://www.demon-tweaks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=FOL2160 Job done in an hour and it's enamel so looks OEM and lasts forever!
