I disagree, my Carbing made quite a difference. Before I fitted it, when jacking the front corner, you could physically see the panel gaps around the bonnet and wings going out of line slightly with the twist in TE car. With the Carbing fitted, this no longer happens. I don't track the car doors arguable as to whether it makes the street performance any better, but it definitely does something [emoji106]

Belated birthday wishes matey [emoji106]

Welcome to the club Christophe, great to meet you on Saturday at the NEC [emoji106]

Happy Birthday Matey [emoji320][emoji512][emoji322][emoji482]

Hi matey, welcome to the club. I was the chap with the red one that you had a chat with. I know you have been lurking the forums for a while now but it's good to see you active. The emerald green is a fairly rare colour, let's see some pics [emoji106]

It's quite difficult to remove; on reflection I wish I did it the other way round to make it go further - it doesn't come with warranty...

Welcome to the club Dave [emoji41]

And if you get from your house to Scotland in 3 hours I'll buy you dinner!

18x9 ET25 would look lovely on the front, just a tad more poke than mine (3mm in fact) which I'd prefer. The rears are the sticking point though, are there no more 18x10 available in a higher offset? Alternatively, you could fit 18x9 ET25 or 30 and it will look nice if you were happy with a 9" rear with no stagger. Do you have an idea of how you would like the tyre to look; flat tyre wall, stretched, etc?

Whilst it's probably not a colour I would choose, nor is red! I believe a sorted Z will make any colour look good [emoji41][emoji106]

Excellent news Steve [emoji106] lets have some piccies [emoji41]

Good thread. [emoji106] I'm not sure you can go direct to ERS as an underwriter for a policy but it would be nice to confirm (bird?). A fair few members are probably insured with them (possibly without knowing if they don't read the policy documents). I can add to the experiences as I have recently renewed all 3 cars in my household (although I'll only include the Z). The IPT increase has certainly affected quotes across the board this year as the premiums for me were noticeably higher. Footman James - 6/10 The policy add-ons with FJ (such as no cost salvage retention) are very attractive and I think overall FJ offer the most comprehensive policy available of any of the insurers, but at a cost! Once you've specced up the policy, the cost becomes uncompetitive. I do like the no quibble, straight forward, included agreed valuation procedure, but this year, FJ were nearly £150 over my best quote! With better quotes, I think they would hands down be the best insurer out of the lot (on paper at least, I cannot review any companies in the event of a claim). Adrian Flux - 7/10 I have been with Adrian Flux before (and have renewed my wife's car with them this year) but they also seem to be struggling to reach a competitive price for the Z. The price they quoted was pretty reasonable this year even when you've suggested the requirement of an agreed valuation, however what they don't mention (luckily I asked the question directly) is that to get the agreed valuation added on costs an additional £39.99 on top of the premium! This pushed them over the edge for me. Lancaster Insurance - 9/10 I renewed the Z with these guys this year (having never used them before), the price was better than the competitors and the staff have been extremely helpful with great communications. Unlike any of the others I know of, the premium included full UK and EU breakdown cover and legal expenses; these are expensive add-ons with the other companies. The agreed valuation procedure is relatively painless, but the additional £17 was an unfortunate bump on the premium and is one of the reasons why they just fell short of 10/10. The underwriter is also Equity Red Star and bizarrely, as were some of the other quotes I had from different companies. I find it surprising how the quotes differ for identical details from the same underwriter with different brokers.

I think it could be! If we manage to secure a bigger plot, I say show the model variants and as the 2+0 slicktop, bend the rules by demonstrating the versatility of the car; something like Jaffa's crazy racing machine would be perfect, after all a large part of the cars heritage is on a race track.

How far off are they? What sizes can you get? It's not an exact science, my recommendations are more of a guide. The offset can be decreased with the use of spacers if they're too high.

Haha, we must've sat in the same chair [emoji6][emoji991]

No need to thank me Richard, thank you and the club for the opportunity, the pleasure was all mine. It was a great weekend with superb company and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Looking forward to the updates Lee [emoji106] but no airbrushing birds onto your bodywork please! [emoji848][emoji1]
