Darkside TT

really Jesus. Yes it certainly would. But it's the history you don't know, and a lot go with the conversion kits. Will have a look about and see what's available. Thanks for the reply. Neil

If I wanted to get one of these done, who would I speak to and how much would it cost. Just looking at a standard rebuild as I don't know the history of the gearbox as it's a conversion that was done by SE a good few years ago. Would like a drop off and pick up service tbh. CBA with taking it out myself then refitting it. But if it saves LOADS then will do it lol CheerZ Neil

Not sure what route I'm gonna take just yet... Not as mad as the Yellow one I don't think, but guess we will see lol

More than nothing but less than a lot lol. Put it this way I paid for a manual conversion and got the car for free! Lol Neil

True. but this is behind the tank and quiet clearly visible from underneath. well it was once id finished poking it about lol. it looks quiet bad but once its cleaned up and cut back to good metal i'll get a better idea of how much i need to weld in. gonna sound deaden the boot anyway. as long as its solid and rust free not fussed what it looks like. just a PITA i'll haver to remove the tank to do the welding

Indeed i did. as i said the arches and sils are solid. cant understand why the boot is as bad as it is. not rust anywhere else. shame really. well i say shame. wont cost me anything to fix and put right and saved my self £400 well apart from maybe a door. but we will see about that. :)

AS above... Pick the new girl up today :clap: A nice 3 hour drive home.... 1/2 a tank.. not too bad. Alas there are a few little probs. :sad::sad: but not too much of an issue to fix. Drivers door is quiet badly dented (tesco car park ) and might need replacing. the paint work on the bumpers is :censored::censored: but looking to replace those anyway. need a power amplifier for the drivers window (think thats what the little black box is. ) wheels need a refurb and the interior again is :censored: so im on the look out for a good leather interior. its been stood for a year so needs a service and the brakes looking at, they work but not as well as i remembered the TT brakes to be. however the big thing is the boot floor. a massive rust hole. and i mean massive. all round where the spare wheel sits. i was just pulling it off and off and off.... on his drive lol... thing is its just gone through an MOT and nothing was noted. maybe they missed it.. it was complete with no hole until i go going on it. will need to drop the fuel tank clean it up and weld a plate in there i think. on the plus side. i have the full history of the car. including the original Japanese paper work, manual auction paperwork and every receipt since its been in the UK. so i know its been looked after. the Sils are all sound and the engine is good and strong. Turbos kick in and again are strong with virtually no lag. cos of the bits and pieces i noticed around the car managed to knock off another £400. which is pretty good considering everything i need to do i can do at work for free lol Will get pictures up once shes had a clean :)

That's the one I'm looking at but wanted some different pictures. Thanks though

Any one got any pictures of one of these fitted? Thanks Neil

As Above. Picking the new Ze so up of Saturday so interested in meeting up with any one in the area. Im In Walsoken, not far from Kings Lynn so any body interested for next weekend. lets see if we can get something arranged. Neil

Hi all Was looking through the Z Centre website and say the digital clocks/speedo they do, I remember Seeing something like this on here before a good few years back, but looking through peoples pictures there seams to be more and more Being converted. Is Luke the only place that sells them? Or is there someone else? Just 490 on an exchange basis seams a little high to me??!?!! Thanks Neil

Thanks for the messages guys. will get some pictures up when i pick her up on Saturday The rear bumper???? WTF happened to the rest of the car?????????????????

But would like to say sorry to though that attended in my absance.. Hopefully i can sort out my shifts and be avaialbe for more meets now as the money in coming in again and the zed will soon be fixed.

If its not sitting at the correct angle it wont release, have you tried screwing it in place and then pulling it out?
