  1. Where the hell are you looking? Mines on an '04 plate, GT Spec, 38k miles and only thing wrong was the common fault with the Rays having slight bubbling on them. Paid £7.5k
  2. Aww man! Get yourself back up here, where the parmo's are greasy and the mothers are young
  3. You take that back! I'll have you know I found mine with the engine running on a cold winter morning, nice of them to just give it away I only say it as I'm from M'boro! Hahaa! What spec of car are you in? You been to any recent Falcon meets?

  5. Because it was probably a 370z? thats why its in the title lol.. the number plate was **51 ZED im guessing?? Bingo
  6. Was gunmetal, sure I've had a wave off you before in the same spot, just after the Shell station heading towards Thornaby
  7. Very nice! Exact setup I'm going for, getting the springs this weekend
  8. I've got this, most noticeable when using the clutch for reversing. Pauses for a bit then flicks out. Let me know if this solves your problem! Exactly. I was told this is common issue which can be sorted out by using braided clutch line and dismounting clutch slave cylinder and cleaning it or refurbishing it with new rubber rings. Did this fix the problem mate? So. I have replaced stock rubber line with braided and dismounted slave cylinder and cleaned it. Since it was Friday I put all back as I didn't have time to fabricate inner washers or seals or how do you call it. Definitely after cleaning and line pedal is much better and not "sticky" any more but to be 100% I need rubber parts Appreciate the info mate! I'll get a HEL line ordered from the group buy on here. Think the fresh bleed will help it too Sure it will be better. Plus I have found rebuild kit for slave cylinder and will go with that rather then with new rubber seals since the last coil od spring has been torn apart on mine Just had a quick look online and for the cost of a slave cylinder I think I might just replace it

  10. There's going to be a drive from Middlesbrough to Whitby for the day on the 24th May if you're interested. Check the local meets section

  12. Reg plate is VVM ** In the car park in the office next door to mine. Lovely looking car, had everyone in the office throughout the day mention it to me hahaa, you might have seen mine outside the front?
  13. Aaahhh! Finally put my mind at rest, now my OCD wants the blank one in the middle...
  14. What is the blank button for next to the heated seats button (Pre-facelift, GT Model)? Is this used for Sat-Nav or something?
  15. Love the back bumper, any chance of a picture further back with the full car? See how it sits with that rear diffuser
  16. Silver or GM? Also what day? If it was a Monday around 7:30pm it will have been me
  17. Cheers mate! Yeah I was at the last meet at Falcon, great bunch of lads!
  18. It was me indeed! Everyone else tries to get it sideways so why not do it properly with a proper car ey
  19. Top guys near me were charging less than half that for front bumper smooth and front end respray of bonnet, bumper and wings. They do a really top job, no back street garage. They have an original E-Type Superlight and Shelby Cobra in there so can't imagine they do half a job. Top reviews from everyone I've spoken to as well.
  20. Mine seems to come from the gearstick, not sure though
  21. +1 I think I'd cry if I discovered that to be the location of my local bodyshop. Although £3.5k does seem rather cheap for a full respray does it not? Pay peanuts you get monkeys....or maybe I am the monkey that has been ripped off in the past I'd have thought 3.5k was about right, if not then a bit expensive. Or is my sarcasm detector broken?...
