Welcome back fella

I'm slightly naughty by having two - maximum. On the basis I've had food or having food with the couple of drinks. Next day I'm also conscious of how much was consumed the night before, more so now that I'm older but when I was younger I wouldn't hesitate to step into the car next morning - even with a hangover. I've only ever been done for speeding offences and I would be confident in saying that I'm considerate enough to make sure I'm within the law these days. Not only for the law's sake, but for mine and others who share the road. I had a friend of mine who's been done twice for drunk driving, he learnt his lesson the second time. I have lost my licence previously for 6 months, and that was hell. 2 Years I'd probably probably go nuts, and for that added reason I just don't drink and drive. Not sure what exactly occurred with Rooney and the volumes/reading recorded, although it's quite clear what the limits are, go over and get caught you're nicked. Who knows, maybe Rooney has been drink driving for years, just never caught. He has been caught and this whether the first or 100th time, he's a stupid lad. He'll likely get a reduced charge being who he is and just pay a hefty fine.

Nope can't see the issue?

Ahh yes now I remember you

Who?

Kinetic and APS are I believe the only two companies that make this sort of strut brace. Getting a APS is tough as they're discontinued.

I've not dealt with the 1/2" spacer, and I'm not sure if you can raise the strut brace enough without then the brace hitting the bonnet. I'm sure with 1/2" spacers you need a completely different design strut brace, one that comes forward of the plenum, rather than over. Example https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-350z-strut-tower-brace-p-10358.html Unless you're boosted a 1/2" spacer is no better than a 5/8 spacer.

Long time ago I had "Multiple Miss-fire" which wasn't dependent upon any one singular cylinder. This miss-fire would only occur when starting the car, or when giving it beans. This went on for 6 months before I then received a specific code error against coil pack 5. From what you're saying it sounds coil pack related. Personally, I would source a spare coil pack. Keep it in the car with some tools until the time comes that your failing coil pack has let go! Fit and carry on. This is one of those issues you can't nail with a direct repair. You could go round swapping coil packs but due to the intermittent miss-fire it's going to take ages to identify, and by then it's likely the offending coil pack will identify itself.

Had mine now some 4 years, fantastic exhaust, I'd probably say the best there is for the Zed. I couldn't agree more on using lower gears, and the sound is just the nuts! I guess you won't be going Electric just yet then

Great list Stu

Race Dash 2 remains...... make me an offer.......

Feck - after spending all that dough dude.... feel your pain, I'd be truly gutted! Whilst I'm sure this is of no help whatsoever, custom builds of this level was the main reason I avoided building my VQ and swapping to V8. I'm also no mechanic, but you're continuously repairing this damn car dude, get shot of it, you're already knee deep in build costs and it doesn't sound like it's getting any better. Forking out on a built engine and now this.... mate seriously I'd be looking at throwing the towel in.

Hold on a mo didn't you buy a built bottom end? I'm confused here....

To be fair she survived like a champ. She needs a new nearside arch liner from excessive speed forcing the liner onto the wheel. Just a small'ish hole. Apart from that and drinking 3/4 of a tank of fuel she was fine.

I sure was, I'll take dibs on the RS. Cheers Stu

Ahh ok cool. Like it though.

Quick question - @Lexx or @SuperStu Within the area "edit profile" you have the option to include the avatar pic, I see you both have a pic stretching the width of the page, which is behind the avatar. Where is the option to upload or amend this area? Cheers

That last file looks a tad over 500x100 surely the system should have said "too large?"

That's actually smaller than the requirements of no more than 500 x 100....

120k miles on my clutch and when taken out (due to engine swap) there was still plenty of life left. The OEM clutch is perfectly fine and fit for purpose. if there's one thing that causes issues and catestrophic problems is oil usage. Just keep a close eye.

Whats wrong with your supercharged 370?

Stevo is looking for a £420 bottle of champagne!

Nice pic with Paul and Colin as well (including CAT ZED) Cheers Jo, top banana!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I'm sure I'll have won the champagne based on Saturday's events! "Your training will include an experience of a wetted as well as a dry surface on the Steering Pad at the Millbrook Proving Ground. There will also be a bottle of Champagne for the best Drifting God on the day."
