I used to go to the Woodford airshow every year as a kid, and it was often there... i think planes were still flying over crowds then (20 years ago?), and i remember the Vulcan flying above us and then opening its bomb-bay doors, with a rusty creaking noise... was well eerie..!

Well done Wasso

Very good... im in Cheshire so you would have passed near me... 100% import tax - ouch, i feel for you mate

Just seen these on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-Suspe ... 23103d1a94 Was tempted myself bought though better of it...

Welcome Stefan, nice to have you on board... Do you have any pics of the car you've bought, or any further info? Thats a big comitment importing a car... did you come to the UK to view it?

I believe the goodridge ones dont have stainless steel fitments, so the HEL ones are better...

Plugs dont need changing officially until 56k i think, and even then its probably not required (according to Lockwood & Greenwoods, anyway). I'd personally only dothe belt you need, plus engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and air filter...

Sounds like overkill if you ask me... whats your mileage?

:pmr35lee: and welcome mate...

I've got no idea... he turned up at the large KK meet in manchester last month... everyone there seemed alright, then he turned up, revving his car like a clown in an 'everybody look at me' manner.... and i was just thinking 'No thanks'...

Or PM CS... another trader.

I am... I paid my dues and then only sold 1 LED kit before selling my zed... I want to get a working concept this week if possible before deciding what to do... im not sure i'l bother going down the remote control route as that just increases the cost... i might just put it on a 3 way rocker switch.

Thanks Mike. Welcome Yoyo... Yes, i had an Auto for 2.5 years, and i loved it. I've now got a manual, which is also excellent but totally different. All Auto's are in fact Semi Auto, or 'Tiptronic' as its known. They have 5 gears, but you just select 'Drive' and it will use all gears from there. However if you push the gearstick to the left you go into tiptronic mode, and then pushing back or forwards on the stick changes gear for you. There is about a 1 second delay when doing this. Speed wise, the Auto's are just as quick as the manual in my opinion, although you do lose some of the fun as you cant change down and match the revs heel & toe style with the auto... If you do a lot of driving and sit in traffic jams, then the auto is an excellent option. They're very reliable too - i've only read of 1 failure in several years on here... compared to a lot og clutch/gearboxes on the manual cars... Lastly, you probably allready know this but all Auto's are imports, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Welcome Laura

Will do bud...

Just received matey - legend. Shows me exactly what i needed to know. Thats the rest of my week off sorted now...

Cheers buddy, PM sent.

Hi all, To all the people who bought the motorised number plate brackets last year - has anyone got any pictures of the device before you fitted it? I want to make my own from scratch... i've been coming up with a few designs myself and trying to make my own linear actuator - but looking at one of the pictures on the Swift website the unit appears to be driven by a pulley? Is this correct? Any pictures would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Jeysus....

Any of you guys know anyone who works on a rig near Brazil? A scottish lad (early 20's) bought my previous zed last May, and he said he spends the majority of his time on a rig of the coast of Brazil... i told him to join the forum but he never did... and i cant remember his name.

Looks good. Love the wheels, i like the front lip, but not a fan of the gold on the side... they remind me of this shocker at a recent meet:

Looking good bro.

Noooooooooooooooooooo! But very nice wheels. What are they? They look similar to mine..

Yes i've seen them on 2 or 3 cars round here.... quite funny.
