Jay zee Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Not really into instagram etc anymore so thought I'd join to post some fiddy bits up. Photos are completely catfishing. Paint looks atrocious atm, clutch slave cylinder needs replaced and rear track rod ends gone.. but its all good! Can still rev it up on my driveway till I have time to fix her😂👍🏼 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) You brought Andy’s car (Panman) on here. Azure blue, custom made centre hub rims. Stunning car and a good friend and we’ll known member. That car was kept in top mechanical condition and always looked outstanding. Congratulations on owning a gem .

Hi there, unfortunately the car wasn't looked after at all. I foolishly believed everything he told me about the car. Very long story short, I was hit with a 3k bill in total to have the car just road worthy. Without saying too much, the previous owner just popped some flashy parts on and let it rot away in the garage. But all that's in the past. She's in caring hands now, hopefully can bring her back to it's former glory😊🙌🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any receipts for them unfortunately but I do recall being told they were around 4-5k possibly more with the import charges. I do know there's only 2 sets in the world currently and the other set is on a wide bodied 911 in the states. They require 500nm to tighten them.. absolute nightmare!!

davey_83 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Ello n welkom Chuffed the cars gone to a great owner. I had his last set of wheels off him (Varrstoen ES2) and was shocked when he went to these as it's a brave choice. I hear what you saying, as Andy didn't use the car much and cars actually do like use. It's always the cars that are pulled out of the garage every now again, that develop unforseen problems. Can't wait for further updates 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 You brought a show car, not a daily essentially. They were £5k to make FYI. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for further updates 👍 They're very very cool wheels just really impractical with the centre locks. Would love a set of Work S1's to replace them with😍 Hey it's all in the past now, just need to find a good paint guy now to bring the paint back to life. I love the style of those Varrstoen's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing jap is going to replace me diesel German daily😂😂 Yeah my last Rotiforms were about the same (even though their barrels are made of chocolate😬) Would love to know the specs of the RVL's though. Their absolutely perfect for the Z. You'd struggle to fit a 20 quid note between the faces and calipers🤌🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay zee Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Yeah a quick wipe with a tea towel and sorted😂 I deactivated it a few months ago. Was spending far too much time on it. Finger's crossed I could attend some Z meets when she's a bit more presentable🤞🏼 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
