Hello and thanks Phil

Hi,

 

I've been a lurker for a while and bought my Z about 3 weeks ago. Its an 03 in Silver and have to say lovin her more every time I get in her. I've been a biker in the past but had a "biggie" last year so no longer allowed one (according to her indoors). Always admired the Z ever since I saw it in the 04 ECOTY and although I came very close to buying a Focus ST I am extremely glad I didn't. Anyhoo...

 

After seeing most of the recommendations on the site and the utter joy of realising I had a specialist almost on my doorstep I though i'd pay bigphil at ESR a visit. As everyone has said lovely fellas, know there stuff and lots of spangly shiny bits :). I was initially just going down to get my tracking done but once I got there I wanted more. So I booked in for a JWT Popcharger and Plenum spacer to be fitted the next day after Phil. Comforted by the new EVO mag and a bucket of tea I relaxed while all the hard work was done by Andy (I think?). The filter sounds the mutts and I think the plenum seems to have made 4-6k a little sharper. Tracking is better but still isn't right but as phil suggested I think this is due to having an odd tyre on the rear, so gonna have to get those new Rotas now cos obviously can't just buy the tyres :)

 

Thanks Phil will be back soon :)

Did exactly the same thing.. only went in to have my camber sorted and ended up with a new alloy on the front, a pop charger, a new Y pipe, P1 service, and new disks and pads :lol:

 

Great team at ESR though!

Thanks for the welcomes.

 

you only live about 20 mins away from you buddy in cramlington. hope to see you around sometime.

 

Crammy, excellent, used to live on Blagdon estate when I was a nipper and crammy industrial was my wheelie practice ground, surely an impromtu drift (attempt) session round there would be a laugh B)
