Penultimate event of the season:

At the start of the year I fitted new discs and pads ready for the season. I went for Black Diamond (i think) slotted discs and PBS Comp Pads. I noticed after a few events hairline fractures/cracks in the discs but just ignored them as they didn't seem to get any worse. Well during this weekend at Blyton, they had developed from just a hairline crack to more like the grand canyon. You can see all the hairline ones i mentioned but I think you will agree it might not be advisable to be slamming on the anchors from 110mph to 30mph on track with these. The other side - pic below - crack wend all way through the disc! So with a full weekend at Curborough this weekend coming I thought i better not risk them, Tarmac Sportz to the rescue who only had Pagid "standard" discs in stock but with only today to fit them I couldn't wait to order anything so a trip to Derby in the morning and then got them fitted this afternoon. Thanks Chris. And while I was at Tarmac HQ, I picked up my diff brace I had ordered and fitted that as well, with the abuse I give the car, its a bit of extra reassurance the diff wont part ways with the subframe anytime soon. Video of Blyton to follow below, safe to say, I need a gearbox rebuild asap

Hi there, also noticing deterioration of my windscreen seal. It has come loose near the top end of the seal. Did you find something?

There's no stutter on power, it's smooth as butter all the way to the red line. It's not caused by the car.

Thanks see you there

Looking good you guys. See you folks tomorrow 🤗

Your zed is looking in great shape now buddy, credit to you👍I had the same rear bumper on my previous zed

Certainly a bit odd. Does the same thing on both runs by the look of it. I wonder if it’s transmission related. The AFR doesn’t do anything wonky. I wouldn’t have thought the car was climbing the rollers, it’s not like it’s big power turbo car that suddenly comes on power.

Thanks! Allot of effort went into it. So glad it worked out just right.

The clear lights, wheels and door handles really pop off the pristine looking paint. That's a fine looking z.

Currently loving the exterior cosmetics of the red zed. The refurbed alloys. The chargespeed rear and the clear lenses/indicators plus the jdm clear tails all bring the rear together. So happy with the way it turned out.

Sold

Sorry, the coilovers have gone. I've a set of Ark lowering springs advertised if they're of any use?

Another piece of the puzzle! Crankshaft is checked and ready for installation. And last Sunday and Monday I could enjoy the Z again on Circuit Meppen. What a fantastic car to drive on the track! 🤗😍

Thanks for replying 🙂

TBH I've never fitted air ride, I've always gone with coil overs on previous toys and either had the cars lowered and mostly ended up bashing the heck out the front, or had them higher that I might as well have stuck with stock. Airlift isn't cheap either so if I end up making the wrong choice it's the thick end of £5,000. A set of Tein Flex Zs are >£1000.

Air ride looks cool but not sure how it rides. Adjustable coilovers?

As above, very good condition. £80, prefer collection but willing to post at +p&p

Now sold

I'm not far from Solihull, however Midlands folks are meeting at Hopwood Services 8:30am

Horsham put it down to a glitch with the dyno, but it could also have been the wheels climbing the roller and jumping

What on earth is going on between 5500 and 6000rpm?

Is anyone meeting in Solihull for the drive out there if so what time please

September Cotswold Breakfast Meet.....

Looking great fella
