Chesterfield

This really does sound interesting for the folk interested in performance mods. Heck with straight engine transplants, it makes it as easy as falling off a log!

Common as muck you know. Mind you mine has the black roof. I didnt fancy the Blue, as I thought it may look as though I didnt really want a convertible so tried to hide the fact by getting a blue roof to match the car. LOL. Cant find a picture though - I'll have to have a flick through the brochures I have, (unless they have been consigned to the bin by the missus now she actually has the car)

Jacko, If you want to email them to me, I can put them in the meets section of the gallery - no quotas there...

Hi, Firtly thanks to Jacko for organising the best days driving Ive had in my Z. The numberof people who litterally stopped to watch as we drove through their town was amazing. Some bizzare young kids even clapped?! Did anyone else see the Infiniti G35 going in the opposite direction?!? Just before we turned round in Betws-y-Coed. The weather stopped nice and dry right until the end of the trip, which was brilliant. Gave the Z its first propper day out with the roof down. Appologies for turning up late, and thanks again to Jacko for his great organisation (hope you like the rod you've made for your back ) Thanks to Val for the Italian cookies, but did anyone else miss the Ice cream? Thats the bit of the title that first caught my eye! Ta, Chris.

In the Donny show gallery boss.

Weather doesnt look likethe best, but at least it shouldnt be cold. Odd bit of sunshine apparenly too! Setting off for the M56 J14 area very shortly.

Sounds very clever - and very possible. Only time will tell I suppose.

Route all plannedinto the trusty Tom Tom. Just in case Im left at the lights again! LOL.

Ta. Sherwood forrest duly removed.

Hey dont worry Val, at least your missus isn't systematicaly damaging the car at every opportunity.

Ahh. Back in a bit.

Yup - rained here too - not until after id fitted the Z valve caps and got the chrome grill done though!

I did PM the chap, but it looks like he is having waayyy too much fun with the Sagaris - who can blame him! Ive just found that the Z store and modacar.com do the greddy kit and do international shipping too - the kit is about $1000 so just got to wait for a shipping quote and I may have some new looks for the summer.

Hi! Welcome aboard. Ive replied to the PM . Hope you enjoy the community here.

Its national donut weekend isn't it?

Probably about 8am. maybe a bit before.

To be honest guys, its a bit out of my way to go down to Belper to make a cross country journey to the meeting point - Id have to be setting off at 6:50 or 7 to meet you guys at 7:30 in order to get to the M56 for 9. I reckon the best route forme is over the snake pass (A623) straight through to stockport and onto the M56. See you at the main start line? That way you dont have to wait around for me, or any of us have to start extra early just to form a mini convoy.

Yes - I think it will be chips away for the bumper, but to be honest its the dent that bugs me the most.

I know. But we deemed a 7:30 start too early for us. (we are lazy). So decided that more right foot would make the time up.

Yes please! before and after pics would be great! Im on the lookout for someone to sort mine out too. Mines more toward the rear arch though. Ive got some scrapes on the front bumper to sort out too. I swear the missus has got fed up with the Z but doesn't want to tell me. She went and curbed one of the bloody rays yesterday! .

Where abouts are the three who are departing from Chesterfield meeting at 8am?

I looked at the crossfire when it forst came out, and was very dissapointed. The dash and interior looks as though its been ripped straight out of a 1990 Ford Sierra. Its awful. The hatch window in the rear is stupidly small and wrecks any practicality. The TT's are as common as muck. They are based on a Golf platform, as is the A3, Leon and Skoda Octavia. TT's will vary from 150hp up to the 240bhp R32 engined version. All look the same, which although they look good, they are common as muck, and really dont draw the attention that they once used to. The 350Z may not have the build quality of the Audi, but it certainly is more fun, and certainly creates more interest than the Audi.

Yep - its a clarion through and through, with the BOSE logo on it. I think there are a few components that are BOSE, the sub and speakers. (hence the 2ohm resistance). The head unit itself is manufactured by Clarion, I have in the past been informed by BOSE that they have taken this particular issue up with Clarion, as obviously BOSE didnt want their name attached to substandard equipment. Apparently an issue was fixed on earlier models, so a NEW headunit (and by new it has to be new, not a refurb from someone else who sent a faulty one back) should cure the problem. I would respond to the email from BOSE stating that you are dissatisfied with a product that has their logo on it. Are they satisfied to have their logo on a stereo which has a known fault? This BOSE badged stereo has put you off buying any BOSE equipment in the future, and you will be reccomending your family and friends stay away from them as they clearly are only interested in your money, and not the manufacture of quality goods - or they would be more interested in the faults displayed by this unit they deemed worthy of their logo... That should make someone listen. (pardon the pun)

As I say, wait until Ive sorted the latest unwanted mod first. Ill guinea pig the spoiler. Im sure it shouldn't be that far out - we can always offer it up to the boot and see what its like.

I think the money will be spent fixing the scrapes on the front bumper that Mrs Chesterfield has managed to put on with a little help from the garage brickwork.
