Chesterfield

Me too...

We could make it 8am start from here, but that would probably require a little more in the way of the loud pedal on the journey over to J14 M56...

Thats about a 7:30 start for us then Kev.

J14 M56 is about 1hr 30 from Chesterfield, so an 8am start from there would be 06:30 for us. Maybe a little early? Im happy to do it if its easier for everyone else, but perhaps a 10am or 9:30am start would be better for all. That would be an 8:30 or 8am start for us Chesterfield dwellers.

Thats a bit hypocritical Mike! I have some shiny chrome stuff from Halfords to put on my Z - wonder where that idea came from

Its getting out of control now. hits coming in at a rate of about 200 per second. (try refreshing and look at the counter) This is the ripple effect at work!

Yes - so far Val is the only coupe with a speed racing kit as far as I know. He would hardly be slagging off his own kit! LOL. Still no luck on sourcing a Greddy though. And BT seem tohave stuffed my internet connection again at home, so Ill not be doing much looking over the weekend! Doh.

That made me chuckle. Dont get a Blue one! I want to remain rare.... Ooops. Too late.

Val has the speed racing kit. I dont know how much a full greddy is. Cant find a UK distributor, or even a US one that will ship to the UK. in the US, Ive found it for about $1000 which is about £600. Not too bad, but if I cant get it in the UK, then Ill have to see if I can get some friends in the US to take delivery and arrange to post it to me!

Hi ! Welcome aboard - hope you enjoy the site. Be sure to get some picture up in the gallery. I can fully empathise with your situation, the Z is my better halves daily drive, and I get an oil burning Golf on a daily basis. Not anywhere near asmuch fun on dry roads on sunny days. I think Im going to hide the keys.

I think a full Greddy is on the cards then.

Spotted a Yellow GT 4 - reg ending 3ZZZ Travelling through clay cross, Chesterfield at about 2:15pm today.

I now need some more advice. We (yes its a joint decision with the missus) have decided that we really like the Greddy kit. Well, at least the front lip and side skirts. As for the rear - thats where the advice comes in. Heres the front and sides. And yes - they do make a twin exit rear, but its a little "plain"... The rears that we may consider puttng with this are: The Nismo. and The Kaminari: Anyone got any other ideas on the rear?

Sure! Put me down for this too - Kev, if you want to meet up an drive over to the "start line" together let me know when and where to meet you. Should be great if we can get a decent convoy together!

Some very nice motors there. Hope the TVR badge lives on and gets through this current low. If it wasnt for the daily drive factor, and the lack of safety/control features and the fact the missus has to use her car throughout the winter, we may have ended up with a Tuscan or T350. Im sure you will be grinning from ear to ear this summer!

Ah yes, I did get some close ups of the lovely pink Z. Also the snapped driveshaft Unfortunatley my view was obscured by either a chainlink fence, or a pesky R33 which prevented me from getting any decent action shots (oo err). Ill get them up ASAP.

There are some known issues with the synchro apparently, but Im not too clued up on the details of these Im afraid. I am sure someone will be along to provide an answer soon. Welcome to the site by the way - Hope you enjoy it!

Thats going to be waaayyy too loud.!! The kit certainly looks well though. Suits the Kuro really well.

We had a good snoop round the ones on display at donnigton, on the Magnaflow roadster. The quality of the brackets is not the issue, it is the doors on the Z, that cause the "wobbly effect". They dont have an inner solid frame apparently, which means when they are suspended in the air like that, they can wobble from side to side quite easily, which puts stresses on the mountings that they shouldnt have to take. The doors on the Z are very long too, which adds to the effect. Unfortunately they do have to open quite wide as well as go upward, which negates the "practicality" pottential somewhat. If they went straight up, without having to come out very far at all, they would be quite practical. For now though, they just ook quite cool!

Whats the answer?......

I like that. Very nice. Of course the GTR would be my favourite though

Then compromise between the dark and light, with a blue.. Look what you have started. LOL.

From my limited experience, it seems that Blue is certainly one of the most popular colours, followed by gunmetal, then and blade(silver) or Kuro (black) The black certainly looks the part when polished up, though with any darker colour, its keeping it that way that poses the problem!

I like the speed racing kit too! I dont want to nick all Vals ideas though - LOL. Just a fair few of them.
