Hi Mitch... sorry to read this.

If it was the chap I met (when parked next door to you recently) then he did come across as a very genuine and nice chap... but obviously had a skeleton the size of a dinosaur in the closet......

I hope the polishing and post-polish wine will help lessen the memory....

Yes a bit of a 'roll', but car stock except ferodo pads. Need to improve on brakes though as significant fade after 15 mins (Rock International is a brake killer though...)... after ~1hr they had cooled sufficiently for next session. I've sent PMs to the traders who should be able to help/advise

Overall though car handled great, with very predictive handling (ESP off)... as we should expect for a performance vehicle with strong reviews ...

Jap Fest2 at Rockingham (Aug 2010).

I had the registration on another car, and rather than keep on retention I placed on the Zed - I then learnt that 'S30' was the original code name for the 240Z - a happy coincidence

...last one..

As above... big thanks to Martin (always far more pain in organising these events than meets the eye

Good to meet some of the 350Z crowd.

Mitch - please let me know again the name/model of your rear light units - looked very smart following you up the road (plus I'm going to have to clay/polish my car so it's as bright as your GM !).

The track sessions with ~6 cars were great, my last one with ~25 cars was more of a procession with some crazy driving... inlcuding overtakes on yellow flag

Some pictures.... sorry for the [justified] bias towards one car...

cancel that - just saw your latest post

Blue Coupe and GM Cabriolet. Both with professional bike racks fitted.

No doubt having some bike fun at the event ?

is there any performance benefit in spacers, or just the fact you get benefit with lowered car and spacers will help balance the look ?

is there any -ve for using spacers ?

I'm just old school when mini's etc were fitted with spacers for looks alone.... and the quality was suspect.

nice

will have to find out if you visit Brands or Snett ?

Hi there

What are these like on stock car with Rays ? do they need spacers for looks ? (which I don't want to fit).

thanks...

(I'm assuming you researched this so will save me time and effort

... and the car/wheel colour combo looks great....

some pictures

the wheels were wet from washing car... (you can see where water has rub around spoke) and had ~100 miles on them so some dust...

(ping me if anyone does want the voucher)

ok - ok I'll post a picture later...

NOTE - I have a 15% off voucher if anyone wants it ? (has to be used by 1st June though) that's a £30 saving - so four wheels for £170

Alloy Wheel Art - Southend on Sea

Full refurb. Powder finish, baked in oven all on same day (car has to be with them before 0900, and then avail at 1730).

£50 + VAT per wheel.

Very pleased with results - Rays with a Silver metallic (he really liked these wheels

Some good reviews on piston heads as well - which is where I found them.

Was going to use same as RTbiscuit, but this is nearer for me, plus I took train in to London for some sightseeing and lunch

Many thanks Attak and Martin.

Hotel Riu Arecas - looks good (just shows as half board for dates required - but good enough - and very good reviews). Others also look good - but more pennies - esp as all inclusive available.

(Martin - I forgot to mention we might be joining them so your place not quite big enough

Cheers again...

My daughter, son-in-law and grandson want an all inclusive holiday in the sun during mid-May at a 'reasonable' price (with kids club).

Thinking of Canary Islands.

Any recommendations ?

(There's a lot of choice out there, but most have very mixed reviews on trip advisor - so any actual experience and reviews greatly appreciated).

Thanks

PM sent

Rich - I rang wicked wheels and they quoted £70+VAT per wheel for mobile refurb, with a one year guarantee.

Roo - that's a good price at £45 per corner.

Any about to come up for sale ?

(before I pay to have mine re-furbished).

Thanks....

Sorry can't make this one. Will try and make another and/or organise another meet (still feeling guilty after missing RTbiscuits last gathering

Welcome (and another ex-VX220 owner

Need to do this on my daughter's focus. I have a new/used boot lock assembly, and all I have to do is change the 'lock' from hers. Supposed to be an easy job... but I just can't see how.

any help/advice ?

thanks
