Viper

I may sell my 07 Azure Blue soon, currently sitting around 30K miles, its in great condition and stock

the ramps are £2200 installed (they have to aligned, bolted down and wired up by the company) and lift about 1 metre, they do a set that go's to 1.7 metres but then you had to crouch underneath and you need a tall garage. Supplied 6"x6"x1" square rubber blocks on the jacking points were used

the concrete has been cut and the ramps are flush with the floor so you can just drive over them without knowing they are there. His garage isnt quite complete as there are ceramic tiles to be laid

my mate has a discount card for vauxhall, same spec oil go's in the VXR's, so 5 litres which they sell for £48 was £17, bargain

cant wait maybe next time, as im popping to my mates and using his recently installed ramps

nice one thanks !

whats recommended for a 2007 ? was gonna try and pick some up on the way home

(tried the search feature nothing jumped out at me)

no 'Bishopscourt Racing Circuit' near Downpatrick

it appears on google earth

a little run down but good enough for a few fun laps, looks like it was once an airfield

in July/Aug i went to watch a round of the Irish drift series at a track about 30 mins from Belfast (a 15 year old lad was leading the series ! and a great driver) the track was in the middle of no-where i reckon it would be fairly to cheap to hire

Im flying out again on friday for a long weekend, so ill get some more info

I remember a headline in the papers about ten years ago, how a young humble nurse purchased a new Dodge Viper (£60k or something). They told how she lived on the cheap, buying cheap stuff and saved up the money to buy it. A real heart warming story...until the last paragraph where you found out that she saved something like £15k and borrowed the rest! What a joke. Was probably out there striking about pensions yesterday...

 

...that said I do know a lot of people are using credit cards to pay for everything now, but using the cashback on them (a couple of percent) they then just pay off the full amount end of each month without interest and gain the extra. They have self control though.

the nurse is Nadine a good friend of mine who i met through the viper club, youll see her all over google with her viper she still has her GTS and does lots of track stuff with it, she brought it aged 23

the bit about 'probably' striking you couldnt of got it more wrong, Nadine still works long night shift hours and volunteers for any extra hours to fund hers cars and track habit

my excuse is im a bit country'fied so the surrounding roads get real mucky after the slightest bit of drizzle, Z tax run out in nov and i got the use of another couple of motors.

So polished up under the car cover and on with the Optimate, tucked up against the heater for a few months...

i just sorned for the first time since i started driving, and ive been given a months hol and the sun is out, though its a little nippy

i go to belfast a few times a year to visit a mate, the coastal/mountain roads are stunning and are practically deserted

there's a brand new £92M titantic museum being built and should open in time for the anniversary

will do thanks !

no, only got the car back on thursday night after the new flywheel was fitted

forgot to mention there is another noise when in neutral you can here a faint grinding noise, that come and go's once when clutch is depressed/released

OK thanks,

'07 GT manual on 26K miles, the noise is there on start up every time and goes after a few miles. Would have to check but im sure it doesnt do it once warm. No other issues with it

anyone in the West mids have any knowledge of the Z gearbox ?

mine has developed an annoying 'machine gun' noise which disappears after a few miles

ive just swapped the clutch and flywheel thinking that was the problem but it wasnt..

i know nothing about the system but am not surprised that plugging a laptop in doesnt work

have you tried putting your music onto a USB memory stick and using that to transfer it over?

for old times then

old clutch at 26K miles / new Exedy clutch

great service from zedworld, i received the old parts and pics of the work being carried

ive used the other place next door to for my other cars in the past for a few years

good service there as well.

i was brought up in Coleshill just a few mins walk from these garages before escaping to Kingsbury

(just had the call and my Z is ready for collection)

after chatting to the owner this morning, zedworld have other 350Z customers

having the clutch replaced with parts supplied by ZMANALEX

im dropping my Z off for the first time tomorrow at Zedworld in Coleshill, not 350 specialists but they are more than happy to work on my car, ill let you know how i get on.

There's been a 10 day wait to get in, so hopefully thats a good sign

i can make one for you, any size you like.

Ive ran several sticky plates for years on other cars and have never had a problem, though the less friendly MOT places may ask you to put the correct plate on.

OK cheers, not to far away for me

ive just send them an email

thanks by CS i take it you mean cougar store, where abouts are they ? as it doesnt mention location on their website
