  1. You could have just painted the car green tbh...
  2. keying a surface means to make the surface rough (with fine sandpaper), but only slightly, so that paint can stick to it. If not keyed, it may not stick to the smooth surface
  3. People ask me "When are you gonna paint your bonnet?" I just flash them an evil look...
  4. For the Top Gun thing, rather than a flightsuit, one would surely opt for the white dress uniform for a more suave and sophisticated image... Go as a Ghostbuster perhaps? stick some straps onto your Dyson\Henry and away you go...
  5. I hope Brands reconsider in the future when the dust settles on this. I'm sure the Kentagon took a fair amount of trade that night. It was nice to see the more mature owners, and even some that brought their kids to look at cars (I even saw couples with babies and buggies) If at some point in the future the JAPT organizers could ask for a second chance, with the promise to try and keep more of a lid on things. Reassure the neighbourhood that any miscreants will have their numberplates noted and have them reported. Just so they know we are actually trying our best to keep it civilized rather than let anarchy rule. That's why this meet was a trial, and everybody knows that in most cases trials fail, but give you an idea of what to avoid in the future. Just my 2p worth.
  6. How long have you been here, mate? 1974 = born in Inverness, Scotland 1974 - 1980 = lived in Ipswich 1980 - 1995 = lived and raised in Germany (fluent in German, due to attending german schools) 1995 - current = living in Ipswich
  7. Go as : a Transformer a Thundercat a M.A.S.K. Agent one of the A-Team one of the Airwolf crew StreetHawk get a black leather jacket, tight jeans, a mullet wig and go as Micheal Knight one of the Villiage People One of the Care Bears one of the characters from Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors
  8. Well, when booking a room in The Dene in Chester (for the upcoming Wales Meet), I did notice in the hotel description that it was "gay friendly"....am I gonna get more than I bargained for?
  9. It's a shame really, I was going to give him\her a lesson in english grammar and spelling... Nothing irritates me more than people that live here, but have not made the effort to learn the language properly. I am chinese and have made that effort, so you won't be hearing "Beef flied lice" outta me. Total facepalm moment tbh...
  10. My knob as requested
  11. You called "Goldmember"?
  12. oil changes are easy. but did go to my local garage and put her on a lift, removed the plastic covers underneath and the oil filter is really easy to access.
  13. If you buy the K1 off CS, you'll get a full set of new bolts and gaskets too. My local garage fitted mine and because the OEM came off with no drama and the K1 slotted in nicely, they only charged me £17 for the pleasure. I also paid by way of a solo performance in the garage, the overture was with bungs, the main set was without bungs. Smiles all round was a definate sign of appreciation.
  14. I'd want a hard bound book for that money ...and at least one pic of a Zed in it...
  15. Nice one scoring the No.8, true chinese stylee
  16. Unless you want to appear on the evening news with a free video...
  17. The Chillies do sets of 5Zigen ProNuts in various colours, from memory they are anodised red, anodised blue and black. These are full sets of 20 nuts, 4 of them are locking nuts. They come in the standard length and also in extended length. If you have a look at AdrianK's car you see the red variety viewtopic.php?f=61&t=20314
  18. I have come to the conclusion as to why possibly the Zed ended up with the name Nigel. It's quick...perhaps like Nigel Mansell? Should have called the Zed Harry tbh, then you could give a similar story as to how "Harry met Sally", lol (cue restaurant scene, but in a car dealership instead...)
  19. I don't care about resale value, I'm just enjoying the ride.
  20. Ah, I see. Will keep a look out for the plate and a female Zed driver. You could modify your rear badge by turning the "Z" by 90 degrees, then you'll have a 350N-igel, lol
  21. That sounds promising Leon. Be sure to post up pics and further details once the prototypes are made up. Will be keeping an eye on this thread.
  22. Welcome to the forums sally. Should you ever spot a Zed that's silver with a carbon bonnet, that's me. rtbiscuit also lives in Ipswich, aswell as SilentKK8 (they too have silver ones) I have noticed an increase of Zeds in Suffolk tho. Seen a GM with a numberplate ending in FRR parked up a few roads from me. (gave me a wave once when I had spotted him the second time this week)
  23. I was trying to be curtious a few days ago, and fitted the bungs the night before my first dayshift. But sadly for my neighbours, half way thru my 12 hour shift, I removed them (had dent puller, 10mm spanner and No.5 allen key in car) I just love the bung-less sound too much. Should I cease posting within the next few weeks, then you'll know that I have been lynched by my neighbours (so get your "first dibs" on my parts NOW, rofl)
