prescience ''I

l could of tuned in far leaner as I didn;t need to worry with detonation due to the very high boost pressure.

What?

 

Hey-ho, what do I know - well (and it has taken me 3+ years to admit it), I would still have the Z if I hadn't ****-balled about going F/I. Tw*t that I was.

 

Digsy's correct and full of insight as always: he has the knowledge - please ignore my comments

My car is back to stock now and I am back in love with it again

 

I don't regret having done what I did but if i was to start again would most certainly leave my car n/a

 

I have learnt through this lesson that the zed is a brilliant car in its original incarnation

 

I totally fell out of love with my car in it's supercharged state....it just wasn't for me but I agree with mark that a well setup f/I car can be 100% safe.

 

Dorian is spot on with everything he has said.

 

Would I go f/I again .........absolutely not.

 

Will i love the car for what it is........absolutely

+1 all the way. But we still all did make that decision, why was that (?) .... I definitely don't have that answer

You are absolutely correct.....the fun was totally sucked out for me with all the extra attention it needed....I missed being able to drive it how I wanted to drive it....instead when driving I was constantly worried about damaging it....I will be happy to be n/a for the time being

 

run the car at a lower boost and your never have any problems.

 

You lot worry to much, a well set up 400bhp S/C will last as long as stock car , but as long as it is built well and set up well, Nurrish was running to much boost full stop and I told him that.

 

run a HKS kit, it is quiet, fits very well and makes good power @ a low boost level.

This may well be true, but it misses the point. Take it from me, you never rest easy as a F/I owner with the Z. You'd shouldn't have to go from the thrill of a fast overtaking move to the "ears out" concern before you put it back in the garage

I'm sorry I lost my normal login - but it may not surprise to note (given recent postings) that there is absolutely no long-term joy to be had for supercharging (can't speak for turbocharging) the Z. There is the constant feeling that the end is nigh (and/or that your investment is toast) and from personal experience the feeling that when you sell, the problem is ended is nowt but a relief.

 

Deep pockets required and £40k deep doesn't remove the feeling, I can assure you.

And out of the shadows comes the usual purveyor of doom and gloom

I'll take that on the chin as it's probably deserved

But the evidence is that unless you have specialist backup (Alex, Abbey etc) UK F/I owners do much less mileage and/or bail out quickly. I think that's because you are constantly listening to every little noise, checking your gauges and convincing yourself all is really OK. That removes a lot of the pleasure - well it did for me at least.

You like your football, so I'll leave you a tap-in, perhaps it'd have been better if I had said nothing
