mate... +1 to the build thread... would be interesting to follow your progress.

Sweeeet mate! I like the mods on the last pic especially

oooh, she's nice mate!

You forgot the one item of your agenda that is guaranteed. ................................................More Petrol !!!! Welcome to the club! lol

and congrats on your Z mate! wise choice!!

Hello and !! :wave: Pics?

Meh, it looks original, but wouldn't want that on my Z... yours looks much better mate IMHO!

Hey mate, welcome! Congrats on your Z, she sounds stunning!

the zed looks well nice m8, Thanks mate

mate! Yep, I've just bought a Z myself, and having browsed online saw quite a few within that price bracket! Goodluck in your search Can't help you much I'm afraid since I'm a n00b myself... so I'll let the elders reply... which they do pretty promptly

Thanks, and thank you all for the very nice greetings! Btw... your 350's look stunning! Have to get around to make mine as shiny Spoke to the freight people this morning, my Z is sitting on a transporter currently travelling from Bristol all the way to almost Rome... can't wait! Should have it in Malta by Monday

I got the car with a Kent, so I ordered a custom bell housing to fit in a 1.3L Fiesta Zetec-S... this will make registration far easier. My plan is to swap it out with a 1.7L Zetec-SE engine (the one used for the Puma) once I get the registration process done. Just finished wiring up the ECU, but have not been able to spend much time on it as of late, since I'm working on a contract in Saudi Arabia, which is keeping me away from the garage

Nice! Ping me when you're around... we can sample some Maltese beer

That's great! Pm me closer to the date and maybe we can get together for a beer or so

Yeah, Malta used to charge Vat on registration tax too a few years back... Now they stopped that for cars with more than 6k miles, andinstead they charge registration tax based on emissions, car value, power and some other secret variables Unfortunately the Z fits in the higher brackets for all of these. Re Danish taxes, my Danish workmate told me about those... And there's some other country at 200%! That's criminal! Thankfully the Danish also have some pretty good salaries

That is so nice to hear! Thank you what is the yellow car btw? Looks similar to a car i'm building... A lotus 7 kit from tiger in my case

Lol i sure hope so too

Welcome to the forum mate I'm new here myself

I agree that it has lost some character... I also am glad it did in a way since at least we have 'some' good roads now Country roads are still rubble though. I really wanted to drive it all the way over, but unfortunately I am a software contractor and am currently stuck on a contract till June... so no spare time

Lol, I sure don't blame you I do have another car for daily use, since as you say, the roads here are mostly crap

Yep, after running the full suite of HPI checks and Odometer tests, I flew up to Yorkshire and spent the weekend driving around the UK.. hit Cheshire, Liverpool, Stratford, Leamington spa and finally Bristol, where I left it in a warehouse (was very painful). I'll attach a pic of what the car looks like right now... though I've got plans to have plans for it hehe ... once I know more what the limits are. The worst part is the import tax in Malta, since it's literally 100% of the price I bought it in the UK ... otherwise I'd have gone for a 370Z... though I think I still prefer the 350

Hey all... just bought myself a 350Z from the UK and am currently having it shipped to Malta... will hopefully have it by Monday... can't wait! I know this is meant to be a UK only forum, but there's no such forum in Malta (and no point in there being one since there are no 350Z's anyway)... so I hope you all have no objection for me to be a member here
