Welcome to the forum.

Lockdown, non car shows, racing, etc forced me to book the Clio into a new Detailer local to me. Black cars are a sod to clean at the best of times and she has serious swirl marks all over which I cannot get out by hand. The pics below are stunning but are in a studio with bright lights. Took this photo in the real world. Wont come out of the garage ever again, need to find a new track car!! lol

So looking forward to seeing her Martin.

Very nice Steve!

Nice work Colin. Don't be too hard on the old girl. If it was an Audi R8 V8 you would have to take the motor out to sort the air con!

Congratulations Steve! So glad you didn't wander off into the dark side.

Probably the best shocks to put on a Zed and on my wish at some point. GLWTS

Very nice. Loving that alloy bracket.

Well done Andy. Have you got a name for it yet! Lol

Welcome along to the forum. There are Many topics on here regarding clutches and some very helpful traders who will be able to sort you out.

Good progress Andy.

Im sure many of you are aware that this event has been scheduled later this year to amalgamate the cancelled Japfest from last month and the usual trax event due in October. https://www.fastcar.co.uk/japfest-silverstone/ At this time I'm reluctant to reinstate the original thread for Japfest as we already have many members that have paid out for tickets/track time and will not receive a refund but a voucher for next year. As things stand the current social distancing guidelines would make an event as large as this impossible to stage so I think it's best we all sit back and wait and see how things develop over the coming weeks. Hoping you are all keeping safe. Andy.

Gunmetal,evil eyes is a good combo mate.

Welcome along Andy. Nice looking motor. 20mm spacers all round are fine for the Rays without compromising the handling.

Looking good Ian. AMR undertones. I like it.

Looking good Martin. The temptation to polish those dash tops would be eating me!! Lol

Coming on nicely mate!

Unfortunately the calendar for the larger shows are booked the year before and the likes of Silverstone,Goodwood,Donnington are usually booked solid throughout the summer season. I find it hard to believe that any of the major events that have been affected can be rescheduled to later in the year unless we all fancy Japfest in November! Keep safe everyone and hopefully I will get my Z forum job back soon!!

Thanks Alex.

For many reasons I've mothballed the Z after last season for a lot longer than ever before. She has been tucked up in the garage since last October with the tyres pumped up to 50 psi to stop flat spots. I want to get her out and start the engine but as you all know the cold start on a Z is quite fast and I'm worried that the dry internals on my rather expensive engine will grind themselves to death before the oil pump kicks in! Buster recons there is an earth wire on the HR engine which can be disconnected to allow me to crank the engine over for a while to get the oil pressure up before the motor fires. Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Coming along nicely mate.

The old keyser would have had 2 exhaust tips welded on the table for the bottle of oil and a full fat coke! Nice work buddy. Maximum effort and slimming!!
