  2. Ouch! Sorry to see this Steve. That's the reason I've decided when my car is finnished it's never coming out of the garage! Lol.
  3. Thanks for your kind words Chris. I did feel a tinge of sadness pulling out of the drive for the last time Friday evening but I'm so pleased we have got the job done considering the legal delays and then the bad weather of late. It has been a pleasure working for you both. Great progress this weekend and I hope Kim's head isn't too bad. Looking forward to sitting back and watching the interior fixtures being installed. Flashing Blade signing out! Lol
  4. Such sad news. Our thoughts are with Martins loved ones.
  5. Wow! My 1976 Ford Capri 1.3 in white with the very trendy black leatherette roof cost me the princely sum of £650! Bet that Citroen would probably buy you a house if you still had it now!
  6. I agree Olly. If it was round I recon a few speed humps would make it that shape anyway! Lol
  7. Thanks. Been trying to grab a few hours at the weekend so progress has been fairly slow until all the parts arrived.
  8. Not a lot of progress over the last couple of weeks due to some key parts being delayed which this week finally arrived so the engine bay could be put back together. I know it looks still looks scruffy but the skill involved in repairing the lower intake pipe considering its condition before is very good. Bob kindly agreed to pop over this afternoon to lend a hand in exchange for a pending slabbing job in his and Netti's front garden so a skill swap was in order! First job was to fit new Samco hoses. New front panel with Misimoto rad and fan shroud next. Installed the front panel,GTM intercooler,induction pipes,air con condenser rad,supercharger oil cooler with all the piping. We put the head lights on to check alignment of the vented Tarnac front wings. Good fit. This is where we got after 4 hours with doughnuts/coffee and lemonade! A big thank you to Chris at Tarmacsportz for spending the time to source the best deal from the US which turned up yesterday! Genuine Nismo V3 front bumper! More to come.
  9. Names: 1: MrsNiki + 1 Hotel booked 3rd/4th June 2.buster and mrs buster Hotel booked 3rd/4th June 3. Andy and Katrina.hotel booked.
  10. There is no way you did this handraulically We know you too well Bloomin well did every last one (except the ones Andy did) But I did the most I did a few hundred nails. Chris did a few thousand!!!
  11. Spent a couple of hours on Sunday sorting out the oil and supercharger oil coolers and straightening out the fins on the intercooler which got knackered in the crash! Waiting for the main Supercharger induction pipe to be re made which looked like this! Samco hoses turned up today thanks to Chris at Tarmac and what with the new front panel from Ewan at Clark Motorsport I've got most of the parts required to re build the engine bay! Much more to come.
  12. Looking good Bob! Better get a patent application in on those side skirts before Tarmac starts copying them! Lol.
  13. The Silver Pheonix once finished would love to experience new roads! Subject to dates we are in.
  14. The pictures are stunning and you would think that was a modified car! Nismo are really stepping up to the mark to separate the styling of the 370 and GTR from the stock car.
  15. My hr consistently crossed the finish line timing beam at 99 mph while bouncing off the rev limiter in third at Gurston Down.
  16. Interesting question which is very difficult to quantify as every rolling road/ hub dyno will give a different reading so you never really know how much power your car is delivering,but what you do get on all of them is called "the gain". Put simply,run car on the dyno to get a standard power figure then add new mods/ uprev and dyno again! This sounds great in principle but as we all know you bolt on the mods and then dyno the car as it's an expensive exercise to dyno the stock motor and then go back again to tune! Just out of interest I looked in my rather thick folder and found my original dyno chart when I first started modifying my car. The car. 2007 hr 14k miles Modifications. K and N typhoon induction kit,Japspeed k2 exhaust. 289.1at the fly on surrey rolling road. Once uprev installed she pushed out 309.4. Your car will breath better than mine did with the y pipe and the berks so you could see 315. Without the uprev all mods will just gain noise!
  17. Wouldn't catch me being that silly!! Lol
  18. Sorry to see this Dip. We have met on several occasions and I have enjoyed your company and your much loved Z. I'm not sorry to hear you are moving on to start a new happy future! Good luck to you both. Keep in touch chap. GLWTS
  19. After the awful weather of last week the pressure was still on to sort out a way of lifting up the steel beams. I have used genies before with standard RSJs but not at anywhere near this height,weight and awkward shape so even after 30 years experience Mr James,Chris and Kim were in a serious bum twitching situation!! Lol. Bloody amazing piece of kit,and as Chris said to me you have to trust the fact that it will lift what it says on the label! Lol We done good yesterday and are on the home straight now.
