I've just watched the video again And frankly, I'm shocked and appalled. There's no sign of a second bucket when she's cleaning the General Lee, she appears to be only using one bucket. If she thinks she's coming anywhere near my Zed in that bikini, covered in soapy suds and only one bucket, she can just turn around and go back to Hazzard.

So what was found and/or done to try rectify the suspension issues? I remember your recent post where you mention the creaking over speed bumps and things like the drop links and banana arms were suggested as points for investigation. The car was still under warranty at the time - so what happened?

I'll get some pics of my bumper at the weekend and ask in the 'What it's worth' thread, as I'm really not sure. Leave it with me

Rear spring mount mod carried out to level stock suspension
14N replied to dpbayly's topic in Suspension
Fairly easy, yes. Especially with an air saw. PITA with just a hacksaw. Was discussed a bit in my thread when I got my springs, including a link to a US thread. Looksee: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/67814-me-and-my-zed-thread-update-050514/page__st__40 -
Rear spring mount mod carried out to level stock suspension
14N replied to dpbayly's topic in Suspension
I've seen this done in the USA quite a lot, but not so much over here. I picked up a spare pair of shock mounts so I could try it myself after my Tein springs had settled. But to be honest, I'd forgotten all about them! May still give this a go as I think I could still lose a few mm on the rear. I just need to remember where I put them... Nice work -
I appreciate some of you may of seen this already, and it may even be a , but it made me chuckle so I figured I'd share it anyway. Apparently it's based on a Suzuki Cappucino. Don't know why they put those two spot lights on the front tho. Reminds me of a project on my 'must do one day' list - Bedford Rascal A-Team van

Sorry to see this. I'm assuming they've admitted responsibility due to the pressure washing and they're sorting it for you?

I don't watch F1, but I can guess what the pits and driver rivalry is like. I know this was mentioned a few times when they were chatting to Lewis Hamilton on race day. Great to see the riders loving what they do and enjoying a good race/battle/duel as much as the spectators.

Hello and to the forum. So, let's see her then...... The car I mean

Looks like a great meet with a good turn out. Well done guys Gutted I couldn't make it

Nice one Kyle, congrats on becoming a Bluey.

You traded a Boxster S for a Zed with starting issues????
-
Get the springs reconditioned for about £15 iirc by a member on here. Check the member traders section. Mine are still going strong. A great upgrade

Wit ha single intake and the 2 lines down the bonnet, yours is definitely a DE engine and not a HR. A HR will have 2 intakes and a bulge bonnet.

Although you may have more choice in winter, as folk generally hold onto them for the summer, I don't think you'll see a massive reduction in prices. Bargains can be had (as 350zedd pointed out), but don't hold out till winter in the hope that you'll find a bargain. If the right car comes up in the meantime, I'd grab it before someone else does. Plus going from a 4WD car to a RWD in the middle of winter may not be the smartest move. It may stall your enjoyment of the car (depending on the kind of winter we get). All just IMO

I love the Evo 6 - It was released when I worked at Ralliart. Maybe own one, one day, but the Zed will have to go first. So maybe I won't.... If you're currently carrying your dog in the boot of your Evo, I think the RSPCA might be interested, as it's a saloon!

A belated to our exclusive club.

OK, update time. So last night I took off the battery covers and scuttle panel at the foot of the windscreen to check the grommets and see if anything looked like it was letting water in. There’s a large circular rubber seal/grommet that sits horizontally directly below the scuttle panel, which I think a couple have referred to. This looked favourite for the source of the leak and has been mentioned on a few different threads when searching for solutions. This looked fine though – still intact and seated correctly. None-the-less I gave everywhere a closer look and a clean (although it wasn’t particularly dirty) and replaced the scuttle panel and covers. Then moved to the door seals, concentrating mainly around the area near the mirror and door hinges, but also looking all around, making sure it was sitting correctly. I pulled all the necessary trim off and the seals and refitted them, just to be sure. So, everything removed, cleaned, examined and refitted, I shut the door, grabbed the hose and gave the door and front quarter a good soak. Gave the water time to drain and opened the door. Nothing. Not a drop Shut the door again and gave the same area another good soak. Opened the door, still dry Looks like by removing and refitting everything, somewhere along the line has sorted the flood. Chuffed. Before putting everything away (but still leaving the carpet pulled up to dry and the seat out), I thought, just to be 100% certain I’d solved the issue, I’d give the whole car a good soak all over, so grabbed the hose again. Let the water drain off and opened the door. This is what I found. [insert same expletive used in the first post]. The water is running from the rear of the car, under the main central bulk head, through the gap you can see, under to second cross member below the seat and then collecting in the footwell. The water is running this way as my car is parked on the drive, with the back higher than the front. So, positives: The water isn’t coming from the windscreen or door areas. Now looks like I’ll be pulling the rear end of my car apart though to check seals etc and I won’t get chance now until next week. Oh another positive, the floorpan below my passenger seat and the passenger footwell is now very clean due to the amount of mopping up taking place.

Sorry to hear this Russ. I had my licence revoked for medical reasons a few years ago. It's hard going out each day seeing your car knowing you can't drive it. But each day that passes is another day closer to you getting the licence back. At least you or no one else was hurt when you had a seizure. It was out of the blue and could of happened at any time. I won't insult anyone's intelligence by suggesting what 'could' of happened if you were driving for example. Glad you're out of hospital and as much in the clear as you can be. Keep your chin up, you'll be back behind the wheel again mate
