  1. All the very best with the sale, that's cheap and will sell quickly.
  2. Way I would look at it is, would I buy a 10yr car that was supercharged? Sure would if it was looked after. Sounds like a perfect once weekly to the office and weekend motor.
  3. The other morning I messaged Chris over at @Tarmac@TarmacSportz to see if they had any stock for their Mines style front splitter, goes they had two on the shelf - so made arrangements to pop up to collect that day. Wanted one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Old splitter and carbon bumper insert off, quick clean up ready for the new item. Fitment was great however being a fussy bugger, i spent some time contouring the splitter where it bulked. Thought I'd rather do this as I didn't want to result to applying a silicon sealant, which can leave the splitter under unnecessary tension as your asking the material to pull/push into place. Unibond double sided tape for the centre and the side line up with the factory bumper lower bolts in front of the wheels. I also ran a torx self taper at the ends near the wheel wells for good measure. Absolutely chuffed with it and may look to PPF it as its in a high traffic area.
  4. Been a busy ol' couple of months for car shows/meets, with going to MidlandZ Evesham meet, Japanese Performance Show, Caffeine & Machine x2, British Motor Museum club meet and Yakushi show mixed with Z convoys for each 😃 Here's a mix of my photos and ones sent to me. Truly wonderful times linking up with fellow Z owners catching up and driving out. Coupled with warning lights on two occasions for a brake light switch fault and airbag connector, mixed with at show repairs for clutch fluid level and sun strip fitting @Phil T ☺️
  5. At the moment, it's kind of like discussing the picture quality of an 8k TV when the country you live in doesn't facilitate for the broadcast lol
  6. I can see this going backwards and forwards which I try to avoid..... Apologies as when you mention 'I think placebo' I took it that you didn't have direct experience and to be fair you still don't for a VQ *engine in question. I have now one fitted and can notice gains as per my build thread, irrespective of hypothesis.
  7. Have you ever had one fitted to a car?
  8. The speed to which the revs build, similar to the feel of a lightweight flywheel or wheels
  9. To upgrade to a LSD it'll be circa £30 per month extra as the vehicle will be bought on finance agreement.
  10. Very good mod for the DE, notice a difference throughout the rev range. Had mine fitted for last 14 months with no issues. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311890702730
  11. ^ this Lovely picture!! Nighttime parking at the end of the t junction..... #shiver
  12. I knew a fair few of other Z owners both inside and out, you'll always get Z's on other stands which is nice. Was a Mega show, not as massive as years gone by however it was quality not quantity.
  13. Got yah fella, best leave it to the top boys
  14. Surely you could have gone to the local Kwik Fit who have the same equipment as CG and ask them to align to the spec that CG gave with print out.....
  15. They we so wild looking in the days, always preferred the Peugeot hot hatch offerings compared to Renault or VW back in the days.
  16. Can't beat Martin's work. Nice job chaps and those should now outlast the car.
  17. Cheers lads, thank you. Will no doubt look to get something together that hopefully doesn't clash with another show before long.
  18. Exactly, 15's were a BIG wheel back then with 195/50 being low profile.
  19. Cheers pal, you were missed. Couple more meets no doubt before the seasons out. Let us know how you get on with ol' girl.
  20. Now for the other beauties, being from a Peugeot background this was a real treat. Meet up with my ol' gaffer who's now MD of Peugeot UK and an ol' boy in a blue 205 1.1 who came down from Inverness!!! My car of the show, Peugeot 309 Goodwood And a cheeky Ford Escort Cosworth
  21. What another fabulous day and sunshine for one of my meets at long last 😁 Thank you everyone for coming, especially those who travelled from far and those who went Japfest the day before #hardcore. Pre meet and rollers
  22. Ello n welkom both, mega cars those pair for sure - stick around
  23. Haha you gone overboard with the wrapping huh? Lol I like the blue now 😂
