Awesome video buddy! Finally gotten round to watching it, really does show the weight of these vehicles Thought Id dig out the old youtube collection, really scary to think some of these were 10 years ago! This was my 1/8th scale panther which was litterally rescued from Marks field! And my 1/16th king tiger which was built by my myself and weathered by a chap up in Scotland! Parcel force lost it in the post for two weeks

Maybe I do see it Strudul and just enjoy poking you with that stick as its oh so easy. Oh look, a bite!

You did a Strudul and didnt read. I meant the civic, not the Z... The facepalm is real :/

The hyper black is a lovely colour. What are these like fitment wise for Zs out the box?

Well done on dodging that bullet chap, can only imagine that it was a difficult conversation where despite your best interests you still looked the bad guy! Id look at it this way, in a years time one of two things will have happened. 1.) She'll have defaulted on paying and still be acting like its someone elses fault, this distant aunt will be jumping up and down wishing she'd perhaps thought it through more and not gotten involved, and you can say I told you so... 2.) She wont have defaulted on the rent however I doubt it will have been plain sailing and the aunt will still be stressing over it and wishing she hasn't stuck her neck on the line, and you'll be saying I told you so haha. Either way, you'll be sorted knowing you did the right thing

Easier to go off a 12V live, like the ciggy lighter.

Can safely say I've done 140mph in the Z once, and once only. And never again. Was approaching an ever so slight bend in the duel carriageway and the Z began to twitch terribly. It was honestly one of those moments where it was 50/50 between surviving it, or dying. If I'd let off, dead. If I'd braked, dead. Just kept the power level and held on. My brother who was following me said it was beyond how evident the twitching was and I got the telling off of a lifetime when I got home and to be honest I deserved it. Had a very large whiskey to calm the nerves Id recommend geo and tyres before perhos some tired bushings or shocks. Certainly wont be doing it again myself, they were good boxers

Dont panic boys, the armotek models are made completely from scaled steel armor. If memory serves there 1/6th king tiger weights about 200kg

It can do but its rare, you're more likely to damage them by cleaning them with chemicals or contamination. My particular windows tinters say dont use the demister for two weeks to let it properly adhere. Not had any issues either and I use it regularly

Thanks Dan, was just always brought up that its not a dumb question if you learn from it. Guess thats how we built my old engine and why it took so long with me fannying around lol. Just this is the one thing I dont enjoy is when it throws up issues because I dont have the knowledge of VQs to understand them fully. Like just where this low idle has come out of nowhere

Where in W Sussex are you Olly? Littlehampton bud, right on the coast. But happy to travel for some Zed days with fellow petrol heads!

I could try and tie it in with the fitting of the plenum spacer... Would make sense for both to be off and then could look to getting it remapped the following month, would give a good indication of the engine health...

Thanks everyone, especially TrickyRicky and Dan for putting up with my dumb questions, do wish some of you were more local to supervise me haha. I love learning but this thing has bitten me everytime So Im going to look for another MAF sensor, change the plugs and lastly a new battery in that order and see if that cures my low idle, how does that sound?

Given my current track record with this car and how its bitten me every time with engine lights when Ive attempted something, how much of a DIY job would you say this is along with cleaning the PVC? Have to be honest Im rather embarrassed by how this car has kicked my backside everytime compared to the old Hondas...

So I think I hadnt plugged the MAF back in properly from looking through the pictures I took before hand. So this morning I took it apart again, tripple checked everything then did the pedal dance to clear codes. Started it up and now no lights at all... So does that mean ive cleared them and its not detecting an error? If thats the case then its good but Im still left with this lower RPM idle, going to attempt idle reset tomorrow. What else could cause a low idle?

I thought a dodgy thermostat only caused overheating, not underheating? However for the sake of £50 maybe I'll just get it done anyway It can do either depending on which way its stuck, either open or closed. Easiest way to check if a thermostat is goosed is dangle it with some string in boiling water. Youll see if it opens or closes

Id like to know what way as well...

Its never dropped that low before with a shake to it thats the issue for cleaning the MAF. I only used carburettor cleaner as advised on the forums and no metal wires were touched :l Will get the code reader in the week and see what it says

Refitted the MAF sensor and as predicted all its done is made things worse. Im reaching the end of my tether with this car. Since bringing out of storage and the body shop I've had nothing but warning lights all week. It started with an ECU light, which was O2 sensors again because of HFCs. I do have spacers before anyone asks so switched them off for the time being. Following day I had the airbag warning light, again switched off. Ive had the traction light flicker on and off as well despite being in crawling traffic.The car then developed a low idle, sitting in traffic you could hear it popping and banging with an idle of 500rpm. Switching the aircon on helped bring this back up to 900rpm. Pulled the MAF sensor out and gave it a squirt with carburettor cleaner as recommended on the forum. Plugged it in today and this is whaI'mim greeted with. ECU light ESP light TRACTION light And a fluctuating idle. At a complete loss as to how all this has come since its A.) Sat in my garage and B.) fitted spacers. Bar the idle it was ok yesterday for a short period

I went for limo tint on the back of mine

Gave her a gentle bath today after a night of brake bedding in last night, my new wheels were black! I've also pulled the MAF sensor in an attempt to see if its whats causing my dodgy idle. Cant say I saw any obvious signs of contamination but then its so small I doubt the naked eye could see it Some pictures And a little present so we're all stocked up ready for some shows!

Well Ive pulled the MAF out today and given it a qood squirt with carburettor cleaner and its now sat on the window sill blotting off which Ill refit tomorrow. No obvious signs of contamination but then its so small I doubt the naked eye could pick it up Noticed ive got a leaky rocker cover again so im wondering if the plugs are wet. Think my next modification may be a new cover, god help my wallet

Most people just buy bumper mesh for there aftermarket bumper, thats what I did. Got it quite chunky so it didnt look like chicken coop wire

The rear 3 can have any amount of tint on, not a problem. As mentioned above the stock front windows have a factory fitted tint which is around 20-25%. This was confirmed by my window tinters so wouldn't advice anything on the front. Dont forget to declare them too!
