Yeah theyl chop ur finger off in bed & nick ur car from your drive!!

Let em get 3 to 4 years old & it'l be a bargain!!

First: VW Golf Mk2 1.8 Driver (Gti Lookalike, thanks to me!) Worst: TVR Chimaera 4.0 (though the most thrilling at times)

I use tinyurl.com

Havr u owned a Rear wheel drive car before Nixy? Here is something I thought of in another topic: "IMO in a FWD car you have to do the traditional gear down;brake;turn in; accelerate out/through corner. If you want to increase speed through corner then brake later & on way out accelerate to the limit where front wheels are almost losing traction & car is hitting apex nose almost sliding out of control but not. This is good but if you do overdo it can come unstuck by losing front end & skiding out nose first. (into kerb etc!) Hence I prefer RWD as there is firstly more fun to be had with tail out slides etc but IMO more importantly there is more margin for error. By taking corners with slight oversteer turn in & you can get out of trouble with a bit extra opposite lock turn out. But more importantly on a tight circuit (private road) where you may have barriers/kerbs, if you dont do above & take a gradual smoother line through the corner while accelerating out (almost like FWD car), you could overdo it & end up sliding/sliping into kerb etc, by losing traction at front. With extra turn in, & car is pointing at more of a sharper angle into corner & waiting till weight is shifted on back of car mid corner, powering down (with slight opp lock)will only cause car to straighten up for corner & will not be sliding towards kerb nose first. However saying all that you could get the opp lock wrong, too much power & end up fishtailing into the kerb if your unlucky!! "

I see what you mean, it could be a print error, or splice & join, or 12v power wire is only from HKS SLD & not on plug. Wont know till I get to the ECU plug on the day though.

I havent got to the ECU yet (will do on Monday), but it seems you just splice the plug's wires (which connects into ECU, corresponding positions as on HKS diagram refer to corresponding wires on plug). So for power & earth you have two seperate wires on plug to splice & connect two seperate wires from HKS SLD (one power & one earth). Did you recieve the HKS fitting diagram I emailed DJ DUnk?

DJ Dunk I looked into it today & spoke to Chris @ JDM/Funkystyling who was very helpful & went to my local auto electrician mate whos gona do it on Monday. Looks quite simple really, maybe 45 min job. The HKS instructions show the side of the ECU, which is a bit misleading as you have to splice the wires in the plug that connects into the ECU. i.e you have to look at the ECU diagram to see which wire (from the plug) plugs into the ECU socket & splice that wire in the plug. So you actually work backwards from the ECU to the plug wire. Also found this very useful faq by Techonsquare on how to access the ECU (no need to remove it though for fitting Speed Defencer) http://www.technosquareinc.com/350ZECUremoval.htm & http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/manuals/350Z_-_G35_ECU_Removal_Instructions_for_ECU_Flash.pdf

Have a nice holiday mate ps let us know how they Mustang went & pics.

Just saw this now, very sorry to hear this Tim, my thoughts are with you & your family.

pics?

Goodluck Chris ps You broke the world record for delivery time yesterday. I ordered my carbon fibre speedo unit cover yesteday afternoon, it arrived 8:30am today! Thanks mate

Bloody hell mate that some work there Excellent job, looks ace

Like I said see the grid times at the start

Wow, sounds like a jet plane crossed with a steam engine B)

Clutch relese bearing is noisy on many zeds, quite common, nothing to worry about.

Proof of the pudding: (ps also at start check out grid times for S & Z) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRJkvpct_CM End of..............

That is stunning.......... & fukcin mean!!

Sorry mate, havent fitted or had a look at mine yet, will have a look at ECU etc on Sunday, as all day busy tmrw at Charity Golf tournamnet.

No way Teardrop 996's looked like shitey boxsters, the 997 returns the Porsche to the classic shape of 993's & before IMHO There has only ever been one everyday supercar, end of..........

IMO sounds like it doesnt need a respray, just a proffesional deatiler to work his magic & hard graft

I recently mullered one in my zed. Not that much in it till approx 50 mph ish & then you'l find it easier. Though you willl outbrake him & outhandle him on the twisties. Cayman S is a different kettle of fish

IMO 360 modena is old design;poor quality build & workmanship; stupid runing costs, cant really compare to new to 997 or new F430. I would stay well away from older model Ferraris like the plague, unless you have very deep pockets

Oh no here we go again!! I can see this becoming another labour of love for you!!
