+6 But looks great though Dale.

Good questions Dimitri. I am not sure you need much more than 1deg unless you are going to do track work. But if you are going to hang onto the car for a while then I would be rose jointing the front. Keep in mind it is not strictly legal (Roadworthy) but plenty of people like myself run rose joints on normal road going Zeds. I guess you have to decide what you want your car for and what you want to get out of it and how long you plan on keeping for. If the answer is 10 years plus. Rose joint it for sure.

Sounds to me like the age old story. Some half baked person organising it ran out of money and let the big boys take over. The big boy's let all the Porsches in and pay their money for max track time. While the plebes get less track time but stuck paying similar money. Of course the organisers still want the non Porsche entrants to come along so they can get your money. But that's all they want from you hence the restricted or lesser track time. Bottom line the Porsche boys get their event partly subsidised by the people who have less.! Why am I not surprised they won't offer a refund even though they have changed the event. Ahhh motor sport you got to love it.

I like them!

Very nice Rev. I notice your not going for the smooth look on the rear?

Hmmmm interesting. $1,000- wouldn't be too bad. If you went a proper rack and cut up the cross member, installed pump etc you would be close to that. Electric would be easier to instal I imagine. But I am still to be convinced it would work on my car. :-\

Sad to see the car up for sale Stew. Is a great car so don't comprimise on price. I'm surprised the usual wankers haven't his the thread with the usual "if only I had the money I would buy it straight away". Ha Anyway good luck with it.

Yes Shan you are correct about the weight of the V8. Not a huge difference. Same as the steering. But like I say, lower it, wide wheels and adjust your castor for better handling and it gets heavy for parking. Cruising the highway is not a problem. But I too want the wife to be able to drive it and my kids some day. So power steering will go in one day.

I am glad to hear all went well Fozzy. A good plus for Zshop.

So fozzy how did you go?

Lower the car, adjust the camber/castor and put some wide tyres on and it get's heavy. Oh and a V8 up front doesn't help either.

My understanding is that this sort of set up is only for very light vehicles. Zeds have heavy steering as we all know so I don't reckon you will find anything that will do the job properly. Subi rack all the way.

Ahhh glad you told me Dimitri as they only have blue. (He got back to me) So it doesn't have a blue panel then? Just lit up by the light? If so I might have to order one and give you a yell when it comes in. I am still waiting for my push button start. Should be a couple of days now. Cheers

I have asked if they have one with a Red Led display. If so I will get one.

Ahhhh Nikck. I am sorry to hear that mate. Terrible news. I think most of us have been there and share your pain. A lot of money down the drain. Sometimes doing the Tassie roads for a week beofre highlights any possible problems (except brakes if you ignore the signs) before hitting the track. Oh well save the pennies and go bigger and better. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thread read 73 times with a heading like that and only 6 reply's. Hmmmmm.

That's the one Bruce only $160- on eBay.

Rev, I bought this adaptor lead from home to Van 15amp to home 10amp 240V adaptor off eBay. Would this do the job? Cost was $160- and had a circuit breaker or trip switch on it. Might be cheaper than an electrician and easier? The link won't work but I can get you more details if you like. PM if interested.

Ha Ha that's funny Sulio. You haven't got time to be here. Now go change some napies.

Congratulations to Sulio and Nicole. Awesome job. So glad to hear everything went well. I am sure Hana will bring much enjoyment in the coming years. Just keep the sleep up over the next few weeks before she really wakes up. Your life has changed for ever mate. Cheers.

I threw a set of Chev Headers out that suited a Zed years ago. That was because I changed the position of the motor in the engine bay plus went larger diameter. Your best be would be to get a custom job done. Block huggers will restrict air flow unless you are running a low powered V8. In which case I would question "why bother doing the engine swap in the first place". But that's just me. Cheers

Couldn't have put it any better myself Rev.

Yeah but being nice, calm, quiet and polite (as I do most of the time) won't necessarily get them to give you a warning and send you on your way with a happy smile. Granted it won't hurt and might even help stave off any further fines or hassles but in reality 95% of cases you will still be booked for your initial offence. So let's not get too carried away with being extra nice and expecting to get off. Let's face it if they have the attitude (not you) and they don't like the look of you or your car then no amount of "being nice" is going to save your ass.

I agree pantah.

All these warm fuzzy stories are going to make me shed a tear. NOT! As I say wear a short skirt, show a bit of cleavage or shed a tear, you get off with a warning. Have a set of testicals, hotted up car and the dodgy cops fine you. I guess my point is consistancy. And they should be professional and not take things personally. People shouldn't have to suck up to cops to get let off? :-\ Police should be consistent. Problem is plenty of them think they are too good and have massive ego's that need to be fed with lots of sucking up. Like that b!tch on TV who just starts finding anything wrong with a car because some guy showed some attitude. If they can't take it and be mature/professional about it maybe they shouldn't be in the job. But to simply just get a person and fine them as much $ as they can because some young guy objects to their Mr Meaner in the first place. Hmmm Sorry I won't suck up anybody's bum even if it means getting a fine. Don't like cops and never will. They have lied and cheated to me too many times. Even threatened to arrest me for laws that didn't exist. (Not car related)That's a whole other story. But again I say. 11 knifings in Melbourne last weekend. Plenty of offenders not caught. And those who are get off with lighter sentences than a so called "Hoon" drivers. They don't go to jail, they get fined bugger all and good behaviour. But drive fast, get fined more $, lose your car and possibly your job. Sorry but I must be the only one here who thinks more resources should be redirected from driving offences (Not drink driving) to street violence. But we all know which one is easier and safer for the cops to tackle. Plus with more convictions, less court time it's easier to go the soft target. But don't get started. Ha Ha
