I heard some feedback via the grapevine that apparently the paintwork is crap :roll: Not sure how that story came about as the boys at PPG were really impressed with the job I had done & commented that it was a lot better than some full on professional shops with proper booths had managed with t...

Looked VERY sharp even if it was only on the back of a truck 8)

The Z1 twin plate has some very good things but a couple of things you need to know: Noise, it's not more or less silent like most OEM clutches, it will make a slight chirp when engaging & it will have a slight rattle while your foot is on the clutch pedal. It will allow the engine to rev more f...

If you have an NA gearbox it's no problem as you can remove a very small amount of material from inside the bellhousing and run a spacer on the starter motor and then run the TT sized flywheel & clutch. A GOOD single plate clutch will hold up to 400KWs at the hubs no trouble at all - been there ...

Just a bit of a tip: If you plan on getting the car re complied & back on the road then don't remove any of the emission control gear including the AIVs until AFTER it's been re complied. I'm not sure on the exact details of the rules/laws off the top of my head but I do know they are getting pr...

I pulled the doors and front panels off & did inside the door frames etc (but not the inside of the actual door as that is grey so fairly inert) $3500 in materials & about forty hours work by the time it has a polish etc, all adds up to about five to six grand. I took it in to show the boys ...

So this little car proved to be a bit tricky to sell, flooded market & people who seemed to be to fussy for their own good. Then I accidentally painted her & gave her some new shoes: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x296/mungyz/008_zpsa330fdcb.jpg The paint is actually a green colour calle...
