Awesome to hear mate! Sounds like a great buy. Love to see these pics when you get them up.

[Mr Volvo]

Sounds awesome, waiting for pics here too.

Is it a 2 or 4 seater?

[Deus Ex]

Its a 2 seater

[Murph]

Where's the pics!

Out of interest, here's a little vid of my zed vs. matt's zed at the drags a month or so ago. Mine is (obviously) the really slow one with the shocking reaction time.

Was pretty cool having them both there though. It's rare enough to see two zeds in the same place at the same time here, let alone two identical looking 260z's racing each other. Btw, matt's was running ~14.4, mine around ~16.7.

The Pics are coming dont worry, have been busying myself doing little bits here and there. Getting some new sticky front tyres soon.

Nice Vid, i think it was only your reaction time that let you down. Its ok, my first run will be crap. Virgin to Drags.

Who do you go through for your spares? There are some little things i want for the interior that are hard to find (ie the little chrome caps on the arms rests.

Thanks heaps for the tach stuff too, ill keep it in mind

[Murph]

Hmmm I wouldn't know who to get such little interior bits from, other than other zed owners with parts cars. Speaking of which, I might just have a 2+2 parts car soon. Will let you know.

[Deus Ex]

Sounds great, i went to Midwest Spares and they had a spare called a Handle Escutcheon (chrome), i have no idea what that is. Once i get this thing my interior will be perfect (aside from the always pending red recaro's ).

Are you gonna sell the spares from the 2+2 or are you gonna use it for your own car?

[260Zed]

The "Handle Escutcheon (chrome)" I believe is the interior backing piece behind the door relase lever, normailly gets scratched or cracked. Held in by a little screw.

I normally call it a door handle thingo. :stupid:

BTW is that something they meke, or they just have a spare?

Fwiw

I'll have to check it's condition before I decide that. But from what I know of it so far, it's about a 90% chance it will be used for parts. So whatever I don't use, will be sold.

[Deus Ex]

AH that little piece, no thats not what im after. Dang. Huzzah i have my first pic up (engine) will get more soon (girlfriends stupid brother over wrote the others).

So how much is this 2+2 gonna set you back?

[Murph]

Not sure...find out monday what the dude wants.
