i have been so keen to not cut up the guards etc on mine, as old men hate that

They sure do!

But I decided that I'm probably gonna have the car for yonks so resale value is less of an issue. And all the Z's I saw photos of which made me want to get one in the first place had flares so there was no way I wouldn't do it.

And they did come out of the factory that way (all 500 of them) so it's not total blashphemy.

And shit, they just look way better with flares.

however....... i'm starting to thin,k otherwise..................

Doooo eeiiitt!

Agh dude, unlucky with the BHG!

Or what ever the problem is.

that seems most likely though, good job at getting head stud out!

But yeah, dont have to get turbo crazy with cleaning the block surface, but the cleaner the better.

Maybe run over remaining bits with a razor blade. and clean the surface with brake cleaner or wax and grease remover before fitting new gasket.

As for removing the bushes and sheels, yes they can be a cunt. but as you have dont, the best way is to cut a slit in them the whole way through so they retract in, then use a punch, hammer and abuse to get them out haha!

Should be much better without the toe!

id keep the spoiler dude,as much as Zs look good without them i like how it blends into the front flares(i want to do similar with my escort van) 8)

It totally looks better with the 'dam; I just think there're better ones out there. So I'll replace it one day when I'm back in the black.

I ended up checking this out by way of the spotted page, then the build page. I've seen it heaps on St Georges and always thought it was a bought-not-built ride that someone in one of the ad agencies owned, but checking out your build page, you're a fucking demon, much respect.

fuck you are looking incredibly hansom in those pics Mikey.... oh wait!

Yeah, you really make the car look good Al. If you had flares on your Z you'd have bitches for Africa.

I only just noticed the last 5 posts. Damn the oldschool emails not working!

I was stoked to be able to have a bit of a tussle at one stage

Shit yeah! Was such good times.

Bring on the next track day. Hampton downs are having a couple in sept. I'm pretty keen, would be good if there were a few oldschoolers there to bring down the HP average with me.
