All Activity

@DIY-Si we will be going to the A47 Autojumble tomorrow (I'll post it up in a bit) if you fancy that. A bit closer and normally a great day out

Your bikers round stoke way must be a different breed!😉 (Can’t beat a bit of police academy though!)

I bet you had a great time -

Some of us got to monyash early enough to park and get breakfast! 😜 although I did feel a little lonely with the bikers when you drove past😂

Ah man, I kind wish I lived a bit further north! The Peaks is just a bit too far for a sensible morning out for me.

Forgot to mention it's on Gaz shocks and just noticed I put on an older picture, here is a current one. 🫣

I did the same upgrade to mine, definitely makes the car more lively and makes the old "heel and toe" action so much fun!

Perfect weather for a Peaks run today! 9am just south of Derby with Ben, Dan, Lee, James, Paul and myself. Tim joined us as we were setting off. A quick stop north of Derby to collect new member Mark and we headed for the wide open spaces of Derbyshire! A good hours worth of fun B road blatting before landing at Monyash to find it rammed full of bikes! Having spent so many days out with @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative , the internal satnav kicked in and I diverted the long way round to the Bull 'i Thorn where Glynn joined us maming whooshing noises.... hopefully it's just his new turbo 😂 The Bull 'I Thorn used to be a regular haunt of ours but we hadn't been back since its reopening. Glad we did as the breakfasts were lovely and could sit out in the sunshine to stuff our faces! When everyone was suitably refreshed, the gang started to head their seperate ways so I took the opportunity to give Mark a sample of 9,000rpm with a quick passemger ride. Having come from bikes and owned some fast Porsches, Mark is already thinking about upgrades to his ITB'd Zetec 😂 Mark also fancied stretching the legs of his car a little now he was getting used to it, so the two of us had a more spirited little convoy on the way home until he peeled off near Derby. Cracking day out, hope you all had a laugh and got home safely 👍

I am booked up for this, are there any of the northern contingent who fancy a day out. There is a wide variety of vehicles that attend and activities on the day. June 2nd if your free.

I’ll look into it. Apologies for not responding sooner, but I only just noticed that I was tagged!

I’ve just completed 40k in mine!!

Fast road or track focused. Full cage, chrome yellow, mini lite wheels, which if I end up keeping the car I'll get refurbished, (or if any one is interested in the car, I'm happy to get them done prior to selling). The engine is a 2.0 zetec black top originally bought as a new engine and build by Northampton Motorsport, this engine has done around 7,000 miles I believe. I have a rolling road print out showing 200 bhp, but I've since replaced the exhaust for a raceline manifold and a 6" Wunoff re-packable silencer at a cost of £1200, would like to think it makes a few horses more, but it breathes better whatever. It's also had a new radiator (Coolex), a recent service, new pipercross air filter, oil filter and plugs. It has Wilwood 4 pot calipers and discs up front, drums rear (although I've never found the car wanting for stopping power as I would think it'll be under 600kgs comfortably). Type 9 straight cut gearbox, and a Westfield LSD. Carbon front wings, carbon dash, carbon seats. Virtually all the hoses have been changed for red silicone. I've decided to sell as I originally bought the car to do track days with my boy but at 6'5" he's just too big to fit in! I've only used it for runs out and it's been totally reliable. £11500

In good company at Goodwood 100 Breakfast Club this morning. Great turnout and varied selection of cars and bikes.

Hi Guys, I have until the end of May to confirm number of cars attending before the show organisers assign areas to each club. I am hopeful 🙏 to get more before we commit but very happy to have the 6 confirmed and poss 2 others. I have requested space for 6 plus gazebo, so hopefully we get a good spot again. if any of the new guys in our "East of England" group can make it? or maybe from Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire area's??? It is a great day out with a massive variety of cars, clubs, entertainment, stalls etc. and cheap. If you would like to come along, please copy and paste the list to a new post below and add your name. 1/ Jason 2/ Martin Bell 3/ Barry 4/ Tony (Bigfoot 5/ Tim Lessore 6/ si_salisbury (doesn't want to make his own sandwiches) 7/ Andrew Clarke (possible) 8/ Gary D.

3,000 miles 🤯 it ain’t even run in yet so keep to 3,000 revs - 🤩🙏👍

Nice to hear of one with such high mileage. Mine was one of the first built (1993) and I’m still only on about 3000 miles!

Thanks to all that helped me here, yes the 15 is a big improvement on my now failed 6, at first I was a bit confused at the lack of the physical button at the bottom of the phone, but soon worked it out, the interface , although updated is still as easy to navigate and pleased to say the camera side if it is much better also. My only criticism would be that who ever is refurbing these and then packing them up, nice enough as the box was, all stout and everything it never came with the sim tray removal pin thingy. This was resolved by borrowing a suitable dress making pin from next door ( I don't "do" sewing, lol ) also the charge cable they included wasn't what I use, it came with a USB C at both ends rather than the C at one end and the standard ( I don't know what it's called) USB a PC has. no big deal as my local grocery store has these on the shelf.

Ended up at the Bull I Thorn as Monyash was a car park 😂

Barry see my listing I have a genuine Wide arch ZK pair see my listing in classified. They are good but will need prep and paint.

Was the Rover engine a Cross Plane?

Only experience I had with a stairlift was its ability to destroy lots of the electronic devices in the house. During a short stint working for a small PC supplier had to revisit a customer repeatedly due to endless failures. After finally getting honest answers to some pertinent questions it turned out they had suffered a crop of failures of kit since the stairlift was installed. We put in a line-conditioning UPS which solved the PC issues but did nothing to help the parade of blown up TVs etc. I don’t think they really believed me that it was the stairlift to blame….

Have fun all!

There is a V8 Westie group on FB-https://www.facebook.com/groups/429934755136505 Though as @AndrewBClarke and @Quinten will admit, the club is inclusve to all members including those was larger numbers of cylinders than others. Brakes/bodywork/suspension/steering etc is common across the Seiw range. I do like hearing @AndrewBClarke car start as well as following him round the peaks, you can't beat a V8 sound track.

Already tried to answer this in your previous thread on the subject:

Hi, As per title, I'm after a good pair of ZK rear arches. Thanks Barry
