My Y1 would be perfect for yours. 1st and 2nd are shorter, the other 3 gears makes up for it.

If I do change plans will you be interested? Im sure there will be no shortage of takers on a Y1.

Just had a look there and I don't have any photos of the hoses, However they are identical to the VT brakes where they connect.

And where did u get that sexy little battery and stay from? looks nice and light!!

I can't remember where I got the battery from, I think they come up on Ebay from time to time though. Holder is a slightly modified PWJDM one. Saved me 6.6 KG over the last battery.

I forget how much work you have done!

Thanks very much, Shes far from stock now

but I have still have load more I want to do.

They certainly give a very strong pedal feel with no spongyness, firm feel all the way.

As I put them on at the same time as everything else I can't really say how much improvement they made over stock but its bound to help.

Hey sorry for the spam

20 degrees sound nice

Please try and keep spamming to the miniumum. In other words no more after this, neccessary posts only. This thread is pretty long already!!

You didn't need to do that, I wasn't that worried!

I just didn't want what normally happens to happen, in that one comment such as starts about 10 replys and ends up filling a whole page.

A well deserved break then. The last time I worked on the car for a week I managed to mess up the skin on my hands, too many chemicals and water.

anything new with the EE9CVC?

Unfortunatly not, due to money, or rather lack of it. I've just been driving her and keeping it clean, still loving it.

I do have loads of plans but not much will be happening until the summer, first on the list is some bodywork at the back of the car to get it the way I want it and also my passenger side arch has a small amount of rust on it so that will be getting fixed. (thankfully thats the only rust on the whole car

) I have loads of parts awaiting in the attic.

But other than the bodywork, CAI and Tuning the Engine there is not really a lot more I can do to her. (Altough that list will come to probably over 2K

)

Only recent thing I've done is remove the rear wiper.

I'm hoping by the end of this summer she will be a totally mint beast with around 220HP

She will never be sold, but once done I will start on a new Project which will either be a 240Z (to be RB26'd) or an EF9 to be K24'd.
