  1. I bet, that's a great story. The guys at TZ are almost always brilliant, it's a great site. Only downside with it s that because everyone knows what stuff is worth, bargains are harder to come by. I bough my zenith and a zodiac off there with no hassle.
  2. It's a great watch, had mine 4 years Use it daily with no service and it's still spot on (touch wood). Would love another zenith el Primero, I have a 1969 series 1, but can't afford it at the moment as I'm saving to get the vx220 supercharged over the winter.
  3. Was scanned when in for the MOT and all is well. The throttle sensor seemed OK when I was looking at it but it'll be on the list to check. Anyone know where the dry solder joints for fuel pump may be???
  4. Hi guys, car has developed the annoying on/off throttle jerk that seems to be common. Not being much of a mechanic I've booked into garage for Friday but rather than paying lots of time for diagnosis I was thinking about putting a list together of the common causes. Doing a search listed dry solder on fuel pump, and maf plug, but is there anything else I can tell him to do in the first instance?? Cheers!
  5. I think is a 37 or 38. Not too big at all, I wear a 41mm Speedmaster Pro and have the wrists of an 80 year old woman. I like it, esp on the NATO. got a black grey NATO which I interchange with the bracelet.
  6. Morning all, my car had its mot yesterday and though it passed I had an advisory on the standard exhaust which is rusting. It's kicked off my thinking about a new system. My old VR had a milltek and I loved the noise of that,so want similar now milltek don't do the corrado anymore lots on here seem to endorse the jetex and longlife. I have a bmc cda fitted so I don't want an accompanying exhaust to sound nuts, just like a proper v6. 2 eBay sellers have some resonated jetex fir sale around the 370 mark, anyone ever bought from them? Also the MOT guy said the underneath of the car was the cleanest corrado he'd ever seen :)
  7. I think 6-7 would about right if it's standard. I would only pay more for something like the heavily worked on 4wd turbo type stuff with retrimmed recaros and bbs splits, or a car with a recent strip and spray with photos etc.
  8. Pick a time and we'll sort it!
  9. True, we need a mini Swansea meet!
  10. Mine is doing the same, going in for a service in 2 weeks and asked them to look into it so I'll report back if it's sorted...
  11. Sorry to hijack, red VR in Swansea on mahooosive speedlines. Welcome all ye newbies!
  12. Can I have a black one please?? Pm me with payment details. Cheers, Pete.
  13. I have a VX220 as well as the corrado and everywhere I go people drive really aggressively around me. Sometimes it can be really disconcerting...
  14. For rare occasions... Mclaren F1 250 GTO Lola T70 MB 300SL gullwing Aston DB5 Zonda GT3 RS and for every day... Morgan aero sport Supercharged 2.2 VX220 Audi A6 TDI estate :)
  15. Still about 400 per tonne, More than things like the 458, reventon or mac slr!
  16. That must be enzo pace!!!
  17. Not tried that one, though I'm on vx220.org cheers
  18. Hi guys, been looking at a new weekender for a while and after being messed around on a few cars I finally settled on this 2.2. The car has a Larini backbox and itg maxogen, and I have a grand plan to supercharge it over. I also will be selling the plate M5VVX if anyone is interested as I have a plate to go on. Cheers, Pete.
  19. I have oem style speedlines in a 17, and think they suit the car brilliantly

    Why Recaro?

    I agree, the ones fitted to RS fords of the same era were way better.

    Mountain Bikes

    Sorry for the lo res but I ride this crazy hardtail... Has a scandium frame used in the 04 Athens games and lots of trick bits for lightness. The whole bike hits the scales under 8.5kg. Shame I'm so fat really and let the side down somewhat haha!!!

    Remap a VR6??

    My car came with a remap from AMD and it's really responsive compared to my old C. Not sure about it being much faster but it rolling roaded a bit higher. Makes the car feel lighter and fresher I think that's where the best gain is. I also get about 26mpg on the same runs to work I used to get no more than 22 from my old vr...
  23. Colour change or are you sticking with white? I debated long and hard about changing when I ha mine done but I chickened out in the end and it stayed red lol.
  24. They sound fantastic, but nice and quiet in town.
